@johnrush Agreed. I also think we'll see more generative UI, so for pieces where chat doesn't make sense for entry, AI will generate on demand UI, tailored to the user.

@BretWeinstein Great we needed to downsize it, now we know who to let go.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@johnrush I've been thinking about this problem a lot lately. It seems very hard to break through now days. It might have to be a front end thing, chrome ext that filters out large VC backed firms by x-ref Crunchbase for those who want to find Indie makers🤔

@SnazzyLabs Hot take Europe is not a country! This is different in different countries in Europe.

@Austen The only difference from how it operates right now would be the taxpayers would get some upside. They're basically Gov entities at the moment. All their money comes form Gov, their board are ex DoD people and they have lobbyists to get laws passed in their favor.

@windsurf The latest version sucks! The UI is way less intuitive, it puts in todo lists for simple question, auto imports memories on new clean conversations and is generally geared towards vibe coding and not professional engineers. The older versions were better.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

The latest @windsurf is going backwards. The UI is harder to use and less informative, it also seems to take longer and do more without you asking, creating todo lists for answering simple questions. It seems they're gearing towards vibe coding and not professional engineers.

@NakedGunMovie This is going to be box office disaster isn't it?

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Just proves rich people are stupid.

@Osinttechnical Especially given that the EF-18 apparently doesn't have thrust vectoring.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@Osinttechnical That's some absolutely amazing flying and shows the insane capabilities of these aircraft.

This is an issue with the person directing the AI not the AI. I rarely have this problem

The #1 problem with coding agents right now:

Ask them to solve one problem, and they will make 10 other changes you didn't want.

This happens to me every day. It happens to everyone I talk to as well.

We have a solution for this now. The team @augmentcode released a "Task List" feature for their coding assistant that solves this problem. Augment Code is partnering with me on this post.

In case you haven't used them before:

• Augment Code is a fully-fledged coding assistant
• Their specialty are large projects
• Fastest coding indexing I've seen
• Has a free forever community edition

Now, you can ask their coding agent to generate a Task List before doing anything. This will give you a plan you can review, edit, and augment if you need to.

You can export this plan, load it on a different session, or even share it across projects.

It makes a huge difference:

The task list constrains the agent so you won't get any "unintended" changes anymore. It also puts you in control of everything the agent does.

Check the video to see the agent working through a task list. You can also try this 100% free: https://t.co/k4XS2Vw1qG

(By the way, they also have support for remote agents. You can basically have those agents write your code while you are sleeping.)

@OfMikeAndMen Jordan Peterson has talked about this some.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@nntaleb And NO, it didn't stop the spread, that was a complete and utter lie. I don't know a single vaccinated person who didn't get COVID.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@nntaleb What data showing a drop in mortality? It doesn't exist. Latest studies show they were far less effective then thought and most of the positive impact was in the older population, vaccinating the young was a massive mistake. https://t.co/8Vqvs09pLo

@ios_dev_alb I already wrote a library for myself that does this with more then just Apple models and works on any platform including Linux. I see little benefit in this, too limited.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@engineers_feed Now do Nuclear

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@CarlosBBuild Have you considered using Swift Vapor 4, for your backend? That way you don't have to switch to JS and a completely different IDE and tooling.

[AI Optimist @ptliddle]

@xlr8harder You can do it in a glass container as well.

[Nico @nico_jeannen]

If that's how you think, you're NGMI

Many engineers have the "imagine paying for this" fallacy

Yes, I would gladly pay $100 for a chromium wrapper that has a better design and makes me +50% more productive

Many other people would.

Congrats, you just discovered commerce!

No ones gives a shit about the fact that "it's just a wrapper" or that you could "make it yourself".
That's precisely the point: you don't waste time making it yourself when someone else can do it for you.

Do you buy vegetables at the supermarket?

"NO HAHAHA, IMAGINE PAYING FOR CARROTS YOU CAN GROW IN YOUR GARDEN xD"
