When Opus 4.5 came out, it was a one-way door to a new way of engineering. Agents now do most of our coding.
Knowing the inherent flaws and over-confidence of LLMs, we sent a clear message to our teams. Vibing and mission-critical infrastructure don’t go together.
We’re sharing some of our early internal guidance in how we’re “agenting responsibly”, prioritizing security, durability, and availability at all times.

From the first chapter of Walden, where he discusses clothing. Here is the full excerpt:
"A man who has at length found something to do will not need to get a new suit to do it in; for him the old will do, that has lain dusty in the garret for an indeterminate period. Old shoes will serve a hero longer than they have served his valet -- if a hero ever has a valet -- bare feet are older than shoes, and he can make them do. Only they who go to soires and legislative balls must have new coats, coats to change as often as the man changes in them. But if my jacket and trousers, my hat and shoes, are fit to worship God in, they will do; will they not? Who ever saw his old clothes -- his old coat, actually worn out, resolved into its primitive elements, so that it was not a deed of charity to bestow it on some poor boy, by him perchance to be bestowed on some poorer still, or shall we say richer, who could do with less? I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes. If there is not a new man, how can the new clothes be made to fit? If you have any enterprise before you, try it in your old clothes. All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be. Perhaps we should never procure a new suit, however ragged or dirty the old, until we have so conducted, so enterprised or sailed in some way, that we feel like new men in the old, and that to retain it would be like keeping new wine in old bottles. Our moulting season, like that of the fowls, must be a crisis in our lives. The loon retires to solitary ponds to spend it. Thus also the snake casts its slough, and the caterpillar its wormy coat, by an internal industry and expansion; for clothes are but our outmost cuticle and mortal coil. Otherwise we shall be found sailing under false colors, and be inevitably cashiered at last by our own opinion, as well as that of mankind."
Tomorrow, @HarpPandher and @TaqdeerThindal will be calling the Sharks game against St. Louis in Punjabi for our South Asian Culture Celebration game.

What’s the US’s “fourth” city? Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Hopkinton, Wellesley, Newton, or maybe NYC?
I philosophically want to despise slop bowls, but I eat them five days a week at this point and have perfected the ratio of umami, carbs, crunch, and fresh vegetables.
Sam McGillis didn’t decide to spend hours shoveling snow purely out of the kindness of his heart. But he thought that if he could add new spaces, "it’s the best way to address my frustration and actually help the problem." https://t.co/aGyhwDaqG3
one thing about me, I hate when people talk shit about San Francisco.
if you don’t live here or have never stepped foot in SF ONCE, respectfully, shut the fuck up.
