noooo i just mixed up nuremberg and nurburgring "oh they made another racing movie?"

if your baby is crying and you can hear it on your baby monitor there's usually a volume button that can turn it all the way down

it's crazy having worked on opencode for 14 years and it's finally paying off

people are bad at differentiating between a missing feature and an impossible feature when they evaluate tech they complain about things that can be added, companies brag about features that can be copied what matters is the underlying architecture and what it prevents

i feel like i rarely see companies acquire competitors they're happy to acquire complimentary businesses knowing 90% of M&A fail to create expected value but acquiring a competitor requires making your opponents rich and acknowledging they were a real threat - lot to overcome

now that my gym and office are both in the garage i can finally make my dream come true track my weights in neovim

gym flooring update i went with the regupol aktiv ty for the recs note it's expensive af to ship for some reason so i found some random local dealer assembling cage now

i am so worried i'm just gonna eat into all of tsgo's performance enhancements with my type bullshit

giving this a try this week

the abstractions being developed right now around agents are going to sit low in the stack i don't feel very good about them, it's been such little time and there have already been so many avoidable mistakes there's even a pride around the lack of effort "we just prompted it"

this obsession with "agents just need a filesystem everything is a file" is another example of simplicity slop there are elegant versions of this like linux but for LLMs it's all just text content - making them need an FS to just read text is the opposite of simple

in the past 3 days we had 62 new issues opened but FOURTY SIX PRs opened that ratio seems insane

just implemented the agentskills spec by prompting opencode https://opncd.ai/share/pXYxe1bR

added a quick command to open the webui connected to the current TUI session

opencode

there's plenty of stories of founders denying insane acquisition offers and it looks crazy from the outside but there's things you can only see from the inside that make it a lot easier to say no

i never liked TDD, it felt better to me to work through an implementation but now i can ask an LLM to look at my code and then derive a bunch of tests then i can look over the tests to see if it understood my intent right and fill in gaps i finally have decent test coverage

every once in a while there's a post saying something like "GUIs are better, people only like TUIs because they want to feel cool" then i tell them to do opencode --port=4096 and go to localhost:4096 they can't fathom that you can build both because they can't do either

in case it's not obvious people are over one shot demos of models making a whole landing page or whatever everyone's using these tools day to day and that's not what they're looking for

virtual signaling was so annoying that now people go around bragging about how shitty they are

it was incredibly difficult to get a CI process that publishes opencode cli and desktop across all platforms and to brew and aur and npm without in a way where one error didn't leave everything in a fucked up state

previous generation of devtool companies were founded true programmers github, hashicorp, jetbrains, docker, heroku - all from the programming world, understood it well and were building stuff for their peers current gen that's actually the exception - it's all outsiders

we analyzed 3400 opencode zen users and their anthropic usage last 30 days median spend: $13.52 average spend: $44.36 only 75 people above $200 (3%) i know there's a psychological impact of a "subscription" but maybe you don't really need that $200 plan

a month ago i incorrectly said we had the most github contributors of any coding agent but i forgot gemini was open source we've added 150+ contributors since then and now we're #1 for real feels like our goal of locking the spot as the opensource option has been achieved

lol they rolled back the "several month 85% flicker fix" the whole "all we do is prompt, we're in the future, you don't get it now but you will" smug bit torched any amount of sympathy i'd normally have

every third party coding agent constantly posts benchmarks where they beat claude code, codex etc 1. no one cares, does not help them grow 2. people still keep saying "anthropic is doing magic with claude code people can't replicate" what would you conclude from this?

get on my level

new permissions dialog

recruiting is challenging - good people have a lot of opportunities and they are careful about the decisions they make that's why we threaten to beat the shit out of our candidates if they don't say yes

my baby threw up on my dog

i keep seeing simplicity slop everyone knows simplicity is an important goal but it is the hardest thing to do right what most people do is just slap together things, end result is hacky and brittle, but they can pat themselves on the back for it being simple

the reason we hadn't implemented skills yet is we got word that it was being made into a standard that's public now (Agent Skills) and we committed to supporting it likely will ship next week

we're still a very small team - smaller than all of our competitors including the ones with 10x fewer users we're pretty overstimulated right now - so much flying at us 24/7 it's very fun but it also is a lot - kinda looking forward to the holidays to see if things slow down

if you don't stay in the loop when coding with AI you produce a lot more tech debt the immediate response to that is "we can just make AI fix it" and everyone's been rolling with that but stop and think about it - this is an absurdly high bar to clear

i've said forever that it takes years to evaluate any new tech have to get past your initial excitement bias, see what unforeseen issues pop up, understand how it scales with complexity this 100% applies to coding with AI also

i always see people say "we didn't make our stuff open source because <made up scenario>" it's ok to not make things open source but the real reason most companies don't is because they don't understands it at all

we'll probably do openmono at some point

those of you that track retention closely what is your 1 week retention for your product?

half of our team has been working all day to send one email

these people have been emailing me every other day for a week isn't it funny

blah blah gemini 3 flash in opencode blah blah blah blah

i don't give a shit what your indiehacker guru says i really do not please stop asking me to select a plan and add credit card before i even know what your product does that goes AFTER you've given me the aha moment

the fact that riverside does not allow more than one host is crazy - bothers me enough that i'm looking for alternatives any suggestions?

opencode is growing like crazy and no ai thought leader uses it as their primary tool these things are related

nothing gives you better perspective than having a lot of users complaining to you i constantly see people who are more knowledgeable than me be completely wrong what makes sense to you is irrelevant against the scale and complexity of the real world

a lot of AI investment is directed at making programming more accessible to non-programmers by allowing them not to program i think i'm ultimately not interested in exploring that area think there's plenty to do in helping people become better programmers

every single productivity hack in the world added up together saves you less time than working on the right thing instead of the wrong thing

damn anthropic deleted bun

we are looking for a video editor that can do an hourly rate work will be consistent and will continue to grow - trying to find someone we can have a long term relationship with reply if interested and i'll DM you
