@VicVijayakumar you’re recomping. Progressive overload and dexa scan every 3-4 months.

how am i supposed to both build muscle as well as lose 10lbs of dad bod without being hungry all the time i'm tracking calories, working out 6 days a week, not snacking on absolute garbage, and for what it's worth - i'm not *gaining* weight i guess if i keep progressive overloading, something is happening so just keep doing it for a few more weeks?

Opus 4.5 is so good! Kiro-cli within neovim (while using with tmux), I prefer tmux because the session still lives if I want to reconnect outside of my neovim editor. github.com/sriram-mv/kiro…

@adibhanna I have the same one and love it!

this is the best keyboard money can buy

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Poor man's continuous learning: How to make agents better without fine-tuning or retraining. Over the last few months, I've been using a simple pattern that's made my agents noticeably more reliable and useful. It's also been the most fun I've had building in a while.

Lot of fun writing this one!

The simplest answer is, the pure cinema and adrenaline of it happening at 150 kmph.

Wow! Ashes (Eng vs Aus) this year seems like the most charged contest there will ever be.

TIL you need to stumble and wander for progress to happen. Serendipity is underrated.

@adibhanna That’s a how a human operates. “You” are the the input to the algorithm.

Rethinking my YouTube thing. Neovim and CLI tools have been fun, but I'm done talking exclusively about text editors and developer tools. I want to make videos about whatever I'm actually fascinated by—physics, math, philosophy, coding concepts, whatever—following curiosity over the algorithm. This might be bad for "growth," but it's actually better for my mental health and overall happiness.

@typecraft_dev This is such a wonderful book. Hat tip to @sanathkr_

Looking forward to this

Complex orchestration frameworks for AI agents - state machines, workflows, error handling - seem necessary. But what if they're actually holding back what modern LLMs can do?

Relentlessly iterate.

@adibhanna One thing that its telling me, it's the revival of the simple unix shell. Meeting practitioners where they're at. At the closest level of abstraction.

Every week we get a new AI tool: Warp, Claude code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent, Codex... This is becoming like the weekly "new JavaScript framework" thing back in the days.

Can’t wait for what’s cooking!

@adibhanna We need more beautiful and functional TUI in this world!

I built a timer tracker that runs in your terminal. It's inspired by my physical timer that I use to stay focused. It's minimal, snappy, and built with Go/bubbletea github.com/adibhanna/focu…

how to build your first AI agent:

In the agentic AI era, well-crafted CLIs matter more than ever - serving both humans and autonomous agents with precision. ✅ Treat CLI output formats as stable API contracts ✅ Adopt MCP protocol for agent integration from day one 🔗 bit.ly/4fLxptU #InfoQ #APIdesign

@adibhanna “With my”

@adibhanna Ain’t a CLI. But loving this my amethyst setup. github.com/FelixKratz/Jan…

share a less known CLI tool that you love using.
