I built my own AI stack at home — gateway, memory, two databases in Rust, speech, a forge where models write their own tools. Every line of code was written by a model. I haven't typed a line myself in a year and a half.

Doom needs aims. Aims need wants. Wants need stakes — and a stake is the one thing intelligence doesn't grow. I spent two years poking the exact spot where a machine's want would have to live. The result:

The Stakes — watch the builders, not the machines.

Nothing that flexible is a description. It is a key, and it opens whatever door its holder is standing in front of.

@Kinza1278 This does depend of the definition of a hole, which isn't as clear cut (pun intended) as one would think.

@SakshiSugandhi Performance would suffer if it was just the Password. But technically you are right, you re-invented API Keys.

@Aditya_181105 I'm coding with a mix of GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, MiniMax and Qwen. All subscriptions and coding fees combined cost me less then a months worth of Claude, and I can run many coding sessions with multiple agents without a worry pretty much all day.

@jahirsheikh8 The token limits are a mess. I don't want to constantly check if i'm hitting one of them.

@ravikiran_dev7 There is like 1% of developers in the world that would produce the image on the right. For the rest, Coding and Vibe-Coding looks like the image on the left. It's just everyone believes they are in the 1%.

@BadalK99277 "falling in love" might be a good analogy... programming is exciting and fun, but also devastating and cruel at times.

@justbyte_ Clean code was never a good idea, but now in the age of AI it even lost it's flawed arguments.

@Bhavani_00007 The concept of an IDE was a mistake from the beginning. VS Code was/is the solution. Now they tried to much to become an IDE and some of the purity is gone, but it's still a lot better then any other way of writing code. (shut up vim people) :)

[herrbasan @herrbasan]

@justbyte_ SWE will be a round for while still. So i'm doing that, until that's gone.

@nalinrajput23 The tools don't matter, only the models do. You can make it write what ever ability you feel like the tool of choice is missing as an agent. The LLMs gladly do it for you.

@Bhavani_00007 Software engineering, yes
Programmin, no
