Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.
But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?
We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.
We call it Quick 👇🧵
@saeed_vz@luisurrutia_dev Can we consider the extensions API "locked in" now? I went through a few refactors for an extension to match the latest changes 😅
A lot of orgs have yet to make the shift to shared agents.
Frameworks such as @openclaw and @NousResearch's Hermes make it possible, but care needs to be taken in their setup and management, especially with regard to access control.
Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier.
This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!
I'm #69 of 1,000 initial contributors building VibeBench, the coding benchmark that measures what actually matters — how models feel when used on real work. https://t.co/M53nCPjffV
We’re announcing: VibeBench, a new benchmark for what actually matters — how models feel when used on real work by experienced software engineers.
But, we need your help. Here’s how it works:
1. An initial cohort of 1000 qualified software engineers (join: https://t.co/07nrXfMthQ)
2. Groups of 250 evaluate new models for 2 days on real work.
3. Participants subjectively rank the model relative to other models they have experience with.
4. On day 4 a report is released with objective results derived from the subjective tests.
How can you help:
1. We all need this benchmark to exist, but for it to become reality, we need an initial cohort of 1000 qualified software engineers. If that’s you, please join!
https://t.co/07nrXfMthQ
2. Repost this! We need to reach as many qualified engineers as we can find.
3. Share this initiative with everyone on your engineering teams. Together we can make this benchmark a reality for all of us.
Wayne Barlowe is an American artist, illustrator, and writer known for building extremely detailed visual universes, both of extraterrestrial life and—especially—of Hell. His infernal work is not merely aesthetic: it is a complete system, with its own biology, architecture, social hierarchies, and even internal economic logic.
Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1:
Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight?
Me: Yes they're done.
Partner: Why are they still dirty?
Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.
Jeff Bridges pulled up to John Goodman’s Walk of Fame ceremony in the actual Dude sweater — Goodman’s reaction is pure joy. Cinema history hugging it out.
Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.
Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.
Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"
AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.
teleologically the point of ycombinator “the startup that creates more startups” was to birth openai, the dawn of the autonomous self-casting spell at the end of capitalism. so garry tan going into the ai psychosis monastery to build gstack is all part of his artform and remit
