Stanford dropped CS329Z today. Engineering AI Agents. compound systems, build RAG/tool use from scratch, then frameworks, then how you actually evaluate this stuff.

gonna follow along online. looks pretty neat.

Hard agree.

Also this is a new feature that just launched in Cove 0.4.0. Share article Clips on X (and Mac share sheet)

@PreslavMihaylov na i think the point is just any typed lang is better than dynamic when working with agents.

Go is a great choice because it’s simple as there are limited ways of doing the same thing.

But I know Go much better than I know Rust so I may be biased

[Mark Phelps @itsmarkphelps]

This.

“a Rust codebase is far more maintainable with agents than a Python one. Types are a form of verification. They provide back pressure.”

— software doesn't need to be readable anymore. it needs to be explainable.

One of the many things I love about @badlogicgames' Pi is that it can just fix itself and its extensions.

This morning it hit some "subagents plugin can't access codemode" BS. tl;dr

I just said "fix it."

Two minutes later, unblocked.

@ricardo1 Theres a better way.

Tailscale + https://t.co/zv9Odr8Sb5

Includes mobile apps that just work on iPhone and iPad

All free.

@johnjoubert Nice! https://t.co/UrtUIzl8QA landing page looks dope btw

[Mark Phelps @itsmarkphelps]

@Joshua_WD It does! It creates a LaunchDaemon

[Mark Phelps @itsmarkphelps]

Got tired of this email from GitHub, and of slow, expensive macOS CI runners.

Then I remembered I have a capable Mac Mini at home.

So I made a skill that sets up self-hosted runners on Linux or Mac. Give it to your agent and save some money: https://t.co/OksfZLbrB2

@chazza Sick AI sled

@aishwarya_08 was using herdr, but this is better https://t.co/zv9Odr8klx

[Mark Phelps @itsmarkphelps]

Switching my dev workflow back to a GUI with Orca: https://t.co/zv9Odr8klx

It does what I want out of the box, and the mobile app lets me manage agent runs on the go.

Much better than herdr + Moshi, with its buggy interface and constant upgrade prompts.

[Mark Phelps @itsmarkphelps]

new term just dropped AI frens:

AI shed.

start shedmaxxing

[DHH @dhh]

Every developer needs an AI shed: An always-on machine running on their tailscale network where the majority of their herdr agents are running.

i wonder if AI-induced ADHD is about to be a thing.

i think i already have it.

Dots = flop
Muse = toy, and I'm not giving Zuck more of my data on purpose
Grok Bot = overhyped

Building your own life OS and agent orchestration system on @Cloudflare = priceless

The content yearns to be free

[Mark Phelps @itsmarkphelps]

Reddit, LinkedIn, and (somewhat) X are all trying to keep agents away from content their users wrote.

That's not a moat. It's a slow exit.

Users will go where their agents are allowed in.
