Democracy dies in oligarchy.

- Някой по-запознат може ли да сподели теории какво се случва зад кулисите? Защото този параван с видеата от козметичните салони определено напомня на нещо, за което писах миналата година. С две думи, докато тарашат това и ония студио, какво ни спестяват новините? preslav.me/bg/2025/06/2...

- Here is your Claude Code pro tip for today. When in doubt, ask it to offer you options to choose from. This works great, because CC won't dive straight into implementing something you may not want. #claudecode #llm

- Hot take: immutability in #programming is overrated. It's a constraint made for humans. A beautiful lie we tell ourselves. Under the hood, every single memory bit is flippable, CPU registers can be overwritten, files wiped away, etc. So, just embrace this beautiful mess, and write tons of tests.
- Reposted by Preslav RachevI'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

- I’ve somehow missed how in the past couple of days, what seems to be an instance of a heavily insecure cron running Claude Code requests, became the most overhyped thing on the Internet. Did I say full of security loopholes? Yes I did. #clawdbot

- One of my recent collaborations with Claude Code - a tool that will inspect any #golang project, and produce a meaningful graph of the relationships between its packages and types. It can output a PlantUML diagram, or an interactive D3 graph. github.com/preslavrache...

- The other day, I passed by this place for what seems would be the last time in a long while. As we move away from Germany, I don’t know when I’ll see Munich again. So, I used the moment to catch a glimpse of a train in the last moment. #photography #shotoniphone
