every prompt i send now ends with "but in assembly".

lets see what happens.

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

peak software engineering was that brief window where AI wrote great docs and bad code

we didn't know how good we had it

anyway, back to de-slopping 20 docs pages

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish @orca_build @t3dotcodes okay, i am going to give it a go. you convinced me to try

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

genuine question: if i only use claude code, do i need an "agentic development environment"?

how is it different from claude code desktop?

(i've been too afraid to ask)

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@jh3yy please don't. I am going to cry.

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@dexhorthy mine is: "can you make it a bit rounder"

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish @orca_build @t3dotcodes but what about it provides a better experience? 😅

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@georgeorch what's better about it? i run parallel agents on claude code desktop, each using a worktree. Is there a feature that i am missing

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@quasicoh turkey sitting alone at the lunch table again

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sm0olr don't forget the completely out of context docs update for <thing> being removed

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@thepaulbalaji :o token usage reveal too pls

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish @bot @poteto perhaps they are not aware of it yet

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish @kristaletz don't forget your multi-tenant calculator app too

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish @OpenAI @thsottiaux dots is awesome.

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish Diversification is important ☝️

Some news: I’m joining OpenAI to lead product management for Core Products!

I have a lot of respect for OpenAI for showing the world that scaling works, for bringing AI to over a billion people, and for believing great products are core to the mission.

I’m excited to work with @thsottiaux, an incredible PM team, and everyone across OpenAI. Together, we’ll build agents that have your back and your team’s, and keep you in control, so you get more time for the people and work you love.

Lots to learn, and lots to build. Please keep your feedback coming!

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@mattpocockuk We used to ask "how do we make this unit/integration testable" and design the code around the answer. Feels like the same principle here.

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

After having these conversations with myself (and @chrisjbattarbee) we decided to open source @withHumanAI under Apache 2.0.

Because lets face it. Anyone can copy anything with a single prompt. No license protects you from it.

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

On second thought, how much protection does the Elastic licence really offer now that code is just so cheap?

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

@sbalujaish I have been influenced.

[Ece Kayan @ecekayan]

Funny how being an "influencer" seems more valuable than being a software engineer these days.
