what i’m coming to understand is software modularity is more important than ever before. as the agents are forgetful what ya gotta do is push stuff down as an infrastructure concern. let’s take logging/tracing - move that from an application level concern to an infrastructure middleware/effect concern that provides application tracing for free that way when the clanker forgets to sprinkle it in control flow it doesn’t matter.
less the agent has to do the better outcomes
thanks for the convos @xoofx i think you are right.

@CommerceJohn @garrytan @claudeai Been running Claude Code as an OS for a few months now. The knowledge codification piece is the part most people haven't figured out yet - the system gets smarter over time, not just faster.
English
If it's not obvious, all builders should be trying out gstack. It is great and fun, but also it describes a new way to imbue knowledge on others. @garrytan is codifying his builder knowledge into a process that executes elegantly inside @claudeai Code, turning Claude Code into an operating system.

I'm getting closer to more and more automated smart decision making on the right kind of product/dev rails that I learned from Palantir, Posterous, and 100s of YC successful engineer-first startups. Currently testing the newest idea: /autoplan which speeds through plan-ceo-review plan-eng-review and plan-design-review emulating MY decision making process. I'm trying to land 35 community open source PR's on GStack this morning and this is going to help me do it

Further more to Claude actually being an operating system, skills can auto-update, checkout how @garrytan does it:

Meta-prompting is coming to every discipline, but prompts are stone tools. There are generalizable processes in most white collar work. Gather information, converse for clarity, generate, review, etc. In the coming months, better prompting will not win. Process engineering will take us to the next derivative.

A Stanford student got reported for academic misconduct last semester. His research paper was so good his professor assumed he bought it. The academic integrity hearing lasted 3 hours. Here's what happened in that room. The panel asked him to explain his methodology from scratch. He opened his laptop, pulled up Kimi.com, and started rebuilding the entire paper live in front of them. First he fed it his raw notes and asked: "You are a research methodology expert. Here are my raw notes. Identify the 3 strongest arguments buried in this data, rank them by originality, and show me exactly where each one challenges or extends existing literature." The professors went quiet. Then he ran: "Now simulate a hostile peer reviewer with a PhD in this field. Generate every serious objection they would raise against my thesis. Then tell me which objections actually have merit and which ones I can dismantle." One professor leaned forward and asked him to stop so she could write down the prompt. He kept going. "Take my weakest argument and steelman it harder than I did. Show me what it would look like if it were airtight. Then tell me what I'd need to prove to get it there." Then the one that ended the hearing. "You are my thesis advisor. I have 24 hours before submission. Read this draft and tell me the single change that would move this from a B+ to an A. Be brutal." He walked them through how he'd used that last output to rewrite his conclusion three times until it held up under every objection in the room. What took most PhD candidates 6 months of back-and-forth with advisors, he was doing in real-time inside a single workflow. The panel didn't just clear him. They gave him the highest grade in the department's history and asked him to present the workflow to faculty. The irony is beautiful. The paper looked too good to be human because he'd found a way to think harder than most humans bother to. That's not cheating. That's the new ceiling.

local in-person AI classes for corporate boomers.
think Claude 101.
easily a $ 25K/mo opportunity.
rent a presentation room. run meta ads targeting 35-60 year olds. charge $500-$1000 for a 2-day hands-on workshop.
teach vibecoding, Claude, ChatGPT, prompting and agents.
the demand is insane.
these people see AI everywhere but have zero clue how to use it.
they want face-to-face guidance, not online courses.
run the same curriculum weekly. refine based on questions. multiple up-sell or down-sell opportunities. scale to multiple cities once you nail the format.
you’re hitting a market everyone else ignores. corporate boomers with cash who prefer learning in person. they are also being told to learn these tools daily..
no chance this doesn’t work if you execute.
go out and nail this.

@JoJoFromJerz @Acyn Or because someone needed oil sanctions lifted
English
@Acyn My god — he just makes shit up as he goes along. We haven’t seen any evidence of any of this and he’s not ever going to show us any evidence of any of this because there isn’t any evidence of any of this.
We’re in a war with Iran because Israel told us to.
That’s it.
English
Doocy: You said: they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait nobody expected that. We were shocked. Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation?
Trump: Nobody. Nobody. No no no no. The greatest experts—nobody thought they were going hit…
English
@ChrisMurphyCT @JoJoFromJerz Occam’s Razor would say that Putin needed to sell more oil, so his friend helped.
English
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

In case anyone *still* needs to be disabused of the notion. Do not use New Relic. The usage-based charges are ridiculous.

Apparently the kids in my son’s school (Alpha School) have been using AI to generate songs to help them memorize their spelling words.
He always makes his heavy metal.
I have to admit this would have 100% worked on me.

@CommerceJohn I dodged this ADR process (left 4 years ago), but you're giving me AWS quarterly process PTSD 🤣

Just in case anyone had forgotten, there is a perfectly optimized format for coding context that has been around long enough to be built in to all models: docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-g…

@addyosmani Finally can switch from gog! Every company is going back to CLI.

Introducing the Google Workspace CLI: github.com/googleworkspac… - built for humans and agents.
Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and every Workspace API. 40+ agent skills included.

Depreciation Criteria: What needs to be true to deprecate this functionality. (Critical in the world of software factories)

@andrewchen This is fundamentally wrong. Agents will recommend skills/CLIs/SDK to other agents. Truly, if you build it (and it is good), they will come.
English
AI is makes software cheaper to build, but not easier to distribute
This is the core conflict for years to come
