OpenAI engineer:
"the cost of putting up a plausible PR has gone to zero. the cost to review it has stayed the same.
close the loop. give the agent a way to verify its own output."
in an 82-minute podcast, the founder of ruff and uv explains how software engineering actually changed.
codex + automated verification + green CI - that's the new bar.
Watch the talk

Head of Claude Code: his mental model: source code was a statement. an agent writing code is a function. loops are a higher order function "loops are as big a step from agents as agents were from writing source code by hand" he has loops reading user feedback every 5 minutes and shipping PRs with the fixes. no human in the loop others he runs nonstop: improve the architecture, kill flaky tests, merge duplicate abstractions bookmark this. you're early ↓

Anthropic engineers just built a full app using a loop of 3 agents. The team behind Claude Code proved the winners of 2026 won't have the smartest model. They will have the best loop
But a loop on top of an empty workspace is just expensive noise
Most people open a blank chat, paste context, get a generic answer, and start over tomorrow. That is not a model problem. That is a setup problem
A real Claude setup runs on 7 layers. Preferences kill repeated instructions. Styles save operating modes. Projects keep context from mixing. Knowledge files load real material. Connectors plug into your calendar, tools, and repos. Artifacts turn answers into usable tools. Workflows make repeated tasks run the same way every time
Same model. Different setup. Completely different result
To most people Claude is a chatbot
To architects Claude is an operating system
Stop visiting Claude. Start living inside it

@ScottyBeamIO The way I just gasped out loud in public because of this

A GUY GAVE A HERMES AI AGENT ONE GOAL AND IT GENERATED $22,000 IN LEADS FOR A STRANGER'S BUSINESS IN 24 HOURS
On stage at a conference, he picked a random small business from a LinkedIn post in the audience. A web design studio in Carlisle, Cumbria.
He gave Hermes Agent – open source, runs on any LLM – one goal:
"Find companies in the area. Take screenshots of their current websites. Redesign every single one. If they don't have a website, build one. Email each business owner offering the redesign for £2,000."
The agent went off and did it autonomously. Hundreds of full website redesigns. Real ones. Not AI slop – actual professional-looking sites.
It could only send 50 emails a day to avoid looking like spam.
100 emails sent. 11 responses. Roughly $22,000 in leads sitting in one inbox.
From one prompt. For a business that didn't even know this was happening.
The agent didn't need a team, a sales department, or weeks of outreach.
It needed one goal and permission to keep going.

@MyWestLord this hit me at exactly the right time and i needed it more than i realized
English

4 AMD nodes, 1 rack, 8U tall, all to run AI without ever touching the cloud.
He stacked 4 Framework desktops into a mini rack half the width of the one beside it.
Each node: its own fan, its own CPU cooler, its own power supply.
A 5 gigabit switch ties them together.
Ansible wires them into one brain. A Beowulf cluster, the kind universities ran in the 90s, now sitting in a spare room.
Every watt feeds into Home Assistant. He watches the power draw live, model by model, asking the same question every time.
How cheap can I make a machine that thinks?
The rack hums. 4 chips split the load. Large language models run on hardware he owns, no subscription, no data leaving the building.
Then he says the part nobody wants to hear.
A single Mac Studio still beats the whole stack.
One box. No cables. No Ansible. No 8U of metal. It runs the big models faster and cheaper than 4 nodes glued together.
Months of wiring. A rack you can point at. A cluster that boots from a script.
Beaten by something that fits under a monitor.
He built a server room to outsmart the cloud. Apple sold the answer in a box.
