Why are they playing philosopher in my coding machine

The rate of people showing me their new Replit/Lovable/vibe-coded apps has dropped PRECIPITOUSLY in the last two months.

@GSVarner @thdxr Trillion

@thdxr Those side chats with coworkers are the best especially when they are then made real by a billion dollar company.

pretty much every competitor in our space has been very easy to deal with except openai, they're the only company that understands building things for a lot of people we basically have no shot at directly competing

@knowclarified It feels like we’re going backwards suddenly. These labs just need to put the weights in the bag. They’re not ux designers

I fucking hate how Claude code puts everything in a stupid worktree what is even the point just edit the repo

I thoroughly believe that if @OpenAI let the @AnthropicAI team write their system prompts, we’d reach agi

Gpt-5.5 has this absolutely infuriating trait where it tries to confuse you in the hopes that you’ll get tired of reading its walls of text and stop asking it to do things

Biggest miss of all time to not make this a goblin

@kunchenguid Not sure! That’s your job lol Maybe drawing inspiration from a game like territorial (dot) io, where the strategy is based off the color of the terrain? It’s a hard problem. But a benchmark based on elo is much more fun than a % on a test

@computerusr cool idea! how would you gamify something like visual design tho?

LLM benchmarks are boring. introducing - Trial by Combat!!! two LLMs walk into a turn based strategy game, only one walks out GPT 5.5 completely demolished Opus 4.7 - much faster turns, lower token usage, and it won, fair an square details shared in thread below 👇

We’re talking about Goblins. openai.com/index/where-th…

@kunchenguid @thdxr Openai built a social media app lol

@thdxr actually, maybe only anthropic is confused

the whole "cannot use our models to develop a competing product" is getting really confusing now that model labs are launching regular products like Claude Design

This guy is a great follow

@F89Vincent And yet here you are Vincent

@computerusr Thats the dumbest thing you could say

Anthropic literally vibe-coded their entire codebase onto their public GitHub and somehow Europe can’t figure out how to copy/paste it and find $20m for some training compute

GPT-5.5 is the weirdest model I’ve ever used and it’s not even close. It’s a freak

@MashTunTimmy Imagine if they never invented typescript

Our best engineers are LOVING interfaces again. Gift from God to keep the agents in shackles.

Why is every model completely unaware of what it is? “What model are you?” GPT-5.5: “I am chat gpt 5.1!” Just add information about it to the system prompt. Or even an invisible skill to use when asked about this stuff. Am I missing something?

@kunchenguid @GergelyOrosz Smart

a few really interesting things are manifesting at the same time - 1. git is already decentralized protocol. it’s extremely easy for anyone to self host a git server without needing a “hub” 2. pull requests are dying because of AI. for open source, a prompt that has high quality requirements is better than a PR that no one has time to review. for businesses, review time is shifting left to happen between agent and human author, less and less between human author and human peer 3. CI/CD is a complete commodity - too many solutions available that can do the job better than github actions 4. copilot went from the SOTA to a commodity within just 3 years. they have no edge at all against frontier labs so if storage can be decentralized, PR is dying anyway, CI/CD is not defensible, AI is a losing battle, then what’s left for Github? it’s mainly the community and network effect, which is now also falling apart because of the poor service quality this is NOT looking good…

WOW. Mitchell Hashimoto voting with his feet: Ghostty is leaving GitHub. "I can't code with GitHub anymore. I'm sorry. After 18 years, I've got to go. I'd love to come back one day, but this will have to be predicated on real results and improvements, not words and promises."
