ngl vibe coding is giving maker movement energy. most of it's gonna fizzle out the same way.
but agentic programming isn't going anywhere. that's for engineers who actually know what they're doing and can orchestrate ai teams to get real shit done.
it was never about prompting. it's about architecture.
we just moved a ton of internal tools from mcp to cli. google admin, crm, google ads, meta ads, all of it.
mcp was burning tokens on overhead that added zero value. cli just executes. faster, cheaper, and way less attack surface.
not everything needs a protocol. sometimes a script is the answer.
half the comments you're reading online right now are written by ai and you can't tell the difference.
how valuable do your private skool groups, discords, and mastermind communities become when the public internet is nothing but bots talking to bots?
This story is actually insane:
• dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic
• refuses to use the normal app like a peasant
• Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller
• Claude delivers the goods
• pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully
• except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums
• checks again
• yep, seven thousand
• DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification
• any valid token works for any unit on the planet
• Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries
• live vacuum camera feeds everywhere
• full floor plans from the mapping data
• some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching
• one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history
• all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick
• does the right thing and reports it
• DJI fixes it in two days
• back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner
• IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security
jason calacanis says ai agents cost $100k/year at 10-20% capacity. that math doesn't even make sense.
agents aren't burning tokens while idle. you're either using them or you're not. there's no idle cost.
this is what happens when podcast economics meets actual engineering.
people are debating whether ai agents can replace saas. we already built one that runs an entire sales bdc end to end. crm, email, site integrations, full browser automation, inbound and outbound voice calls.
it doesn't take lunch breaks and it doesn't miss follow-ups. rip
rip to 1,200 saas tools at klarna. cause of death: an agent and an mcp server.
$2 trillion wiped from software stocks. they're calling it the saaspocalypse.
if your product can be replaced by an agent and an mcp server you were never infrastructure. you were a middleman.
accenture is now tracking employee ai tool logins and blocking promotions if you're not using them.
good. if you're not learning the tools that are reshaping your entire industry, why would they promote you.
glm-5 just dropped open source. approaching claude opus on swe-bench at under a dollar per million tokens.
enjoy your $200/month unlimited plans while they last. those are loss leaders and everyone knows it.
when the rug pull hits, open source is your insurance policy.
linux foundation is formalizing multi-agent governance standards. about time.
the agent landscape right now is the wild west. no oversight, no coordination, no rules.
governance isn't a speed bump. it's what separates builders from hobbyists.
the ai agent stack is all offense zero defense.
been building something internally called 'project redblade'. runtime prompt governance, inspecting every call in and out. already catching real injection attempts.
this layer doesn't exist for most teams yet. it will.
