Figured it out. Life has never been the same since.

Aktuell sind unsere Einsatzkräfte des #A36 gemeinsam mit dem Tierpark Berlin im Allende-Center in #Köpenick im Einsatz. Dort hat sich ein Wildschwein in das Einkaufszentrum verirrt. ^tsm

It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December and basically work since - the models have significantly higher quality, long-term coherence and tenacity and they can power through large and long tasks, well past enough that it is extremely disruptive to the default programming workflow. Just to give an example, over the weekend I was building a local video analysis dashboard for the cameras of my home so I wrote: “Here is the local IP and username/password of my DGX Spark. Log in, set up ssh keys, set up vLLM, download and bench Qwen3-VL, set up a server endpoint to inference videos, a basic web ui dashboard, test everything, set it up with systemd, record memory notes for yourself and write up a markdown report for me”. The agent went off for ~30 minutes, ran into multiple issues, researched solutions online, resolved them one by one, wrote the code, tested it, debugged it, set up the services, and came back with the report and it was just done. I didn’t touch anything. All of this could easily have been a weekend project just 3 months ago but today it’s something you kick off and forget about for 30 minutes. As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel. The biggest prize is in figuring out how you can keep ascending the layers of abstraction to set up long-running orchestrator Claws with all of the right tools, memory and instructions that productively manage multiple parallel Code instances for you. The leverage achievable via top tier "agentic engineering" feels very high right now. It’s not perfect, it needs high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration and hints and ideas. It works a lot better in some scenarios than others (e.g. especially for tasks that are well-specified and where you can verify/test functionality). The key is to build intuition to decompose the task just right to hand off the parts that work and help out around the edges. But imo, this is nowhere near "business as usual" time in software.

@levelsio TIL you’re 25

🇪🇺 As a European citizen and AI founder, I can apparently use these "AI Factories", so I just signed up to use them! Every "supercomputer" has an [ ACCESS NOW ] button which made me very excited I expected to sign up, maybe pay a discounted H100 rate (funded by EU, that'd be nice?) and get a Jypyter notebook, or some SSH login so I can access my GPU like I'd do on @lambdaapi or @awscloud or @Hetzner_Online But I celebrated to early, I signed up, confirmed my email, then ended up in a "Supercomputer Access Calls" page, where I had to select from a tedious list of "Call For Proposals" to get access to a GPU So I could NOT just access a H100 GPU, I have to make sure my project (in this case my business) fits a specific proposal, ok fair This process was already tedious enough but then when I tried to actually go through with it, it started asking me if I had "Respect for Human Agency?", I do I think, and if I was mindful of "Individual, and Social and Environmental Well-Being?", well I am, right guys??? Right??? The questions didn't stop, just endless pages of this Look I get what they're doing, they pivoted the classic university "I need to rent a giant computer for my research" to an EU wide thing and then present it as the "European AI plan" But this isn't really how AI works in production? As a founder in AI, if I wanna do stuff I'd rent a whole bunch H100 GPUs again at @lambdaapi or @awscloud or @Hetzner_Online and SSH into a box Or if I want it more simple I run AI models on @FAL, @wavespeed or @replicate which is just an API call or web front end I can click stuff and run a model The EU has the right intentions here but it's just the wrong execution, this thing will 100% go nowhere, and I'm a born optimist, I want to believe, I'm also a proud European, and I'm in AI a bit and not a complete idiot. There's just better ways to do this If you really want to have the GPU servers in Europe (which arguably isn't that important), then let me rent a GPU box with SSH access at @Hetzner_Online or @OVHcloud that's hosted in Europe and subsidize that for European citizens and European businesses. I don't even believe in that, but at least that'd make it accessible for Europeans. Now it really isn't? What's REALLY much more important though if you want to be a part of the AI race and I've posted for years here with @euaccofficial is to make Europe a really extremely attractive place to start and run an AI business. Remove regulatory obstructions and give tax discounts for startups. Let them build a business first that can compete worldwide and once they make enough money (let's say $100M/y), then slowly start adding regulation. Because right now the regulation only benefits the European incumbents, the dinosaur companies, while making it very difficult for European citizens to start new AI companies here. Which is why we literally have none left. Anyway, I applied to get my GPU, let's see if I get it!

i’m looking for a non-technical co-founder, whose idea I can build out. they can have 70% equity, and I can have 30%. comment if interested, must be non-technical i prev won hackathons at upenn and princeton, got software engineering offer from disney

Watching @nct_basketball from YouTube is fun but I really need to be in Kigali for this!

We have a Slack convention of #​brain-{username} channels. I log my thoughts, insights and summaries from meetings. I favor dropping in to other brain channels, like @cramforce’s, over sending DMs. It’s a good way to work in public, minimize backroom conversations, maximize learning for others and contribute to the search index. It’s also a great dataset to eventually replace myself with rauchgpt.

@behindtextdev @GoLandIDE @goinggodotnet @gopherconlatam @gophers_africa Looking forward to working with you @GoLandIDE, the Lagos edition is gonna be EPIC!

@GoLandIDE @goinggodotnet @gopherconlatam @gophers_africa Oh yes! 🙌

What a day! 💥 Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by the GoLand booth at @gopherconlatam. See you again tomorrow! #GopherConLatam

@wamweaaa Sad reality: we have neither of those. Even though we might have a larger unbanked fraction of our population, lack of those two holds us back so much. eg: it should already be a reality to tap your card as you get in and out of a mat and you get billed for distance travelled

@wamweaaa Same reason it’s non existent in the West. For commerce, tap to pay (card/phone) is pretty stable and most of other consumer use cases can be built onto available open banking infrastructure

Mobile money adoption in South Africa is so abysmal it’s basically nonexistent. I wonder why that’s so.

@__hostDes Oh a Laravel tool, looks nice

@_bigzoo Allow me to show you the best development environment out here herd.laravel.com

Still wild how you can secure applications on local with Herd Just bonkers

@davie_cloudegic I mean before lets encrypt was available / as accessible as it is now

@_bigzoo We still do

Never forget we used to be *required* to pay for SSL certificates
