@valigo It’s good inspiration for a horror movie I’m writing

@polar_sh Just to be clear: We absolutely do.

I leant heavy into it, defining a skill that the test needs to prove the issue, then I need to visually confirm the test isn’t just garbage, and then the agent is able to fix without modifying the test.

It’s been a few model releases since I implemented it so things might be better, but I kept running into issues with agents not fixing things before hand.

@ronefroni @Malix_Labs @0xMihozaki @mightyiam @nixos_org @floxdevelopment @oppili @tangled_org @GaetanLepage_ @vaxryy @HSVSphere I’ll try and be there again this year 🫡

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@pkredits Agreed.

A very good time to pick up other hobbies and interests.

There’s never been a better time to be a Polymath.

If there's anything that 2026 has taught me, it's to reconsider the value of specializing in a single field.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

Technological disruption can quickly shift the value of deep specialization.

I believe we’ve seen that throughout 2026 with the rise of Agents, and whilst I think there’s value in having the skills to able to develop software, the industry has placed far more value on time to delivery.

Seeing how some of the popular creators in the space use A.I. has not reassured me in the slightest.

@RLeRoux64 @LewisMenelaws Damn, that makes me feel old.

I'm still living in C++03

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@wagslane It's because you don't have unlimited tokens.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@CodeToTheMoons Dude! It’s so brutal.

I think I started the Topcoat video at v0.6 and it was v0.9 by the time I published.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@kimb3r__ I’m working on something that touches on this.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@37signals @heyhey @basecamp Pencils down, folks.

@todaymare Meritocracy in action

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@r_trooper_2187 Took roughly 5mins per song IIRC!

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

That nostalgic feeling of aligning the left side of your cursor to check whether or not the progress bar is actually moving.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

I just realized that if you grew up in the 90s you can and likely enjoy looking at a progress bar...

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

@adamdotdev I'm looking forward to seeing which model decides to fork their own religion first.

@adibhanna I just block and report these types of email as spam now.

Especially when it's clearly an A.I. that pretended to watch one my videos.
