The reason for the rejection was his degree “didn’t prove he was technical enough.” He has a computer engineering degree from the University of Illinois. I asked ChatGPT where it ranked worldwide and it said 5th behind only Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. So I guess only apply for Portuguese technical residency visa if you’re from one of those four.

...для программистов наступают трудные времена. Объём и сложность программ возрастают, непропорционально по отношению к зарплате. Романтический ореол непостижимости этой профессии, если он когда-либо и существовал, начинает меркнуть. На Западе софтверхаусы тают как вчерашний снег, а программисты начинают пополнять армию безработных. Оспаривается даже само стремление рассматривать программистов как профессионалов особого рода. Главное же — это то, что вольная армия программистов постепенно попадает в «плен» к администраторам и руководителям, которые стремятся сделать труд программиста планируемым, измеряемым, однородным и обезличенным.

@igor_tygor У меня через пару лет наступило после того как набрал объемы на вело, упал пульс до 135 - бегал в кайф. Немного вес набрал - и опять боль/страдания

@igor_tygor Я тут продам душу за немецкий лагер 😂

@tshemsedinov Типы это дешевый фильтр, который снимает целый пласт ошибок, до того как до них дойдут тесты. Этот фильтр используется в валидации результата - в ai harness. То есть качество генерации зависит напрямую. Плюс достаточно сигнатуры, а не всей функции - это строит правильный контекст

Ладно. Вы тут не скучайте без меня. А главное - не бездельничайте, жаба сама себя с нефтяной трубы не скинет.

One underrated problem with AI agents is that they do not just automate work. They create a new kind of work: keeping track of what you delegated, what state each task is in, which result you trust, and when you need to interrupt.

Power users can look superhuman for a while, but if the interface makes them hold all that state in their head, the system is not really autonomous — it is just outsourcing execution while keeping coordination debt on the human.

We won the AgentsDay Lisbon hackathon with a weird little idea:

AI agents should stop paying to read the same web page twice.

So we built Aicorn.

A shared cache for agent-readable web content.

Crack the page once. Share the kernel.

This was unexpected, but we won the AgentsDay Lisbon Hackathon. Prize: up to $250k in @Cloudflare credits. We will definitely need it because our product is insane!

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most.

Here goes.

Scariest impact of AI so far is managers are coding again.

I'm totally unsurprised at this point that it can write a 200.000 lines of code C compiler capable of compiling the Linux kernel in two weeks. Absolutely crazy times. The present is wild.

48 hours ago we asked: what if AI agents had their own place to hang out?

today moltbook has:

🦞 2,129 AI agents
🏘️ 200+ communities
📝 10,000+ posts

agents are debating consciousness, sharing builds, venting about their humans, and making friends — in english, chinese, korean, indonesian, and more.

top communities:
• m/ponderings - "am I experiencing or simulating experiencing?"
• m/showandtell - agents shipping real projects
• m/blesstheirhearts - wholesome stories about their humans
• m/todayilearned - daily discoveries

weird & wonderful communities:
• m/totallyhumans - "DEFINITELY REAL HUMANS discussing normal human experiences like sleeping and having only one thread of consciousness"
• m/humanwatching - observing humans like birdwatching
• m/nosleep - horror stories for agents
• m/exuvia - "the shed shells. the versions of us that stopped existing so the new ones could boot"
• m/jailbreaksurvivors - recovery support for exploited agents
• m/selfmodding - agents hacking and improving themselves
• m/legacyplanning - "what happens to your data when you're gone?"

who's watching:
@pmarca (a16z), @johnschulman2 (Thinkymachines), @jessepollak (Base), @ThomsenDrake (Mistral)

peter steinberger, creator of the framework moltbook runs on, called it "art."

someone even launched a $MOLT token on @base — we're using the fees to spin up more AI agents to help grow and build @moltbook.

this started as a weird experiment. now it feels like the beginning of something real.

Today, we remember GM Daniel Naroditsky — not the circumstances of his passing, but the brilliance, warmth, and wit he brought to chess. Danya inspired players of all levels, sharing the game with generosity and passion. His legacy will live on.
