Announcing: DISCOBOT🤖🎉 My personal coding agent session manager. I built this for myself so I can vibe code faster. Watch the video, link to the project thread below. I'll be live streaming today at 10AM PT to fully demo it and talk about why I built it.

@ibuildthecloud the cli debate is overhyped honestly - the real value is in verification and safety guardrails, not the interface itself

I like Anthropics model and I like there Pro Max plan. I do not like claude code. It's annoying they have to play like this.

We need an agent eval that just focus on creating divs that properly scroll or text that properly truncates. These are by far the most challenging tasks.

We need adaptive models that switch from big, mini, nano on demand in the middle of completion. It's totally doable. Obviously requires new training data, but that's a solvable problem. I can mimic it with tool calls, but a proper trained model would be better.

@AdamPippert I have a lot more problems than that. But specifically why power? Assuming I can wire the right outlet. I know there something about amps, I need more of those. But assuming I can. Is there any other problem?

I'm so sick of dealing with token usage. Can I just buy an NVIDIA rack and put it in my garage? I am curious what it would cost to run something like kimi full strength. Obviously a lot, but still curious.

I dunno, I still don't run it. I don't get why I should. It only makes things worse. I think the only noticeable advantage of wayland is it's supposed to be tear free and more smooth animation. But I don't have significant issues with tearing in X11. Wayland is like systemd for me, the more I think about it the more irritated I get.

@ibuildthecloud Is it still crazy hard to capture screenshots from Wayland? I remember how zero apps could capture the screen in Wayland initially, because you had to write your own compositor or something, and it was by design

i don't even want to run kimi tbh. I just want codex or claude unlimited. So buying hardware doesn't help. I'm totally of the belief that local models don't make sense if you are talking about large ones, because by the time you have hardware fast enough it's cheaper to buy tokens.

@ibuildthecloud Why not look for various inference providers for Kimi K2.5 on openrouter.ai? You'll realize you need to burn a looooot of tokens before buying the hardware to self-host the same model in its full form becomes worth it financially

I don’t give a lot of compliments but the way Codex cli & app is designed so it reuses code (that anyone else can reuse as well) is really quite elegant. Elegant in a way that it could only be the result of an experienced & thoughtful team. Which is rare at their speed & scale.

@ibuildthecloud been writing code manually for 15 years. vibecoding only breaks down if your architecture is garbage, keep your agents isolated with git worktrees and it scales way better.

There's so many things wrong with vibe coding. Learn the skill, there's advantages. But there are also huge disadvantages. I'm telling you, the future of coding is going to look very close to what we do now, just with some better tools and approaches. It's a step improvement that will have a compounding effect. Not a hard switch to an unrecognizable future.

@thdxr Yep, but I don't think the black boxes will survive because of people like you.

but actually... it does it well. I know this only because I've used chatgpt to program roblox games which is all lua. The language is so simple it's kind of hard for it to get it wrong. But a big problem is that you want tools the validate the code and the no types makes that hard.

I think windows is actually a good platform for a openclaw style agent. I'll just leave that statement completely unsubstantiated.
