Stop Making TUIs
Stop Making TUIs Thomas Ptacek advocates for building real native user interfaces for even the smallest of personal tools, because coding agents have reduced the cost of getting a usable-enough GUI up and running to almost nothing. I wrote about my vibe-coded bandwidth and GPU monitoring macOS task bar apps back in March, and I'm still using both of those on a daily basis. I'm not habitually knocking out real UIs for my other projects yet, but I'm running out of excuses! Thomas: If you haven’t tried your hand at turning one of your 500 throwaway CLIs into a native app, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Go build a native UI. It’ll probably change the way you think.

Watch on YouTubeELI5: - One organic spray (called BT) is made from friendly bacteria. It’s genuinely safe — like a gentle helper that only hurts the bad bugs. ✅ - But another organic spray is copper (yes, the metal). It’s allowed because it’s “natural.” Problem: it never goes away. It just sits in the dirt forever and forever, like glitter you can’t clean up. Too much hurts fish and worms. Europe is trying hard to use less of it. - Some plant sprays are okay in organic. Almost the same man-made versions are banned — even if the man-made ones are sometimes gentler and smarter. One natural spray (rotenone) used to be popular… until they discovered it was actually pretty bad and banned it. - Rules say “only spray if you really, really need to.” But on big fruit farms, they often just spray on a calendar anyway. https://x.com/i/grok/share/71d8224e6aa9437fb116369f9ea419b1
@thetomlimb @levelsio @jvivas_official hi, my entire family farms and ranches. let me help clear up some misinformation here bt is a great example and yeah its genuinely safe. but the list isnt sorted by toxicology but provenance copper fungicide is organic approved, never degrades, accumulates in soil forever, and

View quoted postRT Viv launching another update to this skill soon - open holy grail question if anyone wants to riff! what goes in “How-to-make-tasks-harder[.]md”? some options in a list below👇 part of making a good eval is making sure it captures the real world. another part is making the actual task hard so there’s something to hill climb one way to calibrate “hard” is running a weaker model and smarter model, if everything passes all the time that’s not great -> perfect pass @ k isn’t a good learning signal a list of things that can make tasks harder, would love to compile more and hear other strategies - add more data (not super bullish on this as models are great brute forcers) - add information that needs to be discovered by search (ex: look across multiple tables to find missing information) - completeness (add many cases that all need to be passed, this works well. it can incentivize bad behavior though like over checking) - cross-domain tasks that combine 2 abilities. this is the best imo, agents are not good at this but it can look artificial and toyish humans are still useful here but would love to chat on thoughts
If you net worth is determined by your coffee habits. You have bigger problems.
I'm a fan of buying coffee every once in a while, but this is a great visualization showing you how much that everyday habit (replace coffee with lunch, etc) is actually costing you over 20 years.

@wesbos @levelsio overpriced but the newest generation is much better than the previous generation- have had both. If you wanna talk her out of it maybe offer to separate concerns. Get a $700 tv and an inkposter for photos/art. https://inkposter.com/products/inkposter-affresco-31-5?variant=45075938771139

After I released version 1.0, I figured I would have to do the rotations myself. So I sat down with ChatGPT and I didn’t get it to write the code, but I got it to educate me. With a patient, interactive tutor, I was able to finally do what I hadn’t by reading books and asking mathematician friends – I learnt how to use quaternions just enough to make the app work. So learning doesn’t stop just because I outsource a bunch of thinking to AI. It pushes me to learn more. I like that as an outcome. — Matt Webb, Galactic Compass 2: now with new augmented reality mode Tags: matt-webb, generative-ai, chatgpt, education, ai, llms
it was a blast covering Build Fest this year - they didnt know this but I learned to code with MongoDB over 10 years ago (shoutout MERN stack) and now in the AI Engineering era seeing SF builders rediscover MDB was so gratifying - this was a *huge* step up from last year!
