Introducing Traces A new way to share and discover traces from coding agents, and a small step to make AI more multiplayer. Here's how it works:

it's been a longstanding dream of mine build an ai system that can tell a compelling story. it's what got me started in the space in the beginning, and with Hermes Agent I finally pulled it off 100% written, typeset, etc. by Hermes Agent those at our gtc event got hard copies🤗

@FounderEric @skanwar @chrislevan all good man, just having some laughs here, no ill will. respect for all your work

@skanwar @chrislevan @tarunsachdeva You guys make whatever you can out of it but the reality that can't be ignored is that Canada has the most number of startup programs but not much venture creation. Had over 10K+ folks who opened the list. May not be relevant to you @skanwar but it is for many.

you can't just count coffeeshops with wifi as accelerators

@ahmednadar yeah i see it as additive not a all out replacement yet

The shaping happens upstream now. Specs, guardrails, constraints, examples, that's where you shape the codebase. Then I let the agent work, have another model verify it, and review periodically myself. Not in the loop on every line, but watching the work. Feels more like directing than disconnected.

It could be that code review may be a temporary bottleneck today because chatting with an agent does not yet feel like "shaping" a codebase in the same way tangibly writing the code does, it is far too disconnected. An interesting design problem.

@skanwar @chrislevan might be the only one tbh

@chrislevan @tarunsachdeva I’m a Toronto accelerator

This is what I live for, these 2 random weeks before spring that Costco decides to sell fresh passionfruit straight from Zimbabwe

@BrennerSpear ah that's interesting how mileage is so varied

@tarunsachdeva I was talking about the native app

I'm trying to use Claude Cowork but having major performance issues. Yesterday I tried with highlighting rows in a Google sheet and doing it manually was faster. Tried Haiku, Sonnet & Opus. But it still feels like I'm holding this wrong. Anyone else having similar issues?

@BrennerSpear i wonder if its just the chrome extension, i'm gonna try in the native app too

@tarunsachdeva 1. Browser use is still slower than manual. You should only do it if you're thinking it's going to be done asynchronously 2. I don't think Claude Cowork is a product that's ready for use yet

@skanwar listen man i'm here for twitter points not intellectual honesty

@tarunsachdeva It’s like nobody actually opened the list lol

@maxoulos lolll

ya i design in code actually

2 things 1) Traces for Teams is coming soon 2) @remotion is amazing wow

@sergical @dillionverma thank you! great event, great tech, great people, amazing pies

one of my favourite parts of today was @dillionverma saying “this is exactly the type of event I wanted it to be” and people asking “when is the next one going to happen” privileged and grateful that we made it happen in such a short amount of time and it turned out pretty fucking cool thank you to @DanielGri , @mitsuhiko and @badlogicgames for joining from Austria thank you to @bentlegen, @tarunsachdeva and Alec for showing us some cool shit IRL thank you to @cairox100v, @newsystems_ and @internetvin for the space to do this thank you to @sentry for the pies thanks to my wife for all the help thanks to everyone showing up in person and joining the stream stay tuned for more

And here's the trace that led to this (in pi, ofcourse): traces.com/s/jn7cax2dzj65… (yeah, that session definitely started left field lol)

Just put this together for the Pi day demo at @newsystems_. GitHub here: github.com/tarunsachdeva/…

psh: a small natural-language shell wrapper powered by the pi agent by @badlogicgames - Type plain language and it translates to bash via pi -p. - Built-in safety + optional confirmation flow. - Optional bypass with `//`

@ahmednadar this is so cool Ahmed, didn’t you work on something like this at program Toronto last year??

Hey #Toronto، solveto.ca just got a major upgrade. Report any city issue in 30 seconds. Snap a photo, AI writes the report, it goes to 311 + your councillor simultaneously. Live map. 24 categories. Ward filters. All free. No app download. No account needed. 🧵

this thing is wild @realmcore_ @0xrandomlabs, nicely done
