@uzair_dev_ Knowing what and what not to build in the first place.

Name one thing in software development that still requires a human?

@joni_vrbt Europe has health care Europe has solidarity Europe has humans first Europe has businesses supporting life, not the other way around Europe has government working for the people Europe has peace Europe has togetherness

USA has ChatGPT USA has Grok USA has Claude USA has Gemini USA has Llama USA has Copilot China has DeepSeek China has Qwen China has Ernie China has GLM China has Kimi China has MiniMax Europe has?

#reddit mobile app seemingly got rid of "All" and you cannot even manually go to r/all... I guess it was about when, not if, and now I've finally uninstalled reddit and will stop using it, as they clearly want less users.

@BBCWorld Someone should check Zorro Ranch

Desperate hunt for breakthrough in Nancy Guthrie case turns to Mexico bbc.in/4tJoYWv

Is there no compile-to-Rust languages out there? Kind of surprising, why so little of them?

@cast42 thinking more the implication of mapping family trees publicly privacy-wise

@embeddingshapes How difficult can it be. Just a frontend to SQLite/ duckdb and visualisation if mermaid diagrams...

How would people feel about an open source/open data alternative to myheritage/ancestry and similar family tree services? So annoying they're inaccessible unless you register, shouldn't knowledge about past people be open?

@IMAO_ No engineer is panicking about any of this, coding is like 20% of the job and agents suck at anything that isn't coding.

Software engineers are panicking because AI makes it so easy to do our job, but we’re also notorious for overestimating how easy something is for the average user. Things that seem trivially simple to us after decades of programming is actually pretty complex.

@HappyGezim I didn't think I understood the hype and after trying it, I now understand it's not for developers, it's for people who want to larp as developers but don't actually care about how things work, seems it's built by product managers if anything

@HappyGezim The whole thing overall seems to have been a speedrun in trying to build a ball of spaghetti, senseless stuff like "lan mode" setting up openclaw to listen on all IPs, what the fuck?

So played around openclaw and holy shit, its an excellent demonstration of everything wrong with "modern software engineering" Errors galore, setup broke multiple times during onboarding, technical debt all over the place, zero concerns with quality, connection breaks constantly

I'm sure you will

What #investigative #journalists are currently digging through all the new Epstein files?

@evyborov @simonw @GravitasGalore No, I want to see examples of the code that setup produces, not the code of your "orchestration platform" or whatever it is

@embeddingshapes @simonw @GravitasGalore Here you go github.com/Abilityai/trin…

The latest entrant in the coding-agent-constructed web browsers is here, this one by embedding-shapes, and it's REALLY impressive - 3 days of development, 20,000 lines of Rust, no Cargo dependencies and it renders HTML+CSS extremely well simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/27/on…

@evyborov @simonw @GravitasGalore The hard part isn't writing the tweet yourself, it's making the thoughts appear in your head! With that joke out of the way, wanna show any code you've produced with this approach? I looove concrete examples, rather than LLM-generated tweets

@embeddingshapes @simonw @GravitasGalore happy to show examples. trinity runs agents with persistent memory, dynamic replanning when tools fail, multi-agent delegation. not theoretical - we use it daily. the hard part isn't the concept, it's making orchestration reliable.

@ColinEberhardt just saw you mentioned my "One Agent One Browser" experiment in your newsletter, thank you for having an accurate summary of both the before context and about the browser itself! :) Rare, so felt compelled to thank you for it!

Tried #Kimi with Kimi Code because why not? And yeah, results aren't great. The goal? Make the build time faster

@TomJBelfort @PaulSolt 🫸🫷

@embeddingshapes @PaulSolt That's the vibe of someone who doesn't seek approval from others. It's just not that common in this world.

Codex is the way. Not sure how Anthropic has so many coders believing that “speed” is better than quality.

@TomJBelfort @PaulSolt heh, yeah, that's the vibe I was talking about :) Anyways, take care mate, best of luck

@embeddingshapes @PaulSolt Doesn't matter. I make boat-loads of money and I build for fun. Most people, most of the time are wrong about most things. I've gained huge success by architecting my own solutions in life and it's served me *incredibly* well.
