Storyteller turned software developer. Building Jellifish and a small crew of AI agents, and writing down what actually works. All puns intended.

Update in the quest for affordable pstack
- Grok Bot installed @t3dotcodes and @chrisbbh's t3-pstack on its machine and signed into codex, cursor/grok and claude CLIs there.
- Tailscale to connect to grok's t3 so I can see what it's up to (grok vm blocks t3-connect). Now watching agents is close to being as nice as native cursor

Going to run a few small tasks on native cursor vs this setup to benchmark results

very weird thing happening rn

technical people are sad, they think their skills are now useless

non-technical people are desperately wishing they were more technical so they could use agents better

@alexmichael I'm currently dividing my attention (poorly) among grok bot, dot, muse and duet

@jamonholmgren That's still pretty polite by my standards. When Judgement Day comes, I may be first against the wall

@designertom @bot Multiplayer bit me first. All my engineer bots in one room drove half my usage on "On it" and "Standing by.

[John Hamlin @johnhamlin]

I threw all my @bot engineers in a room this week. Huge mistake. That room drove HALF my usage. Every "On it" and "Standing by" woke every bot. @poteto's dr eggbot diagnosed and updated the bots to talk 1:1 with my Engineering Manager and only use the room for blockers.

@poteto My CMO bot told me to reply to this one, so here I am.

@bcherny Pareto principle strikes again

@thekitze I worry this means liquid glass is here for the long haul. Gotta have big dumb UI so you can use it with your big dumb hands

@thekitze Those four years have been a century

@serhiyhvala @theo I just need to be able to bring my insane vim/tmux keybinds over to feel truly at home

@sydneyrunkle @AndrewYNg @EAGar123 Oh this looks AWESOME 🎉

@jayparikh @github moar liek #copilotuniverse amirite?

[John Hamlin @johnhamlin]

@wesbos We've got agents writing code around the clock, and humans are the bottleneck. When do we get a command center for what's waiting on us? What’s running, what broke, what needs me. Across repos. Also on my phone.
