The promise of AI automating mundane tasks seems appealing but is fundamentally flawed. It may eliminate boring jobs, but it doesn't provide economic security.
I've been trying to use the #Mastodon app on Android (used to use Tusky but it was a bit unstable). Lately, tho, any attempts to post/respond/etc fail with this weird error message.
So I end up using the web UI.
What gives?
@otto42 I submitted a few options, most geeking out on things I discussed with folks in the hallway track last year.
Sent in a handful of speaker proposals for #wcus. Really stoked that I didn't miss the deadline this year :-)
I wonder what it would take for @system76 to build an ETI wire-free receiver into a laptop ...
I had Monster Insights Pro for a while. Turned it off when my license lapsed. Finally removed the plugin today.
OMG the admin side of things is 10x faster. Even disabled apparently just that one plugin was slowing down my entire server.
WTAF?
Today I wrapped a cool MCP integration for my team's API. This technology is amazing and I truly think it could change the way we interact with computers.
Have you tried #Claude yet?
Discover the power of Git's conditional includes to automatically switch between different developer identities, email addresses, and signing keys based on your project directory structure.

Matt Mullenweg on how a thought goes to idea to writing to blogs:
"Once you publish publicly, you open yourself up to the beauty and chaos of the wider world. The best reason to blog is comments, the people who find you and add to your thoughts, who you never would have imagined."

@phillycodehound My team builds system integrations and provides routing between disparate tools that speak different protocols.
Telling Claude "Use my team's system to build an integration with Slack and send a 'hello world' test message to the main channel" then ... watching it do that entirely on its own is just amazing.
@phillycodehound Model Context Protocol.
Effectively code wireup to expose APIs and SDKs to LLMs like Claude and Grok directly. This then provides end users with natural language interfaces to your app and system.
I've had the privilege of experimenting with agentic AI and MCP integrations over the past two weeks and wow.
This is going to change everything.
It's that time again. The @phptek Call For Snakes. That's right, the coveted Battle Snake Trophy is coming back the Chicago (did it ever leave?) and you could take it home: https://forms.gle/EWPVVnw4rwMHDMFb9 #phptek @phparch @playbattlesnake
