This is after Indian government asked Github to remove Bitchat within three hours after notice .


Why it is important ? We have Docker for containers, right ?


interesting.


Real IDEs are built by Jetbrains.


I don't think so. As far as I understand he is talking about human engineers


I do not buy what he is saying in this article given what he’s previously tweeted about AI and what is happening right now.

What he’s really after is AI Software Engineers that are not humans. Hence the eventuality of autonomous agents out numbering humans on the internet.


What does that turn into eventually? Paperclips?


Read Austria as Australia and thought this as an April fool


There is a limit for 100 pages. Tried to upload the Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures (REST - Roy T. Fielding) but it is 180 pages.


Good to know. There are also limits to context window of file size. These errors are emerging as people use the app. I'll add them to the FAQ.

The app doesn't do any chunking of PDFs


I use gemini if i need to write something in my native language- Malayalam or translation. it works very well in writing in Indian regional languages.


I’ve been iterating on Toolbit (https://toolbit.app), a local developer utility app I initially shared a while back.

It started as a small attempt to stop bouncing between dozens of web tools for things like JSON/JWT, base64, regex testing, cron expressions, and similar “glue work” tasks. Over time it’s grown into something I keep open all day.

Since the last time I mentioned it, I’ve added quite a bit: • ~40+ tools now (regex tester, PDF merge, image conversion, cron builder, etc.) • workspaces for grouping tools around a task • tool chaining instead of constant copy/paste • snippets, history, and recent items • automatic detection (paste data, it routes you to the right tool)

It’s an Electron app and runs fully local. No accounts, no tracking, no sending data out. The goal isn’t novelty, just reducing friction in everyday dev work.

I’m still smoothing rough edges and figuring out where this is most genuinely useful. Curious how others here think about scope creep vs. “daily driver” utility tools, and what’s worked or failed for you in that space.


Let there be something useful.
