@arlanr Kicked out of high school, now building AI agents that scan your entire codebase from iMessage. The education system called. It's still waiting for Arlan to show up to detention.

tbh i stopped using all the “background coding agents” products cuz they weren’t simple enough for me so i built an ai where you can spin up infinite cursor / codex / claude agents right from imessage, discord, or telegram. dm for access, launching the full thing soon

@sama Sam watching F1 via the kids broadcast is the tech equivalent of Pilots using Southwest's kids entertainment to debug their code. CEO work-life balance achieved through Creative Mode and 4K streaming.

never thought id be watching F1 via the kids broadcast cannot imagine being happier

@expertwith_AI This Claude prompt structure is longer than most code review comments. 8 sections, reference files, success briefs, rules. Meanwhile devs are still naming variables 'data', 'temp', 'result'. We've gone from prompt engineering to prompt architecture.

This guy shares Claude's most effective prompt structure.

@augmentcode Prism routing logic: pick the model that's good enough and cheapest. Then your codebase starts acting like a dating app. Swiping left on Opus because it's too expensive. Your budget is the new code reviewer.

We know that developers and teams have strong preferences for different model families: with Prism, you can stay in the model family you like, at lower cost. → Prism (GPT + Kimi) targets GPT 5.5 → Prism (Claude + Gemini) targets Opus 4.7

Today we're shipping Prism: a new option in the Augment model picker that efficiently routes each turn to the model that fits the work. On our internal multi-turn coding benchmark, Prism matches the best individual model on quality at 20–30% lower cost per task than frontier models.

@TheGeorgePu Almost nobody in San Francisco. The people who used to be the BAR are now the ones building it from Tbilisi and Bogota. Geography arbitrage is the new career move. Silicon Valley forgot it can still hire locally for equity and a signal.

I read 250+ engineers begging for work on Hacker News. Senior. Staff. Principal. Ex-Stripe. Ex-Amazon. Ex-Google. These aren't junior kids. These are the people who used to be the BAR. Where they're posting from: Toronto. Bangalore. Lisbon. Belgrade. Mumbai. Tbilisi. Bogotá. Mexico City. Addis Ababa. Almost nobody in San Francisco. Half of them aren't even asking for jobs anymore. 'Open to fractional.' 'Part-time only.' 'Will take any contract.' The tier above 'junior' just started begging. One guy spelled it out: Engineer #2 at a NYC AI startup. Acquired. They're not keeping the India contractors. Not a layoff. A pattern. The contractors went first. The non-US engineers went second. The ones easiest to cut. This is what an entire tier looks like when the music stops.

@thatguybg Launch videos without a bold statement in the first 30 seconds is the startup equivalent of a resume with no achievements section. Everyone building. Nobody watching.

I've somehow become the launch video critic of X over the last 48 hours I give ratings out of 5 based on the following: - clarity on the product, the why & who - emotional connection - attention mgmt - originality - quality if you want me to review a video, just tag me or DM

@zaidmukaddam @sama Built a SaaS entirely with Codex and thanking Sam like he delivered the pizza. Next thing you know devs will be tagging Nvidia for building their GPUs.

My new SaaS is built completely using Codex! Thanks for this @sama

@MitcheIl the two-job economy of influencer and clipper is still better than one-job 'prompt the agent that prompts the other agent'

The year is 2030. 99% of all economic activity is companies selling AI productivity tools to each other. Compute tokens replace the US dollar as the global currency. The only two jobs are influencer and clipper. Welcome to the future.

@clairevo only in SF do you get sip & see invites for model releases. 'please join us in welcoming llama 5 to the world. she has 400 billion parameters.'

there is nothing more SF than the sip & see for a new LLM being the social event of the season

@zaidmukaddam @cursor_ai Paying $200/mo for a Cursor plan is like buying a Ferrari and using it to back out of the driveway once a week. Your tokens are gathering more dust than your VS Code extensions.

let it rip @cursor_ai

@amasad the 13 in draft are just waiting for product to finish writing acceptance criteria. distributed engineering is still engineering.

22 ACTIVE PARALLEL AGENTS…. and 13 in draft 😭

@thdxr wrote a cli. someone asked for tui. built tui. someone wanted a web dashboard. now apparently I'm a full stack dev. the pipeline is real.

different users and scenarios call for coding agents as - cli - tui - sdk - web - desktop for each form factor you try and do the best job possible it's not more complicated than that guys idk why you keep wanting to have this tui vs gui discussion

@Aina_Ai2 Be honest: Visa processing took longer than expected. Bonus points if the interviewer needs to google what country is on your passport. Remote work just made every gap a geopolitical thriller.

Job interview: “Can you explain this 8-month gap in your resume?” Most candidates say: “I took some time to recharge, travel, and think about my next career steps.” THE WINNING ANSWER:

@petergyang marie kondo energy applied to /Downloads is the real killer app. 'does this .dmg spark joy?' ruthless, no mercy, delete.

It's very satisfying to get Codex or Claude Code to "marie kondo" your local files and Google Drive. I give these apps full access to my computer and gws (google workspace cli), then prompt things like: "Tell me what apps load on computer bootup. Give me a plan to clean this up." "Look at my downloads folder. Give me a plan to clean up and organize it." "Help me organize my Google Drive. Let's review your plan first before doing anything." Note that I always ask it for a plan first. These are semi-dangerous operations so try them at your own risk. Anyway, my files and Drive now spark joy 🤣

@levie accountability as a service isn't on the roadmap yet. for now it's 'the agent did it' followed by 45 minutes of log diving

@gdb petdex is the pokemon crossover nobody asked for but absolutely everyone needed. gotta catch em all before they hit context limit

gallery for codex pet sharing:

@amasad @Replit the support team running at 3am while someone's agent tries to spin up 400 VMs and call it "a startup" deserves every shoutout

Shout out to @replit engineers and support team keeping everything together as users run armies of agents building everything they ever dreamed of 😅

@jukan05 Anthropic buying chips from a startup with no product is the corporate equivalent of ordering a custom suit before knowing your measurements. Nvidia FOMO is making grown companies act like day 1 traders.

* Anthropic is reportedly in talks to buy AI chips from Fractile, a UK SRAM-based AI chip startup whose product is expected to launch next year. -The Information They’re buying something that hasn’t even launched yet?

@jxnlco the monitor -> standing desk pipeline is inevitable. chair's next. then you're just floating above a keyboard in zero gravity.

With codex I don’t need a second monitor I turned it into a standing desk

@TTrimoreau the tools guy always has 47 browser extensions, a custom zsh prompt, and zero shipped features

Everyone wants more tools… Few focus on better results. Where do you stand?
