Regular reminder to read the code (at least skim it)! Agents write better code than you. That's not the problem. They make *assumptions* when missing info and bake them in. This is (IMO) the worst kind of bug: the kind agents don't even recognize as bugs. You can have the agent grill you with 200 questions and it still may make assumptions because sometimes things aren't knowable *until* implementation. Code review agents are really good at reviewing code at face-value, but they rarely catch instances where the code doesn't match your desired behavior. The solution: read the code. Even if it's skimming the tests, the core logic, having the agent summarize it for you (sigh), just do a little human review.

Sam DMd me to apologize. I like to give the benefit of the doubt so I deleted my tweet It has not changed my view that @sama's vision is to diminish the freedom of individuals and put more power in the hands of fewer people OpenAI and Worldcoin are on the wrong side of history.

Ember 1.0 came out on Aug 31, 2013, exactly 13 years ago. I didn't mean to time it that way, but today is the day I'm making "Rock and Roll with Ember" free: balinterdi.com/blog/rock-and… This has been an amazing journey, and I want to say thank you to all who were part of it ❤️

I can't tell you the number of people over my career that have said "I tried learning tmux" First problem: the fact you have to "learn it" at all. The world's best multiplexer is the one you don't have to learn. It just works. That's what we're building (and then some 😜).

Quick Superlogical demo to end the week. This demo is just of the basic functionality, but I want to highlight just how FAST it is. There's a WHOLE lot more functionality already present and coming but I wanted to keep the demo short. But seriously, check out that speed. I'm showing the macOS app here and I get asked a lot so let me just say up front: its not macOS only. We're still figuring out exactly what platforms will be stable enough for the initial public release, but we're working on others. In particular, the web interface is very functional but I'll demo that another time (or someone else will). This is also all showing off the architecture I previously talked about for terminal multiplexing which is significantly different from other mainstream multiplexers: this is all a custom binary protocol where the server is maintaining N replica distributed terminal state machines. It works! Tons of hard work going into this by the team @almonk @dizzyup @pearkes. Hope we can bring you something you can use soon. ❤️ Happy to answer questions in the replies.

⚠️ AI agent skills are becoming a new attack surface and most teams aren’t prepared. In OpenClaw, “skills” are treated as documentation, but in reality, they can act as installers. And attackers are already exploiting that. @jmeller, VP & Security Strategist @1Password, found that a top-downloaded skill in a popular registry was being used to deliver macOS infostealing malware. This is why the future of agentic AI needs identity and access controls that are time-bound, revocable, and attributable.

I must have spent days of my life typing `document.querySelector(All)` in browser consoles only to realize I can simply type `$(selector)` and `$$(selector)`
