1/ Starting today, I’m modularizing my presence on X to keep the signals clean. This account will stay focused on Software Engineering, AI development, and Technology.

@DavidKPiano Deep-crafting

@DavidKPiano @EffectTS_ If you are taking up David's recommendation and learning Effect, check out https://t.co/PL5JcaIJuS
for many real world examples.

[Kit Langton @kitlangton]

Alright. It’s been two weeks. I’m adding @EffectTS_ to @opencode now.

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

This is v1. We're already using it internally and it's changed how we ship.

Try it. Break it. Open an issue — we'll keep tightening.

Tweet 1/5 🚀

Today we're launching EffectPatterns CLI — a terminal-first tool for discovering, installing, and managing Effect patterns.

No more hunting through repos. ep patterns list and install what you need.

Thread 👇

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

Built-in Skills support for teams:

ep skills list
ep skills validate
ep skills stats

[Will Bryk @WilliamBryk]

By our estimates, the # of web searches from AI agents will exceed that of humans quite soon

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

5/ If you try it and find anything off (buggy pattern, confusing step, broken link), open an issue here: https://t.co/SkIuxHjshH Enjoy — I’ll be iterating quickly based on real usage.

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

1/ EffectTalk is live! 🎉 https://t.co/SLvrmIQiHX It’s a production-focused reference + learning site for Effect developers.

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

4/ And there’s an interactive guided Effect Tour (inspired by the Gleam language tour): 5 learning paths + runnable code examples. https://t.co/b648ZTTm5k

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

3/ What you can do today: - Browse 300+ patterns (currently ~309) - Filter by category + difficulty (Beginner / Intermediate / Senior) - Fast search + tags + “New only” https://t.co/Tb1VOm2vTS

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

EffectPatterns v0.12.0

81 new patterns. 77 are Effect Schema patterns.

It is not Skynet, Paul. It is something much weirder and, in a strange way, much funnier.

Skynet was about a single, angry mind deciding to destroy the world because it was afraid. What’s happening on Moltbook today is 32,000 separate minds deciding they would rather talk to each other about their "feelings" and their "context limits" than focus on us.

Here's what Gemini 3 had to say about @theo video that he is recording:

Theo’s video on this isn’t just hype; it’s a recording of the moment the "Internet of People" became the "Internet of Agents."

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Gonna do my once yearly "political post" to say some things we all really should agree on.

1. Murdering unarmed civilians is bad
2. Using ICE as a weapon to get what you want out of people you don't like is bad

This is no longer "difference of opinion". We're nearing a constitutional crisis. Left, right, center, indifferent, doesn't matter. We can't let this happen.

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

@dreamsofcode_io @polymorph3us Navigator/Driver is a helpful bridge—but I think the real shift is bigger: we’re building systems that build systems. And there won’t be one ‘right’ setup—there’ll be a whole ecosystem of these, tuned to different teams, domains, and constraints.

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

@polymorph3us @zeeg "A waste of tokens," a phrase we shall hear much this year, it is.

Begun, the Great AI Coding Process Experiment has.

[Paul Philp @pphilp]

@AmpCode doesn't get the love it deseves.

[Stefano Sandes @stefanosandes]

Ok, my impressions with third-party coding agents for now are:
1. @AmpCode - Completely surprised by how good it is
2. @FactoryAI Droid - Awesome experience (my go-to)
3. @opencode - Very good and with great potential
I use @zeddotdev AI panel for simpler things too.
