the clones guy. orange pilled. coding agent maximalist.






life lesson: never bet on a custom harness like Pi been loving my custom Pi setup for the last few weeks, the fact that I can build any extension, use any models but things are moving too fast today huge teams behind Claude / Codex change the way we develop almost every month so by building and maintaining a custom agent you're more likely to get left behind most models perform better in their native harnesses anyway, and using external ones is likely to get banned so I recommend betting your workflow on a portable primitives, like prompts, skills or scripts, instead of custom agents


a lovely weekend surprise: partysocket, a tiny abstraction (like, 2kb) on top of websockets that adds reconnections/buffering/resilience + optional react hooks, partykit, etc. just hit 100k downloads per week. use it in your next project! doesn't even need partykit/cloudflare!🎈






building an open source sandbox sdk similar to cloudflare sandbox sdk but for any device (e.g. mac mini, any linux server) this weekend. the goal is to be able to seamlessly launch small containers in which an isolated and persistent git server + headless harness (opencode or claude or codex or kimiflare) run, with proper logging (both for harness and cost control), and also full control over opening/closing sandboxes

Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere. GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/latest… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks. API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License. The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.
