Agentic Loops: Pillar by Pillar I just finished my practical guide on building reliable agentic loops. Drop it into your favorite chat model. It's a solid foundation for building from, learning and iterating on. Feedback is always welcome! github.com/brandondocusen/ag… #AgenticLoops #LoopEngineering #AIAgents #LLM

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

I care about engineering, not Monad. In my 40s with 20 years in software. Price, culture & hype are irrelevant. The exchange platform with the best architecture is Monad. It doesn’t matter if the team is comprised of soggy-raisin assholes or busty big booty angels; it doesn’t matter that the tokenomics have bias. •Minimal friction per transaction •Minimal friction for builders This platform is SOTA in both of these categories. This value is why I’m staked and building. @monad @monad_dev @keoneHD @cryptunez @be_kindplss @mikeinweb @internbrah @intern @Monad_APAC @buntyverse #Crypto

I’ve been testing Grok 3 with technical hardware spec questions and coding, it is really good.
