Took forever to find this existing issue with @bunjavascript 's bundler. I wonder why it's so uncommon to want to add pre-transform plugins. I just want a little pre-processor to run, please!.

A debugger with a chat for your UI. No tool switching all exists within the app or tests you're working on. Say "Add a drop-down to change the state of the ticket" and the code gets partially implemented until you click and interact with the UI.

Unironically, I think something kinda like this is going to be the future of iterative development and prototyping.

I have a vague memory that Stripe has been really amazing at this, but I don't have links on hand.

Strong feelings about how shitty most setup docs are. You leave a ton on the table if you're not choosing a highly flexible CMS like or building yourself with mdx or related.

@stevekrouse I would think about flipping it honestly. Write docs that have context of the user's state. You know how sdks let you choose the code language, allow users to choose their account and you can make interactive components in the docs directly. Then, when people have a fundamental.

I believe most engineering companies will invest in creating their own bespoke agents, so they can control tokens, dev environment, and agent performance.

Really proud of this UX I iterated on for @ForethinkAI โ€” having a grammarly-like standoff highlight like this that doesn't interfere with the page has always been an alluring challenge for me that was only enabled by the help of o1 pro.

Hover over a highlighted term. Instantly see related emails, documents, research from months back. No searching. No typing. Your knowledge starts to compound instead of fragment.

"There's absolutely nothing terrifying about COBOL or any system anywhere, [if you can change] the way you look at it". Lovely talk at the intersection of dev tooling and first principles thinking.

I was so nervous when I gave this talk. I showed several pieces from our work at feenk that we've never shown before:. - A story that now appears in the Rewilding Software Engineering book I am writing with Simon Wardley about assessing the slowness of a data pipeline. - A COBOL.

One thing that is really fun about working in AI is that itโ€™s so accessible to participate in. Since everything is in text files and prompts, everyone can learn from each other whether your process is manual or automated,.

Really cool approach to the UX here. It reminds me of the early @HebbiaAI demos with AI columns in a spreadsheet. Iโ€™ll take some inspiration from this for @ForethinkAI.

AI should not replace browsing, but scale it. #Orca turns the web into your canvas and personal workspace. Work across dozens of pages, delegate to AI agents by your side, and synthesize on the fly. Welcome to ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ w/@HaijunXia
