I also believe this to be true. Why would I use an app agent when I can use my own with all my personal context and connections! Holds both in B2B and B2C.

Yes, this is quite true. As a recent example, I built this local-first library/primitive that allows all my apps built with agents to work offline and sync when needed. It’s a primitive that solves the data layer, so agents can focus on the rest. This has made it incredibly easy to spin up new projects that are really a joy to use and fast to iterate on. @poteto and @mattpocockuk talk a lot about this too: making codebases where it’s impossible for agents to make some category of mistakes or where the ”good way” is either enforced by code or by examples of adjacent code. xitter.cf/markdalgleish/status/2…

With Opus 5.5 I have been building an army of personal software in my spare time. T3 Code + Opus 5.5 + $5/mo plan on Cloudflare (so I can use D1 and R2). Hooked up to my own domain. Each apps gets a different [subdomain].frankdilo.com. So far I have built: - web writer like iA Writer - meal planner app - layout planner for my apartment - learning app powered by OpenClaw to learn any topic and stop doomscrolling Each app has a feedback section where I can leave feedback as I use it. An agent loop looks at that feedback every hour and fixes things, so each session the apps get better. What makes this magical is that with the Cloudflare CLI I can go from idea to deployed, infinitely scalable app under my own domain in seconds. If you put all the apps under a monorepo, each app can also learn from the others.

Weekend project: browserarcade.club Directory of real games that run in a browser tab. Quake, Half-Life, GTA Vice City, Black Ops zombies, even Super Mario 64 with 12-player online. 35 so far, all free, nothing to install. Try them, submit new ones, upvote the ones you like.

This is already happening to me. Buying stuff outside of Amazon more because Instinct is blocked from accessing it.

Wll deserved. T3 is my harness of choice. The things I like the most about it is best-in-class remote control and how it shows threads in the sidebar making each one feel like a task that you can check off.

Eventually all traditional software will be rewritten. Expericing this myself, we have passed the point where you go from idea to personal software in minutes. Ideas, taste and judgment are the limiting factors.

Interesting idea for a to-do list app, but I don’t think it will work. This won’t be the best to-do app and won’t be the best assistant because it’s trying to be both at the same time. A much better approach would be to build a best in class to-do list app that talks to existing agents/assistants, which is something I have been thinking a lot about. But then how do you reach a level of polish such as the one Things 😁 that’s impossible to vibecode, you need the craft.

$​show-me has to be my absolute favorite skill. It compresses information into small diffs and diagrams to show you instead of using a thousand words like LLMs usually do. I invoke it tens of times per day. @mattpocockuk even integrated it into its $​pr skill so now PRs description are extermely short and informative as well. github.com/humanlayer/skills…

Had to deal with my first DDoS attack yesterday. There is definitely more people out there trying to break (into) stuff. Stay safe out there!

Don't want your data used for training while on consumer subscriptions for Anthropic and OpenAI? I think this makes sense to avoid your personal or company info ending up in the training set and being blurbed out. This is how to open out. ‣ Claude: Settings → Privacy → "Help improve Claude" off. ‣ ChatGPT/Codex: Settings → Data controls → "Improve the model for everyone" off.

Wipe all your skills and start from scratch. With AI models getting so good, there is a lot of value in starting from scratch with your skills stack. All the cruft in your CLAUDE.md and skill files accumulated over the years is actively harming smarter models. This particularly applies if you create skills by directly prompting AI models and your skills are bloated and full of duplicated instructions and redundant guardrails. Had a similar experience recently by reinstalling OpenClaw 2.0 and only migrating the 3-4 things I actually use. Same applies to coding projects.

Recently, I have been using the @t3dotcodes harness as my daily driver and I’ve come to appreciate the minimalist features set: simple and single-threaded chats without side chats or crazy nesting plus amazing cross-device sync. No fluff. I am sure mods will be useful, but I doubt people will get as much value out of them as they think they will.

This applies more to early-stage ideas that show early signs of traction. It’s okay to build in public once you reach escape velocity or nail distribution. Even then, you probably don’t want to share insights competitors can instantly clone (like the new channel we discovered that doubled Typefully’s signups and trials a few days ago 😁). The biggest alternative in the replies seems to be private communities. I can relate, being in a couple of cool Telegram groups. These communities need to be small, and members should be vetted (maybe with an invite system).

Have been listening on repeat. I am ready for the game to come out.

Build in Public is dead because of the ease of cloning ideas. How could it be reinvented to keep the good parts only?

Instinct is the most impressive products I have ever tried. Even more so coming from such a young and clear-minded founder. Why do I like it? It’s proactive, smart, whimsical and generally delightful to use and makes you really feel like you are interacting with a top-tier human personal assistant working 24/7 to ensure every part of your life goes smoothly. After having tried OpenClaw/Hermes and all the coding harnesses, none of them really compare. Instinct has implemented the absolute freaking best memory system out there. It remembers everything and brings it up in surprising ways even making connections between different memories unprompted. It’s also crazy how proactive it is and how it seems to bring up what’s relevant just at the right time. I have been using it for travel, shopping, booking things, coordinating with my gf and friends for events and playing tennis (different Instincts can talk to each other on behalf of the owners). It’s truly incredible.

AGI is here. Instinct just bought me socks.
