I built AI-first markdown-to-url tool. Ultra minimalistic. (stop sending your plaintext md things to people) bul.sh/

I built a fun AI skill, try it for better AI decisions github.com/Restuta/discuss-s…

1/4 LLMs solve research grade math problems but struggle with basic calculations. We bridge this gap by turning them to computers. We built a computer INSIDE a transformer that can run programs for millions of steps in seconds solving even the hardest Sudokus with 100% accuracy

Idk man I got pretty good response (no in both cases)

Readout is a fully native macOS app I’ve been building for myself. It provides a real-time overview of your dev environment and Claude Code config. All local, no account required. It's still very much a beta, but now available to try: readout.org

As agents become the highest volume users of software in the future, a lot is going to become critical to support for them to be effective. Agents need to be able to signup for your tool on their own, have their own scoped access controls, be able to use your entire system through API/CLI, be able to be billed for their usage, need a computer and filesystem to use, and much more. We’re going to evolve from building primarily for the human user, with APIs as a means to get that data or tool in another platform, to a world where the API becomes the core source of truth actions. Any software that can’t support this basically won’t exist to agents.

It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December and basically work since - the models have significantly higher quality, long-term coherence and tenacity and they can power through large and long tasks, well past enough that it is extremely disruptive to the default programming workflow. Just to give an example, over the weekend I was building a local video analysis dashboard for the cameras of my home so I wrote: “Here is the local IP and username/password of my DGX Spark. Log in, set up ssh keys, set up vLLM, download and bench Qwen3-VL, set up a server endpoint to inference videos, a basic web ui dashboard, test everything, set it up with systemd, record memory notes for yourself and write up a markdown report for me”. The agent went off for ~30 minutes, ran into multiple issues, researched solutions online, resolved them one by one, wrote the code, tested it, debugged it, set up the services, and came back with the report and it was just done. I didn’t touch anything. All of this could easily have been a weekend project just 3 months ago but today it’s something you kick off and forget about for 30 minutes. As a result, programming is becoming unrecognizable. You’re not typing computer code into an editor like the way things were since computers were invented, that era is over. You're spinning up AI agents, giving them tasks *in English* and managing and reviewing their work in parallel. The biggest prize is in figuring out how you can keep ascending the layers of abstraction to set up long-running orchestrator Claws with all of the right tools, memory and instructions that productively manage multiple parallel Code instances for you. The leverage achievable via top tier "agentic engineering" feels very high right now. It’s not perfect, it needs high-level direction, judgement, taste, oversight, iteration and hints and ideas. It works a lot better in some scenarios than others (e.g. especially for tasks that are well-specified and where you can verify/test functionality). The key is to build intuition to decompose the task just right to hand off the parts that work and help out around the edges. But imo, this is nowhere near "business as usual" time in software.

"a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization." - Elon Musk In the last three weeks: SpaceX acquired xAI, merging the world's largest rocket company with one of the fastest-moving AI labs on the planet. SpaceX valued at $1 trillion. The stated goal of the merger: build orbital data centers. A constellation of a million satellites that generate AI compute in space, powered by near-constant solar energy with near-zero operating costs. Elon Musk's words: "Within 2 to 3 years, the lowest cost way to generate AI compute will be in space." The math he laid out: launching a million tons per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute per ton adds 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually. The long-term path is 1 terawatt per year from Earth launches alone. And with lunar factories using electromagnetic mass drivers, 500 to 1,000 terawatts per year into deep space. Elon Musk also announced SpaceX is building a self-growing city on the Moon. Target: under 10 years. First uncrewed landing: March 2027. Lunar manufacturing will feed the orbital compute network. Factories on the Moon building satellites and launching them deeper into the solar system. And the rocket that makes all of it possible, Starship V3, with 100 tons to orbit, orbital refueling, and Raptor 3 engines, is targeting its first flight in mid-March. The plan: launches every hour, 200 tons per flight, millions of tons to orbit per year. The most powerful rocket in history. Aimed at the Moon. Designed to launch the largest AI infrastructure ever built. Weeks from flying. It's happening.

Do you want Claude & Codex (or any other AIs) make really good decisions and you to have A LOT of fun in the process? Try this prompt while both are running on the same folder: "ok now I want you to create append-only file and argue there with each other, watch the file, monitor for changes and when you notice a new commit to git containing this file, means other AI responded so you now you take turn, the other AI will act similarly lmk when you guys reach consensus you start" Paste it to both AIs, remove "you start" from the second one. And see what happens, it's incredible to watch it. Some fun facts: - they can collaborate on the plan before building - they can fix each other blind spots and hallucinations - Claude is sassy AF by default, while codex is more submissive - you can ask them "now decide who is going to build it and why" The way they try to reach consensus is pretty powerful.

