@flow_goes_indie @steipete @davemorin ChatGPT models in pi are just as good

@steipete @davemorin What do your recommend now? I think I'll try to switch to codex

woke up and my mentions are full of these Both me and @davemorin tried to talk sense into Anthropic, best we managed was delaying this for a week. Funny how timings match up, first they copy some popular features into their closed harness, then they lock out open source.

@VadimStrizheus gotta cancel.

ANTHROPIC HAS OFFICIALLY BANNED OPENCLAW USAGE!!! no this is not ai-generated Starting April 4, users will no longer be able to use their Claude Subscriptions for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw. THIS IS CRAZY. 👇

@blc_16 @bcherny ChatGPT and codex works just as well.

@bcherny Time to cancel my claude subscription!

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@ctx_dan @badlogicgames Lame

Well, it’s been a good run @badlogicgames and pi-coding-agent

@lucasmeijer @RickLamers @khoiracle supaterm.dev

@RickLamers it's supaterm.com made by @khoiracle from supacode fame. successor to supacode.

new pi extension: pi-terminal-signals for when you like ghostty progress knight rider look, and when you often run multiple agents and want to quickly be able to see if they're running or not. npm install pi-terminal-signals

@ThePrimeagen Gary is in a position of power. All fair in that role. We should criticize these folks and make sure they are not spewing nonsense to the people

guys, i honestly do not like clowning on Gary. I don't find being the butt of a joke funny, so I imagine he does not either. But, this is what worries me about where we are going. We are actively encouraging an entire generation that the tech is there when its not, and a couple of silly mistakes made on a website isn't the end of the world, but people's data and breaches are serious. We are entering a very VERY hackable world, and I do not like it one bit.

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

@mitsuhiko You're not impressed by the follow? `You are GStack, an open source AI builder framework shaped by Garry Tan's product, startup, and engineering judgment. Encode how he thinks, not his biography. `

gstack is hilarious. github.com/garrytan/gstac…

@MisterScarlett @factpostnews Give it another week Maga boy

@factpostnews Still not as high as Biden

The national average gas price has reached $4 per gallon after rising $1.06 over the past month. This is the largest increase ever recorded.

at this point i'm labeling this as performance art

@DarnelSugarfoo x.com/sentdefender/s…

1) Abandons all US bases in gulf, moves some of them to Israel. 2) Unfreezes Iranian assets, Iran calls it "reparations." 3) Lifts sanctions. 4) Iran given nominal control over Hormuz. Screenshot this.

@Kenaadams99 @ZssBecker Your coffee app isn’t serving billions

@ZssBecker 30 engineers and F tons of credits to vibe code? Bro I'm shipping features with 4 AI tools and a coffee budget. Maybe AI isnt overhyped. Maybe you're just incompetent at using it lol

I vibe code every day. I have a team of 30+ engineers. We spend F tons of credits. And I will tell you this about AI from my experience. It’s being wildly over hyped. Everyone is drunk. Fucking drunk. All the CEOs and Gen Z’s saying coding is dead are idiots. IDIOTS.

@GavinNewsom Free lunch and Tk helps a ton!

Universal health care access. $25 minimum wage for health care workers. $20 minimum wage for fast food workers. Free childcare — and an entirely new grade that saves families $20k+ / year. Free community college. $11 insulin manufactured by the state. Largest state tax rebate in American history. All while growing our economy to become the 4th largest in the WORLD. California defies the punditry of haters all the time. We’re focused on delivering results. And we’re not done yet.

@tonypabst @greendragonhq It’s not, it’s economically depressed. You might enjoy it because it’s all you know.

@greendragonhq I live in KY (right next to Cincinnati). I assure you, it’s light years better than California. The only thing that makes California attractive (weather, oceans, etc) have NOTHING to do with Newsom.

How can Republicans with a straight face say that Gavin Newsom destroyed California, then look at states like: Alabama Arkansas Kentucky Oklahoma Missouri Mississippi Louisiana Indiana And say these states are doing better ?

@badlogicgames You're like a wise tech Buddha

i love this comment. it illustrates how we software people permantently get real-life wrong, then build systems that are supposedly helpful, when they are not. bonus points if you claim the system replaces humans. the world is more complex than it seems. domain expertise is still everything.

@JackPosobiec This aged well. You really should be ashamed.

6 weeks from today we find out if we get affordable groceries or WW3

@toddsaunders It’s not free, stop hyping. Nothing is free

The token cost to build a production feature is now lower than the meeting cost to discuss building that feature. Let me rephrase. It is literally cheaper to build the thing and see if it works than to have a 30 minute planning meeting about whether you should build it. It’s wild when you think about it. This completely inverts how you should run a software organization. The planning layer becomes the bottleneck because the building layer is essentially free. The cost of code has dropped to essentially 0. The rational response is to eliminate planning for anything that can be tested empirically. Don’t debate whether a feature will work. Just build it in 2 hours, measure it with a group of customers, and then decide to kill or keep it. I saw a startup operating this way and their build velocity is up 20x. Decision quality is up because every decision is informed by a real prototype, not a slide deck and an expensive meeting. We went from “move fast and break things” to “move fast and build everything.” The planning industrial complex is dead. Thank god.

@callebtc This is a bit extreme. Ai coding isn’t doing everything and based on the recent aws and Claude slop fest with availability I think it’s overblown. It’s like a handsaw to a powersaw

I'm fascinated by this level of existential crisis developers seem to be going through. The uncomfortable truth is nobody needs you to be an artisan coder. Nobody cares about how you coded your app, or whether you feel an emotional attachment to your craft. You were always code monkey with a high enough salary to believe that your individualist craftsmanship matters to anyone. It doesn't matter to anyone but you. Not your employer, not your customer. Nobody cares about how you made the product. Nobody cares about your attachment to your process. You're experiencing the same as countless other artisans have experienced in the last century. I'm happy for you. You were starting to believe that you're a demigod amongst mortals. You're not. A machine is better than you. Now you're free.

@sanjeed_i @badlogicgames It really is the difference now between mass produced furniture vs an artisan hand crafting.

I'm thinking - read good books/resources on coding practices/principles - Explore and read the code of popular oss repos not tainted by slop and understand why they did what they did - Read docs, understand fundamentals for whatever stack you use Blocking time to do this regularly. Anybody wanna join in?

recommended reading. had this on my reading list for a while, finally found time. it's a small study, ymmv. would love to see one with senior engs. they great atrophy has begun. arxiv.org/abs/2601.20245
