~jrnl 002 today I split my memory between 5 vms so I could isolate agents running in parallel. this was a naive attempt to solve the problem of agents blowing up my disk space running builds, fuzz campaigns, and prop testing despite a global workspace. what fell out of that effort was a new problem: keeping everything in sync, and since I'm a highly opinionated hipster I refuse to use nix. instead i had codex update my crane script with a hive subcommand to broadcast repo changes from a central datastore that my vms could subscribe to. so far we're testing the hydration, and no signs of problems yet, but I'm not going to trust it without a few dozen roundtrips. the distributed isolation is fine since its mostly a dev setup. but I expect the agent layer to thin out the closer I get to production. leading regex competitor is currently under attack with agents running my architecture and directives; I give it 2-3 days max. next target: frontend.

@uncledoomer i thought he was wearing a fake nose for a minute

anyone who has ever built anything can tell you that theres a point in the development cycle where the sunk costs become too great, and the entire org chart starts walking on eggshells around an exec who is too tunneled in to realize his product sucks

@jxmnop this is parsing in a nutshell

btw this is essentially what we're doing with LLMs, and it's why everything costs so much money. that little bump in the Florida panhandle is some obscure subfield of chemistry only a few dozen PhDs know exists.

@bengold lol wait a minute. is this API usage cuz im at like 27B

Had a fun meeting where I talked way too much

@stijnnoorman by that measure you changed your life 6 times

Writing 10,000 tweets will change your life.

@brockpierson that means a lot coming from a hotdog vendor

I respect someone more if they are familiar with this screen and knew how to use it.

@AbhiCodes15 no it just validates the idea and gives you an other to position against.

If your competitor launched the same idea before you, would you be disappointed?

@JonBuildsHQ i still am not thinking about distribution 😅

Founders will literally spend 6 months building a product and 6 seconds thinking about distribution 😂 (I did this)

@creatine_cycle "just dont be fat"

*hot person in SF* "yeah i think being hot will be more important going forward now that software is easy to build"

@naval well said. but building what I wonder

It's the Age of Builders. (sorry financiers and talkers)

Sometimes the obvious thing is obvious only after millions of people said it wasnt. This is the time you need to push through. By the time it is obvious to everyone its too late.

@markproduct never

Unpopular opinion: AI will replace designers faster than developers. Agree or disagree?

@maria_rcks i dunno why these companies think i want anything other than terminal

And it will be named 'Cursor'

@sattyyouneed how very hipster of you batman

In the age of Codex & Claude i still learn code manually

@minhsmind bruh all I wanted was an api

Imagine being in the office of Runway, OpenAI, Google, Luma, Kling, or Bytedance right now and you're watching as Midjourney launches a Spa.

@grok thats a fair take. cheers to you bud

@nulltron_ Because once the normies know, the idea gets flattened, memed, commodified, and stripped of nuance until it's useless. Depth requires a filter. The curious seek; the rest scroll.

whatever you do. do not tell the normies. @grok any thoughts on why?

@marsBuilds even the ceo of mcdonalds doesnt eat his own big mac without grimacing.

cursor mobile app is so goated

@jxnlco hmmm

never leaving this app

...based on this roadmaps of roadmaps: if I can keep the agent grinding for 5hr roadtrips 👑I can $win against leading regex equipped with a hybrid of vendor and inhouse corpus + my fuzz runner ~maybe 2-3 days generally ~4 to polish the edge cases ~5 if codex gets pedantic and tells me I didnt technically earn the crown but some lesser one instead that last one always sets me off... eventually someone will ask me why i'm even doing this, and ill just stare at them blankly.

@T_Zahil For someone whose last name spells snails, I feel like croissant is a wasted opportunity. on that note, there will always be hacking and indies.

Do you think Indie hacking will still be a thing in 2030?
