Remember when everyone said I was crazy for noticing how much Claude Code regressed?

What if you just write Rust like a high-level, garbage collected language? Turns out with a few rules you can basically get all its perf / type benefits with only a 10-20% per hit. - Immutable types, functionalish pipes - Arc clone liberally - DDD services

“Built in rust” is not a feature btw

Anthropic really is burning more and more dev goodwill Claude Code is suddenly getting unusable for stuff you could use it before (as in a day before!) and the AI now refuses to so stuff that it doesn’t think is strictly to do with software development. No transparency why ofc

I like this final name better 🦀 Of course because Anthropic demanded the first name to be change (similarity to Claude) you might wonder if OpenAI could do the same the future. In what is an absolute boss move @steipete called Sam and asked, then changed the name

What am I missing? Why is 3ms a good result?

After 8 years of Haskell, 2 years of OCaml, 2.5 years of C and 45 minutes of Go, I present you the ultimate Design Pattern. The Context Pattern FP, OOP, Procedural and Declarative Programming combined to create The Last and Only design pattern you ever need. A single record containing all your dependencies that you pass to every function explicitly. No more inheritance. No more classes and methods. No more Dependency Injection. No more singleton pattern. No more private/public. Mocks have never been easier. This is the only pattern you need to structure EVERY SINGLE APP NO MATTER THE INDUSTRY (microservice, compiler, spaceship system).

All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay. I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it. Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence. Two of the most common OSS business models: - Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...) - Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more. The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't. Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing. Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly. The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement. My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.
