AI users are working longer because, for the first time, our tools can finally keep pace with our imagination.
When output is cheap, your greatest leverage isn't how much you build, but the taste to know what is worth building - and the rest required to see the difference.
easy, you made dobradinha!
ICYMI there's a new v0.4.0 of GstPipelineStudio, with a refreshed user interface with a new logo, modernized dialogs, graph zoom support, recent files menu, and improved cross-platform builds with GStreamer 1.26 and GTK 4.16.

JustHTML by @EmilStenstrom is a new Python library (no dependencies) that parses HTML according to the HTML5 specification and passes the 9,200 test html5lib-tests suite
It's 3,000 lines of code mostly written by coding agents over a couple of months https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/14/justhtml/
Excited to share my new YouTube series on Software Engineering Effectiveness!

I put together a detailed collection of useful patterns I've collected after vibe-coding 150 different single-file HTML tools over the past couple of years https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/10/html-tools/
Screenshot showing some Python code that resembles GStreamer API. It uses the GstMini library that is introduced in the linked blog post.
Check out my new blog post, I have implemented a bare-bones GStreamer-like library in Python from scratch to show how some of the GStreamer abstractions work underneath. The idea it to help you create a mental model to work with the real framework. caricio.com/learn-by-exa...
Framework? O que foi que eu perdi? Seria uma opção boa como alternativa ao MB Pro.
It’s cyclical so it seems like sticking to one doesn’t hurt. 😆
Interesting, I still find GPT-5 to be better than Sonnet 4.5! 👀
One of the new skills required to get the most out of AI-assisted coding tools - Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc - is designing agentic loops: carefully selecting tools to run in a loop to achieve a specified goal. Do this well and you can solve many coding problems with brute force
Here's my […]
GStreamer Conference 2025 details now confirmed!
Join us on Thursday and Friday 23-24 October 2025 in London, UK.
The conference will be followed by a 2-3 day hackfest.
After that it's FOMS and @demuxed.com 2025.
Hope to see you all in London!

Now we I look at some old projects, unmaintained, and I want to check it out. I look at bit in the code to understand it. Then I run Claude Code on it and say "make this compile and run, fix all compilation errors". It is magical.
eg.: github.com/rafaelcarici...
Tem várias explicações bem ruins que complicam mais do que deveria. Mas depois de várias horas e tentativas, saiu
Inverse kinematics working! 🙌

📢 New GStreamer 1.26.4 bug-fix release for our stable 1.26 series!
Includes bug fixes, playback fixes, stability improvements, memory leak fixes, and performance improvements.
Details at gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.2...
Packages for Windows, Android, macOS and iOS will follow soon.
Eu fechei meh linkedinho por agora
Revisão técnica por um engenheiro de software é essencial. Ajuda bastante, mas não tira trabalho de ninguém, só muda a forma de trabalho. Na minha opinião, isso não vai mudar nunca.
I heard StackOverflow is “dying”. But something like StackOverflow will still need to exist in the future. Maybe not in its current form, but in my opinion, some hard factual solutions directory still have a place in a world of coding dominated by LLMs.
Making MacOS apps is not simple. Xcode is not a user-friendly platform.
eg. So many hidden menu items and heavily point and click.
I'm trying to get into the habit of producing more video, so on the spur of the moment I made a 7 minute video showing how I used Claude Code to put together a simple GitHub Actions workflow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC6dmPcin2E
Restarted my server after a update. Not coming back… now I will have to spend a few hours restoring from backup
📢 New GStreamer 1.24.13 bug-fix release for our old-stable 1.24 series!
Includes bug fixes, security fixes, stability improvements, memory leak fixes, and performance improvements.
Details at gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.2...
Packages for Windows, Android, macOS and iOS will follow soon.
OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) released a coding CLI.
"
- Has top accuracy (similar to Claude Code)
- Is completely open source, MIT licensed
- Is model agnostic, use an API or bring your own
- Is simple to install and run `pip install openhands-ai` and `openhands` (no Docker!)

The WWDC announcements I'm most excited about are the new Foundation Models framework (for accessing Apple's on-device LLMs) and the Containerization framework for running Docker-style containers without hosting them all in a Linux VM - here's links to relevant docs for both of those […]
Prompt summarize Attachments image/jpeg: /var/folders/x6/31xf1vxj0nn9mxqq8z0mmcfw0000gn/T/llm_pdf_to_images_rw_qkmgz/page_001.jpg image/jpeg: /var/folders/x6/31xf1vxj0nn9mxqq8z0mmcfw0000gn/T/llm_pdf_to_images_rw_qkmgz/page_002.jpg Response This document outlines various types of political regimes and their characteristics: Democracy: A political regime where the government is accountable to the people and power is exercised directly or through representatives. It operates under guaranteed civil liberties, political equality, and periodic, competitive elections. Liberal or Representative Democracy: Features popular support and limitations on state power, with a functioning constitution, competitive elections, rule of law, and protections for civil liberties. It requires institutions like legislatures, courts, and political parties. Illiberal Democracy: Elections occur, but civil liberties and political rights are often limited, with the possibility of electoral processes manipulated by elites or authoritarian tendencies. Authoritarianism/Dictatorship: Characterized by the concentration of power in one or a few leaders, limited political pluralism, lack of democratic elections, and restricted civil liberties.
I built a new LLM plugin that can turn a PDF into an image-per-page for feeding into vision models, and in testing it found that GPT-4.1 mini hallucinates WILDLY if you feed it a blank white rectangle followed by a blank black rectangle https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/18/llm-pdf-to-images/
I don’t know if anyone else already suggested that. But it would be super useful to be able to select which pages of the pdf to convert to images, or page range.
Now, codex makes a lot of sense. It’s basically an evolution of what I just mentioned 😆
Google and Anthropic, your turn..
Then re-input the output from one LLM to another for review.
When I get to my computer I usually have a very decent start point or a workable solution fully implemented. This is a new era of programming, no doubt.
I used to write notes on my phone for ideas I had on the go. Some parser for some specific format, or a script for something else. Lately, I write what I have in mind as a prompt to Claude Sonnet or Gemini 2.5 Pro. Review on my phone, then refine.
