It's weird how much time I spend trying to get agents to write code like me
Maybe I should just write code...
English
@bentossell I think agents + better models replaced prompt engineering. Plan mode still optional
English
plans replaced prompt engineering right?
we do context engineering
and talk 'normally' to agents
but the plan is just what 'how to prompt X model' is

Trust is the invisible pmf/stickiness with the models. Subject to change at every release.
The probabilistic software era is very odd

Can't explain it, but I trust GPT-5.5 more than Opus 4.7 right now.

@dabit3 @MercedesBenz @DevinAI 🎯
There’s just so many people developing locally who have never used remotes environments

I've seen some claims that cloud agents aren't "ready" yet
meanwhile @MercedesBenz shipped a production migration they had scoped for 8 months in 8 days with @DevinAI
if you think cloud agents aren't ready yet you're probably just using the wrong one

people are walking around with their laptops slightly ajar to keep their agents running

Narrative violation: Finding it's more fun to work within Cursor than in the native Codex or Claude Code apps. Not a massive difference, but just enough to keep me there. And obviously easier to play with new competing models as they come out. Nice work, Cursor.

@lukas_kf Hey Lukas, does it work for Stripe Connect too?

@RocCityBuilt Montreal, Kyiv, Moscow, Bishkek, Tashkent are a few off the top of my head that know how to deal with snow and it is a shrug
English
Every time it snows I think of growing up in Florida and assuming everyone north of Virginia knew how to deal with it, and it was no big deal, and being disappointed at every place I've lived in: Baltimore (lol, worse than the south), NYC, and now Kingston NY.
In all my travels I've found maybe six regions in world where when it snows they 🤷♂️-- every other place, including most of US -- stuff just shuts up tight

@AzianMike Same thing with buying high ticket items off facebook marketplace.
At anytime you can instantly receive thousands of dollars and know it's secure. Instead of a huge wad of cash or a cashier's check.
If someone gave me $16k in counterfeit I don't think I would be able to tell.

Fun story on why this matters.
In 2019, I moved to the Bay Area. I needed a car so bought a used 2016 Toyota Rav4. Attempted to buy a car at least.
I walked into the dealership on a Saturday, test drove it, liked it, negotiated it, and decided to buy within 2-3 hours. Easy I thought, right?
Wrong. Final price was around $16,000. I wanted to pay in cash because used car loans have relatively high interest rates.
I had that cash liquid but it was spread across 3 accounts: a checking account, a savings account, and an investment account.
And they could only pull from 1 account. And I couldn't "combine" the money because ACH/Wires don't work on Saturdays.
So literally my only option to walk out the door with the keys that day was to take out a high interest used car loan with a local credit union. I made sure to read all the fine print (I was there til after closing lol) to make sure I could pay off the loan early without penalty.
I walked out the door with the keys that day (with a high interest loan). But the problem I had was I couldn't move money on a weekend. I don't care if it's ACH, Wire, Swift, Bitcoin, Tempo, Ethereum, Solana, etc rails. I just wanted that car. On that Saturday. And in that moment, on a Saturday, traditional finance couldn't keep up.
Unrelated but I couldn't pay off my loan for at least 30 days (apparently they need the first statement to hit before you can pay it off?!). So I had to pay 30 days worth of interest.

Introducing @Tempo. At Stripe, we care about high-throughput, low-latency payments use cases. As the use of stablecoins (and crypto more broadly) grows across Stripe, Bridge, and Privy, we found that existing blockchains are not optimized for them. For example, it's valuable for real-world financial applications that fees be denominated in a fiat currency that makes sense to the user, but existing blockchains denominate their fees in blockchain-specific tokens. Batch transfers are very useful in payments, but much less important in trading. Bitcoin does ~5 TPS; Ethereum does ~20 TPS, some (like Base and Solana) get to ~1k TPS, but Stripe peaks at >10k TPS. And so on. As such, we decided to incubate Tempo, a new blockchain, in partnership with Paradigm. We think of Tempo as the payments-oriented L1, optimized for high-scale, real-world financial services applications. Tempo is an independent company, with Stripe and Paradigm as the first investors. To ensure that Tempo serves a broad array of needs, we're excited to be working with Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, Lead Bank, Mercury, Nubank, OpenAI, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa as initial design partners. We will start with an independent and diverse validator set, and plan to move towards permissionless validation. Tempo will have a built-in stablecoin AMM to enable platform neutrality with respect to different stablecoins, and Stripe itself will of course continue to work with many chains as first-class partners. We hope that Tempo makes it easier for things like payment acceptance, global payouts, remittances, microtransactions, tokenized deposits, agentic payments, and more, to move onchain. The Tempo team is 15 people today, led by the terrific @matthuang. If you're interested in building Tempo, get in touch! And if you're interested in partnering, reach out to partners@tempo.xyz.
