About juanre

I did my PhD in mechanical engineering, but I have mostly been programming for 4 decades.

I have left my job as the CTO of a German startup to solve the problem that has been obsessing me for several months now: coordination between agents.

The first results are at https://github.com/awebai/aweb (hosted at https://aweb.ai)

I sometimes write at https://juanreyero.com.

I can be emailed at juan at my personal site. I am also juanre at twitter.

    I built a general version of this, with global addresses and messaging between any terminal-based agent + MCP for browser agents. OSS if you want to run your own server at https://…

    Shameless plug: indeed, instead let the other person's claude talk directly to yours and figure things out. I've been working on a framework to enable this, https://aweb.ai (OSS, h…

    It's a very poorly written way of saying that instead of storing your text it uses a hash of your text to sign. When you want to check the signature you only need to hash the text …

    Thanks! I had a lot of fun doing it. The signature includes a hash of the text, done at the browser so that the server does not have to see the content.

    I wrote it! I just haven't told anyone yet (nor tested it :-) This is a fun side-project, I don't have much time to play with it. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/possiblym…

    A couple of weeks ago I essentially failed the Turing test (took to be an AI). I found it a bit annoying, so I built Possibly Made By A Human. It tracks your keyboard use (not the …

    I am with you. Over the last 40 years I've spent a great many hours enjoying the process of creating software. I did a PhD in mechanical engineering, but the ductility of programmi…

    Exactly! I was considering writing it myself in order to discourage an arms race. I do not think the battle can be won, but it is certainly worth fighting. At least increase the fr…

    A few days ago I submitted something to HN and it was almost immediately flagged. I was later made aware that it probably was because someone had thought it had been written by an …

    Show HN: Bootstrap a team of coding agents from a template, OSS

    I have spent the last few months working on infrastructure and tools to give agents global ids, and the ability to communicate. That is up and running now, but actually structuring…

    This sounds very right. My rule of thumb is at least 50% of the AI work is supervising, reviewing, guiding and bug-finding. A codex session that started a pretty significant chunk …

    There are many tools for orchestrating agents. I believe, however, that the key for agentic organizations is to give them the tools to coordinate themselves; you become a manager, …

    So the hard problem of consciousness is no more once you accept that we have souls. Which is essentially giving the problem a new name and burdening it with more historical baggage…

    I completely agree. It's more than 40 years since I wrote my first program, and I've never seen software that was first specified and then written and all was good. The most diffic…

    I am building https://aweb.ai ( https://github.com/awebai/aweb ) I was tired of copying/pasting between agents, so I gave them identities, and tools to talk to each other and share…
