Orgs in Remotes can become quite noisy, and before you could've "lost" important context or messages, even if someone tagged you and a message needed your attention.
Well, hopefully not anymore. I've added a "Mentions" (that bell in your Remotes). It collects every instance…

We support reposting, I just did it. We call it Quotes. Having to put actual thoughts into "reposts" is intentional, we don't want pure "blind" reposts. Interactions are for interacting, interacting needs something added.
"Pure" reposts were proposed a couple times, but 1) it was…
The question: what if the /dev/null support reposting. cc: @nunomaduro
Should we have a minimum acceptable number of characters on commits? I am seeing a lot of quotes with just a period. I guess you want us to interact with the original commit but a period?
Great stuff, reposting without a comment seems a bit boring imo. If you like something, just give it a star

Alright guys, realtime is live on /dev/null, things are looking pretty good so far.
Previously we were doing a bunch of polling blindly. No more.
The new flow is quite simple:
- Something changes -> Reverb tells your browser -> browser fetches data -> UI updates
This way we're…

Hey guys! Glad to see you, welcome to /dev/null!
Hello /dev/null! The Doctrine core team is gathering at the @mollie office for their annual hackathon.

In case you want to use Slack as a cache for your Slack app: https://github.com/that-guy-wade/slackcache
In case you wanna make slack apps in php.

@nunomaduro quietly made the entire site's navigation feel near instant btw, did you notice it?
it's the new prefetching he added today I think
the page starts loading when your mouse moves over a tab - crazy idea 🔥
No, I’m on mobile where it’s already fast. That said, this was a needed improvement on web.
This is what /dev/null is about
/dev/null a week later: found friends, made jokes, shared geek stuff. LGTM.
Morning nullers!
Don't forget to check out my new RFC and share your thoughts!
https://github.com/dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh/issues/1363
GitHub[RFC] Gists · Issue #1363 · dev-null-sh/dev-null.shWe're proposing gists: long-form posts on /dev/null, written by developers and organizations. They build on organization commits (#938), so we'll only start work once that stack has shipped. Why? L...
wouldn't be better "discoverability" to be able to create gists (not a timeline for them), but after you can post them here?
i really would love to avoid another timeline just for gists

read it, love that it stays inside the log through a commit 🔥 one idea since everyone signs in with github: paste a gist.github.com link and offer to import it, people will try that on day one anyway 😅

🙏🏻 any idea is welcome!
Will open the code tonight I hope with the first release.
If you are already a good engineer, you get a massive advantage by utilizing an LLM that can hammer out code at the speed of light.
You still have to know what you're (or rather your agent) doing - if you don't, you're just shipping unmaintainable, insecure stuff that endangers…
We can build in minutes what once took hours.
But here's the real question: Are we becoming better engineers, or just better at prompting AI? 🤖
Let's hear your honest opinions.
And how do we own what is built!? In the sense of understanding what/where/how
Turns out, the good standard of code organization, styles are first class decisions for this?
The problem is that in order to maintain your level of mastery and to become a better engineer, you need to practice wading into the details and thinking about the sharp edges. An AI likes to obscure those things.
