Can anyone build an AI Agent from scratch?. I’ve been following @thorstenball for a while now and recently discovered his YouTube series with @Sourcegraph, where he’s working on an AI Agent called @AmpCode. Thorsten did something unique: he shared a video of himself pair

Confirmed Jony Ive will shortly be joining @AnthropicAI to build ClaudePuter now.

Anthropic has kindly asked that I change the name, which imo is a reasonable ask. They were extremely chill about it, and I appreciate the work they do to make it possible to build fun experiments like this. Claudeputer is now Codeputer.

I think I understand insanity. It’s an endless chorus of “You’re absolutely right!” followed by yet another error.

Really tempted to splurge and try SuperGrok heavy to do a lot more of my planning / one shot code but not quite sure if the price matches the value yet… wish there was a way to preview it first.

I’m at a weird point in my career where my coworkers hand write 100% of their code, while I’m handwriting less than 10%. Sometimes it is a scary thought that I am exchanging that skill for a different skill, but for me AI has crossed the Rubicon… there’s no going back now.

it's so hard to tell which sota models are actually best for general purpose / coding bc the benchmarks feel as useful as a SAT score. Seems like using your preferred model is a vote for its continued success. I like the mission and engineering teams at @xai and @AnthropicAI,.

Back from vacation and I've really been missing building things. I am ready to inject @grok 4 + @AmpCode directly into my veins.

now that I am using arch/hyprland daily I am realizing you can pretty much have whatever OS you want with the help of ChatGPT.

I was rereading @paulg “Putting Ideas Into Words” where he says:. “A great deal of knowledge is unconscious, and experts have if anything a higher proportion of unconscious knowledge than beginners.”. I think this is directly relevant today for engineers learning to utilize ai.

RT @simonw: Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention….

omarchy is lit. with the help of chatgpt I got several really nice customizations going on top of the omarchy base. in the age of ai you really can have your own custom setup without reading combing through massive manuals and documentation.

Downloaded omarchy last night and gave it a test run. I was looking in the manual and I didn't see instructions on how to lock the screen (it's SUPER+Esc btw), so I asked ChatGPT for help and made my own lock screen with the background image dynamically! @dhh made it super easy

I thought @beyang gave some great insight here: “you’re the developer experience engineer for your agent”. It made me realize that the first adopters of ai coding agents are the engineers that really love diving into improving developer tooling and workflows. When working with.

I see @dhh is using his influence to get devs from Mac to Linux and I’m here for it.

I had lunch with @dhh yesterday and he made very compelling arguments for Samsung phones and Beelink PCs. I did my best to Nix pill him lol. In any case I think we’re both excited to make Ghostty work really great with Omarchy and identified some key improvements to do that 🥰.
