The Claude tamagochi thing is cute until you realize it's using the same metrics it sends your boss lol

Y'all might have missed it but now SWEs trust Claude a ton more than they trust other SWEs.

Agents, like people, are way more critical of others' work than their own.

If you give a million devs the same new tool, they'll all discover the same few tricks, build the same few obvious frameworks, and claim to have made the same few insightful discoveries.

Snr devs clinging to their "agentic workflows" simply bc they can diagram them, which makes them feel like they've contributed in some way.

AI is great at empowering individuals but extremely hard to harness as an organization. Everyone wants to use their own personal AI. Unclear if that is an intrinsic property of AI or people.

You can just paste mermaid markup into nano banana. That's bananas.

I'm excited about the future that AI holds, but even I've had the odd moment of disquiet about what it means for being a coder. "Deep Blue" is a delightful term for it! 🤷

Everyone I talk to is working on the same few things. Everything everyone thinks is brilliant is obvious to everyone else.

Can we finally stfu about No Code?

It's funny how FOSS ended up feeding a few new megacorps that own everything when the whole point of FOSS was to prevent that from happening.

Begging. Crying. Pleading. Offering little notes of encouragement. (Me getting Codex to actually do the things it says it will do.)

It's so cute when Codex takes a nap (compacts context) and wakes up with a fresh perspective.

Literally who hasn't built a C compiler?

TBH one agent works too fast for me to keep up with already. Don't get how people are juggling multiple branches and multiple prompts. I tried having 2 windows open and couldn't keep them straight.

If you're actively reading the code and engaging at that level it's not vibe coding, I think. It's just coding in 2026.

Need a word for extremely technical tightly steered vibe coding. Vibe coding sounds like you don't know what you're doing.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I wrote something very similar to "Pi", except mine includes a shell written from scratch to be safe (instead of bash).

Claude I see what you've done for other repos and I want that for mine.

We're gonna need a bigger build server.

I like coding agents cuz I can scream THAT IS WHAT POLYMORPHISM IS -- WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOW YOU UNDERSTAND -- HOW DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS FROM THE START quietly into the void.

goddamn

So does Greg Bovino move to Argentina now?

Been writing a Claude Code / Codex clone and it just fixed its first bug within itself 😳

Thanks to @davidgasquez.com, @hachej.bsky.social, Hayssam, Matthew, @jankaul.bsky.social, Bedag, Dan, @ry.codes, Burak, and many more for building these amazing frameworks to ease data engineering lives, and even make operations more reliable. If interested, I wrote a full series on this topic.

A common misconception is that a bunch of agents/organisms working together can be smarter than each alone. This is only true when the interactions between agents are subjected to evolution, drawing out behaviors at the swarm/herd/flock level (often to the detriment of the individual).

A big reason I like vibe coding is that I've absolutely never used an IDE and sat out Windsurf/Cursor etc. Codex etc let me stay in the terminal. I've never felt that an IDE did anything but disrupt my flow. Vibe coding is 100% flow. It is the familiar write-compile-test loop, not auto-complete.

It's never been easier to write software, and it's never been harder to get anyone to use it.

No one believes me when I tell stories of my past dog Xanadu escaping our house on a regular basis. She could open any dog crate, any door. Didn't matter if it opened inward and had a deadbolt. She'd have it open in seconds.

The AI labs could engender a lot of good will by funneling a tiny fraction of their $200/m subscription fees to GH sponsorships whenever their models use an open-source project.