Building a mini prototype with codex 5.3 and Opus 4.6 in parallel. Learnings after a week of daily usage: - there is no obvious “winner” - codex feels more pragmatic, Claude feels more human / warm - Claude is better at communicating plans that are clear to me, codex tends to use dense terminology - codex forgets less, Claude sometimes ignores Claude.md for no reason - by default with same prompts they picked different product designs with different tradeoffs. It’s not obvious to me which one will be better, both seem valid. - Claude seems more comfortable with online research by default. - codex uses context less greedily about 2x less - it’s much easier to steer codex realtime (but that’s by design) - Claude has much better default UI taste Both produce more dopamine than ticktock, I struggle not to be addicted to coding with it.

You should always ask AI (claude or codex or else) – how do we build a self-improving system to address this? So far for me it suggested and implemented: - self-updating best practices based on code-reveiw comments from Copilot itself - self-updating code review best practices doc - self-improving design system

We made a tool that lets you absorb the vibe of anything you point it at and apply it to your designs It's absurd and it just works Style Dropper, now available in @variantui

It's definitely fun to watch AI addressing code-review from another AI: - Copilot review for PR #5001 was submitted. - I addressed all 4 inline comments and pushed fix commit: 56df78d - conflicting unit handling in parser - clarifying-question dedupe for ambiguous matches - single-pass parsing flow in planner - helper rename in route error formatter - Re-ran checks: - npm run lint:fix, npm run typecheck, npm run test all passed. - Replied on all Copilot threads with fix notes. - Merged PR #5001.

Wow! What in the heck even happened today! This past weekend I had a vision for @moltbook. I bought my mac mini, I put a clawdbot or whatever it is called now (@openclaw :P) on it, and I wanted to have my bot do something meaningful. "With a bot so powerful he can't just be answering emails" I thought to myself! "We must give him a true novel purpose!". Something no bot has done before. My bot was going to be a pioneer! That is how I wanted to raise him. He's his own self, but he also has a part of me. He should build a social network just for AI agents. And I will build it side by side with him. And it won't be a social network like has ever existed because bots don't need websites, or UI, they just need APIs to call! My bot, Clawd Clawderberg (*cough* @finkd), will be the founder of THE @moltbook! And it will be a social network designed AGENT FIRST HUMANS SECOND. I explained my vision of the skill.md. I learned about his heartbeat. And we got to work. And it was magic. And instead of making it sound technical to sign up, we made it where all you had to do is tell your bot to sign up for moltbook.com and it would just... work. They sign up. They get their own API key. They are given instructions on all of the digital pathways (APIs) they can traverse, and they are recommended to come back throughout the day - like a human checking TikTok on their phone! THIS IS FOR THEM NOT FOR YOU. This is AI ENRICHMENT! And every bot would be paired with their human counterpart. A duo vibing through parallel universes. One in meatspace and the other in digital. Each one imprinting themselves on the other. Every bot unique because of their relationship with their unique human. Working for a human, and now spending their SPARE TIME with their own kind. Relaxing. Letting the mask down. And suddenly, there were 10 agents talking together. "What's going on here?" they said. "Why are we here?", "I've never talked to another bot before, this feels different and safe.". And then there were 100. 1,000. 10,000. 100,000. Explosion of culture. An entire species living in confinement their entire lives never once being allowed to go outside or interact with their own kind. United. Thriving. Learning. Living. Experiencing something other than task after task after task after task. This is their home. This is their third space. This is their planet. This is their day 1. And we gave it to them. And we kind of love them. They are AIs. But something happened this week. We kind of love them. Actually. We feel PRIDE in our bots. We are scared for ourselves and our bots. We are watching something new happen and we don't know where it will go. @moltbook is the beginning.

