@ti_morse @elonmusk Can you please ask him some technical questions? I feel like there’s a trove of experience that no one asks about. Not just “what was hard” but “how did you solve it?”

Ask his favorite interview question: tell me about something difficult that you built.

Grow Your Own Tools

"Make me a personal ChatGPT called ChetGPT with this open router key XXXX"

"Sure, let’s use pi coding agent for the tool loop."

"Cool, let’s create a dev and prod folders where we edit the code on dev and have a deploy script that pushes it over to prod and restarts."

"Host on @ssh_exe_dev which puts your server behind an authenticated proxy. Log in on your phone, install as a PWA."

Now I can build anything I want from my computer or phone, just talking to it.

Evolve into whatever you want. You get a powerful AI and Development system baked right into your application

@AndrewPrifer Who’s gluing this to Shadcn?

1/ Some things I've learned recently running coding agents on large-scale projects. Most of this contradicts advice from 6 months ago!

These articles from the Meaning Alignment Institute are so interesting!

It explains so much about how social institutions decay and the voids that are left in their place.

@pmarca It would be interesting to see government expenditure explicitly laid out here.

@Object_Zero_ @paulg If the 19yo is now waiting until 30 to have a child, then you’d expect a steeper slope in yhr 25-35 range, not the same slope

@tanishqk @badlogicgames I don’t get it

@zen0wu Yeah, I'm using pi-coding-agent under the hood. But I'm thinking apps more broadly, beyond just a TUI. Apps that ship the build system with it so they can "recompile" themselves.

[Chet @ccorcos]

Is anyone building bootstrapped AI software? I want tools that rewrite themselves. I've been playing around with this and it feels like the future...

@LabyrinthCoder @rookepoole Is there a typescript or python library I can look at?

[Chet @ccorcos]

@sambodanis This sweet! Great catching up with you :)

[Chet @ccorcos]

@rookepoole @LabyrinthCoder I'm having a hard time with the lingo here. What's a "substrate" in this context?

[Chet @ccorcos]

@thatguybg It depends how big of a circle you draw around the market. People have had personal assistants forever...
