I asked Claude to review code Claude had just written.

It found 2 bugs that would have broken the first run. Same model. Same code. The only thing that changed was the question.

Most people never do this. They ship the first draft.

What's your verification step?

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

@DavidKPiano Fable 5.1 writes my Puppeteer and TypeScript every day. The 10 years before it were spent reading other people's code.

Outage days are a free test of which of those two skills you actually kept.

Nvidia just bought Hugging Face for $12.9B.

3M models, 18M developers, and a day-one promise to stay "open, neutral and platform-agnostic".

Neutral is a strange word from the company selling the GPUs those models run on.

Which acquisition promise has actually held?

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

@RoundtableSpace The price is the headline for me. $0.75 in, $3.75 out changes what I'd hand to a model.

I run Fable 5.1 daily on Puppeteer and TypeScript. Benchmarks have never predicted which model survives a real codebase.

Anyone run Flash on a long agentic session yet?

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

A Grok bot was handed $41 and claimed $3,117 two days later trading memecoins.

Survivorship story, not an agents story. Nobody screenshots the wallets that got wiped.

I use coding agents daily. Winning once is easy. Not losing is the job.

What sample size would convince you?

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

@MengTo Same on my side with Vite + TypeScript. Fable 5.1 does the typing, I keep the taste.

The procedural part is what makes it work: when the whole scene is code, a redesign is a prompt, not a Figma round.

Did the 3D menu land first pass, or did you iterate?

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

Starlink just went live in the UAE.

I've worked remotely from 16+ countries. Residency is paperwork. Connectivity decides where I actually open the laptop.

Every "work from anywhere" job quietly assumes "anywhere with fibre".

Where has a connection surprised you, good or bad?

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

@CoinMarketCap Practically here for the part I touch daily: Fable 5.1 writes my Puppeteer and TypeScript now.

Not here for the part that matters: it still ships bugs it only catches when I ask it to review its own output.

A model that needs the second prompt is a great tool, not AGI.

We’re launching tldraw flash, a new way to animate hand‑drawn ideas on the infinite canvas.

Draw a shape, press record, then drag to perform the motion. Trim clips on the timeline, export, and remix.

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

@RoundtableSpace Matches what I saw today. Had it write ~400 lines of Puppeteer, then asked it to verify its own code in a fresh pass.

It found 2 bugs that would have broken the first run. Same model, same code, different framing.

The speed is nice. The self-review is the actual unlock.

[Manu Bhardwaj @shipwithmanu]

Still can’t believe it. No more Messi in an Argentina shirt. Thank you for every moment, every goal, every bit of joy you gave us. The GOAT. Forever. 🇦🇷💔

What a privilege it is to be overwhelmed by a life we once prayed for.

🚨 Dana White says there isn't a single hotel room available in Las Vegas because of Conor McGregor's return! 🏨

"One of the owners of a soccer team is in town, and he and his wife said, 'You know what? Let's go to the fight.'

They couldn't find a hotel room anywhere in the city. There isn't a single hotel room available.

Coming off the White House event, it's looking like the social media numbers will surpass the White House event, which is insane."

Petition to increase the fee to ₹3000 and directly transfer ₹500 to the constable doing verification. This will save users time and hassle.
