    It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment!

    "The pace, and the expectations that came with it, felt almost as jarring [in China] compared with America as America's pace does compared with Europe. Everyone was just on it, all the time."

    It was a joy to connect with the @alibaba_cloud team in Hangzhou. Their hospitality was next level, and we're going to work together on making the Omarchy China version perfect. No VPN necessary, all the major Chinese apps preinstalled, dedicated ISO. It's going to be great!

    Omarchy on that wild Huawei Mate Fold! I just got it hooked up yesterday as just an external display for a laptop. The 18" screen is glorious. Love to see this! Hopefully we can get a full install possible soon too.

    I’ve managed to get it running in the Oseasy VM on an MateBook Fold, though it’s still in the early stages.

    China has a Programmers' Day? No wonder they're thriving. The focus on engineering there is unbelievable. So many of the top companies are run by engineers. That's also why they're getting it with both AI and Omarchy so quickly. The West could do with fewer MBAs at the top!

    Today is 10/24, Programmers' Day in China (1024 = 2¹⁰) 🎉 So I donated $1,024 to Omacom to support Omarchy. Fun fact: some countries celebrate on the 256th day of the year, and Omarchy's patron tier is literally "256B". Perfect fit, and I'm near the top of the list 😄 In the agent era, maybe it's Makers' Day: anyone who builds real things with code and AI, not just people who write code. Omarchy powers makers 🛠️ @dhh 今天 10.24 中国程序员节,给 Omacom 捐了 1024 美金支持 Omarchy。冷知识:有些国家的程序员节是一年中的第 256 天,而 Omarchy 的赞助档刚好叫「256B」,严丝合缝,我还排在前面 😄 新时代,程序员节也许该叫 Maker 节了:maker 不只是写代码的人,而是用代码和 AI 把想法真正做出来的人。Omarchy powers makers 🛠️ #OmarchyPowersMakers #AllYouNeedIsLove

    Completely agree. Bug reports by humans are terrible on average. Bug reports by agents are excellent on average. Let the clankers file!

    I wish there was a way to *require* all bug reports to go through AI first. Some of you are not making it easy to fix those bugs. 🙃

    If you hang out with happy, optimistic, and ambitious people, it'll rub off too. That's why pruning your social media algorithms is so key. Don't psyop yourself into a depressive hole.

    The good news is that the bulk of the work was already done by bsky and mastodon! Honey-potting the most miserable people. Just being on X is perhaps the single most effective pruning technique.

    Entirely true. It's the second-rate programmers that are having trouble adapting to AI, and screaming about it. The A-list guys are delighted. Listen to Linus Torvalds. Or DHH. Or, a little outside my usual community, Uncle Bob Martin. We can get so much more done now!

    If this is the excuse Brussels need to turn the ship around, I personally don't much care. It's hard to do a 180 on failed policies. Maybe they can also blame anti-nuclear sentiments on the KGB and GDPR bureaucraziness on CIA while at it? Let's just clear the whole plate.

    🇪🇺🇷🇺 Ursula von der Leyen says RUSSIA IS USING MASS MIGRATION as a weapon against EUROPE The EU chief accuses Russia of deliberately pushing migrants toward European borders to overwhelm authorities, spread fear and divide the continent. She now wants new emergency powers to deal with these situations. Brussels has SPENT YEARS defending migration and asylum as part of Europe's values. Now it's warning that hostile governments can exploit those same systems to destabilize Europe. Completely ridiculous. And pretty revealing who is actually behind it all... Writer: Oliver

    Perfect fit for an agent-native OS like Omarchy. If you haven't switched already, just go Install > Service > 1Password.
    1Password @1Password
    Today we announce 1Password for Agents platform, building with companies @Muse, SpaceX Super Intelligence Grok @Bot, @AnthropicAI’s @Claudeai, @OpenAI, @TownAI, @Browserbase, @Browser_use, @heydana_ai, Instinct, @usekernel, @Perplexity_ai, @tryramp, @Tomo, and @wajo_ai, with more integrations on the way. 🎉 We've heard from so many of our customers who want to use these new personal AI agents to help them get more done, but want more control over what the agent can access with the same trust and ease of use they get when using 1Password directly. 1Password for Agents gives your agents access without giving up your passwords. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it requests a credential from your vault. If you approve the request, 1Password directly auto-fills the credential in the destination site so the agent can’t see or take possession of the credentials. The agent gets the task done, but it doesn’t get your passwords.. You stay in control. 1Password for Agents free and optional for personal and family accounts. Unless you opt-in to an agent connector, agents cannot touch your vault. ➡️Learn more:

    You must learn to reverse the polarity of the negative energy your best ideas will inevitably generate and turn it into positive, forward momentum.
    David Senra @davidsenra
    I love this idea from @dhh: All the best ideas that actually turn out to have an impact sound stupid at first. “You've got to have a high tolerance for people telling you: -What you're building is stupid. -What you're building is ugly. -What you're building is never going to work. When I get that feedback, I know I'm onto something. I’ve found that’s often true about products. You enter some domain and you think: "Who's the best? Can I just copy them?I'll do a slight tweak." That's not gonna work. All the best ideas that actually turn out to have an impact sound stupid at first. They're not intuitive. That's where all the value has been locked up. It's locked up in this misconception about what people actually want, because most people don't know what they want.”

    I've been blown away by the energy, optimism, and hard work that has created the China I've seen on this trip. It had been seven years since I was last here, and it might as well have been forty. Invigorating to see what's possible. The West has no excuse for its managed decline.

    It would behove all Western politicians and entrepreneurs to spend at least a week here. Simply to soak in the ambition and to truly internalize the magnitude of the competition. I'd put the best brains in Europe and America up against anyone, but they have to be set free.
