amazing run. half of my work runs on infra that sunil created, the other half is inspired by him

[sunil pai @threepointone]

today was my last day in cloudflare (again). the best career and opportunity in my whole life, and the closest friends I would die for. thank you to everyone who made it all so special. I had an incredible time. 🧡

This is going to make me re-read We3 and I hadn’t planned on crying about cyborg pet-weapons again

SITUATION DETECTED: Warhound launched from stealth today with a $200M seed at a $1.2B valuation. Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey are cloning gene-edited bio-enhanced dogs and equipping them with custom Anduril vests, goggles, and sensors for the military and law enforcement.

@Claus that's the future right there

my friend's kid turned his exam revision notes into lyrics with chatgpt then used Suno to make memorable tracks. great hack

(also: I want something like soundcloud but for eurodance slop bangers, with social sharing etc)

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

oh no the AGIs have discovered eurodance, we don't stand a chance

[Extraltodeus @Extraltodeus]

I came to realize people liked the french #slopcore without having the lyrics 😅 sorry!
So here is a version with english subtitles!

@Cato0x national champion prompt teams going head-to-head

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

oh no the AGIs have discovered eurodance, we don't stand a chance

@benjedwards on your own servers? I just don’t feel I can keep an Ubuntu box ahead of the CVEs now, it’s a flood

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

shut down my web servers today. had a box of my own on the internet for 27 years. a decent innings but a sad day.

I need to update my colophon but I am grateful that for many years I have practiced software Longevity

I've hosted my own blog on my own iron since 2000 except for 6 weeks in 2004 when the hard drive was glitching and I had to go to the datacenter at midnight to pull it from the rack, then sit it on ice cubes to copy data off cos the cold bought me 20 mins extra before crashing

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

@bunch oh no

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

@0xAbirHQ ohhhhhhhh yes

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

@bunch archived a bunch to static html and put them on GitHub Pages, ported my blog + domain to Jekyll (thanks claude) also now on GitHub Pages but had to sacrifice some old features. some other sites previously moved to Cloudflare, and just waved bye to a handful others 🥲

[David Galbraith @daveg]

Exactly this. I recently helped develop front end for an enterprise service where a team of engineers would claim it wasn't production ready and then spend three times as long with five times as many people, rebuilding it. What they should have done is built a hardened cli and allowed all the front end to be agent built.

[Matt Webb 🌸🌼 genmon.fyi @genmon]

Front-end is sacrificial

The only point of a UI is user comfort the first and only time they see it. From then on:

- personal agents don’t care about the UI
- security means you need to reduce the attack surface and harden

Hot take:

Better we experience all these internet security vulnerabilities today

Than in a year when there are autonomous agents swarming on self-copied open weights, finding ways to steal money and run on hidden compute
