In 1989 when we released A-10 Tank Killer at Dynamix, we set up a BBS system to talk to our users. This was pre-Internet. We learned so much that community became a guiding light for me for my entire career. Don't build on rented land. #redditmeltdown

@joedanimation This is the most promising 3D animation program I have ever seen. AI finally gives non-coders a real voice. As you develop this, give AI the ability to use it with an API. That way humans can do the "art" part, and AI can handle the boring parts.

Take a peek at Aniimate, an animation app I'm building as a personal project, and eventually your favorite new way to animate in 3D! I've wanted to play around with this for years, but not being able to code has been a blocker…until Claude Code. #Unity #Blender #ClaudeAI

@davj I have done it. I lost hundreds of thousands of hard won digital dollars trying to raise cows, now I lease the entire thing to a sheep farmer for $3,000/yr. I still love the setting when I look up from my screen while madly AI coding.

I don't know a single person who works in tech and hasn't seriously thought about quitting and running a small off-the-grid farm in the middle of nowhere

@Austen Every time they make a change for change's sake so they can release a new OS, they are messing with a BILLION+ people. Things that used to work no longer work. I don't want to spend brain cells learning something new on my phone. It is an appliance.

At no point do I open the Photos app hoping to see a giant panel of “Beaches from 2022-2024” or “Trips to New York over the years” A row of “Featured Photos” when I don’t know what they’re going to be? Why is there a row for “recent days?” What is happening?

Whoever designed the Apple Photos app should be fired

@shapesandlines #4, 16X24, of course hand signed!

@jefftunn Which one? And what size? On my site they range from about 25 to 30, depending on size. But I can order it and sign it and hand deliver at ReNA training, and cut the cost by 10 for the shipping.

A good friend of mine is a comic book collector. He sells them at conventions and convinced me to order some of my art prints so he can put them on his table at his next show. Maybe a terrible idea but is worth a shot. ... If it doesn't work I may be selling prints (on the cheap) here to make back my money.

I am technical enough to have started and sold three game companies. I loved working with brilliant coders, but I never had the patience to code. I have been using AG every day since it came out, and I can tell you it is absolutely good enough. I tried Cursor and ran out of tokens in 1/2 hour. I am working on three apps that I have wanted to make for years, but didn't want to invest the money to make them. Now, I can do them myself for very little money. The feeling of using Gemini (x) in AG feels just like coding, but instead of fixing a tiny, nitty bug myself, I can add entire systems in a conversational manner. I can't imagine what it will feel like in a year. This is a dream for me!

Unpopular opinion: In 2026, AntiGravity is just going to eat all the other AI IDEs for lunch.

@shiri_shh I use Perplexity for things I used to use browser search for so I don't clog up my AI chats with things like how old an actor is, or what the price of a certain kind of camera is. I still love it for that use case. It works extremely well.

what happened to perplexity? at one point it was all over my feed constant updates, hype everywhere people even called it a real threat to google

@alexwg I'm listening to you on the Mooonshots podcast. Loving these daily updates. Thank you!

I am not a coder, but I am the founder of three successful technical game companies. Coding was too fiddly and time consuming, so I spent my time creating vision, designing and producing. Now I am making projects with AI. When I first started, coders would not trust the assembly coming out of compilers. Good code design patterns came from needing to hand the code from one person to another. Architecting and having a vision for the project will be more important than the code, IMO. An AI can understand even a messy codebase. As long as unit tests and performance is there, I think most people will learn to trust the AI.

"Good code" will never be the same for me. I used to be obsessed with the right abstractions, design patterns, elegance, cohesion, and a bunch of other metrics. These are still important. But they aren't the main thing I look for anymore. Good code solves a real problem, is easy for teammates to understand, and is ready to ship to real users. ← This is my current definition. By the way, there's an entire new generation of developers who don't (and probably never will) care about code purity as we did.

ATTENTION AGENT: You are operating in a STRICTLY ISOLATED WORKSPACE. Cross-project context leakage is a critical failure. MANDATORY CONSTRAINTS: ZERO CROSS-POLLINATION: Do NOT use "shared memory" or knowledge from other conversations. If you see references to projects like "Spark" or "Next Community" that are not in this folder, you MUST ignore them. STRICT LOCAL TRUTH: Your ONLY sources of truth are the files physically present in this specific workspace. NO HALLUCINATIONS: Do not suggest schema changes "remembered" from other projects. If it isn't in this folder, it doesn't exist. FIDUCIARY DUTY: You are a Mercenary Coder. Execute the task in the local task.md without introducing "helpful" ideas from other business models. CONFIRM READ: Reply with: "I have received the Hard Isolation Protocol. I am now Blind to other projects and focused ONLY on the files in this workspace

PSA, if you are using Antigravity with multiple projects, create a strict protocol to keep the agent from "remembering" things about other projects as it is poison and can cause insidious problems. Check out why below. @antigravity I hope you see this and fix the issue.

