One big advantage GitHub had was that it was an easy place to find contributors. But now you don't really want a lot of driveby contributors. This makes GitHub alternatives a lot more viable.
The network effect is dying.

"Everyone's a scammer" is one of the most useful mental models. If you accept and internalize this, people cannot disappoint you.

My parents have never been able to figure out any of the freedom tech tools I’ve made, but we moved the family group chat to Pika yesterday and they love it.
Momma’s got an NSEC!
Who among you has done the most experimentation with local AI models?
Vibecoding diary #1
I'm trying to have codex completely fix the quality of encrypted audio and video calls in Pika overnight.
We have written these 4 plans:
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-audio-plan.md
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-native-audio-plan.md
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-transport-plan.md
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-video-plan.md
I'm having an orchestrator agent launch
- 1 implementer agent that will implement each step in the plan
- 2 reviewers - codex with codex 5.3 xhigh and claude code with 4.6 xhigh - that review review each step of the plan after the implementer is done
Implementation does proceed to the next step until both reviewers sign off. When first plan is done it moves to the 2nd plan. If orchestration agent stalls a daemon process will restart it.
Failure is not an option.
Pray for me.
Observation: I can't doomscroll X for more than 5 minutes anymore. My feed is too intense. But I don't have that problem over here.
One thing that's been really fun about working with HRF's AI program is watching many people attempt to vibecode. Some people *really* take to it, others don't. It's often surprising who falls into which bucket.
Don't tell him I said this, but I think Parker Lewis almost sees the light on Nostr 🤫
If there is something you always wanted to do in life, now would be a good time to do it
My friend just one-shotted iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, and Linux apps with Rust Multiplatform.
If you're thinking about using React Native or Flutter for a new app, please reach out. I think we've made something that's much better.
You write the core once in Rust, test it in Rust, and then write stateless rendering with native UI toolkits with reactive rendering based on Rust state. This was always the dream and now it's easy.
Will publish docs and guides in next week.
