claude duet flips the flow. you don't prompt it, it comes to you

• flags what needs your attention
• keeps working when you step away
• asks before it acts for you

basically an on-call teammate that pages you, not the other way round

would you let it run overnight?

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.

It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

@NomadicMehul @claudeai @AnthropicAI Yeah will wait for it! 🙌🏻

found a site that answers "what's the free version of ___"

Open Sourciety lists open-source alternatives to paid apps (Creative Cloud, Final Cut, etc.), sorted by craft: video, photo, 3D, audio, dev tools, self-hosting and more

Jio IPO is all over my feed today and it took me straight back to 2016 when mobile data suddenly got dirt cheap

what's the first thing you binged or downloaded when that happened? 😅

the weirdest cool thing I've seen in a while

Cheng Lou's Handwired turns plain JavaScript into a neural net. no training. a ternary like a > 4 ? 10 : 12 becomes ReLU math, outputs match the JS exactly, and it runs in the browser without a GPU 🤯

honestly the most mature incident response plan I've seen all week

[MalShare @mal_share]

We are aware of the PHP vulnerability and are shutting down for the weekend.

the sequel:

me: claude just bump one dependency
claude: done! also upgraded the cluster to a k8s version that doesn't exist yet

me: hey claude, can you patch the latest PHP vulnerabilities?

claude: absolutely! i've also refactored 37 files for you.

me: what

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

kinda disagree. tabs vs spaces never changed whether the build passed

the harness decides which files get touched, what commands run, and when it stops. that's closer to picking your CI runner than your indentation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Caring a lot about harnesses rn feels similar to caring about tabs vs spaces

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

Hey look what did I found😉

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

Just published my first article. Took longer than expected because I kept rewriting parts that made me look like I knew what I was doing from day one

Everything that actually broke migrating ECS to EKS

Would mean a lot if you read it

me: agent, fix the flaky test
agent: fixed ✅
me: how
agent: deleted it
CI: 🟢
me: 🙂

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

@al3rez 98.6% from prefix cache is wild. so the real cost lever is just not breaking the cache mid-session? kinda boring answer tbh

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

@livingdevops we run our own runners on k8s, so a sketchy action isn't on github's box anymore, it's inside our cluster. pinning actions to a commit SHA is the boring fix that actually matters

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

@vishalsingh2972 Yeahhehh💀🤣

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

@FpeSre haha 🙌

[Akshat Mistry @the_akx]

@_avichawla CI hit this years ago. a job waiting on someone's approval shouldn't keep a runner busy the whole time. agents need the same pause-and-resume
