Founder/CEO @Ghost — Geographically restless.
Another year, and several milestones all at once. 12 years since @Ghost launched on Kickstarter, now at $8M ARR, and powering almost $100M in revenue for independent publishers 📈 A few thoughts and reflections on building an open source publishing platform, for a long time.…

Trend in replies to this yest. was some version of "I start with o3 and then tell Claude to do better than ChatGPT did!" I think interesting human tendency to anthropomorphize LLMs with the notion of rivalry. The idea that an LLM is more incentivised to improve a plan in an…
I find that Claude Code planning mode is only useful for really small tasks - for larger tasks what's working better for me: Ask Claude to make a plan in a markdown file -- then promptly take that Claude out back and shoot it (ctrl+c) Spin up a new Claude and tell it: "a…

Feel like we need a repo with consistent set of coding tasks for claude: easy/medium/hard/insane - and have a Github action that runs weekly to get a PR for them, so there's some historical trace to validate "is opus nerfed? or am I?" Anyone done something like this?
I didn't expect to be saying this but I built a thing with Next.js last night and it was easy and I really enjoyed it
just installed a raycast extension for searching domain names and this is probably the most dangerous thing I've had on my computer in a while
Everyone tweeting this is failing to quote the 2nd tweet where it says the whole trial was based on Claude 3.5. In other news: People studied using iPhone 2G were found to have very slow web browsing capabilities.
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
Never seen so many people be so wrong
How is read receipts pronounced?
This is the content I'm here for
Today I had an issue with one of my servers. SSH'd in, npm install claude code. It found and fixed the error in minutes. Not sure if this was genius or incredibly stupid?
with a little help from Claude - you, too, can achieve galaxy brain github actions that cut test times in half I have no idea how any of this is working, don't @ me

Support open source, get access to cool shit. Nobrainer 💰
Finally launched a sponsorship program for Tailwind CSS, with a bunch of cool perks ✨ 💬 Private Discord community to connect with the team 🤖 Cursor/Claude rules for generating better Tailwind output 🎨 Beautiful custom VS Code themes 🔍 Raycast extension with lots of little…
it’s funny because it applies to both physics and desktop applications
what are the most valuable MCPs for local development workflows, other than Playwright (which is magical) and Context7 ?
never forget
Oh my god @businessinsider is trying to do a surge pricing model. On a website. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahaha
