witnessing a swarm of ai agents control infra & extend its own tooling, debugging & summoning brethren, watching it document its own thought process is beautiful
something that seemed only possible in science fiction, is now trivial
maybe ai psychosis is a normal reaction?

damn right
My hot take from chatting to @poteto is that we should use MORE abstractions in the AI age
You can use them (combined with harsh lint rules) to reduce the design space available to the agent and constrain them only to good decisions.
Combined with the fact that high-leverage abstractions let you do more with less code - so, more token efficient.
Plus, unwinding the damage from a bad abstraction is much cheaper with agents.
This runs counter to a lot of folks thinking that agents just want to read the raw code. They can, but they're not maximally efficient that way.
Be braver! Design abstractions.

am i the only one having a rough time with dots? the call feature rings like 10 times before it answers (dude i know you're available) and once you're in it does basically nothing unless you drive every step. cool concept, but this shipped way too early

Yup.
Sounds like everybody worked in a Workshop with some real Code Craftspeople that hand-chiseled code every day.
On pacemaker software, avionics software, and, of course, the code that keeps nuclear arsenals safe.
Nope and I think pretending like so much handwritten code was artisanal and not half copy pasted stack overflow edited until it runs / is compiled is silly.

this weekend, i'm finally replacing Claude for Android with a little pi durable thing that runs fully on my phone. building it directly in pi on my phone. and it has subagents :D
(not an official earendil product, just a personal project to battle test durable)

dot is my favorite openai product so far!
it is amazing to me that each day it feels noticably better as it learns more of my workflow and style.
having it do the stuff i don't like doing--and usually just builds up as a gravity well of dread--has me very happy.

This is a bad take because what you’re seeing is people remixing existing games.
No one is making good original aaa games with ai right now.
Personally, I’d much rather play a game that real, talented, people have invested time in shaping.

hot girls are necessary part of a thriving city ecosystem. hot girls inspire ambitions and call you to transcend. Hot girls make the world go round. A city without hot girls is like a sky without stars
it took not even 30 seconds after leaving my hotel in nyc to see something that i almost never saw in 3 months in sf: i saw a hot girl

If it works,
if it's performant,
if it has no bugs,
if you understand how it works,
if the agent can modify it a month from now, to your liking,
is it slop?

i 100% agree with this message.
you can go to a restaurant and look at and eat food.
but only if you cook yourself some small stuff will you actually know food.
Wrong advice for junior developer: look at the AI generated code, since you need to mature as a programmer. Right advice: save time with AI coding and write by hand "get-better" programs: interpreters, games, ray tracers, ...

built a pokémon battler with my friends classroom today, live with my dot + codex
mega greninja, godzilla, fusions, confetti!
best feedback: “tail smash should be good” (to be added)

everyone’s asking how did i get so many interviews in this economy. here’s what works -
1. having someone already in the team pitching for you
2. referral
3. cold mailing (not ai generated)
4. only applying to jobs relevant to your resume (make multiple resumes if you want to apply multiple roles)
5. posting projects/blogs (build in public)
