@boxen_boxing @editframe I made it, my first hater!!! Thank you thank you

@RobinCsl @editframe This video you made has zero taste and really looks terrible.

Had a lot of fun playing with @editframe, really made it accessible with pi.dev to create something youtube.com/watch?v=oaOgUV…

@pauliusztin_ @aiDotEngineer @Whats_AI Here's the link to the repo (the one above 404'd): github.com/iusztinpaul/de… Thank you for sharing, checking this out now :)

Here is my free workshop on building multi-agent systems, I presented at the @aiDotEngineer London conference together with @Whats_AI. It has code, slides and soon a 2-hour video diving deep into how to build: - a deep research agent - a workflow that writes LinkedIn posts that pass AI slop detectors - an evals layer to optimize the whole system You can find everything on my GitHub: github.com/iusztinpaul/de… Clone it and become a LinkedIn influencer! Joking. It’s just a really good case study to build scoped agentic systems using MCP and Claude Skills. So grateful to do this with @Whats_AI. Thanks @swyx for doing this in Europe. The 2h workshop was a lot. At the end, I started to fade away, but we are excited with what we pulled off.

@katarinaore How do you plan the demo video? Do you write a script before? Nicely done, looks polished

Just recorded a new demo for Oculis It has all the latest features and I'm really glad I finally found the time to do it Homepage will now feature it too All part of the strategy to increase trial to conversion rate by being clearer on what the software does, and building trust with my audience Full demo link👇

@mattpocockuk @jmddotfm Instead, I let the bash loop read prd.json, so that it’s the orchestrator’s responsibility to say when to stop (ie not start another session). I still need to find a way to make the loop resilient to unblocking blocked items.

@jmddotfm So, I have found a consistent way to mitigate this. Instead of getting it to emit <promise>COMPLETE</promise> AFTER its work, do it BEFORE it does its work.

Nature finds a way cc @mattpocockuk

@gethalfbaked Pretty please 🙏

@thejustinwelsh @marclou What’s the best way to create compelling narratives? Esp. in a way that doesn’t feel forced and stays genuine?

@marclou Anyone who builds anything online is 100x more employable should they need it, granted they understand how to create a compelling narrative around what they've done...

You might not realize it, but if you've built a tiny startup, you're already ahead of the 99%. Make $1 online, and you're employable by any great company.

@nutlope Wow, that’s great news! Congrats Hassan!!!

Excited to share we raised $305M at a 3.3B valuation! It's been awesome witnessing all the growth – hitting 450k devs & 200+ models supported! Also, we're hiring!

5. Automate and delegate 6. Measure energy, not just output Life’s too short to grind through chronic burnout.

Managers treat self-care like an afterthought—until burnout hits. These 6 principles keep me sane: 1. Protect your time 2. Log off by 5 3. Say no more often 4. Prioritize recovery ...

Hosting a meeting is like hosting a party—you set the tone. Team leaders must energize meetings to boost engagement. How? 1. Have an agenda 2. Share your screen while note-taking 3. Call out people by name 4. Gently keep things on topic 5. Use silence strategically

When I became a manager, I saw 1:1s as a chore. In my first 1:1, my colleague thought we were done after 5 minutes. Then I asked about their career. 30-minutes-over-time later, I knew I was onto something. Here are 3 must-have conversations every manager should have regularly

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face". When adversity hits, it’s easy to lose focus as managers. Let principles be your anchors. These 3 powerful Stoic quotes remind us of what it takes to be a leader:

𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝘁𝗼-𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 = 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 As a new manager, i batched my one-on-ones. By the fifth, they were talking to a zombie. 15-minute gaps changed everything.
