die Kommunikation (Firma u. Medien) Gestaltung ist das Problem. Es fördert wirtschaftliches fomo u. konkurrenzfähigen Gedanken und gesellschaftliche Unsicherheit. Die echte positive, innovative Geschichten und verwendungs Potenzialen werden selten berichte.

Are tech media influencers validly whining about Anthropic or is it just sad rage bait? I understand the updated TOS, enforcement, and 3rd party tool use pricing…I just thought the generous subsidies would eventually end and membership tiers would be limited to their products

When I occasionally look at SWE job opportunities in Germany, I get sad how seemingly 95% involves PHP or Java 😒

Reach, positioning, and editorial influence for a daily 4-hour “Larry King live” interview show where guests get an unconditional PR stage. Ain’t much diff from a16z buying Turpentine

I find it hilarious OpenAI bought the “tech bro PR net” TBPN. Reminds me of a16z buying Turpentine podcast net, a few years after shuttering a16z future.com
It’s always about buying reach to influence editorial + ad impressions

Last day of NYC vacation before flying home

One thing that I watch out for now is when apps or commands offer help to install plugins/etc, is WHERE it's actually done. Bc right now, it feels like a 'npm install -g' moment and I'm waiting around with a fly swatter

I considered adding beads, but that seems more appropriate at a project-level if doing long term iterative development

At the User level, I now only have the following:
claude-mem (or mem0 for other agents), context-mode (process output saved outside chat), context7 (multidocs search + retrieval), and superpowers

Asking the agent to analyze each skill, plugin, mcp has been enlightening to understand how much is being plugged into the context window and how often (system vs. each turn).

This week I've been learning where agent skills/plugins are installed, optimizing them, and reverse-engineering an image annotation skill from screenshots + descriptions with nano banana pro (very cool!). Now doing various remotion + agent tuts, optimizing github.com/remotion-dev...

I just heard about "autoresearch" by @karpathy; here's a plausible notebooklm summary gist.github.com/mvellandi/84...

Big Audience Engagement Map by Mario Vellandi

I researched 84 different tactics and examples for brands to engage with people in the following categories:

Market Validation
Official Comms

Innovation
Operational Transparency

In an age of endless media, I‘ve increasingly admired great interviewers whether it be Conan O’Brian, Ira Glass, or broadcast news journalists.

It's great, but a tough read at times! I stopped halfway through waiting for a 2nd edition

It’s a bit cringe when I think of tech YouTubers who mix drama farming, sensationalism, rage baiting, mixed with occasional great insights. From the Economist style guide:

cant.stop.laughing

Bingo

shit, cool, now I do. There's just so much going on, plus these damn mega co's are competing on various weekly announcements it's hard keeping up with the actual meaningful

The GitLab Handbook GitLab's Handbook is a public guide that documents nearly every aspect of how the company operates offering a blueprint for remote work and ways of working.

This is like organizational culture, information architecture, and documentation had a baby: handbook.gitlab.com

Frameworks don't matter anymore... YouTube video by Awesome

Yeah, isomorphic JS apps without rsc mental overhead is better. I dig TanStack youtu.be/wkXvv0iJffg?...

At that scale it totally makes sense to get inference capacity for full-featured open models

Coolify rocks! I started using it on hetzner in October and never looked back

The core of swe balances technical, economic, and ethical forces—a human-centric task that AI currently can't do. Those who master systems theory & high-level complexity mgmt are poised to thrive, as industry shifts focus from "plumbing" & raw code gen to orchestrating complex, large-scale systems

I hear great things about their a/v segmentation and multilingual translation models

I miss the band 311. their sound was fun and only slightly melancholc, “drugstore cowgirli“ aside

Whoah, that's a coffee 'upside-down' world I happily would enter with biscotti

Learned a little Pulumi infra-as-code today. Neat and high level

I’m at an infra conference and a speaker expressed serious concern about a future inability to hire juniors, as ai-related automation will already reduce mid-level workforce
