Made myself an iced espresso and now I can actually function

Agentic AI engineering isn't just about connecting LLMs to tools.

It's about designing autonomous systems that can reason, plan, execute tasks, coordinate with other agents, recover from failures and operate reliably in production.

Save this roadmap. Learn one concept at a time. Build real agents as you progress.

The goal isn't just to build AI agents.

It's to engineer autonomous AI systems that actually get things done.

Love seeing PG healthy and playing well 😊

[Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA]

Joel Embiid on his relationship with Paul George:

"Off the court we have a special relationship. Families are close, especially our kids. I love him. That's why I'm extremely happy for him. He's healthy, he's playing well...You can kinda say he's been their best player."

[Mike @MikePayne03]

I hate when players argue a call while their man gets an easy layup

[Token Gremlin @TokenGremlin]

My thoughts on GPT-6.2 Sol so far, based on my own tests:

It's a massive leap over GPT-6.1 Sol. What's even more impressive is that I'm getting better results than GPT-6 Astra, even in Max mode. I prefer its design taste to Opus 5.5's, and it's incredibly fast.

A few things really stand out:

- I've run dozens of Three.js, WebGPU, and HTML tests and barely used 10% of my $200 Pro allowance.
- It's creative from the first response. I don't have to keep asking for changes to get something beautiful.
- So many first attempts already make me go, “Holy shit, this looks incredible!”

The limits are honestly what impressed me most. Being able to keep trying ideas without worrying about suddenly running out makes a huge difference when you're using something every day.

And the best part? It's coming to Plus with generous usage limits too.

This is what I've wanted from OpenAI. Not just better answers, but enough room to actually enjoy using it.

I'd be embarrassed if an NBA player talked to a fan like that

[BrickCenter @BrickCenter_]

Bronny James to an overweight Pistons fan:

“Can you run a mile? How much money you making?”

She was then KICKED OUT of the arena

[Mike @MikePayne03]

AI models get old so fast now, it's kind of ridiculous

[Token Gremlin @TokenGremlin]

GPT-6 Astra launched 2 months and 4 days ago, and it feels like such an old model to me.

Looks like OpenAI took the whole "slowing down" thing a little too seriously.

[Mike @MikePayne03]

I need to start keeping up with Ryan Conwell

[Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305]

Ryan Conwell ladies and gentleman

He’s handling every time down

He’s swarming on defense

He’s crashing the boards

He’s knocking down multiple threes

This rookie is hooping guys

[Mike @MikePayne03]

Has anyone tried an AI coding agent on a real project yet?

[Mike @MikePayne03]

@chrija @karpathy I still say it too, the phrase is kind of fun 😁

[Mike @MikePayne03]

I love seeing Maxey get the respect he deserves

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

Jaylen Brown says the Philadelphia 76ers are Tyrese Maxey team

“Maxey’s been leading the way, 100%. He’s been here, this is his team. Him and Joel have been here for a while, so the mindset has been to compliment those guys. I’m finding my footing, but Maxey’s been leading the way for sure.”

NBA players are unreal sometimes

[StatMuse @statmuse]

The only player in NBA history with

45+ PTS
15+ REB
5+ AST
5+ STL
5+ 3P

in a game.

[Mike @MikePayne03]

I hate when old NBA game footage cuts off the score

[Hardik Gohil @GohilHardy]

hot take:

most people praising AI coding tools have never maintained a large codebase in their lives.

[Mike @MikePayne03]

@IntCyberDigest That is terrifyingly easy to fall for

[Mike @MikePayne03]

Devin Booker is so fun to watch, happy birthday!! 😁
