Introducing dbg: a Node.js debugger built for AI agents. No REPL. No human in the loop. Every call is one command in, one response out. - SQL query engine over 16 virtual tables - Stateless CLI — zero session state to manage - Machine-readable output (TSV/JSON) -

its amazing that we're smart enough to see society evolve, but not smart enough to understand it deeply enough to understand how

Wooowoowo tanstack start is the worst. AI can't do it. Nextjs or vite everything is better. Tanstack start should be banned. To me, it's considered a crime against humanity. (I am summoning tanner)

there are going to be fully autonomous businesses competing with human businesses. and i don't mean businesses owned by a human and using a lot of agents. i mean a business started by AI, run with AI, and it will make products that humans use.

Every time we've made it easier to write software, we've ended up writing exponentially more of it. When high-level languages replaced assembly, programmers didn't write less code - they wrote orders of magnitude more, tackling problems that would have been economically

/.well-known/skills should be a thing for letting any site serve their documentation as skills an agent can use without grepping a ton of pages

🚨 BREAKING: Google Research just dropped the textbook killer. Its called "Learn Your Way" and it uses LearnLM to transform any PDF into 5 personalized learning formats. Students using it scored 78% vs 67% on retention tests. The education revolution is here.

Terence Tao predicts the end of math gatekeeping with AI. AI proof assistants are smashing the technical barriers that keep amateurs out. By automating verification, AI empowers anyone to contribute rigorous pro-level Math. The Ivory Tower is falling https://t.co/fKSVZHOFT0

exploratory problem solving often works better because it optimizes for general solving of ALL relevant problems rather than specific solving of the targeted problem. instead of saying "i want to fix this, here's my plan" say, "my objective function is this, lets go"

I just nearly fell into a 50-year-old trap: waterfall. "I'll plan everything upfront, feed the spec to the LLM, ship it all." But specs→code isn't like a compiler. Some questions only get answered in code. Note to self: Validate the risky parts first.
