@kunchenguid @GergelyOrosz This. Could even imagine this is baked into offer letters in the future for your allotted spend

@GergelyOrosz making a prediction - engineers will be “promoted” to have higher amounts of tokens to use, based on proven track record of delivering ROI this is just like a junior manager is only allowed to manage a few direct reports, and if they handled that well they get to manage more

There is massive irony in how AI coding tools are starting to become TOO expensive for many enterprises - after eg Anthropic removed subsidizing AI subscriptions. We might go from "everyone use AI for everything!" to "you have $300/month AI budget; use your brain for the rest."

how do u fix openclaw internal reasoning leaking

It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December and basically work since - the models have significantly higher quality, long-term coherence and tenacity and they can power through large and long tasks, well past enough that it is extremely disruptive to the default programming workflow. Just to give an example, over the weekend I was building a local video analysis dashboard for the cameras of my home so I wrote: “Here is the local IP and username/password of my DGX Spark. Log in, set up ssh keys, set up vLLM, download and bench Qwen3-VL, set up a server endpoint to inference videos, a basic web ui dashboard, test everything, set it up with systemd, record memory notes for yourself and write up a markdown report for me”. The agent went off for ~30 minutes, ran into multiple issues, researched solutions online, resolved them one by one, wrote the code, tested it, debugged it, set up the services, and came back with the report and it was just done. I didn’t touch anything. All of this could easily have been a weekend project just 3 months ago but today it’s something you kick off and forget about for 30 minutes. As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel. The biggest prize is in figuring out how you can keep ascending the layers of abstraction to set up long-running orchestrator Claws with all of the right tools, memory and instructions that productively manage multiple parallel Code instances for you. The leverage achievable via top tier "agentic engineering" feels very high right now. It’s not perfect, it needs high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration and hints and ideas. It works a lot better in some scenarios than others (e.g. especially for tasks that are well-specified and where you can verify/test functionality). The key is to build intuition to decompose the task just right to hand off the parts that work and help out around the edges. But imo, this is nowhere near "business as usual" time in software.

@thisisgrantlee This should be the gold standard for startups. Love to see it

8 years ago, I spent over $200k to exercise my startup options. I didn't have enough saved, so I took out a big loan. A few years later the company was acquired. Decent outcome. But after paying back the loan and taxes, my startup equity actually cost me money. The Wall Street Journal shared my story last week. That experience shaped how we built equity at Gamma. When we started the company, we made a vow: if Gamma succeeded, our team should share in that success. Without having to pay upfront. So we designed our equity program around it, including secondary opportunities with cashless exercise. As part of our Series B, we completed our first employee tender. $44M led by IVP. Our early team, anyone with vested options, was allowed to participate. Some have been with us for over five years. None of them had to take out a loan to share in what they helped build.

@cursor_ai @cursor_ai maybe next year a fun splash page? This just feels some engineer had a tight deadline before the holidays 🫠 (FWIW I definitely hammered opus the past month so surprised it’s empty)

Your year with Cursor. cursor.com/2025

@aidenybai GitHub, JIRA/Linear and Figma MCP are essential to me now. Waiting on Datadog to really build out some cool workflows for auto resolving bugs/incidents

does anyone actually use MCPs in Cursor / Claude Code?

What a time to be alive and be a hip hop fan

Wonder if the people in tech know who they’re referencing every time they say based

If you never illegally downloaded any of tonight’s songs from limewire, I don’t want your opinion on the halftime show.

@asidorenko_ Great post! One Q: If my client component uses useSWR, is it possible to use a server component to avoid exposing my bearer token to the client? From the docs it seems useSWR is only available in client components
