The culture is already forming on its own. We see new examples popping up everyday. What's missing is the ecosystem to support it β the remixing, the community, the low-friction hosting.

Hyper-local software: Apps built for an audience of one person, one team, or one community. Too specific to survive as a SaaS product, but genuinely useful to the people who build them.
SaaS solves problems for millions of users, but doesn't fitting any one of them well. Agentic coding changes the equation. It's faster to build what you need than use a tool that mostly works.
"SaaS is dead" misses the point.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

It's kinda hilarious when Claude's plan for my project goes out for 9 days! Does Claude think I'm the one coding this?
Me, watching my free $50 credit for Claude quickly disappear

TFW you've been watching some observability dashboards and notice auto-refresh got turned off
JFC Oklahoma you fuckin cowards. Now every Jesus-freak right-wing student who can't get a passing grade for a bunch of bible quotes masquerading as an essay is going to file a 1st amendment complaint. You gonna suspend the whole Biology department for teaching about evolution? (Don't answer that)
We obviously need some stronger regulations on environmental impact of data centers. But with this administration?
Has anyone merged reactive notebooks like Marimo with conversational agents yet? I mean, can I ask some questions about data and the agent fetches the data and displays the results. I can then interactive with either the data or the results.
That might be neat
amusing too π«
"we're Chrome in a trenchcoat" β this
"however it does give them an escape route if something can replace Chrome." β I would not hold my breath. It's kinda assuming to realize that making a web browser is possibly harder than an LLM? π

Random weird thing: Apple Pay is only a direct payment option in Starbucks app without an account. When you create your account the option disappears... and the experience gets worse.
I deleted the account
I can't imagine AOL employees are happy about this outcome
Hard to imagine how the government being shut down could be much worse than the government weβve had over the past 9 months.
Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.
π "the US experience is peculiar. Young Euro area workers have record low unemployment. In the UK, the young personsβ unemployment rate has fallen steadily. Employment by young Japanese workers is near all-time highs. It seems implausible that AI uniquely hurts the prospects of younger US workers."
Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota werenβt a watershed moment of political violence, huh?
enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits
Yes! Although I didn't write it, I spent enough time in the code to appreciate it and notice when other products don't have it
I'm concerned that my first thought was:
Does @siracusa.social know about this?
Miss you too, but now we've found each other again!
