building the web since 2001

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

Coolest thing I’ve ever built by far. The feeling that you’re living in the future never goes away.

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@ryanlanciaux for your consideration

An app can be a home-cooked meal (2020)

personal software was a bit early in 2020 but in 2026, it really can be as personal as a home cooked meal, or a handwritten letter

Just because everyone can cook doesn't mean there aren't any chefs.

The jobs data coming out continues to suggest the opposite of what a lot of people had thought would happen.

Just take engineering, as the prime example of the area with greatest AI impact (and perceived risk). Most companies now have far more software projects than ever before because of AI, and effectively only engineers are going to be the ones doing that work.

You can get by for a while by being non-technical building software, but eventually someone has to understand what the thing is that got built, has to maintain it, has to fix security issues that come up, upgrade the systems beneath it, and so on. That’s all jobs.

Now apply that to a number of other job functions. AI is going to cause companies to hire more in sales because agents can let them process more leads and do more customer research. AI will cause an explosion of new marketing roles because of how much more efficient it is to launch campaigns and target. The list goes on.

AI is going to have the opposite effect that lots of people thought on jobs.

@stephen_wolfram thoughts on the seeming ruliological workflow primitives that Anthropic has discovered?

@zeke "Minimize code churn."

We are mold on a breadcrumb debating if we should branch out to the entire loaf.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

You are completely idiot and brain dead.

Space will unlock :

Hotel on the moon.
Astéroïde mining.
Amusement park on the moon.
Travel to mars.
The infrastructure to build Dyson sphere.

And infinite other cool stuff.

Brain dead you are.

Space X will be between 30 and 50T in few years.

It’s a no brainer.

@victorsavkin there is something deeply satisfying about classifying information processing into little composable workflows

@Briankeating AI can do this thing that previously AI didnt do.

But can AI do that thing that AI will inevitably do?

@yak32 webxr support?

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@GregorySchier now i see why you dont need a skill

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@GregorySchier i'd be curious to see the data you get if you query your history for "merge conflicts" and similar to see how much time you could save.

(i built a tool to do it faster but claudex can do it too https://t.co/L8E8asz7gR)

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@justinsunyt should've had agents review it

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@Dan_Jeffries1 tell claude/codex "use https://t.co/L8E8asz7gR to query my history to find the most useful skills for my workflows"

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@ryanlanciaux when i first clicked, I was thinking "is this really going to teach me something?"

and I really wanted to see what I was getting before paying.

[Doug Lance @Douglance]

@ryanlanciaux could have the playable board there and load demo PGN to show how it works and let the person try to close it out from that position.

they can't choose the PGN so it's not their game, but they can use it and learn a bit for free.
