Can AI autonomously redesign my entire website? I used 100% agentic coding and my orchestrated AI workflow to see if reality matches the hype https://t.co/WEedxsFC9Q

@greg16676935420 wow, i didn't know you were the better man

[Rich Snapp @snapwich]

the US would have won this war if not for iran's ability to do the obvious things they said they were going to do

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

UNPOPULAR OPINION: THE U.S. WOULD HAVE WON THIS WAR IF NOT FOR IRAN'S ABILITY TO CLOSE THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND BOMB THE GULF

[Rich Snapp @snapwich]

honestly thought this was a joke when i first saw it.

have to say, i'm a bit disappointed to learn that it's not and now have to consider if flue still works for my use case.

is there really no "React for Agents" yet?

this the AI-iest slop that has ever slopped

🇺🇦🇮🇷 What if the Ukraine strike on Iranian ships in the Caspian wasn’t accidental?

Ukraine recently hit vessels in the Caspian Sea that it says were moving military cargo between Iran and Russia.

Iran confirms one of its ships was struck, with casualties. and Zelensky openly claimed the results.

This isn’t a random long-range hit. The Caspian is a quiet backdoor for Iranian-Russian cooperation, drones, parts, and supplies that never have to touch the Black Sea.

Hitting ships there directly links the Ukraine war to the Iran theater.

Now the question writes itself. Was this purely a Ukrainian decision, or a deliberate NATO-aligned move to open a new front and squeeze the energy routes that keep both Russia and Iran supplied?

If the goal is to turn the conflict into a wider energy war, fertilizer, grain, fuel, shipping, then striking the Caspian is a clean way to start merging the battlefields.

And once that door is open, it doesn’t close easily.

@dampedspring big mistake. they should have gone with something more reliable, like a toyota or a honda

with the current levels of uncertainty around inflation this is now anywhere between two million and infinity million.

@davepl1968 they need to turn it from suck to blow

@ramit the first step is for her to actually start tracking her spending. right now she's running off vibes to determine how much money she has and where it's going.

once she visually sees the waste she's more likely to get onboard with creating a budget.

the one conspiracy i believe is that this place is full of bots programmed to say insane, incendiary things and they're funded by foreign organizations who want to divide americans and destabilize US society

@MarioNawfal just ask the guy filming on the other side to open it

[Rich Snapp @snapwich]

yeah but he donated his salary

[dethective @dethective]

I analysed the 900+ pages of the Trump financial disclosure report.

He extracted 1.1 BILLION from crypto, divided like this:

> $635.1M → TRUMP memecoin
> $236.3M → WLFI token sales
> $196.9M → Sale of ownership interests in the USD1 stablecoin venture
> $65.6M → Sale of part of Trump's stake in World Liberty Financial
> $6.0M → Melania Trump's NFT sales and collectibles business
> $1.82M → Ethereum validator (staking) rewards

The biggest scammer of all time

@Jason he forgot one:

"do companies that add value to the world compete with my company? no"

[Rich Snapp @snapwich]

now i see the issue. actually wait. the issue is the opposite. now i understand the full picture! actually… let me reconsider.

here’s the actual problem: there is no problem.

[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.

i also have a three and five-year old. i drop them off at school at 7:30am and my wife picks them up at 4:30pm...

honestly that's fine, i get it. remote work doesn't work for you. everyone is not you and accusing remote workers of committing fraud is just stupid.

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

Why Remote Work is White Collar Fraud.

"I have a three-year-old and a five-year-old. The idea that I could do any work at my house is like a total fantasy.

The kids come home at 3pm, your work day needs to keep going. I'm highly against it." @typesfast

[Rich Snapp @snapwich]

@mattpocockuk it also compounds because agents always "improve" things by adding more context, they seldom refine through removing or consolidating ideas.

i think there's ways to improve this but still just experimenting. my current experience is the same as yours, it's a struggle.

@marcospereeira @paulg Are you actually comparing the application of the Lean Startup to launching a war with Iran
