🚀 After an amazing time at Stellate, I've decided to start a new business. I've founded expand.ai, and we're in the current YC batch - S24! For techies: expand.ai instantly turns any website into a type-safe API you can rely on. 💻 For non-techies: We get you any dataset from the web. 📊

The quality of your life (and business) is determined by how many uncomfortable conversations you're willing to have.

@capajj @opencode Haha do you really benefit from 1 million context window? The models I'm using (GPT-5.4, Opus 4.6) start getting dumb > 500k tokens, forget things all the time, repeat themselves

oss becomes the new soc 2. once an upstream provider (like openclaw) is oss, all its shipped components need to be oss as well.

Starting coding agents is slow. Every isolated coding agent session starts the same way: clone, install, build, wait. Then do it all again next session. In Cave, I built a feature called auto-build that eliminates this entirely, inspired by a conversation with @TimSuchanek about his approach to agentic engineering. His thinking shaped the final design big time! Auto-build asynchronously pre-builds a ready-to-use checkpoint on every commit to your main branch. Your provisioning script runs as part of it: install dependencies, build your project, even build Docker containers. When you need a new session, it's ready in seconds.

Coding agents shouldn't run on a laptop. That's why I've been building Cave. It's a self-hosted platform for running @opencode agents in isolated sandboxes on your own server. You give it a GitHub repo, it creates an isolated sandbox, clones the code, sets everything up, and gives you a coding agent. Check in from your phone, run multiple agents side by side. It's not open source yet (it will be), but I'm opening a private beta so you can install it on your own server already. I've been dogfooding it since day one. If you're running a software factory: multiple agents working in parallel across repos, Cave gives you one place to monitor and manage all of it. Now, I'm looking for people who want to give it a spin. DM me, happy to set you up 😊 🚀

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting. I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day. There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer." Simon Willison (@simonw) is one of the most prolific independent software engineers and most trusted voices on how AI is changing the craft of building software. He co-created Django, coined the term "prompt injection," and popularized the terms "agentic engineering" and "AI slop." In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 🔸 Why November 2025 was an inflection point 🔸 The "dark factory" pattern 🔸 Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are the most at risk right now 🔸 Three agentic engineering patterns he uses daily: red/green TDD, thin templates, hoarding 🔸 Why he writes 95% of his code from his phone while walking the dog 🔸 Why he thinks we're headed for an AI Challenger disaster 🔸 How a pelican riding a bicycle became the unofficial benchmark for AI model quality Listen now 👇 youtu.be/wc8FBhQtdsA

@thdxr Need to deslop it and get permission to release it (was made using company resources), but I’ve been using it to run my dev env since last week and it’s quite nice!

I like the idea of "Token Factory" but hmm. I'm really confused here what to choose.

To quote from my keynote at Vercel's internal offsite: Software is free as in puppies. It will pee in your bedroom and eat your furniture. The weight of every line of code is real. We will need to maintain it. We will need to port it. It goes into the context window. And somebody in this room will get paged at 2am because it did something unexpected
