We’ve done the same. The idea of no-code and CMS was that non technical people can change the content.

With AI and decent guardrails that now applies to landing pages built in code too. But with a lot more flexibility.

No more “do we also have this macro as a 3 column version?”

[Warp @warpdotdev]

Our warp[dot]dev site gets 10M visitors/year. We migrated the whole thing from a no-code editor back to code in just 3 weeks.

Very few hiccups, and SEO actually improved. Plus, the marketing team is free to use Warp to ship future changes

Browser company are a curious bunch…

BC: Here’s Arc

Users: OMG this is incredible. Just keep refining it but it’s already amazing

BC: I hear you. We’ll discontinue it and build a new browser called Dia

Users: Huh? We want Arc!

BC: Here’s Dia

Users: Cool but we want the Arc features in Dia

BC: We understand. But what would make you switch from an old, discontinued browser to our new, maintained version?

Users: Add spaces.

BC: Totally. Here’s some AI stuff.

Users: FML

@WisprFlow You've been down for almost a day now. Any chance you could use the $80m you raised to at least post an update on X?

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

How do I get @Spotify to actually pull the latest episodes? Ugh.

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

@thsottiaux CPU usage of the Mac app versus the CLI. On the go I have to use the CLI because the desktop app kills my battery 3x faster. 😢

@BHolmesDev Is the Codex agent status badge working for you, Ben?

It’s fine with Opencode but I get nothing with Codex. I triple checked my config (and had Codex try to fix it).

Seems like a Warp side issue?

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

@jlongster Love this! Any chance you could add a branch selector as another source? Would be great to see the diff against master, even post-commit

Also nice job finally updating the Gemini web UI, Google! MUCH better now 👨‍🍳

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Finally managed to get Gemini in Chrome working over here in AI deprived Europe.

It’s not quite as good at agentic tasks as Comet but I really like it overall! Chrome is finally back at being my default browser after over 7 years!

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Including some @opencode action! @thdxr

[DHH @dhh]

So cool to see @Dell feature Omarchy with its own dedicated stand at Dell Technologies World! Some guy named Michael stopped by to check it out. Not sure who that is 😂

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Game changing.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Hybrid vs Office vs Fully Remote. The data doesn’t lie. 🙃 Can you guess which era is which on my Wispr Flow chart?

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Not sure what happened to Gemini Pro recently, but it seems to lose context within the same thread. 4 prompts into a conversation, it entirely forgot the first prompt, thereby giving me a generic answer rather than one that fits the context of the thread.

Anyone seen this too? I started noticing this about a week ago, and it's been consistent since.

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Large % of my “great podcast episodes” playlist is now made up of @bhalligan episodes.

Very high signal podcast! 👏

Keep em coming please!

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Well that was anti climatic. Was looking forward to this fight for weeks…

Congrats to Ronda!

@thsottiaux Did this impact Azure Foundry too?

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Though please keep working on Atlas @OpenAI - it has so much potential! I don’t want to go back to Comet 😢

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

Interesting that so many mainstream podcasts and people talk about Anthropic releasing at such a fast pace…

OpenAI has been absolutely smashing it with releases this year but at much higher quality. Plus their model family is substantially broader (proper voice, image etc).

Anthropic making so much money is just a function of them being ahead in coding 12 months ago and enterprise moving so slowly (+ annual contracts).

I don’t have a dog in the fight but at this point it’s just Google vs OpenAI.

@Shpigford * git ignored

[Mario Behrendt | AI Founder @behrendtio]

I’m using a thin wrapper script that grabs the next available port starting at 3000 going up.

It then saves all ports (api, vite, expo) to a fit ignored .agents.dev file that is mentioned in the AGENTS.md.

Codex then automatically reads the file and knows where to go for UI checks. So do I.
