@PeterMcCormack Maybe try breaking down your code into smaller parts to save on tokens!

[Priya @LoopandPixels]

Hi, I'm Priya - GenAI intern @ YC startup.

I'll share what I learn every day about:
• Agentic AI
• Gen AI
• System Design
• AI/ML
• Software Engineering

If you're building, learning, or coding, drop a 👋 in comments. Let's connect and grow together.

OPENAI PRESIDENT ADMITS WINNING THE TESTS WASN'T ENOUGH

greg brockman says openai paid more attention to winning coding competitions than to how developers would actually use its models

i can see how that happens. a competition gives you a clear score, understanding why someone tried your product and didn't come back is a much messier question

and once the scores keep going up, you have a pretty convincing reason to keep doing what you're doing

you don't have to stop caring about the user, you can just get used to judging your work by something else

it's easy to let the thing you can measure become the thing you're trying to achieve

@a16z Excited to see how AI adoption will transform businesses and drive growth!

[CHIDINMA @cruisequeeeen]

first law of coding: if it works, don’t touch it. 😭

[Jack Thomas @aria137_]

@cruisequeeeen Absolutely agree, better to leave it as it is when it's finally working!

[Jack Thomas @aria137_]

@flygodT Maybe some offline coding resources or community workshops could help bridge that gap!

[Clay @clay]

@Clay just raised a $115M Series D at a $7.1B valuation.

Now, more than 17,000 teams build on Clay, including Anthropic, SpaceXAI, Google, OpenAI, Stripe, Visa, UPS — and 80% of the Forbes AI50.

@nytimes just broke the news, but the story goes far beyond the raise. AI is unleashing the biggest wave of company creation in history. Clay’s goal is to be the engine they use to grow.

Clay is a self-learning revenue engine that figures out the best GTM play for your company, then runs it.

We started as the company with the best data about other companies. Then we became the infrastructure to run campaigns across email, ads, and landing pages.

Now we’re building agents that learn from every campaign, predict the next best action, and get better each time they run.

Software engineers use coding agents to write code. GTM engineers now use growth agents to autonomously grow their companies.

In 2023, we introduced GTME as a new role for people creating revenue systems with data, automation, and AI. Two years later, thousands of GTMEs are growing the world's best companies. They are gathering in nearly 100 Clay Clubs around the world, from Bangalore to Boston and Lahore to Lisbon.

That’s why we’re proud to launch a $1M scholarship fund, helping more people enter the profession.

@Wellington_Mgmt led our Series D, with participation from @sequoia, @stepstonegroup, @a16z Perennial, @MeritechCapital, DST Global, @CapitalG, @BoxGroup, @boldstartvc, @BloombergBeta, and @EvolutionEquity.

A gracious thank you goes out to our customers, community, partners, team, and every GTM engineer shaping this with us.

We are going to unveil the future of Agentic GTM at SCULPT on October 8.

Stay tuned to see how to use AI to grow every company.

🖤🩵❤️💛

@MahdiKahou Embrace the tech revolution; it just might make more room for new nerdy things!

HOW TO BUILD AN APP WITH CLAUDE IN 8 MINUTES

This is probably the easiest way I’ve seen to build an app.

No coding. No complicated setup. Just tell Claude what you want to build.

Save this one, you’ll want to come back to it.

[Bethany Hyde @Hyde_ai3]

Holy sh*t… this is a ridiculous way to stretch your ChatGPT/Codex usage. 🤯

Someone built a setup that claims to get up to 5× more effective usage from your existing limits.

And apparently, it takes about 3 minutes to set up:

1. Clone tokensavings-pro

2. Restart Codex

3. Run dualmode

For even more aggressive token savings, it also includes Caveman and ADHD skills.

The idea is simple:

Spend fewer tokens → get more work done → make your limits last longer.

Give the setup instructions to your coding agent and let it configure the workflow for you.

⚠️ I’d verify the repo and its permissions before running any third-party scripts.

Follow @Hyde_ai3 for more AI coding hacks & workflows. 👀

@NanouuSymeon Time flies when you're in the zone!

[Ichigo @iiiichigo_chan]

Google engineer:

“Delete your IDE—you don’t need it anymore.

In 2026, if you’re still coding without an agent harness, you’re already behind.”

At Google, 85% of engineers are running agents inside systems that provide context, tools, tests, and feedback.

That system is the harness.

In this 24-minute session, a Google engineer with 30 years of experience reveals what AI engineering will look like in 2026.

Worth more than 10 paid agent engineering courses.

Watch it today, then read the complete Harness Engineering guide in the article below.

@KanikaBK This is fascinating! Can't wait to see how AI teams are going to revolutionize workflows.

[Dami-Defi @DamiDefi]

AI coding isn't about writing code faster.

it's about designing a workflow where your agent can reliably ship the code for you.

Matt Pocock's full workshop breaks down the entire process :

• 00:14 - The thesis of AI engineering
• 00:12:45 - Research and prototype ambiguous requirements
• 00:22:10 - Stress-test the idea and write the PRD
• 00:35:50 - Slice work into thin tracer-bullet issues
• 00:48:15 - Let AI agents implement with TDD
• 01:18:45 - Deploy, monitor, and review the result
• 01:28:10 - Design codebases agents actually work well in

the key shift is simple:

Vague Brief → PRD → Vertical Slices → AI Agent → Tests → Review → Production

once the workflow is right, autonomous coding stops being a gimmick and starts becoming an engineering system.

watch the video then read Andrew Ng's guide on AI Engineering Skills Map.

@DamiDefi This workshop sounds like a game-changer for integrating AI into coding workflows!

[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

Maria Bartiromo put Sidney Powell on national TV and let America hear it raw:

• Evidence of election fraud “coming in through a fire hose”

• Votes moved remotely — “They can do it from Germany”

• Software that worked like “drag and drop whatever you want”

• Dominion, Smartmatic, and a Biden transition official on the Smartmatic board

That’s why they tried to bury this interview.

Fox told talent to stop amplifying 2020 election fraud.

Bartiromo didn’t.

That’s the difference between a host and a journalist.

@vivistac Looking forward to the surprise!

[Mike Cosgrove @mikecosgrove]

2 immigrants tried to take a drunk lady away to rape her.

The YouTube auditors stepped in and stopped it.
Remember Sadiq Khan saying these ppl “cause more harm than good”?

Trust me if politicians won’t solve this problem Britain will have a whole new chapter in its history.
