We need laws for AI companies. 1. Subscriptions must clearly say what we're paying for, and the limits shouldn't magically change. If you advertise 20x usage, you can't hide in small letters that it's 20x for the 5-hour limit but NOT the weekly limit. 2. Once a model is released and benchmarked, those benchmarks should be continuously verified. You shouldn't be able to release the "best model", slowly make it worse over time, then release the next "best model" and push everyone toward it. We need transparency.

PSA work on things exciting enough that you can say yo and people won't give a shit
boomer PSA to Gen Z: if you’re cold calling me for a job, please do not start your message “yo” this is a serious business, with serious people and money, and if we are not familiar with one another, based on that I am not going to hire you to represent the work we do

If you use any of the following with your Claude sub, your usage must got cut by 25x: - T3 Code - Conductor - zed - jean - “Claude -p” in your ci - scripts to call Claude code from other tools They’re disguising this as “free credits”. Don’t fall for it.
Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage. The credit covers usage of: - Claude Agent SDK - claude -p - Claude Code GitHub Actions - Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK

i keep seeing simplicity slop everyone knows simplicity is an important goal but it is the hardest thing to do right what most people do is just slap together things, end result is hacky and brittle, but they can pat themselves on the back for it being simple

Are you wasting your time shipping TRASH features? We all love shipping, it's great, it's fun and it gives us a fuzzy feeling inside. But are you studying: • what people use • how they use it • where they drop off • what creates retention Or are you just shipping and hoping for the best? I've had to force myself to stop shipping huge features Now I: • track key actions • study usage patterns • tweak flows weekly • improve what already gets value It's boring and it's hard, but it's absolutely necessary. This is how you make something people actually love.

Turso now includes unlimited active databases in every plan. We already had unlimited databases, but we would charge you based on how many of them were active. That is now gone. You want a database, you get a database.

Today, @editframe emerges from stealth. Agents need video. Editframe Agent Skills: npm create @editframe@latest Just prompt Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and get a working video or a full interactive GUI. This video was created just by prompting 👇

Today we released the new version of our AI. It is the best AI for every purpose and we are also very responsible. Give us more money now. Here are some charts showing this AI is exactly the same as the previous one, except we juiced the benchmarks by epsilon:

Hello @X Could you connect me to a bunch of indie hackers? Also, solo founders, public builders, script writers, product owners, marketers, software developers, AI enjoyers, and designers would be great. I’m building in public, learning everyday, and enjoying the tech scene

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep. Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
Replying to @npmjs
@npmjs @GHSecurityLab there is an active supply chain attack on [email protected] which pulls in a malicious package published today - [email protected] - someone took over a maintainer account for Axios

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
