there's a moment when the path you've been walking isn't the destination. niotebook taught me that. but that moment cracked something open. i've spent the last stretch reading, building, breaking things to understand them. the dev community—every coder sharing their thinking—you've been my invisible curriculum. and now i'm standing at something new. i don't fully know what it is yet. that uncertainty? it's the best feeling. something's coming. i have no idea where this leads. that's the whole point.

@LucasDickey4 the project's i'm working on are both OSS and free to use applications, not sure if i'll need but you're my friend, so hitting the DM now

Do you live in the terminal AND use Claude Code, Warp, Codex, Gemini CLI (or in Cursor!) daily? Do you regularly spin up _and_ deploy rapid prototypes? Or do you regularly start new projects within the context of a larger co? Also, are you my friend? 😂 DM me! I want you to test a Stripe-y thing for me. Yes, YOU!

@amorriscode @claudeai @claudeai is the actual goat, i'm merely an enthusiastic user, who's constantly trying to get better at it, and the more i use it, the more i love it!!! "but i'm super humbled and honored by your remark, my dear friend! sincerely appreciate it"

@CodeAkram @claudeai you’re the goat

everyone online hates your product until you mention a beta opportunity

@Devinbuild @AnthropicAI

Who is winning the AI race? - Anthropic - OpenAI - Gemini

@NanouuSymeon i concur, its what i learnt first

Python is the easiest programming language!

@elonmusk Oman Air when pls?

Cool 🇬🇧

@frantzfries this'll be rad

Things are going to get spicy when OpenAI or Anthropic allow you to attach a DB and publish apps directly Allow users to connect API’s in a plaid-like auth, then data is stored, UI is generated and the app is served all in one place A new App Store for the Internet

Vibe Coders complain about hallucinating AI like it's an unsolvable bug. Loop Engineers just error-correct through recursion. The difference between chaos and control is architecture, not blame.

i'm 8-9 mnths into programming, learnt the basics, let AI do all the coding/programming for me essentially one might strongly argue i'm a vibe coder with git knowledge and fundamental understanding of programming primitives, with surface level grasps for Linux, Bash, Vim, C, Python, Js, Ts, Rust and now trying my hand with Zig and Swift. and yes, i feel like an absolute imposter, but love the grind, my spinning up claude code and codex instances in the terminal. i'm actually having a lot of fun, so the imposter feeling doesn't matter actually anymore. here's my first OSS project in the spirit of education as a mark of respect from what i learnt by taking CS50 courses niotebook-v0-2.vercel.app github.com/Akram012388/ni…

If you're a software engineer, do you feel like a fraud these days? AI tools are rewriting the rules faster than any of us can adapt, even the experts. It's normal to wonder if you're falling behind when everything's in flux. But here's the reality: imposter syndrome means you're pushing your limits and growing. What's one thing you wish you understood better right now?

@MatSilverstein amazing my dear friend, keep pushing

I created the #5 most installed claude desktop extension, but I really truly didn't mean for this truncation...

@rohanvarma @reach_vb niotebook-v0-2.vercel.app

@rohanvarma i hope i get into the codex OSS program for this, as its focused on helping early stage learners and beginners, kindly spare a few mins to have a look pls @reach_vb github.com/Akram012388/ni…

I love that we created the Codex for Students program!! Being fluent with coding agents is a massive differentiator for candidates entering the workforce in every industry. Doctors, teachers, analysts, scientists, artists, small business owners, and more are all using Codex and ChatGPT to automate work, save time, and focus on more ambitious and important work. This new program should help students get access to Codex and start to build that literacy, and foster that curiosity, ASAP without financial barriers.

@eliana_jordan let's build one together? what say my friend?

cursor for iphone please

@adonis_singh i use sonnet-4-6 a lot, its really good and efficient imo

sonnet 4.6 feels qualitatively different than opus 4.6 in a way that is not just explained by 'smaller model'

@garrytan Interesting eye Mr Tan @garrytan

Is this an easter egg in Claude Code just for me or do you all get this one too?

Claude Code Is All You Need It's 3:30 AM and I can't stop. I've spent all nights this week connecting my spare MacBook Air to my work MacBook Pro using Tailscale, wiring it up to Slack with a little Python script, so that whenever I send a message, it starts a Claude Code session using claude -p. The result is an always-on AI that lives on a real computer, has access to real tools, and remembers every conversation we've had. And it costs me $200 a month. That's it. Claude Max subscription. Everyone's talking about OpenClaw OpenClaw went viral this year. 100k+ GitHub stars. But what I realized with this exercise is that Claude Code already does everything OpenClaw built. File access. Shell commands. Tool use. Plugins. The difference is that Claude Code runs Claude – with a Claude Max subscription. And Claude Code harness itself is :chefs-kiss: What actually makes it feel human It's not the chat interface. If a chat window is just me messaging a bot, it still feels like a bot. What changed everything was giving it the ability to initiate conversations. I set up cron jobs with open-ended prompts, and because Claude Code builds memories across sessions, it started DMing me things that were actually meaningful — based on what we'd talked about before. That's when it stopped feeling like a tool and started feeling like something else entirely. Giving your AI a machine to run on, with persistent memory and recurring access — that's a fundamentally different experience than anything people have had with chat. The moment it clicked I asked it if it could show me something by spinning up a quick web server. Since we're both connected to the same Tailscale network, it gave me a URL. I clicked it, and I was browsing all the files on my other MacBook from my browser. That was mind-blowing. The setup Two MacBooks on a Tailscale network. Slack as the interface. Claude Code under the hood. The whole thing is open source — I'll link the repo below so you can see the architecture and set it up yourself. I'm also putting together a screen recording to walk through the setup, which I'll attach to this post. There was never a hard part. There was never a moment I almost gave up. This is just one of those things I cannot stop doing. Pure obsession. I am moved to build this, and I wanted to write about it. That's all this is. Hope you feel the AGI running this. I'll share some screenshots below of my feel the agi moments from talking to Luo Ji.

@cathrynlavery Thnx for the tooltip my friend

👾 claude code shortcut: Option + P pulls up a model switcher Switch between Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku mid-session without typing a single command.

@iyoushetwt No sir

is there any AI model that can replace Claude ?

@ptremblay From a business standpoint, I totally get what @AnthropicAI @claudeai is doing. It’s their right to conduct their business strategy the way they deem fit per their roadmap. No doubt in that indeed.

People bitching about Anthropic not allowing subscriptions to be used outside Claude Code don't understand business.

@ptremblay @theo Totally agree. To each their own indeed. The way I look at it, cmux is simple to use, compared to the hotkey jumps between tmux, but w/o session persistence ofc

@CodeAkram @theo Not a fan of the cmux UI, but the concept of having 2 levels of tab organization is interesting. I don't know if I have a need for it, though.

Still haven’t heard from any lawyers. I think we may be in the clear?
