My co-founder got annoyed with how hard it was to stay on top of his agents in Herdr. So he made it a game. I’m addicted to this

We pushed our CI usage past our AI spend last week. Our cracked teammate + Jog (@mattgapp) made that pace affordable. Adapt your systems to your new capabilities. Don’t limit your capabilities to fit your systems

Talk about market timing. We were starting to see our CI bills climb rapidly. So far @mattgapp and the team are kicking ass!

Gollum is misunderstood. Turns out that’s just how you walk with sciatica

I’m really starting to like Rust for speeding up our infrastructure. Now I’m writing cleanup code because the build artifacts keep filling my drives. Accidentally building a literal “Rust garbage collector”

My agents in Herdr noticed we were hitting compute limits, so the orchestrator built a queue. Now they’re all waiting for their turn while the machines sit at 10% usage. AI reinvented middle management

dot voice is really cool and Astra on tap is what I want in my assistant. But the rest feels buggy and underwhelming compared to Grok Bot and Muse. Send a picture: “I can’t see it” “Let me check that for you”: 🦗 @sama, didn’t quite stick the landing 🚀

I just told my herdr orchestrator to fire a middle manager. Not sure how I feel about the delivery Did he get sent to Mobile Avenue?

I'm finally building intelligent systems with AI. Still nothing next to watching my daughter's little sponge of a brain learn something new 😍

Old ideas can become revolutionary when pushed far enough. Google wrote the transformer paper. OpenAI showed how far it could go. Classifiers have been around for decades. TypeSafe is a good reminder that the breakthrough isn't always a new primitive. Sometimes it's making an old one dramatically better. At @precurion , we're already seeing how much credit work is classification. Moving more of that out of the LLM path should make underwriting faster, cheaper, and more reliable. Excited to deploy this with partners over the next few days. typesafe.ai/

Okay, I'm sold. Grok Bot is really well executed. Well done @jordantop and the team at Cursor. I've been missing my always-on agent ever since my OpenClaw setup went down. Onboarding and connecting tools was a breeze. The browser handoff is smooth. And the agent-over-chat approach makes things feel continuous in a way a ChatGPT chat just doesn't. You give it work, you come back, and it still has the thread. I filed an insurance claim through ChatGPT a while back. Policy docs, photos, the back and forth with the broker. The kind of job that usually dies the second you close the laptop. That's when I got what this is actually for. It's the same shape as collecting evidence for a compliance report. Or a daily digest of the business. Or the emails that have been sitting unanswered because nobody owned the follow-up. You could always ask a chatbot to help with any of that. The difference is you can leave.

NatWest took payslip PDFs out of the mortgage path. A PDF is a claim. Claims are cheap to fake. Income from payroll data is a record. Different object. That's the distinction we built around.

Lisbon airport - have they finally fixed it?

Opus 4.8 feels smarter. More confident. More personal. Talks a lot. I suppose that uses tokens. Smart Anthropic. I gave it a project. I asked if it finished. It said it finished. It finished 70%. I pointed at the rest. It said "you're absolutely right." It said it was fixing it now. It was not fixing it now. I handed it to Codex. Codex didn't tell me I was right. It just finished.

AI makes coding faster. It does not make the last 20% shorter. It just gets you up the wrong hill quicker. Trigger happy is the new slow.

I feel like we're in the "dumb phase" of Codex 5.5's cycle right now. 5.6 must be about to launch

Saw two kids prepare their fishing rods in the rain right in front of the local golf course’s “No fishing” sign That’s tenacity

I started reading the courage to be disliked recently. Went through a period where an individual was stealing a disproportionate amount of my emotional attention - and I realized I can’t live life allowing others to do that. So I started seeking inspiration on how to live a life more in tune with myself and the people I care about. Now that I’ve started reading it I notice the people in my life who manage to truly and authentically be themselves. They tend to have a lot of people who love them deeply. And a fair amount of people who dislike them strongly. On the surface I think I always thought that that way of living was selfish. Selfish in the sense that you end up contributing less to the world around you. Counterintuitively, what I notice about my friends who truly live authentically is that they tend to have a bigger and deeper impact on the people around them. It’s seemingly a rare character trait, but once you realize that living that way is a choice, it’s hard to not want to pursue it. So I have started to do just that. For my friends. For my family. For my daughter and most importantly for myself.
