This is the dream come true! Played with it this evening and I love that you can use the 'follow the agent' toggle to see what the agent is actually doing. Thank you @zeddotdev for making this masterpiece!

I have never felt more seen LOL

Tesla’s Full Self Driving is getting really good! I did a 968 mile roadtrip yesterday and I only needed to intervene 4 times for a total of about 5 minutes of manual diving end to end. What a feat of engineering!

@ThePrimeagen Agreed. It’s always been true that if you point a massive amount of compute at something you can break it through brute force. I’m personally not worried until quantum chips start breaking encryption.

I don't think it is as big of a deal as people are making it. Hype is annoying, anthropic please just IPO already.

@Austen Exactly what my first thoughts were haha

I can't even imagine how much Anthropic will be able to charge for Mythos. I'm afraid to know.

@rrhoover Haha so true!

Tech debt is having a breakout year in 2026

@garrytan He is risen indeed!

Happy Easter. He is risen.

@LWOSMattPollard 💯haha

I just got a red card watching this game. #Rapids96

@Techstars Autocomplete for architects and interior designers.

Pitch us your startup in 1 sentence. 👀

@jasonfried Thank you, but just know that there are those like me that would have happily paid for Fizzy! I’m on card 226 and I’m not going anywhere. Love this product!

Fuck it, we just made Fizzy completely free. The open source installable version was always free, but the SaaS version was pay. No more. Basecamp and HEY's largess will subsidize Fizzy for all. So go grab your account at Fizzy.do. It's Kanban the way it should be, not the way it has been. Fresh, fun, light, fast, and perfect for working with agents, too. An official CLI is coming soon as well. Stay tuned for that. The native iOS app should be out once Apple approves it (it's in approval right now...). Android is already out, you can get it on the Play store. (and BTW if you were a paying customer, you will no longer be charged moving forward)

@ColoradoRapids It was a joy to watch!

@ericvtheg @mercury Right? Thought the same thing when I got my “custom art link” email. And clearly @mercury support is just as confused as we are. Haha

Why is my bank @mercury sending me “art work”?

@garrytan That’s pretty inspiring to think about the positive impact AI is having on the lives of these kiddos! Thanks for sharing that snippet with the world; it’s really nice to see some positive AI news in my X feed.

@jasonfried @Tesla Absolutely agree! My wife and I bought a Model Y a year ago and we were delighted at how stress free the process was. We even had a trade-in as part of the purchase and it was definitely the smoothest trade-in experience I’ve ever had.

The last car we bought was a @Tesla Model Y. Painless purchase process. No salespeople, no showroom, no upsells, no games, no haggling, no pressure. Just a personal choice on my own time, and a simple few-minute process handled entirely via a clear and straightforward app. The next car we're buying is from another brand. And holy hell, it feels like I'm going back in time. Salespeople, back-and-forth charades, pricing games, "when can you come in?" before the deal is finalized tactics, etc. And I'm still doing it all via email so I don't have to deal with the showroom antics. I've modernized the process as much as I can from my side, and yet it's the same old same old. They don't even feel like the same thing. In one case I'm buying a car with all the baggage that comes with buying a car. In the other case I'm buying a Tesla with none of the baggage of buying a car. This experience could make me lament this other brand, but what it really does is make me appreciate and respect the lengths to which Tesla has fully reconfigured the car buying experience. It's become effortless, like buying any other product. As it should be. A car is just another product. Bravo.
