> what will the future look like, with sophisticated AI agents smart enough to hack into corporate systems? "Ignorance is bliss" (c) Matrix Oh, sweet-sweet ignorance. About 4 weeks…

Yeah, you need actual models to understand what is going on. Basically, when I was using my first version of Coherence to write down what system does on lowest level I found myself…

GUI is just sequence of events (mouseclicks, scrolls, keypresses) on top of semantic tree (if we can call div class soup as "semantics"). But we can record it since long time ago a…

I've been thinking about this as well. To me this is optimization problem. How can we solve a problem if we don't understand it? Understanding takes a lot of effort exactly because…

Well, don't automate your thinking ;) If you can do this then yes we'll transition to AGI/ASI. But thinking (and understanding) is still largely human.

Once I did all of that for what I'm doing (I'm just a web dev...), it turned into a rabbit hole so deep I am now questioning reality itself I'm not kidding though. I had a mental b…

Lemme give you more signal than this how to automate yourself. 1. Write down everything you do in text. Don't skip any details: thoughts, why, how, who, what, and so on 2. Add deta…

I had a few aha moments recently while thinking about this problem (automating easy parts and leaving "hard parts" unsolved). 1. Understanding the world is the bottleneck to thinki…

Can we just delete LinkedIn at this point? I can't reach out anyone except few people. My estimation is that out of 100 interactions only 2-3 are genuine humans. Everything else is…

I wonder if I should submit this to HN: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/your-data-being-stolen-right-... Because there's a massive bot network operating on LinkedIn right now... and…

I'm exhausted seeing this same mistake happen over and over and over. Why nobody tries to write a spec from existing code is just crazy to me. The git test suite is a behavioral sp…

I do apologize for a bit of advertising of OSS project that I mention in the article (I think it is relevant because I'm tryna fix one of the largest pains today, at least for myse…

Yeah the single file SYSTEM.md would not scale. When you are working on something, you don't load entire context of entire app in your head, only "minimal viable context" (MVC). In…

I'm wondering if we're working on the same thing. If you haven't seen my posts I suggest to look through them. In short: 1. stacked-commits automation (cannot skip writing context/…

Pivot to Erlang is real! I'm kidding of course but feels like the time has come to look closely into Erlang ecosystem and OTP. There's even agentic framework for this: https://jido…

You're absolutely right! (c) I'm kidding. But yes, I explicitly didn't model it yet. The bigger vision is there's a reason for Spec to exist, right? And that would be Outcome. > "W…

My bad. Well, it's Excalidraw, and you can download png / svg from it. Here's image you can open on the phone https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HGjHvSsWIAAkhHL?format=jpg&name=... I also…

This is my current visualization of the problem: https://excalidraw.com/#json=y1fSSx2z8-0nFs7CDnqhp,d9Di8JdGU... I think the "cognitive bottlenecks" in software engineering live be…

Recently I stumbled upon this crazy thing: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/9676#issuecomme... `ripgrep` tool call on opencode added `--follow` override, which allowed …

Yeah it feels like it but I did my research! I've been stuck with this problem for 10+ years now. I'm tired I'm exhausted. Every single time I come to new company, nobody writes sp…

This is mostly solved just by writing proper commit messages: https://blog.br11k.dev/2026-03-23-code-review-bottleneck-par... Much more interesting part is how exactly you map Cont…

To me all of these are symptoms of the problem that I outlined in my recent blog post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47606192 and it touches in detail what exactly commit st…
