Joined January 2012
We spent the first year at @GentraceAI helping customers run traditional LLM evaluations. But we realized late last year that agents changed everything. Agents don't just generate text - they take actions, make decisions, and interact across multiple steps. Traditional
Agents are significantly more powerful than standalone LLM calls. But, debugging them is a nightmare. You can trace their reasoning and tool use, but traces get huge and are impossible to parse. To solve this, we spent the lasts several months building Gentrace for Agents,

Press ⌘ + C twice to copy to clipboard. This mimics Superhuman's behavior with copying an email thread. If you're selecting text elsewhere on the page, the extension does not activate.

I made a simple Chrome Extension to copy a Github PR diff into your clipboard. This makes it dead simple to understand what's changed.

Bringing it all together. You get a simplified CLI-centric workflow for context management.

Does anybody know dev tool companies/OSS products that have started to include "get started quickly" prompts in their docs that users can copy and paste into Cursor to help with onboarding?

The best AI-native apps don't just integrate LLMs. They reshape the clipboard. We're entering a phase where exporting app data in LLM-readable markdown becomes table stakes. Tools like @linear get this: structured, semantic exports that unify with other unstructured data. Copy

It’s wild how some of the most beautiful and expressive Unicode characters like the em dash (—) have become tells for AI-generated content. LLMs overuse them. So now if you use them, it looks artificial. A sad erosion of my personal voice.

Accidentally hexdumped the wrong file (a binary one) in Ghostty and the result looked... well, like art. This would have blown up my machine in Iterm. Thanks @mitchellh 👋 and team.

Last week, we hosted some incredible AI builders from companies like Asana, Cribl, Block, Vanta, and Pinterest to share their stories on shipping AI apps to production. What we learned is that the road from POC to production isn't a straight path: 1. Turns out the biggest

Exactly why great engineering ability still matters right now.
biggest tip for AI-assisted coding: stop trying to one-shot entire features or apps. break everything down into the smallest *functional* steps, otherwise you’ll bury yourself in debugging.
