My 7yo was blurting nonsense words until he struck gold with "noobular."

@ValDotTown @stevekrouse So the value of my blob helper that namespaced my blobs with project names just went to zero. But! My helper that namespaces with branch names is still red hot

@bradnoble @EBogomolovs recorded for you @bradnoble https://t.co/QanFiJ2wrd

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@stevekrouse @EBogomolovs Holy moly!

Thanks, Steve

@stevekrouse @EBogomolovs The API key tax is real. Please show me how you did it

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah @TheStalwart @collision Agree 100% with your main point _and_ I hope agentic commerce forces companies to make more proof and fewer empty claims that waste time and tokens.

A related question: to what extent will agents make buying decisions based on the # of tokens it takes to consider?

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah @TheStalwart @collision Not all proof signals are rational. Peer signaling isn't strictly rational, for example. The experience of trying something and being satisfied enough is not strictly rational. A POV on MCP vs CLI vs API isn't, either. But they are all proof

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah @TheStalwart @collision Whoops -- I didn't imply that developer-focused companies don't do marketing. I said that I hope agents can be tailored to respond to marketing like developers respond to marketing -- responsive to proof signals over bluster. More proof, less bluster.

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah @TheStalwart @collision I should have included product and docs in my list of trusted signals. :)

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah @TheStalwart @collision Hope agents are like developers. Allergic to marketing and only responsive to trusted signals from peers or thought leaders.

Probably a slider on that setting.

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah At large companies there was an incentive to build large teams. Prestige and influence came from that and led to promotion. Moreso than from shipping quality product.

@charmaine_klee @NotionDevs @NotionHQ see you there

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah I hope you're right. Would hate to become paralyzed with token preciousness, or have to switch

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah Like a Digital Fight Club—the time between when the model companies stop subsidizing tokens, and when token supply is unblocked.

@stevekrouse My inbox is ready and waiting. Consider Townie credits :)

@stevekrouse Sounds like parenthood

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@stevekrouse @NotionHQ Wait til you use it with @ValDotTown !

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@charmaine_klee Super curious

[Brad Noble @bradnoble]

@heyitsnoah It seems to me that we’re just gonna have to accept that refactoring is a constant
