"A lot of people are very uncomfortable with the fact that they are essentially just CRUD monkeys. They just make systems that create, read, update or delete rows in a database, and they have to compensate for that existential dread by overcomplicating things." - @dhh

Everyone enjoying start of summer 🌞

just noticed that whole day had at least one agent doing something claude (for learning) -> copilot (work) -> hermes (personal stuff)

@icanvardar also the javascript framework wars. It's amazing how there has been no new popular javascript framework since the AI became popular. Tells a lot about how things in tech industry works.

i’m glad the programming language wars are over

@mariusschober @Molson_Hart @nntaleb this is not specific to muslims. We have one vegetarian friend in our group so we always go to restaurants which has good veg options

@Molson_Hart minority rule @nntaleb medium.com/incerto/the-mo…

Learned that if the Muslim population is 20%, you lose ~40% of your sales if your restaurant isn’t halal certified. It’s not because Muslims spend more. It’s because a mixed group of Muslims and non-Muslims will only choose Halal spots so the entire group can eat and drink.

@rayansadri don't forget RBC

it’s TD, Scotia, and EY here lmao

@_Evan_Boyle @burkeholland what is a copilot plugin?

Copilot CLI now supports enterprise managed plugins. Define plugin config in .github-private to auto-install plugins for every user in your organization.

@rousseaukazi Agree; lot of good things will come out now that engineers stopped chasing "FAANG" companies

the upside of huge companies not needing as many people: over the next few years, we're going to see large waves of people leave big companies to pursue their own ideas for niche communities that they're a part of and adore. longtail entrepreneurship is going to create such a fun future. i believe the rate of 1-3 person teams starting 7 figure annual businesses is about to continue exploding. regardless of whether these future founders leave due to passion or layoffs, i believe a significant % of them will look back and feel grateful that they traded working for a manager they didn't like all that much for a problem they can't stop thinking about. entrepreneurship is hard but it's also freedom. freedom to work on what you want, how you want, and with who you want. humans were meant to be free, so i genuinely believe there's an idea for ~everyone that they would love spending their time tinkering on. the internet opened the world and made it easy to find and connect with your community; ai makes it easy to build and serve them.

@NousResearch @digitalocean @GitHubCopilot no premium requests so far

so I created a personal AI Assistant with @NousResearch hermes agent, running on most basic droplet by @digitalocean and my @GitHubCopilot subscription Using the agent since last 2 days without any cost. @digitalocean gives you $200 credits on new account

@BenjDicken this is exactly the thing I have been thinking about recently, I don't want to use something heavy like VS Code anymore, I need a tool to see diff and easy file navigation and then just run coding agents in separate tmux

What's the best ai-assisted coding setup in neovim? Need to seamlessly mix writing code by hand, agentic work, diff review, and file browsing.

@msfeldstein what's the benefit of this? why not use a subagent in same session?

Cool thing about working on a CLI is i can just have the CLI drive the CLI to test out a million edge cases via tmux

@Agent0ai Try demo: space-agent.ai/login

Now we have frontend agents, running on the browser, so many browser workflows can be automated with this @Agent0ai awesome work

@OrenMe bad day for people who got yearly subscription

I will totally need to reevaluate how I work with AI now But this makes a lot of sense, it is not really sustainable to manage economics when some people consume millions of tokens per single premium token Nevertheless it’s hard to grok for anyone who got used to taking advantage of sub agents not costing additional budget 🙃

But can the personal AI agents add actual value? I can try to create an AI assistant and then replace all my productivity, habits tracker apps with the AI assistant Later I can build graphs to visually see how am i progressing, this can be cool side project.

@NousResearch github.com/sksaifuddin/he…

The personal AI agents are getting so cool, especially Hermes Agent by @NousResearch, I played around with a bit on my local machine and it was really easy to setup. I created a docker image with all the tools required to install hermes agent quickly, if anyone want to give it a quick run

@NousResearch Here is the docker image: hub.docker.com/repository/doc… It acts like a VPS, so if you later want to move your agent from local to actual VPS, you can do it easily
