#ClawCon in #Singapore

Go east they say. I'm on my way to AI Engineer Singapore! I've been on a few conferences but this one will be special. I'm looking forward to share some of my thoughts on how to build agentic systems and eager to see what the local engineering community is doing. If you are around. Please reach out.

My father a retired physicist is back into coding and learns Python. Love it.

Hey folks. I’m researching how people are extending their agents. I would appreciate if you could fill out and forward this survey. How to find and use agent extensions forms.gle/ENgpYg9ywqLv...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to present my ideas how Coding Agents can be used for non-coding cases at the Cologne's Vibe Coding meetup. I've shown my CRM setup with Claude Code. And we have had some interesting back and forth on terminals and markdown mess. ;-)

● You're absolutely right!

The interesting part when working agents is memory management. Users can and should actively manage memory. But that is very different from what we are used to. Now we can start from scratch. A powerful concept. Especially if you combine it with previously taken snapshots.

Best description I’ve seen so far: Skills are lazy loaded prompt engineering. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4625...

Who is building agents with Vercels AI SDK and is up for a chat?

My app felt kind of slow until I realized that it hibernates and that the VM boots in 1.2 seconds. @fly.io #firecracker

Anyone have some good UK-TwoStep/Garage music recommendations?

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI. 1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks. 2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational. Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Yesterday, we witnessed the App-Store moment of AI. The AppSDK allows developers to embed full-fledged Apps directly into ChatGPT. If you combine the transformation of the iPhone App Store with adoption pace of ChatGPT, the implications are massive: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

A friend asked me: “What do you think about the future of project management?” Here is my hunch: Tomorrow’s project management will connect requirements, decisions, and code in a single traceable chain — every “why” and “how” and change is transparent to everyone. www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-sp...

Thanks for stopping by. #cypresshill #bonn

The confidence is a function of the ignorance.

Here's video, slides and a detailed annotated transcript from my talk at this week's AI Engineer World's Fair conference in San Francisco - "The last year six months in LLMs, illustrated by pelicans on bicycles" simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/6/s...

Am Freitag gibt es Demos.

The recording of last week's meetup with Jason Liu, David Soria Parra (Anthropic), OpenAI and @sa.muelcolvin.com is now live on youtube. Notably this includes David's plan for the future of MCP. youtu.be/GqufkaLJV44

I've hacked together an MCP server to query all #KubeCon videos or any other Youtube Playlist: github.com/luebken/play... e.g. claude.ai/share/3fbee0...

Good morning #kubecon. The CNCF has already started posting www.youtube.com/@cncf/videos of the presentations. To summarize and gauge whether I want to see a presentation, I use: $ pip install youtube-transcript-api $ pip install llm $ llm keys set gemini <your_api_key>

Great post by the Zalando engineering on how they used LLMs for migration of UI component libraries. Bonus: Using my favorite tools continue.dev and llm. engineering.zalando.com/posts/2025/0...

But who is Elizabeth?

Great post by @simonwillison.net on coding with LLMs: "Think of them as an over-confident pair programming assistant" "Don’t fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing LLMs" "LLM tools that obscure context are less effective."

You are prompting it wrong. — An opinion piece that AI in software engineering is here to stay. I see way too many dismissive posts about AI lately, and I argue that most people don’t know what they are talking about, and it’s far too early to judge. www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-pr...

You are prompting it wrong.

If you have uv installed this means you can start chatting with a small model without first installing anything at all - this command will create an ephemeral virtual environment, install the necessary pieces and start a chat UI running in your terminal: uvx --with llm-smollm2 llm chat -m SmolLM2

Open Source at its finest: huggingface.co/blog/open-r1

Why is there no AT protocol based #tiktok clone?

We're running a Datasette Public Office Hours event on Discord tomorrow (Friday 2pm PT) with lightning demos from community members of their Datasette and LLM-adjacent projects There's still space, so if you have something you'd like to demo please sign up here! simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/16/...

Microsoft consolidates AI and developer teams into a new CoreAI division, signaling a fundamental shift in how the tech giant approaches software development in the age of artificial intelligence.

Open-Source, model independent, transparent. continue.dev looks nice.

Anfang Februar erscheint mein neues Buch "Innovative agile Teamkonzepte". Ich erzähle gerne bei User Groups, Meetups oder auch firmenintern was zu den Inhalten: Fluide Teams, Radikaler Wertschöpfungsfokus mit vielen Teams, Team of Teams. Gerne DM und gerne teilen.

@kentbeck.bsky.social I’m thinking a lot lately how XP needs to adapt in a GenAI age. Any thoughts / pointers? How is your recalibration doing?

New Year’s resolution: Rewatch @simonwillison.net demo until I get out of ideas for my own projects.

How do folks save and re-use good prompts?

Zum Jahreswechsel möchte ich noch einmal das Wort an Sie und Euch richten. Machen wir 2025 zu einem guten Jahr! Das wünsche ich Ihnen und uns von ganzem Herzen. Zur ganzen Rede: youtu.be/TstYjL1K27Y

“… forks from relicensed projects tend to have more organizational diversity than the original projects. This is especially true when the forks are created under a neutral foundation, like the Linux Foundation, rather than forked by a single company.”

My weeknotes are pretty much a howl of despair at how little I've been able to get done between keeping up with the wild array of LLM releases over the past few weeks simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/20/...

I saw an impressive demo of Devin today. Seems I need to give it a try. Anyone else using it? Thoughts?

🐟 some musings on how we might use LLMs 🐠 to interact with text at multiple levels of abstraction 🐡 inspired by the fish-eye lens

What is the latest / greatest on how to follow accounts from Twitter which haven't transitioned?

This one is going to be fun: Heading to #reinvent to advocate for #CloudAgnostic.