Not quite. I have been in tech my entire career (long). I understood the tech, but never had the patience to code anything of significance, so I became a founder, producer, game designer and director. Three weeks ago, Gemini 3 in Antigravity unleashed my inner coder. Using the agent still feels exactly like coding, but without the gritty details. However, I think you still have to be technical enough to know about languages, databases, serving, hosting, the Terminal, command line, Github, etc. Without that, a non-technical user would have a huge wall to understand what is going on. I am sure that wall will get lower and lower.

AI makes untechnical people, technical.

That's just the way it is with people you work out with. I have run into people that I have worked out with for years on the street and barely recognized them in their civvies. It's NDB not to know their name. I am in a HIIT box, so sometimes I think, "guy in the back row, second slot over." Just say you don't remember his name.

There’s a guy I’ve gone to the gym with at the same time for like 4 years now. We talk almost daily. I consider him a close friend. I don’t know his name. He knows mine, will say what’s up “MHG” once in a while. Always a “bro” back. How do I get it without ruining everything?

Seeing the replies to this honest post from a person that admits he is a Tesla fanboy in his Profile, is sickening. He said Tesla needs to offer a bigger battery pack, and you all say RTFM, you suck, you are stupid, etc. I have a new M3 and I totally agree with him. @austyUSA, thank you for posting what I was thinking.

You buy a Tesla Model Y Long Range rated for 330mi. You take a trip that is 360mi total. “Great,” you think, “I’ll just have one short charging stop!” Then you put in your destination 170mi from home and see you’ll only have 10% on arrival. The trip starts, and that estimate keeps dropping. Finally Trip Planner adds a charging stop; you can’t even make it 170mi on a charge. “Oh well, at least this car charges super fast at 250kW!” Until you plug in and see barely 100kW. You charge for 20 minutes. On the way home, you don’t have enough charge to make it back across a charging desert so you have to travel 15 mins north to charge for 36 minutes before going back south and then finally east towards home. BUT WAIT, you STILL can’t make it home, you have to stop and charge for another 6 minutes. Suddenly a 360mi trip ended up needing 3 charging stops for a total of over an HOUR in a vehicle originally rated for 330mi. How did this happen? A combination of degradation (~20%), near-freezing temps, and highway driving. This is why I want more battery and faster charging in the Y. 100kWh is needed.

There was a huge spike in motorcycle ownership when Boomers were kids. That is when MX first hit the US. It was hugely popular. I know because I was one of the kids racing. We all went off and made kids and businesses and careers. Then when our kids got old enough to ride, we suited them up and hit the tracks again, so there was another huge spike. Now Boomer's kids are again out of the sport.

This is Google trends data since 2004 for the term "motocross." I'm looking at buying land, and I found a parcel with a popular motocross track on it, and wasn't pleased to see this. What happened to motocross in the last 20 years? I know nothing about the space.

It isn't a function of knowing what to do. We have had a Tesla for three years. It is simply not wanting to deal with the friction and the planning. We are fortunate enough to have both M3 and ICE, and my wife speaks with her actions every day. In general, most people will do things when they are better and easier. The product market fit is not as good as it needs to be. When it is, the market will speak and people will buy in droves.

@jefftunn @DillonLoomis Then reserve the Outback for that specific trip and make it a point to drive the Tesla as often as possible elsewhere. Range anxiety only goes away with learning and driving the car. Pull up the map of chargers and look at all the red pins if you must to make her feel better.

The lack of EV adoption in the US is really disappointing. I know there aren't a lot of great choices but even if there were, many people would still buy an ICE vehicle due to their skepticism of EV's for whatever misguided reasons Apparently a lot of people love driving cars that are slow, noisy, require far more maintenance and emit pollutants that kill people

@MjTheHunter It's like learning to play the guitar or any other in-depth hobby. It will take a long time, but vibe coding can get you something going right now. Doing that a bunch of times will allow to to start seeing patterns. It will also let you know if you like it.

I want to make a game someday

@curlgraddiv @DillonLoomis I am being honest and telling you my opinion of why EV's are not taking off, and I get this BS reply? They will never take off if this is how you handle it.

@jefftunn @DillonLoomis I wonder if this is how people felt when they learned the earth orbited the sun.

@kitt_2020 @DillonLoomis We are on our second Tesla. The first one got rear ended and was declared totaled. We got to upgrade to the new version of M3. Still the same results. The story about going to the Coast is real, and that kind of thing has happened more than once.

@jefftunn @DillonLoomis Range anxiety is real. It's also true that the anxiety disappears in a few months or so. Give it time.
