On the way to the office to patch a couple hundred customer PHP applications. Today is going to be fun.
I’m up at 5 AM.. Phone battery is at 20% by 2 PM. My Grok Bot weekly usage is gone within 24 hours on an ultra plan. Everything running hot and fast. I need solar panels and an unlimited token budget.
Earlier this summer I bought a little tiny whoop FPV drone. Like I didn’t have enough hobbies. Just finished a 5” build this last weekend. Super fun and addictive and gets me away from the AI madness for a while. Good stuff.
The velocity on the @bot ecosystem right now is nuts. They are *cranking*. We're now using GrokBot in front of our own harness to design and delegate and it's awesome.
Shipped a new product with @bot this morning while having my coffee. Meanwhile my kids’ @AmazonAlexa doesn’t know what day it is. Can you guys team up and get me @SpaceXSI voice on the echo? Or just sell me a different hardware voice device…
Somebody needs to rethink email completely. I have 30+ (yes, all of it) years of email in google workspace. Every mail client is fat and clunky. It's all valuable context forever but just run some embeddings on it and give me an mcp and a stupid fast simple interface to read/compose (or check my agent's drafts) and thats it. No folders, no labels, nothing else. I don't want another weekend project, someone else do this.
Siri in the latest version of iOS is the worst most ineffective update they’ve made so far. General operation is slower and more complicated. Things as simple as setting an alarm or adding a reminder take more steps and more confirmation. Apple, get out of my way. Let me use my own agents.

Cursor: Self-hosted machines
What changed:
- Tool execution stays entirely in your own network — codebase, build outputs, and secrets remain on internal machines.
- Team pools are named queues that scale with demand and can hibernate idle machines to avoid keeping capacity warm unnecessarily.
- Cloud agents can now run on infrastructure you already use: AWS Lambda, Coder, Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, Namespace, Vercel, and E2B.
- Self-hosted workers support computer use on Linux and Mac — agents can click, type, take screenshots, and drive the browser.

If you see some rando rockin a @limelytedotcom hoodie, it was Nathan's. Ahh..life in downtown Spokane
Just discovered something awesome about @bot. Not only does it ship with a computer that it controls, but if you run the desktop app on a desktop machine, it can control that machine also remotely and it can tag team both of these things at once. Crazy.
