@robj3d3 This makes Chiang Mai not really a viable option to live in full time, which is unfortunate considering how nice the city is. I remember once there seeing a dude driving his motorbike and smoking a cigarette when AQI was like 300🤦‍♂️

The air quality where you live matters more than you think. And I just found out about this the hard way. I'm in Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭 and every March there's a 'burning season' here where farmers burn their fields to clear land for new crops. The air quality was fine until about 3 days ago. Then suddenly the sky went gray overnight and you stopped being able to see the mountains beyond the smog. Every time I leave the house I cannot stop sneezing. So I got myself an air filtration system and now wear a taped-on N95 mask whenever I go outside. Claude says without the mask I'd be breathing ~52 µg/m³ of PM2.5, and with the mask I'm breathing closer to 4-8 µg/m³ with a proper seal. (for context WHO's 24-hour "safe" guideline is 15 µg/m³) Obviously the long-term solution is to leave, which I'm doing next week. But I can't believe some people actually live like this. 95% of people on the street don't wear a mask. In fact, I'm the weirdo in the mask! And then you have cities like New Delhi that sit upwards of 52 µg/m³ year-round! Insane. If you live somewhere with good air quality, take time to be grateful. If you don't, you need to start caring more about your lung health and do something! You can find out the AQI (Air Quality Index) of where you live with a quick Google search.

@juemrami @karpathy

@karpathy Bro you can say all this without RTing a damn gambling site.

CLIs are super exciting precisely because they are a "legacy" technology, which means AI agents can natively and easily use them, combine them, interact with them via the entire terminal toolkit. E.g ask your Claude/Codex agent to install this new Polymarket CLI and ask for any arbitrary dashboards or interfaces or logic. The agents will build it for you. Install the Github CLI too and you can ask them to navigate the repo, see issues, PRs, discussions, even the code itself. Example: Claude built this terminal dashboard in ~3 minutes, of the highest volume polymarkets and the 24hr change. Or you can make it a web app or whatever you want. Even more powerful when you use it as a module of bigger pipelines. If you have any kind of product or service think: can agents access and use them? - are your legacy docs (for humans) at least exportable in markdown? - have you written Skills for your product? - can your product/service be usable via CLI? Or MCP? - ... It's 2026. Build. For. Agents.

@marclou i feel like docker is prolly good for some specific type of problem but that it's being over-used and pushed everywhere

I made $2M with my websites and still don't know what docker is

Recommended Sunday reading: How to Do Great Work by Paul Graham The kind of reading that makes you talk loud by yourself like "ahhaaaa", "oh yeah thats true" 😂 paulgraham.com/greatwork.html

Something new I've been hacking on: draw directly on your interface and leave annotations that agents can see and understand. Opens up a really natural/freeform way to iterate.

@karpathy @lauriewired What a time to be alive to witness these kind of discussions on internet, love it

@lauriewired Grandma certainly shouldn’t have to know apps or that there is an app. Her LLM agent should.

Very interested in what the coming era of highly bespoke software might look like. Example from this morning - I've become a bit loosy goosy with my cardio recently so I decided to do a more srs, regimented experiment to try to lower my Resting Heart Rate from 50 -> 45, over experiment duration of 8 weeks. The primary way to do this is to aspire to a certain sum total minute goals in Zone 2 cardio and 1 HIIT/week. 1 hour later I vibe coded this super custom dashboard for this very specific experiment that shows me how I'm tracking. Claude had to reverse engineer the Woodway treadmill cloud API to pull raw data, process, filter, debug it and create a web UI frontend to track the experiment. It wasn't a fully smooth experience and I had to notice and ask to fix bugs e.g. it screwed up metric vs. imperial system units and it screwed up on the calendar matching up days to dates etc. But I still feel like the overall direction is clear: 1) There will never be (and shouldn't be) a specific app on the app store for this kind of thing. I shouldn't have to look for, download and use some kind of a "Cardio experiment tracker", when this thing is ~300 lines of code that an LLM agent will give you in seconds. The idea of an "app store" of a long tail of discrete set of apps you choose from feels somehow wrong and outdated when LLM agents can improvise the app on the spot and just for you. 2) Second, the industry has to reconfigure into a set of services of sensors and actuators with agent native ergonomics. My Woodway treadmill is a sensor - it turns physical state into digital knowledge. It shouldn't maintain some human-readable frontend and my LLM agent shouldn't have to reverse engineer it, it should be an API/CLI easily usable by my agent. I'm a little bit disappointed (and my timelines are correspondingly slower) with how slowly this progression is happening in the industry overall. 99% of products/services still don't have an AI-native CLI yet. 99% of products/services maintain .html/.css docs like I won't immediately look for how to copy paste the whole thing to my agent to get something done. They give you a list of instructions on a webpage to open this or that url and click here or there to do a thing. In 2026. What am I a computer? You do it. Or have my agent do it. So anyway today I am impressed that this random thing took 1 hour (it would have been ~10 hours 2 years ago). But what excites me more is thinking through how this really should have been 1 minute tops. What has to be in place so that it would be 1 minute? So that I could simply say "Hi can you help me track my cardio over the next 8 weeks", and after a very brief Q&A the app would be up. The AI would already have a lot personal context, it would gather the extra needed data, it would reference and search related skill libraries, and maintain all my little apps/automations. TLDR the "app store" of a set of discrete apps that you choose from is an increasingly outdated concept all by itself. The future are services of AI-native sensors & actuators orchestrated via LLM glue into highly custom, ephemeral apps. It's just not here yet.

@afiqsazlan I think you are right that doubling down on coding is not the way forward. But software engineering is so much more than coding. At it's core it's about problem solving, designing systems, understanding users and their needs etc.

I'm rethinking my career as a software engineer. The more I use AI in my daily work, the more I don't think doubling down on coding is the way forward. I do feel I'm doing more product management, but I don't think that's the way forward either. Should I consider AI/ML science or engineering? Can anyone recommend books that offer a framework for figuring out where to pivot your career?

Some ideas just seem so obvious in hindsight. I really love this tool. Hopefully I won't need to post another screenshots in the agent chat and hope that it's going to understand what I want to edit 😃

@thdxr finally someone that has grasp of how reality looks like

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

Well RIP 🤣🤣

So cool to see some traffic on the tomorrowland lineup explorer app I made 👀

WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN?>?>?>??

Try it out here 🕺 lineup-scout.vercel.app

Excited for Tomorrowland? I made this app to explore the artists of the lineup and play some of their music. Find the sets you don't want to miss! Link below.

@astrooed Bra initiativ! Jag är intresserad. Gör mest webb appar för stunden men har varit sugen på att testa skapa mobilappar ett tag nu. Skulle vara kul med ett community för kan bli rätt ensamt att bygga själv. 😄

@Grummz Where in your quoted tweet does it state that game programming is easy and trivial?

Why do web devs always think game programming is easy and trivial. Game programming is some of the hardest programming around. Engine programming even more so. It's right up there.
