I mostly agree with this but I feel like there's an important piece missing - the kinds of distances you can go aren't fixed. Yes, the split between thinking and coding limits how much more effective you can become on a predefined task... 1/2
1/3 Two ways to talk about AI productivity. Picture a 100km trip from A to B. 20% is traffic: thinking, talking, high-level planning. Give yourself an infinitely fast car for the other 80%, and you can only arrive 5x faster. The part you can't speed up sets the ceiling.

...but the scope of what you can think of isn't bounded. You can spend your time on designing a 1000km journey and get there much faster than you would've without AI agents. I think the true unlock isn't doing things we already do faster, but doing bigger things

just gave my first @trypolygraph demo to a cool company and it went well, I'm happy 😇 It's really nice to see other people *get* the thing you're building

the only thing missing to make the @linear slack bot perfect is the ability to interpret images. So often an issue report is very little text & a screenshot and linear just falls on its face in that case

building fun shapes during repo selection is the best minigame in @trypolygraph tbh

Our biggest brains are working on making Nx Agents better in every possible way than traditional CI: much faster, cheaper, more reliable, and more powerful Great results, but even more efficiency is coming in June. @NxDevTools nx.dev/blog/nx-agents-faster…

there's been a lot of posts about how devs need to adapt in the age of AI agents but this one really, really hits the nail on the head. I feel seen and I realize that I still have a lot of growing to do - the orchestration tax has to be paid

We've been working on something new and exciting for the past 6 months. The more progress we made, the more agent-related problems it solved. E.g., saw this in my feed the other day and thought: we sort of solved this one too. youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKo…

We’re continuing to work with Microsoft and GitHub to investigate the impact of the malicious Nx Console version 18.95.0. I'll share any updates on X (@jeffbcross and @NxDevTools) as well as in our security advisory: github.com/nrwl/nx-console/s…. Initially, Microsoft indicated to us that there were 28 installs of the malicious version 18.95.0. Based on our own analytics for the compromised version, we currently believe the number of users who received the malicious package may be significantly higher; potentially over 6k installs. We’ll keep working to determine the actual impact and exposure, and I don’t want to speculate beyond the facts we have right now. But I also don’t want to minimize the situation. This is my top priority right now. Our team has been, and continues to be focused on understanding exactly what happened, helping affected users, hardening our systems and release processes, and being as transparent as possible throughout the investigation.

been working with it for a few days, excited to see where this goes!! shoutout to the @superset_sh team for being super responsive and friendly
Introducing: Superset CLI 🎮 Drive Superset from within the terminal, or sit back and let your agents do it 🏖️ Create workspaces, spin up agents, edit tasks, etc. All through the terminal, updates the app in real-time. Works with automation and remote workspaces. Teach it to your agents with skills: npx skills add superset.sh Available now: brew install superset-sh/tap/superset

The build phase is cheap now. Building poorly at speed isn't. @JVAsays from our team on why "shift left" stopped working, and what actually shifting left looks like when agents are writing 1200 lines in 40 minutes. (link below)

great example of the incremental AX improvements we're always making. Agents have to be able to do everything in @NxDevTools and do it well

Ever needed to merge a repo into your main monorepo? It's not always trivial, right? A year ago, we created the "nx import" CLI command, but it can only account for so many edge cases. That changes when you combine it with an AI agent. @juristr gives you a walkthrough.

Monorepos waren nur ein Google-Hype? Vielleicht nicht. Mit @MaxKless von @NxDevTools sprechen wir über Monorepo vs. Polyrepo, Tooling, CI, Ownership und warum AI das Thema gerade wieder pusht. Zum Podcast 🎧 engineeringkiosk.dev/episode…

Amazing talk by @beaussan at React Paris ( @BeJS_ ) how they moved to an Nx monorepo at PayFit: - CI: 45min → 7min - Deploys: 5 days → 20min - 92MB less JS shipped Key: "Fix the house before inviting guests. Prove value, don't mandate" (watch the talk below)

curious to see what I've been working on these past few weeks? Promise it's hype!!
We’re building something exciting 🤩 ...and we might drop a sneak peek next week 👀 Wanna know? (link in next reply)
