@Sebgalindo @karpathy Bolt.new does set up Stripe, Vercel, and Supabse automatically if your project needs it. Also hosting and auth. Still needs some config, but it’s pretty sweet to get 90% done this way.

The irony is agents already write better code than most devs. But ask one to set up Stripe webhooks + Vercel + Supabase auth in one shot and it falls apart at the first OAuth redirect. The entire SaaS stack was designed for humans clicking buttons. That's the bottleneck now, not the code.

When I built menugen ~1 year ago, I observed that the hardest part by far was not the code itself, it was the plethora of services you have to assemble like IKEA furniture to make it real, the DevOps: services, payments, auth, database, security, domain names, etc...
I am really looking forward to a day where I could simply tell my agent: "build menugen" (referencing the post) and it would just work. The whole thing up to the deployed web page. The agent would have to browse a number of services, read the docs, get all the api keys, make everything work, debug it in dev, and deploy to prod. This is the actually hard part, not the code itself. Or rather, the better way to think about it is that the entire DevOps lifecycle has to become code, in addition to the necessary sensors/actuators of the CLIs/APIs with agent-native ergonomics. And there should be no need to visit web pages, click buttons, or anything like that for the human.
It's easy to state, it's now just barely technically possible and expected to work maybe, but it definitely requires from-scratch re-design, work and thought. Very exciting direction!

When @karpathy built MenuGen (karpathy.bearblog.dev/vibe-coding-me…), he said: "Vibe coding menugen was exhilarating and fun escapade as a local demo, but a bit of a painful slog as a deployed, real app. Building a modern app is a bit like assembling IKEA future. There are all these services, docs, API keys, configurations, dev/prod deployments, team and security features, rate limits, pricing tiers." We've all run into this issue when building with agents: you have to scurry off to establish accounts, clicking things in the browser as though it's the antediluvian days of 2023, in order to unblock its superintelligent progress. So we decided to build Stripe Projects to help agents instantly provision services from the CLI. For example, simply run: $ stripe projects add posthog/analytics And it'll create a PostHog account, get an API key, and (as needed) set up billing. Projects is launching today as a developer preview. You can register for access (we'll make it available to everyone soon) at projects.dev. We're also rolling out support for many new providers over the coming weeks. (Get in touch if you'd like to make your service available.) projects.dev

Genuine question:
If agents start generating work for other agents at scale, what prevents congestion?
TCP solved packet congestion.
But what governs work creation?
English
The AI stack is forming fast:
• tools for models to access data
• protocols for agents to talk
• orchestration frameworks
But, what’s the unit of work in an AI system?
Not a prompt, or a tool call.
Something like a mission?

@MrPeacetopia @levelsio It’s not a zero sum game. If someone copies your idea, that’s validation it’s a good idea. The pie grows.
Also, they will do that no matter when you ship.

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding:
1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now
2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend
3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets
4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time
5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users
6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists
7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees.
8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing
9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A
10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros
i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings
the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start
you don't

@karpathy Move over, CLI. Next up… fourmilab.ch/documents/univ…
English
CLIs are super exciting precisely because they are a "legacy" technology, which means AI agents can natively and easily use them, combine them, interact with them via the entire terminal toolkit.
E.g ask your Claude/Codex agent to install this new Polymarket CLI and ask for any arbitrary dashboards or interfaces or logic. The agents will build it for you. Install the Github CLI too and you can ask them to navigate the repo, see issues, PRs, discussions, even the code itself.
Example: Claude built this terminal dashboard in ~3 minutes, of the highest volume polymarkets and the 24hr change. Or you can make it a web app or whatever you want. Even more powerful when you use it as a module of bigger pipelines.
If you have any kind of product or service think: can agents access and use them?
- are your legacy docs (for humans) at least exportable in markdown?
- have you written Skills for your product?
- can your product/service be usable via CLI? Or MCP?
- ...
It's 2026. Build. For. Agents.

@briannalyman2 Imagine the kind of legal mind required to convince yourself this doesn’t mean what it says. And you’re also a Supreme Court Justice. 😖

Birthright citizenship is not a fundamental constitutional right and it’s indicative of low intelligence if you think it is
Rep. Rob Menendez@RepMenendez
SCOTUS is taking up Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, but let’s be clear: the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship by birth, and no president can rewrite our Constitution with the stroke of a pen. Proud that @NJGov is leading the challenge at the Supreme Court, and as a proud member of the Litigation Task Force, I’ll keep fighting to defend this fundamental constitutional right.

@briannalyman2 Parents are not mentioned. The text is inarguably saying what it means to say. The baby is subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. if it’s born here.

@MonolithicPeak @slfevidentruth @AaronSiriSG That’s right. That’s because immunity implies you can’t get the disease. Protection means you still might.
English
Why do we need the 1986 act if vaccines are so safe and effective? Why does a product need immunity if it doesn't cause harm? Why do products that have been on the market for decades, like the hepatitis B vaccine, still need immunity?
English
@DrBenTapper1 @AaronSiriSG Because the benefits outweigh the harm.

@BakkenShale @AaronSiriSG One of the saddest and most easily avoided medical errors is the patient making medical decisions based on their own research.
English
@JLRed5 @AaronSiriSG “Rare” is the key word. That is exactly why the immunity exists. The moral question is whether to eliminate individual suffering or help the many. With less-than-perfect medicine, people will suffer. But more will suffer without it. That’s what makes this issue morally difficult
English
@AaronSiriSG Repeal the Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. Vaccine manufacturers should not get immunity. It is almost impossible for the vaccine injured to get recognized much less compensated for rare but real harm because of the Act. Mandates should be eliminated as they restrict freedom.
English
@brian_t_muldoon @AaronSiriSG “So dangerous” is one way to look at it. Another is “the danger is worth the risk.” Will millions of people benefit, but some number will be harmed? If that “some number” is too high, the risk wasn’t worth it. We know the answer for the vaccines around for decades.
English
If vaccines are so dangerous that they cannot be subject to legal liability then all vaccine patents should be held by the government or some other public body.
Private corporations can still invent new vaccines and sell them to public bodies at a fair price, but cannot sell them while being shielded from legal scrutiny.
The legal system is the normal check on corporate malfeasance. If this is removed patent ownership must be moved to a body answerable to the public.
English
@slfevidentruth @AaronSiriSG Good question: Because vaccines aren’t 100% effective, an unvaccinated kid makes it more likely a vaccinated kid will get sick.
English
@AaronSiriSG Why is everyone up in arms over people that don’t want to vaccinate their kids. If vaccines are so safe and effective then why do you care if my kids aren’t vaccinated?
