I can say this with 100% certainty. There is no chance I get through the CASA 2 security audit for my new application without Codex and Claude Code. No. Chance. This process has taken far longer than I imagined just to have Gmail API access. I should make a whole video about how the agentic harnesses allowed me to understand the scope of the coming audit, use open source tools to prepare for and mitigate any issues ahead of the audit, and pass on my first try. Anyone who says agentic coding is a sham is a moron. The entire application is 109% agentic built. How we build has changed. The speed at which we build has changed. That possibilities of what a motivated individual can build has changed. Forever.

@ryancarson @morganlinton My oldest daughter was 2 the last time I had alcohol. She turns 21 in Aug. Don't miss it at all. Don't even think about it.

@morganlinton agreed!

haven't had a drop of alcohol for a long time now. thought i'd miss it more.

@levelsio I can only imagine what a mess your timeline must be with the availability of the AI reply bots. How could a job does the algo for discovery work for you these days?

The AI reply problem is so big right now that I have no choice other than to restrict my replies to this You can still QT me though and I can see it I started seeing AI bots now also discover they can QT btw (new attack vector)

@BlaisHunter This is art

Avs win

@BlaisHunter "Massive overpay" simply is not translating in this playoff run. 😀

Nic Roy is a gem.

I've never experienced the rage @DNVR_Rudo has for missed faceoffs during playoffs. We missed a goal too. I have rage.

Well, that's a first for me. Wrote this to Claude: " This has been going for a **VERY** long time - please write up what you are trying to accomplish that is not yet done in a prompt I can hand to another agent. You are stuck." Codex to the rescue?

@Dorizzdt What's the cost of uttering something like, say, "agentic copilot"? ooooo, what about "visual agentic copilot builder for windows R2"? 🤣

If anyone comes up to me in person and starts to tell me about ai, and says the words "Agentic OS" ... I will punch you in the throat. I am not doing Agentic OS. Stop it. You're drinking too much of the Ai koolaid now. Grow up.

agentic based playwright testing is 100% saving my sanity as these apps get bigger and bigger.

@garyfung @bscholl Kill 2 jobs with one AI

@bscholl Kill 2 clankers with one stone

We need alt phrases for “kill two birds with one stone” and “more than one way to skin a cat” that don’t involve being cruel to animals

@petergyang What specs?

I spent close to $3,000 for a Macbook Pro so that I can try running local models. At least, that was my excuse. In reality, I am running...😅

@returnofaj And these are the same people that expect us to take them seriously when they try to explain goalie interference

...tight.

@ChrisWalshie I do. It's a classic codependent relationship.

Claude had an outage earlier this evening. Working with Opus 4.7 right now feels like a lobotomized intern. I have to stop working on everything right now that Claude is touching. The mistakes that are being introduced belie credulity. One example: something is broken so the fix was **TO DELETE ALL CACHING** for my app. Is this a fix? Technically, yes. Is it the right answer? Not even remotely close.

@davj Def my favorite: "Domain Name Connoisseur"

I'm not a founder, I'm a: - Senior Slack Messenger - Head of Vibe Coding - Situation Monitor - Chief Generalist Officer - Domain Name Connoisseur - Swag Curator - Tokenmaxxer

@morganlinton @huggingface Better than any model! But also, good job on publishing the model.

@Bwatson @huggingface Trail + hilly. I live in Tahoe so it all trail and hills.

Okay, totally surreal feeling. Just published my first model on @huggingface. This was insanely fun, more to come. Now to go run in the woods to celebrate 🏃🌲

@Dorizzdt @OpenAI @claudeai From an ai harness analysis skill I wrote: "Your biggest manager-habit gap: You tolerate Claude loops too long before escalating." And Claude being self-reflective: "Claude keeps doing the thing after you tell it to stop." 😀

I am now what 4 days deep on 100% using @OpenAI codex (cli and desktop). I am less pissed off each day. I have not realised how much @claudeai used to piss me off by the end of the day. Its way more productive. There have been many times where I just couldn't parse what ai was dumping out in a wall of text on a complex plan. So i say "Make it an infographic so i can see" and then.... it does..and i immediately think "oh shit now i get it..." proceed or heres more to this idea. The GPT-2 Image generation combined with Codex is such a slept on feature in coding workflows. I also have not found the need to go back to Claude as yet.

Now that I am paying fort eh $100 plan on Claude and Codex, if I think one of them is about to really do something wrong, I use this prompt. "I don't agree with you. Write up what you think is wrong so I can ask a different agent." This has been a huge stress reducer for me.

Ayo things getting chippy in slow motion
