you now have the ability to
- play with every possible solution to a problem
- refactor everything when you think of better patterns
so many people complaining about the code the LLMs produce, if you're not producing the best software of your life right now something is wrong
If @AnthropicAI wants to really flex hard, use Fable to speed up rust tool chain. I'm not kidding. This is a task AI would be perfect at, and we would all benefit because it's clear that rust plus AI is a winning combo and holy crap, we are CPU bound.
I am officially cooked.
• Tokens burned: ~50,000
• LLM parameters leveraged: 50B+
• Task achieved: :%s/old/new/g
My carbon footprint is high, my IQ is low, and my skill issue is evolving at an alarming rate.
@ThePrimeagen lowkey this is how half the best tools get built because someone got distracted from the original project and realized the tooling was the part they actually cared about
ok I think I have ai pyschosis
reason?
I think its so fun building a harness to play my game that I am not even making much progress on my game.
I think I am a tools dev in my heart and setting up something to run CLI commands / talk to server just touches the fun part of my brain
taps sign: agents and prompt engineering is cool but we got real problems to solve. don’t get distracted by the new shiny substrate.
there are cool problems to solve that are enabled through this new substrate but the substrate itself is not the solve
Everyone is writing about agent loops right now. Including us at Cursor, because they're so powerful. But here's a prediction: a year from now, nobody will be talking about them.
Not because they weren't useful. Because they'll work right out of the box. Batteries included. No instructions necessary.
Feels a lot like prompt engineering two years ago. It was incredibly important. People wrote courses on it. Now you just talk to your agent like a normal person.
That's the strange thing about AI right now. You learn something critical, get huge gains, and before long it's the new normal and something else is the bottleneck. So the alpha isn't what you know. It's how fast you learn it, and how easily you can let it go.
The xAI team working on Grok CLI has been absolutely awesome to work with. They were the ones who initiated this collab and they’ve driven it every step of the way.
Increasingly bullish on xAI and the future of Grok
i now create more unfinished projects in a month than in my entire cumulative career.
i can't tell if it's a good thing that i'm able to quickly see my ideas are trash, or if the process itself makes every idea feel like trash.
we landed on a pretty good workflow for doing parallel work in OpenCode
this demo is with git worktrees but i also preview an alternative we're working on at the end
this will be in 1.6.0
