@abysmal_pepto @willdepue I've aliased this to "espresso" on my machine, works like a charm

genuine question, because I might be definitely missing something, but couldn't this all just be done by running `caffeinate -imdsu`? It is a built-in command on macOS, no need to install or download anything, so there should be no security issues either. I've been running it on my machines (both personal and work ones) since forever ago, and am yet to hit any issues whatsoever.

Tired of holding your laptop half open to keep your agents running? Introducing AgentPlug: A USB-C dummy plug that keeps your Mac in clamshell mode by pretending to be an external display! No commands, no security worries (just pull it out to stop!), no hassle.

I learned recently there's an opposite to paranoia called pronoia. It's when you're delusional that everything will work out. I think cultivating mild pronoia along with actively engaging it (doing things normal people think won't work out) is one of the best things you can do.

People of pi. BIG NEWS. I've sold out. Let me know how you feel about this in the comments below. mariozechner.at/posts/2026-04-…

@badlogicgames Incredible congrats! Makes me excited even more for the future of pi

I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens. normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task "I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops. no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words "result. done. me stop." 50-75% burn reduction with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

Every country has an energy. And that energy rewires you whether you notice it or not. People move to Japan and become minimal. People move to Mexico and their entire relationship with time softens. People move to New York and suddenly they can't sit still. Your personality is far more malleable than you think. We treat it like something fixed, but new surroundings give you new defaults. New pace. New habits. New values absorbed through proximity instead of effort. You're not just the average of the 5 people closest to you. You're the average of the 5 places, the 5 routines, and the 5 inputs you're exposed to most. Your commute shapes you. The weather shapes you. Every space you occupy is voting on who you become. That's why I believe choosing where you live is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. More important than your job title. Maybe more important than your five-year plan. Because the place shapes the plan. The place shapes your energy, your habits, your relationships, your default state. Get the place right and half of the other decisions start making themselves. Get it wrong and you'll fight yourself every day.

@mitsuhiko @badlogicgames The "go-to-bed" bed extension tho 😂 I checked out the source, clever for for those of us that can't seem to stop poking our agents into late hours

Papa @badlogicgames is not convinced, but I find experiments with message passing with pi highly insightful. This demos how one pi can send a message to another session and back:

@cgtwts 💀

Claude Code watching me write code manually

I went all my life not to think to customize the line height in my terminal. Absolute game changer. I'm using ghostty, do this: adjust-cell-height = +20%

@mds game changer for readability! can't believe this simple pro-tip lol. I set this on ghostty terminal "adjust-cell-height = +20%" (I found 1.3 or +30% a bit much).

claude code enhancement prompt: please set my terminal line height to 1.3 ✨enjoy your new reading experience

this is the ultimate end game for agents 😂

'Just use a VPS' bro. It's just a 1-click, 2222-step install.

Been leaning more on buildwithpi.ai in 2026 💪 There's almost a release daily and highly customizable with extensions. Recommend for anyone that's wanting to see what else is out there other than claude code / codex as their harness. (you can even use your existing subscriptions with pi!)

Neat extension for pi to add a little splash of style github.com/nicobailon/pi-…

@nicopreme wild, didn't realize how much you could do with pi extensions. also love the custom startup header, gonna look into your extension repos as inspiration!

My newest extension for Pi coding agent lets the agent drive any interactive CLI (including other agent harnesses) in an overlay while you watch, with option to take control anytime. Full pty, token-efficient polling and configurable. github.com/nicobailon/pi-…

@johnpalmer lmao i feel seen

“bro I spent all weekend in Claude Code it’s incredible” “oh nice, what did you build?” “dude my setup is crazy. i’ve got all the vercel skills, plus custom hooks for every project” “sick, what are you building?” “my setup is so optimized, i’m using like 5 instances at once”

I've wasted many tokens building things that I end up not using. Tough pill to admit I chase the dopamine hits with these coding agents, and with often little value. It will become important to carefully select what you choose to work on. "Just because you can, you might not want to."

@ryancarson Legend. Thanks 🙌

I've got a little treat for y'all who are super fast. 100 codes to 2x your daily free tokens on Amp. That's up to $600 of free Opus 4.5 tokens. 2x boost lasts for 60 days. Thanks for following me and happy hacking! ampcode.com/code/AMP-RYAN-…
