@nathanpeterson @jasonfried We used Claude managed agents at first but recently migrated to Vercel Eve. Could also write your own harness and throw it on a server.

[Josh Forbes @forbescodes]

@jasonfried Love this! We have our agent “lvl” that posts extensively in Basecamp with auto investigation to customer issues, scheduled posts, and on demand questions.

Never thought about letting it manage a Basecamp project. Adding that now!

I believe everyone should have access to superintelligence, and I wrote a long piece about Meta's philosophy and values for building a positive future for everyone. https://t.co/2ZoNZXZ39T

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

I had been coding professionally for 10+ years prior to AI. I cared so deeply about the craft. Consuming everything I could from people like you, @adamwathan, @r00k, etc.

With AI, my interest in getting better at the craft has faded. I'm not the best, but I feel like I'm good enough. I have basically no interest in studying or practicing anymore.

I have a ton of programming books and video courses. I doubt I would ever be interested in a new one.

That being said, I'm having a blast. That desire to become a better programmer/write the cleanest code has been replaced with trying to build the best product.

The technical itch is being satisfied by an obsession with AI. Making myself faster, building agent harnesses, and thinking about how to integrate it into product.

@Tech_girl @pankajkumar_dev We still use Opus 4.8 for our internal managed agents. Too expensive to run those on Fable, so looking forward to the upgrade. Will continue to use the frontier for coding.

[Josh Forbes @forbescodes]

@danielkleach Most recently, the Codex desktop app. Was counting the days to Sol for those couple weeks when I was forced to go back to CC for Fable.

[Josh Forbes @forbescodes]

@thdxr I feel like there is value in exposing your products agent directly to the external agents.

Nice. This is what I've been doing since 4.7 and 5.5 came out. Just bounce back and forth with one as the implementor and one as the reviewer after each major change. I think I currently prefer Codex as the builder but Claude is fine if I need to be able to continue from my phone

[Josh Forbes @forbescodes]

Wow. Awesome launch video!

Also, I imagine this is a really fun product to build. You get to use Cofounder to build Cofounder.

[andrew pignanelli @ndrewpignanelli]

Announcing Cofounder 2: Run an entire company with agents.

It's the infrastructure for the one person billion dollar company - orchestrating agents across engineering, sales, marketing, ops, and design.

(and yes that's my real grandma in the video)

In our next release, Level will have remote control for @OmarchyLinux (and all other Linux distros). 🔥

I told my gf I can't hang out right now

Github is up, so I have to work

don't know when I'll get this chance again

[Josh Forbes @forbescodes]

I love this.

Like Igor, I prefer the functionality of the Source Control tab in Cursor for reviewing agent work. You can navigate through all files the agent has changed and see the entire file to get context. But that tab is useless once the change is commited.

Git Compare is the Source Control tab except for all files that diff from main.

[Igor Šarčević @igor_sarcevic]

git-compare started as a small toy project.

Somewhere along the way, it became my main review sidekick for agentic coding.

Today I’m releasing v0.2.0 with the things I was missing:

• View not-yet-committed files
• Diff counts per changed file
• Change summary for the whole branch

the only cure to uncertainty is taking an unreasonable amount of action until the answer reveals itself

[Zane Hengsperger @zanehengsperger]

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it.

gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know."

he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done."

neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals.

together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity."

spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined.

the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

[Romain Huet @romainhuet]

We’ve seen Claude Code users bring in Codex for code review and use GPT-5.4 for more complex tasks, so we thought: why not make that easier?

Today we’re open sourcing a plugin for it! You can call Codex from Claude Code with your ChatGPT subscription.

We love an open ecosystem!

you're probably underestimating how crazy things are
