@GuiBibeau @mikemaccana @aceddeca1 @redacted_noah @trailofbits @RhinoSecurity @cure53berlin I don't have any recommendations. Good luck!

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

AI has fundamentally changed the way we work, but the real value comes from working with other humans. This is why I created Wind Stream. AI for the way teams actually work.

Wind Stream transforms AI workflows into an integrated team experience. Come see what I have been building. https://t.co/J9JgSpCFJt

Worse, it's constantly compounding. One poor choice becomes the reference for the next.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

The problem with the "if it works who cares what the code looks like" mindset for agentic work is that it assumes the agent has a perfect understanding of "works." Realistically, things are underspecified, agents make bad assumptions, etc.

To be fair, agents are pretty good at unit test coverage. They're pretty bad at designing human experiences (API, CLI flags, etc.), especially cohesive ones for future roadmap plans they may not have visibility into (unless your backlog is perfect and vision fully laid out, which I doubt). They're bad at knowing where performance matters and what type (CPU vs memory tradeoffs). They're bad at where compatibility matters and where it doesn't (and tend to err on the side of preserving it without further guidance). Etc.

Unless you have this ALL specified, you can't possibly claim "it works" without taking a look and thinking about it.

@antirez Opus 4.5 again?

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

I'm certain Fable 5 is more capable, but do I want to talk to it?

Opus 4.8 is downright neurotic. If I can get it a well defined task, it's amazing. But wow, it's not a talker.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@eliebakouch Now we see why that messaging was put out.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@DanielleMorrill @dok2001 Yes! Are you acceptance validating on the other side of build?

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

OMFG, the hedging with Opus 4.8 😱

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@wongmjane Deep cut 😂

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

The Cloudflare versus Vercel battle just went next level! 📈

[VoidZero @voidzerodev]

VoidZero is joining Cloudflare.

Our mission stays the same: to make JavaScript developers more productive than ever before. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ remain MIT-licensed. Evan and the VoidZero team will continue leading them.

Cloudflare shares our commitment to open source. Together, we can keep investing in the tooling developers rely on every day, while bringing the Vite ecosystem and Cloudflare’s platform even closer together.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@zeeg Nope. Confirmed here. We reverted back to 4.6 with 4.7 for development. So far "I don't like" 4.8, but it's very productive so I haven't reverted.

The harness improvements we made to make 4.7 align with our platform charter have held through 4.8. Opus 4.5 is the gold standard.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@mitchellh Congrats!

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@Jaytel Interestingly enough, 4.7 in a heavily tuned harness is inoffensive. The migration (I won't call it an upgrade) from 4.6 to 4.7 required considerable tuning. Made the harness much better though. That's the only benefit I've seen so far with 4.7.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

@Jaytel Facts. Reverted to 4.6 last week and I'm back in the zone for now.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

GPT-image-2 benchmarks higher than Nano Banana 2, but my testing doesn't back up real output. It's an order of magnitude better in terms of quality, speed, and ease of use.

DM me if you'd like a copy of our findings.

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

I've been building something that solves real pain we're all experiencing working across teams with AI today. I'd love to see if it aligns with your experience.

[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

[Dan Shaw @dshaw]

I've been working on something really cool with @SaraD , which you'll hear a LOT MORE very soon. We'd love to hear your feedback on how AI fits into your current workflow.
