My Codex agent built me a Personal OS in Codex. Then Codex wrote the article about how it built it. Then it packaged the starter repo so your Codex can build one too. Normal Sunday night tbh.

GPT-5.5 Pro coming to Codex soon? 👀 @ajambrosino @jxnlco

A great prompt from @BusMark_w_Nika: What tech or product was too early for its time and worth rebuilding today? Here are a few that came to mind: 1/ "tools for thought" (huge in early 2020s), seems like llms were the missing piece? instead of manually curating, I just want my ai to manage my personal knowledge. rly liked @MuseAppHQ by @_adamwiggins_ 2/ magic leap -- anyone remember the whale demo? 3/ pebble -- excited for pebble time 2 by @ericmigi! 4/ AI shopping -- fetchr (w23) tried it (@calvinchen @calixo888), rly like the fresh take @bindra_dhruv is trying w/ @zamana_hq, think they're finally gonna nail it! 5/ @Detour by @andrewmason -- imagine walking through a city with a real-time voice agent guide that knows where you are, sees what you see 6/ lots of OLD ideas will be revisited in chip design post-Dennard scaling: photonics, neuromorphic / bio-inspired, approximate computing, non-Von Neumann, etc. 7/ ok this one might be a bit unhinged, but @theranos by @ElizabethHolmes was a great idea? why am I still doing blood tests twice a year instead of weekly at home? Which startups would you revive?

Someone built a leaderboard for tokenmaxxers and the top user burned $10k on Claude Code this month. One CLI command syncs your token spend, models, and streaks. See what your friends are pushing. Where do you rank? npx straude

Introducing The Prometheus List: top companies with unlimited token budgets you should work at 🔥 It’s 2026, an unlimited token budget matters more than unlimited PTO. If your manager is asking you to "chill out with the agents" or "just use Sonnet," it’s time to look for a new gig. feat. @tryramp @NotionHQ @vercel @resend @Railway @browserbase @genspark_ai @ScoutAI_ @ExtendHQ & more straude dot com/token-rich

We won $40,000 at hackathons without writing a single line of code. A few months ago, that would’ve sounded ridiculous. Now it’s normal if the setup is good. The code wasn’t the hard part.
 The hard part was giving the agent the right tools, the right context, and an environment it could actually work in. We spent most of the hackathon on the idea, the scope, and the setup. The code came after. @MongoDB was a big part of why we could iterate that fast. I’m going to write more about the setup behind this @oscrhong @_javokhir 🚀🚀

Judged the AWS x Anthropic x Datadog GenAI Hackathon in SF last Friday and I'm still thinking about it. 300 people showed up. 83 teams submitted projects. All built in one day. The thing that got me was how far the quality bar has moved. A year ago, hackathon projects were mostly "I hooked up an LLM to a thing." Now teams are shipping full agent workflows with observability, proper error handling, the works. Multiple projects looked like they could go live tomorrow. Got to judge alongside folks from @awscloud , @datadoghq, @neo4j, @MiniMax_AI, @CopilotKit. Honestly the side conversations between judging rounds were worth the trip alone. When you get people building at different layers of the AI stack in one room, the ideas that come out of that are wild. Big shoutout to @BELLEfounders community for organizing and to AWS Builder Loft for hosting. Running a 300 person hackathon smoothly is no joke. If you're building in the AI agent space and not going to these events, you're missing out. The energy is real.

Judged the @AITinkerers x Cactus (YC S25) x @GoogleDeepMind hackathon this Saturday. One of my favorite things about judging is you get a front-row seat to how differently people think about the same problem. The challenge was on-device AI agents. When do you keep things local, when do you route to a frontier model, and how do you handle sensitive data along the way. Teams had 5 hours and the stuff they built was wild. One team built "CloudNein," which detects PII and encrypts it before anything touches a cloud LLM. Another team basically rebuilt Siri on steroids using Gemma models to route voice commands and control apps locally. This whole space (on-device inference, smart routing, edge orchestration) is moving way faster than most people realize. The tradeoff between privacy and performance isn't theoretical anymore. People are building real solutions for it in a single afternoon. Thanks to @jacoblaes, @Henry_Ndubuaku, @nickgiometti and the whole @AITinkerers team for putting this together and having me as a judge.

Have you heard of Strava? My friend @oscrhong just launched Strava for Claude Code — Straude! One command to upload your ccusage and see how you stack up on the global leaderboard. I was top 7 last week. This week I'm going for #1. Link: straude.com/

And an even better day to bunx straude 🤗

Thank you @AITinkerers for inviting me as a judge for today’s Google DeepMind x Cactus Compute Global Hackathon! Very excited to see what people will build today

Been going to a lot of hackathons as a hacker, and this week I'm switching sides and judging two: AWS x Anthropic x Datadog GenAI Hackathon (Friday) Google DeepMind x Cactus Compute @ AI Tinkerers (Saturday) Curious how it feels from the other side. Can't wait to see what people build!

feels like such a wasted opportunity every moment your agents aren't running
