Thanks for this! We have clear answers for things that are 100% and 0% automated, but it’s always that 80%-99% automated slice where the frontier is, great idea.

Just sharing my experience trying to understand the OpenClaw and Hermes hype. Hermes in particular is a very well-built system, very easy to have fun with, but I had hard time impr…

I don't think the "craftsman" self-identification is going to work for software engineers anymore. The tool capabilities are too dynamic, you have to be some sort of opportunistic …

I love this! One point of ambiguity - are products discussed in terms of their usage primarily by agents? For example, let's take one of those GUIs that makes Claude look cute or l…

Specialization! Niches! Find a niche and serve it at a level of quality ~10 to ~100x higher than it was previously served, because it's now possible to bring that level of "effort"…

Agggh! My eyesssss!!! Thanks for creating the issue and posting a screenshot, we will 100% have to fix it! https://github.com/diffplug/gitcasso/issues/112

I am sincerely curious what Andreesen and Horowitz believe at the moment.

This looks incredible! How does language support work? (I'm curious about Kotlin in particular)

I think people are sleeping on Meta's compounding advantage in VR/AR. The Quest 3 is 15 months old, and it's wild how much it has improved over that time purely due to software and…

In the sizzle reel, the early waterdrop demos are beautiful but seem staged, the later robotics demos look more plausible and very impressive. But referring to all these "4D dynami…
