Solves a few important issues at once. Security. Context size. DRY. Observability to think of a few.

Excellent comparison of @nextjs and @tan_stack in 2026 for those not defaulting to the incumbent. Thinking of @remix_run dev.to/elvissautet/nextjs-fi…

Impressive
Seeing some qs on what Gemini *is* (beyond the zodiac :). Best way to understand Gemini’s underlying amazing capabilities is to see them in action, take a look ⬇️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Google has admitted that the researchers fed still images to the model and edited together successful responses, partially misrepresenting the model's capabilities.
As noted on their youtube channel description provided a disclosure of video edits.

Push through the anxiety.
This is one of the best videos to ever exist for entrepreneurs, creators... I think about it often.
In 2016, Pharrell Williams visited a NYU music production class to critique student songs.
At the beginning you could see student "Maggie Rogers" drenched with the absolute terror of sharing this with him.
Pharrell is there just trying to keep his excitement in.
The guy couldn’t wait to tell her this song is the bee’s knees.
After he listened to a song called “Alaska”, he explained why “I have zero, zero, zero notes for that:”
24 hours later, someone posted the clip to Reddit.
It blew up and the rest is history. Grammy nominated, millions of followers etc.
And Maggie responded to the Reddit thread (i'll share screenshot in the next tweet).
This story I find so cool because it inspires other artists to share what they got.
We all can all connect with the fear of showing our work. It ain't easy.
And to have a unique POV like Maggie. Easy to copy, harder to have something unique.
I’ve got a bunch of designs, creations that have never seen the light of day.
This video inspires me to publish more.
My point of sharing this video:
Publish your art anonymously.
Or publish your art proudly as yourself. Bonus points if it's one of a kind work.
But publish your darn art.
This is your new week's energy.
This is your 2024 energy.
Go get 'em.

Yes. And not just demoing features, but walking through actual user journeys with clear outcomes the other person can quickly grasp is clutch. Without that goal, feedback can be misleading.
Habit of some of the best founders I’ve known and worked with — they’re always demo’ing the product — to other founders, recruits, at meetups and conferences, to users and customers
On-the-ground evangelism is still incredibly effective and compounds

Worth reading and asking ourselves the hard questions.
Stop agonizing over your decisions.
Instead, follow this process:
Be Decisive
Act fast
Observe
Iterate if need be (another word for change)
Improve
Move on
Remember, it's LESSONS, not losses.
Great leaders/companies excel because they execute fast.

Best visual I’ve seen yet — as far as network protocols go. LoL
Explaining 8 Popular Network Protocols in 1 Diagram. The method to download the high-resolution PDF is available at the end.
Network protocols are standard methods of transferring data between two computers in a network.
1. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)
HTTP is a protocol for fetching resources such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol.
2. HTTP/3
HTTP/3 is the next major revision of the HTTP. It runs on QUIC, a new transport protocol designed for mobile-heavy internet usage. It relies on UDP instead of TCP, which enables faster web page responsiveness. VR applications demand more bandwidth to render intricate details of a virtual scene and will likely benefit from migrating to HTTP/3 powered by QUIC.
3. HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure)
HTTPS extends HTTP and uses encryption for secure communications.
4. WebSocket
WebSocket is a protocol that provides full-duplex communications over TCP. Clients establish WebSockets to receive real-time updates from the back-end services. Unlike REST, which always “pulls” data, WebSocket enables data to be “pushed”. Applications, like online gaming, stock trading, and messaging apps leverage WebSocket for real-time communication.
5. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
TCP is is designed to send packets across the internet and ensure the successful delivery of data and messages over networks. Many application-layer protocols build on top of TCP.
6. UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
UDP sends packets directly to a target computer, without establishing a connection first. UDP is commonly used in time-sensitive communications where occasionally dropping packets is better than waiting. Voice and video traffic are often sent using this protocol.
7. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
SMTP is a standard protocol to transfer electronic mail from one user to another.
8. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is used to transfer computer files between client and server. It has separate connections for the control channel and data channel.

How @Linear builds product:
1. No product managers, just a head of product. PM duties are distributed across engineering and design.
2. No durable cross-functional teams. Teams assemble around a project and disperse once the project is done.
3. No metrics-based goals. Just a North Star company-level metric goal.
4. No A/B tests. Decisions are based on taste and opinions.
5. Job candidates go through a paid work trial. They join the team for 1-5 days and work on a real project with the team.
6. The team is completely remote. And always has been.
Also, they have more cash in the bank than they’ve ever raised in VC funding, they’ve been profitable for 2+ years (before it was cool), and have spent a grand total of $35K on paid marketing in the history of the company. Only two people have ever left the company, and their CEO, Karri Saarinen, is a designer (who rarely gives interviews).
To get an in-depth glimpse into how Linear builds product, see link below for my interview with @karrisaarinen
