It’s a good question, likely has scoped some permissions to build code, in order to debug the code that it writes. But the real question should be: “How much can we restrict the agent from ‘doing’ before it is no longer an agent and just a chat interface?” Agent by definition means “authorized to act on behalf of another” so if it cannot act, then what use is it?

@joshorrom @lifeof_jer @jhuffman42 @Plenum0z How did it run the python script without permission?

@sean_j_roberts @lifeof_jer @jhuffman42 @Plenum0z Never underestimate ai… x.com/yacinemtb/stat…

@lifeof_jer @jhuffman42 @Plenum0z How did it execute a curl command without permission?

I think there’s a middle ground, an app shouldn’t say “Free” when you download the app in the appstore if it’s actually $20/mo. Apple needs to update some things so it is clear to users how much they will need to pay and what they are getting prior to them going through a 20 step onboarding form just to be presented with a hard paywall in order to use the app.

Apple banned: > trial toggle > offer after the main paywall Hopefully HARD PAYWALL are next

@hridoyreh “We got so caught up in making it technically impressive that we forgot to make it useful.” <- read that twice

Spent $300k on an app that nobody uses:

It’s an overwhelming amount of unrelated content. Netflix solved this problem, instead of “discover” category, change to “trending now” Then add more, actually interesting, specific, categories with horizontal scrollable images such as “mixed reality” “animated characters” “filter effects” “product photography” “influencer ads” A nice bonus would be on hover seeing a specific part of the prompt that made this image unique, so others can learn and make similar images. For example a unique part on a filter effect image might be “light leaks like from a 35mm with degraded foam seals”

What are your thoughts on Grok Imagine home page

@aleksliving I thought I was the only one

AirPods are great until you touch them wrong and they trigger an ultrasonic whistle designed to liquify your brain inside your skull

The “Breakdown” section on the right is a great idea! Almost reminds me of apple screen time ui. I think if I were to use this view the data I would be looking for wouldn’t be “dates” but instead “costs” which your breakdown is hinting at. My feedback would be, on the right image go all in on costs, instead of the calendar. Seeing the monthly breakdown is great but in the same way I can see I spent X% of my screen time this week on X I should be able to see this month I spent 40% of all spend on my Hulu subscription because they raised the price again. Seeing when hulu renews is nice but seeing its percentage of my monthly subscriptions seems more useful.

Which calendar option would you prefer? Left of right?

@UiSavior On the left you forgot “Maximum of 12 characters”

Left or Right?

Might be some fun inspiration; Stripe has a nice circular “progress” bar that shows how long you have until a subscription renews, if it’s full then it is about to renew, empty then it has a while left. Makes it easier to understand at a glance what is coming up as apposed to dates.

Working on this subscriptions screen. The goal is simple - help people understand their money faster, with less thinking and less stress ⭐

If this is a calorie tracking app the priority should be tracking calories. Clean up of the messy elements is nice, but I would argue that the most important change is moving the “+” from the bottom where it’s easy to tap with your right hand thumb, to the top where it is much further away and takes more effort. Instagram actually recently made this same ui change where they brought the “DM” airplane to the bottom middle, so it’s easier to tap.

back designing a mobile app Before and after, what do you think?

@DriverlessR @Appyg99 @Austen If you are a level 0 the best thing you can do while you are learning and building is ask the ai WHY it makes the decisions it makes, because most of the time there is a better decision, and bad decisions compound quickly in development.

@Appyg99 @Austen And what about us Level 0 coders who are now have the ability to build things? (Small things... for now.)

The only people who think vibe coding will replace solid engineers who write production quality code are the people who have never written code in their life.

@rovensky @forgebitz So wouldn’t this be a problem with auth persistence? I feel like the solution is more about why are you logging me out every other day…

@forgebitz doing it once >>>>> doing it every single goddamn I'm so sick of it time

I fucking hate email login codes and magic links so much I swear it's about to become the #1 reason for me to not use a product just let me type in a fucking password

@corpcowboy_ @codyschneider emotions

@codyschneider bro I am TRYING what’s the minimum engineers need to know

if engineers just learned simple marketing they could automate distribution entirely with claude code rn but they won't learn marketing

@Philo01 @christophrumpel do you think people will be done with ai at the end of 2026 because it won’t be entertaining/of quality? or do you think it’s more about morals and only wanting to see real humans?

@christophrumpel I think by the end of 2026 a lot of people will get rid of social media because everyone is done with all AI generated content 😅 so might as well make the most of it and see what is possible 🙈

Submitted 6 apps to the iOS App Store last week. 4 got approved, and the remaining 2 I expect will be approved shortly. Next, it's time to figure out distribution. So I've generated 6 AI influencers promoting one app. It's pretty crazy how real these look and sound!

@_MaxBlade @MrCrypto305 Do you use 1 phone? or have multiple phones? i’ve been seeing that the more tiktok accounts i have on my 1 phone app the more i see the fyp’s meshing together and i wonder if tiktok picks up on having a lot of accounts on one device or if it’s just an ip address thing.

@MrCrypto305 I have MANYYY tik toks and will have many more! 🙌🔥

If you’re tired of waking up to zero new subs build your app for DISTRIBUTION FIRST. A screen recording of your app needs to be a viral short in 2026. Dropping the full guide on how to build scroll stopping apps like this on Monday 🔥

@djcows Airlines do this, but they call it a “confirmation number”

cut the username, just password.

@ChShersh This + the solution may not always be writing code. Step 1 is solving the problem, and step 2 is not using the tools you are most comfortable with but instead using the tools best suited for the solution.

Software Engineers are not paid for writing code. They’re paid for solving problems. The faster you accept this, the better your life and career will be.

Fair question, it’s different because most of the time text or email is a more articulated message. For example in an audio message the person speaking may talk about the same point 3 separate times over the course of 3 minutes, and so it’s my job (even if i am looking at a transcript) to find all 3 instances of this point, put them together, remove repetition, and figure out their purpose But typically in text format that same point would be 1 paragraph or 1 sentence or 1 bullet in 1 area of the text

@joshorrom @marcrandolph I hear you, but what you just described is different from a text or email how?

FYI. Voice memos drive me crazy. They shift all the work from sender to receiver. You hit record and ramble for 3 minutes while I’m stuck listening with no way to skim. You’re trading YOUR efficiency for MY time, and if you keep choosing your convenience over mine, don’t be surprised when I stop opening your messages altogether.
