To me, English punctuation seems chaotic compared to Bulgarian, which could be hard but logical. English spelling is better than, let's say, Greek or French. As a developer, I'm surprised people write either "Hello world!&quo

English is so much easier than, let's say, Greek, Russian, or French (at least these I know firsthand). Even Bulgarian, my native language, which is simpler than Russian, is much harder than English, with a lot more things to memorize.

Yeah, I'm focusing on OpenAI as they are way more sane than Anthropic! I thought Sam Altman was crazy, but Dario is Sam Altman squared! Codex is so much nicer to use, too! A fun fact - everything that I do with Claude Code is getting r

A virus I wrote in the '90s did just that - every time you opened a file, it damaged a small random part of it. My plan was also to randomly change the digits of numbers when printed on paper. I wrote this because a friend of mine mana

People are lazy, and when there are no standards (or when they are not followed strictly), it's no small challenge to build a generic interface that works with multiple providers transparently and interchangeably. Many moons ago, we bu

Oh, I told my son to create an org yesterday with Cursor Origin, just in case in 10 years it becomes a thing, and he said: "Oops! Paid customers only!" A GitHub "alternative," really? Well, this is reminding me to cancel

I use Claude with the Codex plugin as a critic (sometimes I switch and manually review with Claude). With the Superpowers skill (which I am trying to get rid of), it designs expensive models and implementations, uses cheaper ones for other,

I am just too old, you know. I remember Bitbucket, GitLab, and the plethora of other GitHub killers. GitHub is an ecosystem, not a product. Cursor needs at least a decade to beat that! Maybe more!

There's nothing Cursor can do that GitHub/Microsoft can't in 2026... And vice versa... after several years of Cursor vibecoding a GitHub clone while catching up with GitHub's new features. Git's performance it'

Well, this is not even an MVP. I couldn't get my GitHub org name, so I'm not interested in your vibe-coded clone. You don't get the value of identity! When you release stuff like this, you can't leave it to be driven by

It's sad that almost no migration framework supports DuckDB, and overall support is highly limited, but it's a great product I've been using daily for 6 months without encountering a single issue. I hope v2 brings DuckDB more

Yes, of course. You think I'm subsidizing the renewals without a return on my investment? My prices are low compared to the 3 popular appraising services. I won't consider GoDaddy, as I've always been able to sell my domains

For example, Meta does. When they started offering reserved usernames on Facebook, they gave advance notice and gave everybody an equal start. With WhatsApp usernames, they also allowed you to pick your Instagram username or your Facebook u

What a stupid move! So, you have a Workers subdomain, a Zero Trust subdomain, and now a Wallet subdomain - one company with random handles! Cloudflare does not get identity!

All the UK media went bonkers after the war in Ukraine. Daily Mail, Express, and even the BBC are full of madness! The Flamingo is barely Ukrainian and barely moving the needle! Plus, Russia destroyed its assembly factory.
