Interesting how the 👍 emoji went from meaning “I like it!” to “Whatever…”

Meta is adding weird AI buttons to all of their social products, instead of building something obviously useful: the ability to summarize a conversation.

ChatGPT 5, allowing me to get a quick answer or wait for a better one

This is an incomprehensible UX decision. Imagine interacting with a human like this.

#ChatGPT

4. Shortly after, I get a pull request in the GitHub mobile app.
5. I preview the change on a Vercel page.
6. I approve the pull request and the change goes live.

I know the time window where I’m needed at all is limited, but still very cool!

Me vibe coding an app at a cafe

I know it doesn’t look like it, but I’m building an app *right now*.

#AIcoding #VibeCoding

1. I’m relaxing at Café Vólta.
2. I send a Slack message to @Cursor.
3. Cursor spins up a background agent.

I’m followed by two bluesky accounts called Gabby Whittman and Gabby Wilde

Are BlueSky forcing the poor bot developers to name their creations “Gabby W”?

Vibe coding has opened up iPhone (Swift) development for me. This is one day of coding: a 4-player, one-device game.

It’s so confusing with the Remix to React Router v7 migration.
So now I should use “React Router v7 Framework Mode” for new apps? This is purely a branding issue, I preferred “Remix”.

How to Vibe Code a Feature or a Complete App – Tom Söderlund My recipes of carefully written prompts for ChatGPT + Cursor to take a vague app idea to a complete working application.

Here are my prompts for ChatGPT + Cursor for:

1. Building a new feature in an existing app.
2. Building a complete app from scratch.

AI has already proven it can write code. | Tom Söderlund AI has already proven it can write code. Now it’s coming for the Product Owner. The next frontier is planning *what* to build. And herein lies a challenge: AI models are still struggling with *context*, their “short-term memory” is not very big. (This might be solved for good with #GPT5 if the rumors are true…) So for now, context management, or #ContextEngineering if you so will, is important. The winning work planning tools have to deal with this. There are also specialized tools for dev work planning (e.g. #TaskmasterAI as recommended by Peter Alvarsson) or PM-oriented solutions like airfocus by Lucid. I’m currently mainly using a recipe of carefully written prompts for ChatGPT + Cursor to take a vague app idea to a complete working application. Comment “SHARE!” and I’ll drop my recipe. #AIcoding

OECD report: “Investing in Climate for Growth and Development”

This should be getting more attention:

🌍 An OECD report (from last week) shows that stronger climate plans lead to real economic growth (and social benefits).

OpenAI's GPT-4.5 is the first AI model to pass the original Turing test | Live Science GPT-4.5 has successfully convinced people it’s human 73% of the time in an authentic configuration of the original Turing test.

Did I just miss this or why wasn’t there a bigger news splash that AI passed the #TuringTest?

Some work days I feel like an AI wrapper

Reopening an old #Minecraft world me & kids haven’t touched in six years. We pretend to be archeologists as we discover old settlements we built and old tools left behind.

Anyone else noticing that ChatGPT is replacing their note-taking app (mine: iA Writer)?

Especially since they introduced projects (which I use like folders).

iOS simulator app

Is it only me that sees a phone with a band-aid? Ok cool.
