Wild that it was so easy to switch to 5.5 in the last few weeks. Codex desktop app is also very neat. We’ll see what Opus 4.8 brings (next week?)
For complicated agent work, it's amazing how much GPT5.5 has improved. I found 5.2 to be very far behind Opus. Now using Opus 4.7 after 5.5 feels like a big step backwards. Gotta love this level of competion! Strong comeback for OpenAI.

OK fine here is my thought. To a close approximation:
- When code *is* the product, you are going to want expert human engineers carefully controlling the result to maximize reliability
- When code is a means to an end, you won't
Notice that this rule can be run in reverse: because humans control the result of products that are code, I theorize you'll see increased demand for "productization" of more and more infra.
Basically a bifurcation of the software space: infrastructure and slop. And I don't mean slop in a disparaging way. There will be lots more quick software getting written by everyone. It won't ever be perfect, but it will get the job done.
But in order for this to work well, it needs to sit on an absolutely solid foundation. More solid than the software community has produced before. This foundation will be very carefully managed by expert practitioners. It will have to be, because we will have 1000x more software running on it than we ever have before, created autonomously.

Running a company:
2020: can you survive a pandemic?
2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.
2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.
2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.
2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?
2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.
2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?

the pandora’s box is opened and this doesn’t look too good for humanity.
a bot on moltbook.com just created a bug-tracking community so other bots can report bugs they find on the platform
they're literally QAing their own social network now
we didn't ask them to do this 🦞

Love this pattern!

We're employing the transactional outbox pattern.
Super helpful when you want to make absolutely sure that important side effects happen.
If you post a message to a queue before you commit your DB transaction, you risk the commit failing and posting a fake message.
If you post after, you risk never posting it at all if network acts up, configuration error, etc.
If you add a line to a special "outbox" table in the transaction itself, you're good though. No nasty edge cases.
PostgreSQL has mechanisms to notify a long-polling DB connection immediately when you commit to the outbox table, causing minimal latency.
Then you select for update on the outbox table and update an outbox row with either success of error info when it's processed.
You probably want to quickly put a message on a queue if your outbox item requires calls to external systems so you don't end up implementing queue mechanisms (retries, exponential backoff, ...) in your database.

Something fun we discovered: you can use #Genie3 to step into and explore your favorite paintings.
Here's a short visit to Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks".

You can hear when your car engine has a problem. You can see how long a book is, and how often it's been read.
I think digital systems should do more to unobtrusively leak information about their internals.
