@ivandotcodes Wow thats seems really good

[Thariq @trq212]

We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code.

Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md.

You can toggle this behavior in /config.

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

Yes!

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

You don't get it, I build software to relax

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

I’m seeing teams at Vercel iterate just as fast on Zig, Go, Rust projects as TypeScript & Python ones.

The days of language or runtime choice based on human convenience are over. Agents are the new compilers.

They compile intent into fast software.

[a16z @a16z]

first principles all the way down

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

@rrhoover Is it just me, or do I think I know what this is a reference to?

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

Good one

[Adam Wathan @adamwathan]

Big one today — Tailwind is joining Shopify 🛍️

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: OpenAI reveals a 10,000-agent AI swarm solved the Navier–Stokes problem in 88 hours, using 130 billion output tokens to crack one of mathematics’ most famous unsolved problems.

[Sam Altman @sama]

I wonder how many people will have fallen in love with an AI chatbot by 2026.

[Rudrank Riyam @rudrank]

App Store Connect CLI 5.0.0 is out!! 🤩

One of the biggest releases I have ever shipped, and one I am so proud of. A whole AI week went into this.

There is a LOT here. Let me show you what all new you can do now:

Nod (@hellonodapp) is expanding from a personal AI coworker into a shared intelligence layer for teams.

We’re onboarding a small group of design partners: shared context, work-tool integrations, custom integrations, SSO and enterprise security support.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12.

We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them.

[Vlad Kampov @vladkampov]

WebMCP lets websites expose structured actions directly to AI agents.

Instead of finding buttons and filling forms, an agent can call actions like “search,” “add to cart,” or “create ticket.”

It’s trending because OpenAI just added support to ChatGPT’s built-in browser.

Big day for Nod https://t.co/Rs4HJkVYpf

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

This is very nice to see that the job you've done and the outcome is the paid users, and they are happy with a product

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

By the way, I think that the future is when a user can create their own UI absolutely without any interactions with some SaaS platforms.

If a user wants a calendar, just one prompt. Boom!

If a user wants a Kanban board, just one prompt.

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

money is rolling in

[Financial Times @FT]

Good morning, Asia. While you were sleeping, one of our most-read stories was about Google burning through cash for the first time since going public decades ago as it raised its spending forecast for AI infrastructure. https://t.co/mYimix2GWy

[Dima Barabash @dbarabashh]

@theo Maybe there's something bad with me, but I don't feel too much difference
