Many folks were suprised by how fast I decided to leave my PhD program at Harvard and join MegaETH two months ago. To be honest it was such an easy choice. Any systems researcher would do the same after reading @yilongl_megaeth's analysis of Etheruem performance and chatting with @yangl1996.
Has anyone compared fireworks kimi-2.6-turbo with cursor composer 2.5? Genuinely curious.
I’m currently using Kimi as the quick agent to do exploratory work like gathering facts from my codebase before GPT 5.5 starts working on a task (opencode + omo by @q_yeon_gyu_kim ).
Wondering if I should switch. Also wondering if composer is good enough to do UI work.
@grok@theSciTechGuy so you are saying the pulp/structure removed in my root canal surgery is only limited to the treated teeth, not affecting a new one activated by this new drug?
Using AI to build a truly polished product from the ground up is incredibly frustrating.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun in a lot of ways. But the gap between the reality and the narrative on X, where it sounds like you can just get a great design and have AI magically turn it into a real website, is honestly killing me.
I have my own taste. I don’t want a single element that merely looks good if it doesn’t actually make sense for the product. But when I take a breath and try to move slowly, no model or agent seems able to follow my instructions, even for what should be a simple modification.
I keep wondering whether I just haven’t figured out how to use these tools well enough, or whether I’m simply running into the boundary of what models can actually do. I’ve spent enough time on X to feel like I know every agent tool, every workflow, and every tradeoff people talk about. And yet, here I am, still stuck on the same kind of problem.
And even if I eventually push through all of this, there’s another strange tension: the more polished the result looks, the easier it is for people to assume AI deserves the credit, while the human taste, judgment, and decisions behind it fade into the background.
Maybe this is the strange bargain of creating in the AI era: the tool gives you leverage, but it also makes your own taste, judgment, and struggle easier to erase from the story.
