we got hit with a crazy scam attempt
someone signed up for our inference and did a video call with our sales person confirming intent to spend $400,000 over the next year and asked for increased rate limits
our sales person felt like something was off so he looked up the company - found a bunch of videos of the CEO and it looked and sounded like the same person he talked to
so he figured it was real but we started looking deeper
the email they had been talking to us from was a lookalike domain that was registered 4 days ago. all the traffic they were sending looked bizarre and came from foreign IPs
emailed them for more info to see what they'd say. of course they hit us with the "i'm about to get on a plane, can't do anything right now, please move forward"
messaged the real CEO on instagram and yeah he had no idea what we were talking about, the scammer was deepfaking him
be careful out there, things are getting crazy
We built https://t.co/ESOyv3KDeM to ship shaders on https://t.co/pLuAOUwBOE. Now it's open source.
▪︎ Minimal agent-first WebGPU library
▪︎ Run in the browser or headless Node.js
▪︎ Render in CPU sandboxes and CI tests
▪︎ Create reusable .wgsl modules
At HumanLayer, we’re on a mission to solve the AI slop code problem.
In 2025 we open-sourced our Research, Plan, Implement framework, now deployed inside fortune 500s like Block and Uber - places where shipping slop is just not an option
And that was just the beginning.
Today, we’re opening access to HumanLayer - an Agentic IDE, collaboration platform, and building blocks for your software factory.
HumanLayer enables engineers solving hard problems in complex codebases to:
> move 2-3x faster across the entire SDLC (not just coding)
> maintain rigorous standards for system architecture and program design
Hundreds of engineers at companies of all sizes are already using HumanLayer to ship fast without sacrificing quality.
I'm excited to invite you to try humanlayer today at https://t.co/cQ648EkrnG, and I'm even more excited to see what you build.
@0xblacklight and I are deeply grateful to our team, our customers who give us so much incredible energy and feedback, our investors who have always been in our corner, and our friends and family who have supported us along this crazy journey
if you're a staff or principal engineer trying to make AI coding work at scale for your team, we'd love to hear from you
as @swyx likes to say - let's make this the year of no more slop
