Yep, but the code is still reviewed/tested/validated before merging (so -vibe)

Assume reusable spaceflight eventually brings launch cost close to the cost of fuel. This is close to happening. The overhead of building out grid and power infrastructure on land …

Energy will be the biggest bottleneck to data centers on land. Is not an issue in space. Space is the perfect env for running compute.

90% of my dev workflows have moved to Devin cloud agents. I don’t miss the days of fumbling around with my local repos across my multiple agent work trees or clones. I just throw a…

It seems like now’s the time to rethink how we do education. In my personal post academic life, I’ve found LLMs to be an incredible teacher. Almost like the best professor in the w…

Fully agree. Perhaps I should have clarified that it’s primarily for agents now, not just engineers.

I’ve found a good counter to this is having agents visualize and explain the architecture of the system. Then I gain just enough context to figure out what I’m trying to accomplish…

I've been using Opus 4.5 via Claude Code

I can attest to everything. Using Tidewave MCP to give your agent access to the runtime via REPL is a superpower, especially with Elixir being functional. It's able to proactively …

I think frontier models are getting to the point where we can start to reach higher trust agentic workflows. As a hardcore AI chat user, I'm often frustrated with the single-agent …

The issue you described is an issue with AI?

If you're reading this there's a great opportunity to pull a Linear move and disrupt the entrenched players with a 10x better UX. Although the hardest nut to crack here are the net…

I'd argue the opposite of ass kissing and yes-men behavior is what is actually seductive.

I agree. My take is, with tech and the social realm, it tends to provide watered down alternatives that distills the social fabric into a more sparsely connected graph. It's not ab…

Even if you're working on a large complex system like that, I believe coding agents are still useful at at least taking highly specific prompts/instructions you write and doing the…

I agree and do experience that. Perhaps to clarify, I mean that it (unlike humans), is always down to code alongside you. It will never complain, get sick, have a life event. etc.

For me the fun part of coding is having visions of products or systems I'd like to exist, and writing code only as a means to an end. Claude Code (AI coding agents/assistants) are …

There's a lot of economic explanations that seem perfectly legitimate. I'm wondering if a simple contributor is the fact that many people are moving away from their immediate famil…

Capitalism does facilitate monopolies or industries with razor thin margins like airlines. However, the space of competition is a revolving door with constant opportunity to create…

Reminds me of the Linear story. You can disrupt a set of established players by focusing on simplicity, opinionated design, and maximum performance via hardcore engineering.

I've done the same, but with AI generating a lot of the boilerplate, and helping generate automated tests, has accelerated this process considerably.

Like for a dev server? Are you using a file watcher? I also find a test watcher helpful to increase confidence in the agents changes. Recently, the cursor agent panel supports mult…
