For work, I run Engineering at @callhyper
For fun, I build Norns:

Vibe coding is dead. Don't buy into the hype. It just produces slop and creates more work for everybody in the long run.

That's why I've transitioned 100% into Vibe Engineering, which is obviously the future of the industry.

[Anson MacKeracher @amackera]

Mimir is the first reference agent on Norns. Python worker, Elixir runtime.
The post is mostly about what that split buys you, framed around the time I accidentally tested it by closing my laptop mid-run.

Norns now has a landing page and a homebrew tap. Durable execution for AI agents, on the BEAM. Check it out if Elixir is your thing.

@TVanWelsenes Hell yeah!

I got obsessed with long-running agents (like, days, or months, or even years), and couldn't find good tech to support that goal, so I built Norns: https://t.co/haW3n7Zzze

@CiprianiRanieri Most agent frameworks assume everything goes right. Norns assumes everything goes wrong.

Kill the process, restart it, agent picks up where it left off.

Elixir > all

@danielbergholz Been using Fly but the MPG product is a headache and expensive

@faizan10114 I’m 🇨🇦 and building Norns, a durable runtime for agents.

@JakeKing I’ve been building Norns, a durable runtime for agents: https://t.co/haW3n7Zzze

[Hyper @call_hyper]

Hyper (@call_hyper) is excited to announce that it has been acquired by Motorola Solutions (@MotoSolutions), a global leader in mission-critical safety and security technologies for public safety, defense and enterprise customers.

Wrote up the code and what's happening under the hood here: https://t.co/IASyYgEO7T

[Anson MacKeracher @amackera]

I built a durable agent runtime in Elixir. It persists every step. Workers are stateless and replaceable.

In this video I kill the worker twice during a run. Both times, the new worker picks up the queued task and finishes the job.

Check it out at https://t.co/haW3n7Zzze

@ThePrimeagen Norns, because agents need fault tolerance, not just vibes. Durable runtime built on the BEAM.

[Anson MacKeracher @amackera]

Agents that do real work need stronger guarantees than “retry a few times and hope.”

That’s the core idea behind two posts I published this week:
1. why durable execution matters
2. why I built Norns, a durable execution runtime for AI agents on the BEAM

Dear people who think a single em dash equals LLM-generated content: You don't read enough.

Seems like every AI company is either a) rolling out LangGraph, or b) rolling their own LangGraph.
