What building your personal agent dev harness feels like these days.

A rite of passage for all Jedi.

This is definitely the near-future. Every company needs gstack or something like it..

Token availability needs to increase 1,000x or 10,000x though. Maybe more. Feel like I'm back in dial-up days...

Get those AI satellites up in orbit @elonmusk 😁

[Jarrod Nettles @hayvok]

@garrytan Gstack is good. It's like running the "token afterburners" non-stop though. 😅

Consumed 30% of my monthly pro allotment in <4 hours of work, single threaded workstream... (Sonnet 4.6) I didn't even touch Conductor yet, I was anxious to try multiple.

To clarify - I considered this one of our most performant apps. Runs on the edge. 30 FPS inference. 1 MB of memory per feed. We don't even use a GPU, CPU only!

Autoresearch + Opus 4.6 humbled me today.

Briliant technique @karpathy

Thanks for your Liquid example @tobi

[Jarrod Nettles @hayvok]

Just applied "Autoresearch" to a torch/tflite vision inference service.

I thought we had well-optimized code. I thought I knew how to handle memory in Python.

1 hour and 18 iterations later....

81% reduction in CPU time, 98.7% reduction in memory.

@EthanEvansVP I started to realize this recently (Sr Director level, ~200 employees). My directs were stratified in career level, and I noticed my directors/sr. mgr 1:1 mtgs were less valuable and a bit of a time waste for both of us.

Would’ve been good to see this advice 12 months ago. 🙂

this is so good, I may just literally print it out and pin it to the wall

[Jarrod Nettles @hayvok]

@DOGE Ideally this is strengthening key alliances/interests across the world, reducing the need for military adventures and expenses.

But the reality appears to be far from that.

[Jarrod Nettles @hayvok]

@tobi What year is it. 😵‍💫

@AmbJohnBolton As opposed to some who are indifferent to the risk of actual wars….

[Jarrod Nettles @hayvok]

@airkatakana Sanctions do generational damage, and absolutely work on that timescale.

Blockades would be necessary to inflict the sort of damage you’re talking about.

@Austen Latency and bandwidth are two different problems. Which the author would’ve known if they had any idea of how light or satellite communication works.

PlanetScale is nuking the free DB behind https://t.co/kVvao58GkU

What should I use to replace the DB on this glorified hit counter?

Leaning towards Deno Deploy or Cloudflare KV

@vboykis “Fine, send me your link.”

I click the link.

Site doesn’t load—you have to be on the VPN! Don’t have VPN on my phone - find my laptop.

Site loads - how do I login? Doesn’t use corporate SSO. 🤦‍♂️

Hours later I get access.

@dhh > “If cloud is so expensive, why did you ever go there?
Because we bought the marketing pitch. That it was going to be cheaper, easier, and faster. Only the last promise ever really came through for us.”

It just ends up being a new bucket of money.

@themsaid @unicodeveloper PHP is a niche language, so you usually need to know 1-2 others as a matter of practicality.