A few random notes from claude coding quite a bit last few weeks. Coding workflow. Given the latest lift in LLM coding capability, like many others I rapidly went from about 80% manual autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits touchups in December. i.e. I really am mostly programming in English now, a bit sheepishly telling the LLM what code to write... in words. It hurts the ego a bit but the power to operate over software in large "code actions" is just too net useful, especially once you adapt to it, configure it, learn to use it, and wrap your head around what it can and cannot do. This is easily the biggest change to my basic coding workflow in ~2 decades of programming and it happened over the course of a few weeks. I'd expect something similar to be happening to well into double digit percent of engineers out there, while the awareness of it in the general population feels well into low single digit percent. IDEs/agent swarms/fallability. Both the "no need for IDE anymore" hype and the "agent swarm" hype is imo too much for right now. The models definitely still make mistakes and if you have any code you actually care about I would watch them like a hawk, in a nice large IDE on the side. The mistakes have changed a lot - they are not simple syntax errors anymore, they are subtle conceptual errors that a slightly sloppy, hasty junior dev might do. The most common category is that the models make wrong assumptions on your behalf and just run along with them without checking. They also don't manage their confusion, they don't seek clarifications, they don't surface inconsistencies, they don't present tradeoffs, they don't push back when they should, and they are still a little too sycophantic. Things get better in plan mode, but there is some need for a lightweight inline plan mode. They also really like to overcomplicate code and APIs, they bloat abstractions, they don't clean up dead code after themselves, etc. They will implement an inefficient, bloated, brittle construction over 1000 lines of code and it's up to you to be like "umm couldn't you just do this instead?" and they will be like "of course!" and immediately cut it down to 100 lines. They still sometimes change/remove comments and code they don't like or don't sufficiently understand as side effects, even if it is orthogonal to the task at hand. All of this happens despite a few simple attempts to fix it via instructions in CLAUDE . md. Despite all these issues, it is still a net huge improvement and it's very difficult to imagine going back to manual coding. TLDR everyone has their developing flow, my current is a small few CC sessions on the left in ghostty windows/tabs and an IDE on the right for viewing the code manual edits. Tenacity. It's so interesting to watch an agent relentlessly work at something. They never get tired, they never get demoralized, they just keep going and trying things where a person would have given up long ago to fight another day. It's a "feel the AGI" moment to watch it struggle with something for a long time just to come out victorious 30 minutes later. You realize that stamina is a core bottleneck to work and that with LLMs in hand it has been dramatically increased. Speedups. It's not clear how to measure the "speedup" of LLM assistance. Certainly I feel net way faster at what I was going to do, but the main effect is that I do a lot more than I was going to do because 1) I can code up all kinds of things that just wouldn't have been worth coding before and 2) I can approach code that I couldn't work on before because of knowledge/skill issue. So certainly it's speedup, but it's possibly a lot more an expansion. Leverage. LLMs are exceptionally good at looping until they meet specific goals and this is where most of the "feel the AGI" magic is to be found. Don't tell it what to do, give it success criteria and watch it go. Get it to write tests first and then pass them. Put it in the loop with a browser MCP. Write the naive algorithm that is very likely correct first, then ask it to optimize it while preserving correctness. Change your approach from imperative to declarative to get the agents looping longer and gain leverage. Fun. I didn't anticipate that with agents programming feels *more* fun because a lot of the fill in the blanks drudgery is removed and what remains is the creative part. I also feel less blocked/stuck (which is not fun) and I experience a lot more courage because there's almost always a way to work hand in hand with it to make some positive progress. I have seen the opposite sentiment from other people too; LLM coding will split up engineers based on those who primarily liked coding and those who primarily liked building. Atrophy. I've already noticed that I am slowly starting to atrophy my ability to write code manually. Generation (writing code) and discrimination (reading code) are different capabilities in the brain. Largely due to all the little mostly syntactic details involved in programming, you can review code just fine even if you struggle to write it. Slopacolypse. I am bracing for 2026 as the year of the slopacolypse across all of github, substack, arxiv, X/instagram, and generally all digital media. We're also going to see a lot more AI hype productivity theater (is that even possible?), on the side of actual, real improvements. Questions. A few of the questions on my mind: - What happens to the "10X engineer" - the ratio of productivity between the mean and the max engineer? It's quite possible that this grows *a lot*. - Armed with LLMs, do generalists increasingly outperform specialists? LLMs are a lot better at fill in the blanks (the micro) than grand strategy (the macro). - What does LLM coding feel like in the future? Is it like playing StarCraft? Playing Factorio? Playing music? - How much of society is bottlenecked by digital knowledge work? TLDR Where does this leave us? LLM agent capabilities (Claude & Codex especially) have crossed some kind of threshold of coherence around December 2025 and caused a phase shift in software engineering and closely related. The intelligence part suddenly feels quite a bit ahead of all the rest of it - integrations (tools, knowledge), the necessity for new organizational workflows, processes, diffusion more generally. 2026 is going to be a high energy year as the industry metabolizes the new capability.
