It's been great just writing code again. There is something incredibly meditative about algorithms and performance optimization (and learning @ziglang). Texas Holdem Hand Evaluation is a problem I have noodled on for a decade or so, very satisfying to exceed 300M/s 7-card hand

Building your own tools to orchestrate/automate some parts of the agenic workflow seems to be a natural step in the path to become an agentic engineer. Usually it's in month 2-4. And eventually you'll drop all of that again and just talk to it.

I've settled into a rhythm of using claude code in one console and codex in another, one coding, one reviewing, both working off a clear plan doc. I generally have Claude driving, but it was struggling today. I love how gpt-5 is so honest here (and not wrong):

Hot take 🌶️ Most of the anti-Claude sentiment is likely too much context bloat and switching to Codex removes that so it feels a lot “smarter” then slowly as you add MCP and prompts, Codex gets “dumber” and the cycle continues…

Low-cost inference is critical for AI builders and developers. @GroqInc is making it happen through full vertical integration, delivering the lowest cost per token in the market. Must be all the Aussies on their team!

OpenAI’s open models are live and already running on Groq. Try gpt-oss-20B and gpt-oss-120B today. Groq delivers 128K context and built-in tools such as code execution and browser search. For the first time, developers and enterprises can deploy open models backed by OpenAI

I think about this tweet at lot. That way of thinking is absolutely key. There is so much more software that wants to be built and we are going to build a lot more software with our agents.

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I'm seeing a concerning trend in talking to CTOs/CEOs about the cost of tokens i.e. Can I afford an extra $1-10k/month per engineer as they use @cursor_ai / @windsurf_ai / @GitHubCopilot etc? So they clamp down on spending 😬 1. Do not use the default / cheapest models. Yes

The strongest AI models today get better at tasks further into conversations / w more context. Older models were worse or broken at multi-turn/long-context. A counterintuitive thing that many people don't know / havent outgrown that was confirmed on the recent Dwarkesh podcast.

There are some really interesting things possible with MCP servers like providing prompts and using the client LLM for inference (sampling) that would unlock interesting usecase in MCP servers, but nobody implements them https://t.co/aw5IqmYWyA. @cursor_ai any plans here?

A guy on my engineering team gave his standup update by just saying “it’s looking good over here” and then muted. I'm saying that forever now

I’ve noticed the difference between a good vibe code session and a bad one is me managing the model well, instead of relying on empty “do this” prompts.

Here’s the most important skill for the AI era: Management. The skills of human managers today are going to be the skills of model managers tomorrow. And tomorrow, everyone will be a model manager.

The "AI uses too much energy" argument is also exhausting. We're seeing the largest slope change in clean energy in US history literally because of AI. In some decades we're going to be sitting on dozens of new nuclear reactors that probably wouldn't have happened without AI.
