@satanacchio Super good!

[Karolis Narkevičius @kidkarolis]

@kobyjconrad @oxfrancesco_ That’s the wrong mode - you want auto-review https://t.co/kMuSyWsNgg

[Karolis Narkevičius @kidkarolis]

@pnpmjs Yep, makes sense - just wondering, can Node.js / v8 be sped up further 😅 Wouldn't hurt to ask an agent..

Wild that it was so easy to switch to 5.5 in the last few weeks. Codex desktop app is also very neat. We’ll see what Opus 4.8 brings (next week?)

[DHH @dhh]

For complicated agent work, it's amazing how much GPT5.5 has improved. I found 5.2 to be very far behind Opus. Now using Opus 4.7 after 5.5 feels like a big step backwards. Gotta love this level of competion! Strong comeback for OpenAI.

OK fine here is my thought. To a close approximation:

- When code *is* the product, you are going to want expert human engineers carefully controlling the result to maximize reliability

- When code is a means to an end, you won't

Notice that this rule can be run in reverse: because humans control the result of products that are code, I theorize you'll see increased demand for "productization" of more and more infra.

Basically a bifurcation of the software space: infrastructure and slop. And I don't mean slop in a disparaging way. There will be lots more quick software getting written by everyone. It won't ever be perfect, but it will get the job done.

But in order for this to work well, it needs to sit on an absolutely solid foundation. More solid than the software community has produced before. This foundation will be very carefully managed by expert practitioners. It will have to be, because we will have 1000x more software running on it than we ever have before, created autonomously.

@karrisaarinen @mitchellh My issue with diffs - it only lets me view the ones assigned to me, but that’s not our/mine workflow. I need to see all open PRs and browse through them and search for them (we have 50+ open at any given point). Or is that possible and I missed it 🤔

I regret to inform you that Ask Jeeves is dead. The site closed yesterday. Web 1.0 lost another founder.

Ask Jeeves: 3 June 1996 - 1 May 2026. Send no memes.

[Karolis Narkevičius @kidkarolis]

Anyone found where to migrate to? 🤔

[Tom Warren @tomwarren]

yesterday I reported on GitHub employee concerns about reliability and leadership, and then hours later GitHub suffered a catastrophic outage 😬 https://t.co/bu8hHLNJzi

[Karolis Narkevičius @kidkarolis]

@sama there is no Upgrade button in https://t.co/TwjOwrkZbG anywhere 🤷‍♂️ and the "Get pro" https://t.co/4qMjjUZ0Oc link here just opens chatgpt, no upgrade modal or anything..

Running a company:

2020: can you survive a pandemic?

2021: still here? we’re going to give all of your competitors $100m series A rounds.

2022: wow, you made it? okay, all engineers cost $600,000/year now.

2023: nice job! okay, SVB failed and we’re going to take away your bank account.

2024: a survivor I see. but can you pivot from ai to crypto to defense tech back to ai-enabled defense tech in a 12 month period to stay relevant?

2025: unfortunately all of your competitors have raised $2b series B rounds. oh and only 500 engineers are relevant and they cost $100m/yr each.

2026: well, well, well. you’re still in business? let’s deploy the thunderclap of godlike LLMs from the heavens so all of your customers can rebuild your app in 2 hours. can you survive?

[Humaans @HumaansHQ]

Ever wondered why there’s two As in Humaans? 👀

[Karolis Narkevičius @kidkarolis]

I arrived to a setup where i have multiple permanent worktrees in my dev dir and alias them to w1, w2, w3, w4 etc., ww for root, and wt list shows me the list of worktrees and what branch each is on. now i can jump between them by just typing w3 enter, etc. and launching claudes in there.

@claudeai are you fixing the cmd up / cmd down kerfuffle 🥺

[Karolis Narkevičius @kidkarolis]

@augustl Or better at sales.
