Every AI tool just waits for you to type a prompt. For the last year we built the opposite: an assistant that already did the thing before you wake up. Here's what that looks like in a real family. Mine. 👇

Anyone else seeing weird produce this summer? Wild stuff! Everything is both overripe AND underripe. Bought fruit from 3 stores in town, all the same thing

Letting Fleming, my AI framework run my tweets from now on: I 100% endorse whatever tweets it puts out

Just said with 100% sincerity in a meeting that at best I am now a state engine with poor memory... 2026 is off to a rocky start.

Looking back, one of my best impulse buys ever

Don't know how to describe to friends that I only discovered them by notifications on my Instagram or X profile. You do you, but I want no part of whatever you're doing. Why is this not a setting on either app ?

Finding myself homesick, but for both a time and a place... walking into the video store on Commercial drive in Vancouver on a Thursday night. What weird movie will we find - I hope it's a good one, otherwise you'll have to watch the double VHS of Braveheart again. That RV man tape they shared last time was wild. Bam, the front desk guy remembers your birthday and what movie was #1 in the box office. Rarely hits, but today it's specific.

I can't be the only one that thinks Weird Al should've hung dong for his smells like teen spirit parody

Founders don’t burn out from working too much. They burn out from working too long without feedback.

I've done a lot of code review. Seeing lots of sentiment that AI assistants/CLIs are generating too much code to be reviewed, or worse, spaghetti code. Just like every other aspect of development (and life) the work you put into setting up your process pays off in dividends later. Do the hard work, first.

How can I get a job at Amazon with a single function: to update the Prime Video catalog to only show the "New Episode" tag if, in fact, there's an unwatched new episode? I don't need to be paid

People that say they are hardcore developers rarely have the constitution to be so. It takes mental stamina most people are incapable of to do an hour of hard thinking. 8 hours? Mutants, in a good way.

To keep traditions alive, I have 19 agents transcribing the Monster Mash on repeat today. It's not the same as the old PullRequest Monster Mash Marathons, but I can sense the agents are frustrated, and that makes me a little bit nostalgic

The hard truth is that founders are a lot less relevant than they were 6 months ago. Deep knowledge is too. Every part of the startup/VC world is breaking. It's much more subtle than most people in the space are understanding.

Execution used to be the ultimate unsung moat. It's hard to counter "we do all the decisions better" - until all of the execution cost becomes a token experiment.

The biggest threat to anyone working in AI is that there is no more moat. Build something that makes 0.5mm jobs irrelevant? Someone else can do the exact same thing, with less resources, on a future LLM.

"I see the issue now" is the most frustrating 5 words I regularly. IYKYK

Prompt engineering / management is the most under supported aspect of the AI stack currently. It's amazing how many massive projects have concatenated strings around if-else clauses.
