Nov 21 Seems to be a common sentiment to find out that you THOUGHT you loved programming, but what you actually love is HAVING programmed. And as much as I value artisanal code and human-crafted software, I think we're allowed to step away from this purism. https://t.co/BxJd0U3hFs 18 2 11 14k 276 .
Nov 21 I recently ran into a situation where an action I wanted to take was located under a three-dot menu, such as this one. Just didn't see it while skimming the UI. Now, I have several of those in the Podscan UI as well. I'm wondering... should this have a text label? Which one? https://t.co/YePaGV2s9g 9 0 3 2.5k 300 .

Nov 20 Itā€™s not AI slop that has turned social media into an antisocial hellscape. Itā€™s PEOPLE willingly and intentionally producing and posting AI slop that have done that. Unlike a world where AI is in control, this has been done by real humans, one AI slop post at a time. 67 2 29 5.1k 272 .

Nov 19 Sane from my perspective. If all you know is AI slop videos and spam email copy, then youā€™re missing out on the incredible heavy lifting it can do in the shadows. If youā€™ve ever seen an AI analyze podcasts, detect speakers, find sponsor segments, analyze sentiment, and do all of that in seconds for an hour-long show, at scale, tensing thousands of times a day, youā€™ll have a different opinion. Cause thatā€™s whatā€™s powering Podscanā€˜s incredibly deep insight into millions of shows. 26 0 7 7.1k 484 .

Nov 18 Getting the feeling that Gemini is really very good and will, in the short term, get a lot of people to jump ship from Codex and Claude Code. But then again, people jumped ship into these tools as well. So I assume that in a few months time, theyā€™ll catch up. 25 0 14 3.5k 259 .

Nov 17 And for some more context: models arenā€™t trained IN json, but theyā€™re trained ON json. Any significant data set related to coding and data science will contain json that, in training, will instruct models about meaning and the shape of data. Why work against that?! 5 1 3 1.3k 265 .
Nov 17 This is like using Pig Latin when talking to someone who was raised speaking English. Yes, they can respond. But they wonā€™t speak it natively. Theyā€™ll struggle and be clunky. LLMs are trained on JSON data. Some XML, too. Allow them to respond natively. No matter the tokens. 22 2 15 8.3k 279 .

Nov 17 Podscan tracks every single podcast out there. And 2025 is shaping up to be the second-largest year for podcasting. Huge pandemic boost. Then, a dip. Now, pods are picking up speed. Don't skip podcasts in your marketing & reputation strategies, as a business or a professional. https://t.co/vzw0RZcrii 89 2 19 28.7k 308 .

Nov 17 When products use āœØ for new features, it makes sense. Sparkling new. When they use āœØ for AI features, it starts to be confusing. Sparkles = magic (?) And when they use āœØ for BOTH, it becomes ridiculous. Loses all meaning. 16 1 10 5.9k 223 .
Nov 17 In some ways, "AI fixes this" provided that we establish a single AI dependency that takes care of ensuring that these deps stay secure. Almost like an AI maintainer. But that feels unreliable as of now. 3 0 2 1.3k 204 .
Nov 17 Whenever I install a dependency (via npm, composer, and the like), I try to remember that not only am I including someone else's code, but I am also now depending on that person, their organization, or a bunch of part-time nerds to maintain that code continuously for years. 32 1 8 4.2k 274 .

Nov 12 If you were not affected by the Yubikey re-enrollment situation: a LOT of security-conscious Twitter users were just locked out of their accounts because X wants to get rid of any keys bound to the https://t.co/LFXAUO81dD domain.

Nov 11 Going viral on social media always(!) has a massive downside: you inevitably invite the wrong people to the conversation.
