@aaronbassett@lisbonai_@Cloudflare This is v cool. I'll be so curious to see if it's how we all begin to represent ourselves online in the not so distant future.
there are tiny moments in life when you witness your partner go from dad to hero in your child's eyes. Building the train track to end all train tracks this morning was certainly one of them.
This is why I'll always read the code and understand, architecturally, how things work vs not knowing and trusting an Agent with whatever it says.
Having an understanding of how your systems work, how the systems/platforms you use work, and how it works programmatically is so crucial.
Otherwise, you're at the mercy of your Agent.

This is by far the most fun I’ve had playing around with infrastructure in a while.
@flydotio’s Sprites made “just try it” the cheapest option, which is exactly how I want to be experimenting with agents.
The agent runs on the Sprite, not on my laptop, with the machine as a tool; the shell, toolchain, and broken repo are already there.
The whole project, including every mistake, cost about $16.

"Does it build?"
It's the one question hackathon judges rarely get to answer, because 60 teams in an afternoon leaves us almost no time with each project, let alone time to run it.
So I ran all 164 submissions from one event, each on its own disposable computer. 69% of them built. A quarter wouldn't have built on any machine but their authors'.
I built a tool to catch confident wrong answers from hackathon submissions. Then I put a coding agent on each broken build to try to fix it, and the agents turned up 6 confident wrong answers in the tool itself.
Those "build failures" from last week's post were the environment, not their code. Corrected. Everything ran on @flydotio Sprites, agent included.
Here's what the agents fixed, what they tried to get away with, and what else they caught. 🧵

mini roadtrip south to the big city for @lisbonAI_ 🚗
such a throwback traveling to an event just the 3 of us. OG devrel days, back when we'd bring Beau to conferences as a baby. love that we still do this 🤍
