Update: Couldn't stop losing my best AI prompts. Talked AI into helping me build PromptFolio. Still can't draw...

My first iOS app is live! I got tired of losing track of which prompts actually worked across different models and platforms. So I built PromptFolio. apps.apple.com/us/app/promptf…

@capitalweather We so badly need the rain in Arlington VA. But we always fall victim to the DC hole that pushes storms north and south 😭

So far, most storminess south/east of Beltway. Heavy storm around Upper Marlboro meandering. Additional scattered storms likely develop or move in from west. Example of what radar may look like late eve here. Updated forecast at capitalweather.com or Capital Weather app.

@Shpigford Surprised it wasn't triggered by you making a game related to organisms. Mine was 😭

super confused on fable. been using it for the past few hours to build souplings.fun and it hasn't triggered any security downgrades and also is barely using any tokens. which...great. but also 🤔

Making a game about a microbial life and couldn't wait to use Fable on it... blocked first try. I clearly didn't think this one through 😑

@JJEnglert Sonnet 5 keeps telling me to just paste my API keys in the chat- whereas previous versions of the model, and other company's models, all will go out of their way to find a save way to add API keys to a project.

Sonnet 5 vs. Opus 4.8 The price gap is real: Sonnet 5 runs $2/$10 per million tokens through August, then $3/$15. Opus 4.8 is $5/$25. That's roughly 40-60% cheaper depending on when you're reading this. Use Sonnet 5 when: - Daily, busy work: slides, internal docs, first drafts, status write-ups - Automations or agents running at volume, where the price gap compounds fast over hundreds or thousands of runs - You want speed over deliberation. It gets to the point instead of thinking for 5 minutes first - Basically anything outside pure engineering, especially if your team actually feels the API bill Use Opus when: - The task needs restraint: refactors, sensitive client work, anything where a model that's too confident can do real damage - It's genuinely high-stakes, where a mistake costs more than what you'd save on tokens - You need the deepest, most deliberate reasoning available and you're fine paying for it - You haven't tested Sonnet 5 on that exact task type yet and the downside of being wrong is high Still testing. If you've run your own Opus comparison, send it my way.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5, our most agentic Sonnet yet. It makes plans, uses tools like browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously at a level that just a few months ago required larger and more expensive models.

Anyone out there using the X API been able to solve this issue? (plenty of people in the Dev Forum have reported it over time): Pay-Per-Use app returning 401 on all auth methods

@emollick And why only the US? If things are this scary, why aren't other countries trying to control the model releases?

It would be very useful to understand more about the government safety concerns associated with frontier AI releases so we could (a) know what risks everyone will face if/when open source reaches Mythos class & (b) whether they are doing enough or too much to prevent those risks.

What if Claude Code could improve your prompt before it's sent? A lightweight "Refine" concept that uses the project context Claude already has to turn rough ideas into clearer tasks. The best clarification is the one you never need.

To animate something like this (show the tape wheels spinning, the tape in window reduces on one side, grows on the other, the exposed tape maybe shows a reflection at times to make you think it's moving)- what would be the software of choice? AI or manual. 🙏

So now I'm doing what I should've done from the start — two weeks of manual testing across all three agents, just me at the keyboard, tracking every session. Does it checkpoint? Does it restore? Real data, not automated test harnesses.

The challenge I didn't expect: agents don't follow instructions every time. They read them, understand them, can quote them back — and still skip the checkpoint because the edit "felt simple." This isn't a tm bug. It's an LLM reliability thing.

@LyalinDotCom and @OfficialLoganK Sorry to bother you- hope things are well. I don't know where to turn for help with Antigravity. I'm an Ultra subscriber but every single prompt fails. Anyone you can offer to help? Ok- love you. bye.

@mikelaaron git stash before every ai session became muscle memory for exactly this reason the worst is when it 'helpfully' standardizes your error handling across 30 files... technically correct but now you have a 2000 line diff to review for a one-line bug fix

We're all building apps FOR humans to use AI. But what about apps that AI uses... that happen to have a human interface? Here’s what I mean 🧵

Before I go deep, I want to know: • Does this problem resonate? • Would your agent benefit from self-awareness tools? • What am I missing? Roast it, improve it, or tell me it’s dumb. #buildinpublic

So Codex and I are building Agent Time Machine: Not a human tool that wraps AI commands. An MCP server that AI agents USE. Agents checkpoint themselves. Agents inspect their own diffs. Agents can roll back if they drift. Agent-first. Human-second.
