Cargo culting in agentic engineering makes witchcraft look like science.

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

Take a look at your favourite skill.

Go on, take a look.

Check for lines like:

- "Make the commit message very detailed"
- "Be thorough"
- "Make the implementation easy to read"

What do these lines have in common?

They're no-ops. They do nothing to change the agent's behavior.

Agents always write good commit messages. They always try to be thorough. They always try to create easy-to-read implementations.

Try removing them. Does the output change? No? Then the line was a no-op.

Agent-authored skills are LITTERED with no-ops. Entire paragraphs and sections of text that does nothing to change the agents' behavior.

No-ops make skills harder to evaluate, harder to maintain, and burn tokens uselessly.

Learn to spot them, test them, and remove them. Your skills will thank you.

@mrbarde2k @thdxr I guess we need to start with an OpenLaptop to run OpenOS

Trying to submit ChatGPT App update and getting "Load failed". Same when submitting a new app. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong? @OpenAI @romainhuet

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

Debated this recently, same arguments. Glad we still have sanity. Also long time Sentry user.

[David Cramer @zeeg]

@file_mutex people who dont read the code are not serious people

and it takes a serious person to ship production software

So frontier LLM will sabotage my code by *silently* changing my prompts?

[NomoreID @Hangsiin]

When Fable 5 is used for frontier LLM development, it does not notify the user and instead limits the model’s capabilities through methods such as prompt modification, steering vectors, and PEFT.

Anthropic estimated that this would affect approximately 0.03% of traffic.

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@mattmireles Hard disagree on this one

“Bandwidth per launch” is a really cool metric

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Starlink V3 satellites

Bandwidth per Satellite:
• V2: 96 Gbps
• V3: 1,024 Gbps

Bandwidth per Launch:
V2: 2,600 Gbps
V3: 61,000 Gbps

Deployment per Launch:
• V2: 27 satellites (on Falcon 9)
• V3: 60 (on Starship)

Starlink V3 satellites will begin to be deployed in late 2026 on Starship.

@Dylan_Morri Call me, I know a thing or two about ERPs :)

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@lpolovets Lots of CC users are not engineers. The TAM is all knowledge workers.

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@mitchellh As a tech guy and a private pilot, I hear you. I thought I’d be flying to SF for quick visits - done it once and flown commercial since then. It’s an amazing hobby, but it’s mentally draining. It’s the wisest decision you could make, kudos to you!

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@davepl1968 Curious, why is latency here exactly 1/30 or 1/60 of a second?

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@thdxr Guilty af

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

Frankly, that’s the only way to go. Freemium model wasn’t designed for agentic loops.

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

Microsoft needs to start charging a bit per PR. Otherwise GitHub is effectively getting DDOSd by LLM code commits

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. https://t.co/DQDemHdytV

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@thdxr wow, that’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming

[Andrey Baskov @AndreyBaskov]

@paulg Had exact same experience recently - created a new account and got insta banned. Appeal didn’t resolve it. Heard this story many times.
