Are babies and relationships measured on the same time scale?
After 18-24 months you start measuring in years.

This the load increase over 2 years that is breaking GitHub.
Numbers on where the Y axis start provided by GitHub, added to the graph by me. Full analysis from today's @Pragmatic_Eng The Pulse issue

Trying a new flow this week:
1. Iterate super-fast, right on the edge of sanity, ignoring the code, until I hit a prototype I like
2. Pull it back into huge testable units via /improve-codebase-architecture
Let's see if I can polish the vibe coded turd

I get 4,150,000,000 (4 billion) requests and 300,000,000 (300 million) visitors per year
That'd cost me $338,913 if I wasn't on a VPS like @brian_lovin below
Instead I pay $2,932/year or 115x less because I host my sites on my own VPS
My VPS servers are way too big and usually

One thing thing about AI, for better and worse, is that "everything around me is somebody's life work" is no longer a true assumption going forward.

Every time I see a tweet saying “I can vibe code this in a weekend” - I think of the slack notification system..
It takes time, persistence and effort to get the details right.
Sure, a lot of simple workflows will get vibe coded away. And maybe you can put this in Claude Code

I've found myself writing:
"I don't know this area of code well. Go up a layer of abstraction. Give me a map of all the relevant modules and callers."
Might need a new skill here. What should I name it?

The more enterprises I talk to about AI agent transformation, the more it’s clear that there is going to be a new type of role in most enterprises going forward. The job is to be the agent deployer and manager in teams. Here’s the rough JD:

growing up is realizing 95% of AI evals are meaningless, fundamentally flawed, unscientific bullshit

People ask me how I choose what model to route queries to.
It's simple.
Claude gets knowledge work
anything below that would be degrading Claude
equivalent to having John von Neumann clean my toilet

@Vtrivedy10 Agreed, I've done it. It just forces me away from a daily driver

it’s def crazy expensive to run but more ppl should use it. they should open it up for like a week with some strict-ish limits, just for ppl to see how good it is
it’s an amazing deep planning model and understanding across domains model and also a good for a night-time Hail Mary before sleeping

ok I know we’re all hype + angry + skeptical about new Mythbro model but have we all tried gpt 5.4 pro?
it’s wicked good, I think most ppl haven’t used it bc it’s on OAI pro plan and API cost is 30/180 😭
is slow, incredibly smart, nothing rlly like it, spends a ton of inference compute and will solve hard problems other models fail at

As it commodifies, does it spread wide or deep? Does the public keep up with the breadth of knowledge or its depth?

renaissance rationalization is a process that commodified itself rapidly: despite the europeans discovering most technology during the early modern period it spread everywhere within a few centuries, and the rate of spread has been increasing dramatically knowledge of the

Never, ever, under any circumstances, ever, not once, no matter what, try to start the fucking dev server, it’s already fucking running.

You have no experience.
You’ve never started a company.
You’ve never had a full time job.
Nike is going to kill you.
You’re a kid.
You don’t have technical skills.
You shouldn’t build hardware.
Apple is going to kill you.
You can’t build hardware.
You can’t measure heart

The Model-Harness Training Loop
imo every great team in the world will use some version of this loop to build the best agents for their tasks
this is now possible because:
1. Harness Engineering is becoming more democratized and accessible (we want it to be even easier)
2. Open
