@samhogan This has been done in Sqlite with the AgentFS abstraction turso.tech/blog/agentfs

What if a codebase was actually stored in Postgres and agents directly modified files by reading/writing to the DB? Code velocity has increased 3-5x. This will undoubtedly continue. PR review has already become a bottleneck for high output teams. Codebase checked-out on filesystem seems like a terrible primitive when you have 10-100-1000 agents writing code. Code is now high velocity data and should be modeled at such. Bare minimum, we need write-level atomicity and better coordination across agents, better synchronization primitives for subscribing to codebase state changes and real-time time file-level code lint/fmt/review. The current ~20 year old paradigm of git checkout/branch/push/pr/review/rebase ended Jan 2026. We need an entirely new foundational system for writing code if we’re really going to keep pace with scale laws.

@zcserei @theandreboso @grok To send an email would you rather write a full Terraform setup to manage an email server or make a call to a reliable email SaaS API?

@beornf @theandreboso We have IaC for that.

I made a thought experiment to see if the idea of a SaaS apocalypse is credible. I scrolled my feed and noted down the first 10 products I saw. I took a look at what they do and tried to imagine if in the future they could be replaced by AI. The result was… mixed. I can imagine at some point using my AI assistant to help me edit a video. I upload it and tell it to remove pauses and silences. Seems doable. But for other things it wouldn’t be that simple. I can’t imagine using my AI assistant to create and send marketing emails. It would have to deal with custom domains, deliverability, etc. These tools won’t be replaced easily. Maybe (maybe!) one day I might be able to build one myself. But that would require time and effort so I’m not sure it would be convenient. So I think the future will be much more nuanced than nothing will change vs. AI will eat everything. The bottom (20-30%?) of basic tools will probably disappear. But all the more complex and robust ones will keep thriving.

@zcserei @theandreboso Isn't there still an email server that needs to be orchestrated by the LLMs? How would an LLM provision a VPS and come up with a shared pricing model every time that is cheaper than using a SaaS?

@theandreboso I can't think of anything in the email flow that can't be handled by an LLM. Custom domains are definitely not one of those things.

@TheEthanDing The cost of LLMs is at least 10x the cost of a third party sandbox so I think you can get away with not optimizing that cost for a while.

I don’t understand why any product team competent enough to build their own agent would use a third party sandbox provider at scale ever It’s not like stripe where there’s a long tail of problems like fraud, that matter at scale It’s just compute

@anshnanda You can run sandboxes on Kubernetes if you really want but it's so easy to switch out a sandbox API after product market fit.

If you’re not building your own sandbox infrastructure as an AI agent company you’re cooked

@jon3k @DanielW_Kiwi An example would be Einstein's visual thought experiments that were used to develop special relativity. To formalize those ideas you need mathematics and language.

@beornf @DanielW_Kiwi How do I have internal thoughts about, say, deeply technical problems, without language?

It's crazy that we think in language. Language is not just a means of communication but the substrate that we use to form ideas internally. What happens to a person that doesn't learn a language. Do they just think in abstract?

@Popbones It's mostly because it's a different vibe like in the San Junipero simulation.

有没有可能内陆区域和沿海区域很多性格和文化的区别和Omega 3之类的摄入量以及光照气温等有关？

@DanielW_Kiwi What about personal humanoid robots that go to the store. That pick items placed on the shelves by other humanoid robots.

Click and collect needs to be automated. Why do we have manual picking from a store that also has customers. Isn't cheaper to have an automated warehouse not open to the public?

@CheddarB0b42 @DanielW_Kiwi There was a moment when Neo stopped the sentinels with his mind before this. Hinting the real world might be another simulation.

@beornf @DanielW_Kiwi they literally pirated a ship (on brand) and flew outside to accomplish the mission

Hot take: The Animatrix was better than the sequels

@DanielW_Kiwi I'm not falling for that Earth propaganda. Turns out the aliens were peaceful.

Would you?

@DanielW_Kiwi Abundance of food is a relatively recent occurrence in evolutionary terms.

Why is there a lag between eating and getting full? Seems counter productive

@DanielW_Kiwi This is for the tiny people after they volunteered to shink ray themselves to reduce carbon emissions.

I hate inflation

@SambodhiPrem @adcock_brett I guess you need a cleaning robot using a 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water solution while it's powered off.

@adcock_brett Ask it to wash its hands when it makes an omelette next… 🤔

Here's a F.02 in my home, using Helix to do my laundry

@KevinRossi @adcock_brett Keep a pack of alcohol wipes next to the recharging station.

@joshmanders Firebase buckets are private by default so a rule was added to explicitly make them public.

I know I rail on vibe coders a lot, but honestly... I don't think Tea was vibe coded. I just think it was a simple mistake in locking down buckets. People are misattributing anything that has a security breach as vibe coded.

@DanielW_Kiwi ********

Did you know that X hides your password if you try and post it. You'll see it still but it's hidden for everyone else. See here is my X password ******

@DanielW_Kiwi LLMs are knowledgeable but humans are much better at humor. Need a TARS humor level setting.

I'm starting to enjoy conversations with LLMs. Just for the chance to talk about interesting topics. This is a worry. My Wikipedia binges didn't feel like they filled a social void. Para social LLM relationships are not an addiction I need.

@nestersk @ThePeterMick Their terms of service is a deal breaker: "You will not, and will not permit or assist anyone to, use the Services to: develop artificial intelligence or machine learning models or any products or services in direct competition with Trae or other generative services from us"

@ThePeterMick Wait till you hear about sending all your data to China. trae.ai

I just cancelled cursor. And subscribed to Copilot. Copilot: $10 for 300 Claude 4 requests. Cursor: $20 for 225 Claude 4 requests. Same thing, less than half price and you get 2 months free 🤯
