Revamped the gratuitous explosions and particle effects to the code editor I'm building
And added sound effects!
(Sound on!)

- Reminder that Google Maps only exists because of one 100-1000x engineer who rewrote all the code in one weekend
wow, Google Maps turns 20 in February. In my opinion, it's probably the greatest digital application ever. The consumer surplus associated with it is just off the charts. googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/02/mappin… - Proton is one of the greatest pieces of software of all time: >be valve, 2018, enjoy printing money from pc games on steam >realize microsoft could easily kill you by making gaming on windows a walled garden like the app store >what to do? >the greatest heist of all time:

fight at uniqlo sf this sunday 5 pm. partiful in comments - Why is no one talking about this? This is why I don't use an AI browser You can literally get prompt injected and your bank account drained by doomscrolling on reddit:
AI agents that can browse the Web and perform tasks on your behalf have incredible potential but also introduce new security risks. We recently found, and disclosed, a concerning flaw in Perplexity's Comet browser that put users' accounts and other sensitive info in danger. - Added gratuitous explosions and particle effects to the code editor I'm building

- Because AI sucks at writing systems programming code and he works on the linux kernelWhat is it about really really smart people that make them completely oblivious to how incredible AI is?
- As a programmer, the two highest ROI things I’ve learned are: - how to build compilers - how to dress well
- Who are your top 5 programmers of all time and why? Mine: 1. Fabrice Bellard (ffmpeg, tinycc, quickjs) 2. John Carmack (doom, quake) 3. John McCarthy (lisp, father of AI, invented GC, timesharing) 4. Linus (linux man) 5. Dennis Ritchie (C and unix, K&R book)
- I got fed up writing FFmpeg commands. Its unintuitive, and can get ugly and complicated quickly A couple of months ago, I built this GUI to help me write complex ffmpeg filtergraphs that we have been using internally and decided to launch today. ffmpeg.guide
- Who do you think is the most insane programmer of our current era? I think it’s Evan Wallace (cofounder of Figma): - Basically rebuilt the browser rendering stack to run in the browser for Figma - Built CRDTs to run Figma’s multiplayer tech for millions of users - Built a JS
- I didn't realize Guillermo Rauch was so cracked: - high school dropout from Argentina - gets dev job in SF at 18 - builds mongoose - builds Socket,IO - builds next.js then Vercel And for some reason I thought he wasn't a coder??
- Projects that every programmer must do once in their lifetime: - compiler/interpreter - game engine - database - mini operating system - some 3d graphics project - utf-8/16 string encoding and decoding - neural net
