Week 2: I flew to Amsterdam.
Not to meet the team, well sort of to meet the team, but also TO GO LIVE.
"WebStorm 2026.1 Is Out — Let's Break It Down Live" — 51 minutes, the JetBrains Amsterdam office, week two on the job. 10K+ views.
While I was there I also sat down with @wordmandotdev and @VBragilevsky for an interview. Still unreleased. That one's going to land.
ANNND I attended @KubeCon_ .
Week two set the tone for everything that followed. (cont.)

@sivalabs What you are doing is a form of context engineering too 😉

@thorstenball I fear you might be right on that one 😭

@wordmandotdev Chinese and open source models in the rearview mirror — how can they stop?
English
Friends have told me over the last 6 months that inference is profitable.
That means:
Model houses might not lose that much on their subscriptions, if they lose anything at all.
Model houses can't just run inference. They're in a race and if they stop they'll die. They need to build the next model.
API prices then have high margins and subsidize the development of the next generation of models.
I think if the race were to stop today, then prices wouldn't go up.
Igor Kotenkov@stalkermustang
apparently ed proved inference is VERY profitable, and the companies, in fact, do not lose money on subscriptions.

@mattpocockuk I don't know, this constant back and forth is not helping my Claude trust issues

Anthropic has opted against slashing AFK/third-party usage, at least for now
Go back to sleep, Codex, I don't need you yet

Interesting podcast with the Pi Agent creator.
I strongly agree with most of his thoughts while I have slightly different view on Spec Driven Development.

@ScriptedAlchemy @intellijidea lol it needed an hour to generate the answer 🤣

@wordmandotdev @intellijidea Says decade plus, does it in 3 hours.

Fable 5's last act on this earth was talking me out of rewriting @intellijidea in Rust. gone too soon 🫡
English
@DelaneyGillilan @badlogicgames lol I would also never say code doesn't matter. We all still operate with constraints
English
@wordmandotdev was watching the discussion with @badlogicgames (wonderful) and made me think of an interaction I just had. x.com/DelaneyGillila…
When giving into the zeitgeist (especially when has measurable difference) is IMO a net loss.

@hunvreus @karoladamiec Cool, enjoy! If orders of magnitude don't sway you then you are exactly where you should be! Good luck and be safe.

@maxjendrall @badlogicgames lol it was late in the evening and I didn't want to wake up my girls 🤣

@wordmandotdev @badlogicgames Your voice sounds like the one of Simplicissimus at the beginning haha

8:53 What success actually looks like for Pi
10:58 Building beyond the coding agent
13:13 Local AI is getting real
20:13 How Mario actually works
26:38 Discipline, atrophy, and juniors
29:08 Spec-driven dev is just hyper-waterfall
35:03 Code isn't actually free
37:56 Async agents and thinking time
44:42 Learning without the pain
49:13 The coming wave of sloppy software
52:11 GitHub under clanker load

58:52 Refactoring Pi's core

@wordmandotdev Is it just me, or does building a house of cards get harder the bigger and taller the structure gets?

Seems like vibecoding has a half life of about 2 weeks

Anthropic's Safety Superpower
Anthropic's belief in its own commitment to safety gives the company license to aggressively favor its business and even challenge the U.S. government.

@marcba I think it depends on how you look at it, here they focused the reporting rather on the goal they made and how proud the fans were on their team for that
English
@wordmandotdev You are right. I didn’t think of the fact that it matters in the preliminaries. I feel bad for such a passionate team being destroyed in this way 😟
English
@wordmandotdev You should have me on the podcast again :D
English
@rachelnabors Sounds to me much more sophisticated than vibe coding
English
I work with a staff QA engineer from Microsoft to harden all contributions. I've learned a lot more about to make this work because of that.
I will hire a QA engineer before a feature engineer. Anyone can build a feature now. But you need the systems in place to ensure it's built to spec
English
@rachelnabors very cool, but I still have my doubts about vibe coding 😅
