It took 20 years for computers to "add" to the economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox

I think one of the interesting things here is that AI doesn't need to be able build B2B SaaS to kill it. So much of the overhead of B2B SaaS companies is thinking about multitenanc…

Regarding the meta experiment of using LLMs to transpile to a different language, how did you feel about the outcome / process, and would you do the same process again in the futur…

Once we had a slowdown in our application that went unadressed for a couple of months. Using git bisect to binary search across a bunch of different commits and run a perf test, ev…

I’ve been using some time off to explore the space and related projects StereoCrafter and GeometryCrafter are fascinating. Applying this to video adds a temporal consistency angle …

Looks like after the AI automation rush last year, the leaderboard has been removed. Makes sense, a little sad that it was needed though.

I've released a templatized local development setup using devcontainers that I've crafted over the last year, that I use on all projects now. This post explains the why and links t…

It's potentially the opposite. If you instrument a codebase with documentation and configuration for AI agents to work well in it, then in a year, that agent will be able to do tha…

They're not directly solving the same problem. MCP is for exposing tools, such as reading files. a2a is for agents to talk to other agents to collaborate. MCP servers can expose to…

Perhaps naive to say, but I think there was the briefest moment where your status updates started with "is", feeds were chronological, and photos and links weren't pushed over text…

After converting many of my projects, and helping a couple startups tool their codebases and teams for using AI agents better, these 5 things are what I now do on every codebase I …

What do you think the "mistake" is here? It seems like you're pointing out a consequence, not a counter argument.

I'd think this would work, as the 4 tools listed are about retrieving information to give agents more context of correct providers and modules. Given terragrunt works with terrafor…

Aider is definitely in the same camp. Last time I checked, they weren't optimizing for the full "agent infinitely looping until completion" usecase, and didn't have MCP support. Bu…

It totally is! I bias a bit to wanting the agent to be a pluggable component into a flow I own, rather than a platform in a box. It'll be interesting to see where the different val…

I personally find figuring out what the product should be is the fun part. There still a need for architecting a plan, but the actual act of writing code isn't what gives me person…

Claude max plan has Claude code bundled into the price. $100/month isn't cheap, but the RoI is there for me personally.

The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy. I've been using Claude code since the initial public preview r…

That's the point of the experiment I'm doing, what it takes to get these things to be able to generate all the code, and I'm just directing. I literally have not written a line of …

I wonder how much it's self fulfilling, where the developers of the agents are tuning their prompts / tool calls to sonnet.

I'm about 50kloc into a project making a react native app / golang backend for recipes with grocery lists, collaborative editing, household sharing, so a complex data model and run…

It's always been a thing with modes of encapsulating knowledge. The printing press caused the freezing of language, sometimes in a weird place* Where great documentation was make o…
