Connecting the dots | Writing my way from software dev → AI builder. Sharing lessons, workflows & future-minded notes.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

Organizing a council tonight to decide what book to read on my upcoming holidays.

My health agent, my work agent, my family agent, my finance agent and my personal agent all get to vote.

Each one picks 1 book from my list
And 1 book they come up with

I make the final choice.

@levelsio That's quite expensive if you want to eat organic

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

Underrated: not needing dev → prod at all.
Just run Claude Code directly in prod and ship changes on the fly.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@BetterCallMedhi Offense-defense balance does not shift because of this.

We just gotta make sure to let it find vulnerabilities first on all of our software and patch it. Before the bad guys can.

The same capability can be used to make cyberspace extremely secure. It's just about who's first

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@dazdotdev @NinaDSchick @garrytan Man.. it's like some company found a way to build nukes. That level.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

Just tried the LLM personal wiki summarization thing.

It took some old Sinterklaasgedichten (roast poems for christmas, Dutch tradition) and wrote a page on 'how my poetic writing had evolved over the years'.

We're not there yet 😅

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@fahadullah @chamath This is the way. Only thing missing is some form of decay over time based on age.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@marketplunger1 Did the exact same thing. Added one extra step to split it into a personal and a 'general knowledge' wiki.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@karpathy Love this. Asked claude to build a skill to implement this idea on top of my PKM.

One extra insight: make your PKM a git repo so that the wiki script can check what's changed since last sync.

@BitPaine @nic_carter The whole discussion revolves around how far out the Q moment is. Which is extremely hard to predict in a world of exponential progress and where incentives are high stakes.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@lennysan @clairevo Exactly why I wrote Octopus. A company hierarchy of claw employees with their own roles, managers and a 'sharepoint' to collaborate.

True

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

I used to think the same thing

But the thing I was missing is that it's way easier to upgrade the security of a centralized financial institution than a decentralized blockchain

The strength of centralized entities is that they can move quickly and upgrade overnight

Decentralized required coordination and consensus

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@AlexFinn Running the "cheap" models on cloud infra (like Together or Fireworks AI) seems to be the smartest for cost/benefit.

I'd be afraid the models of next year won't run on the Mac Studio and you need to upgrade again.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

City-fringe locations command a price because they're accessible via traditional transport. That accessibility is the product. When transport becomes frictionless with autonomous vehicles (eventually eVTOL) that product no longer exists.

Location value then I think polarises to two extremes: you wanna be either in the city (direct access to urban density) or genuinely remote (beautiful, quiet. The AV absorbs the distance).

Commuter towns and city-fringe suburbs are caught in the middle. Their entire value proposition dissolves.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

@0xFuckingDegen @WouterHODL Agentic AI. Het kunnen orkestreren van agents (laten samenwerken) is de nieuwe skill.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

Each in its own secure Linux container Shared wiki, human approvals, nice local dashboard

Connects to every messaging app + memory + scheduling.

Built it because I wanted this to actually exist.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

Keeping organized in a world that's moving exponentially faster is harder than ever.

We used to have time to create plans, do some research, apply ourselves to a path. Now we are easily overwhelmed just keeping up.

That's amazing! We're living through extraordinary times. Luckily we can delegate a ton of the work to AI agents.

[Stefan @notesbystefan]

Just open-sourced Octopus — my first proper OSS project 🐙

https://t.co/LmYBkzBR41

It’s a personal operating system that lets one founder run a whole hierarchy of AI agents like a real company.

You = CEO
Agents = tree of managers & workers

Think:
- A Finance coach to watch your budgeting and wealth
- A Health coach to keep you in check for nutrition, training and sleep
- A Work coach that keeps an eye on your ventures
- A Chief of Staff that speaks with the other coaches to determine priorities
- A Personal coach to guard the wellbeing of the CEO

@taalas_inc How is this sustainable if you have to build a new chip for each model release?
