The bonds between brothers will be broken and only one can seize the throne. Watch the teaser for the upcoming Prime Video original series Bloodaxe, from the creator of Vikings.

In my 20 years of C/C++ development, I never would have dreamed that one day AI models like Opus 5.5 or GPT 6.1 Sol would be able to do 90% of my daily work perfectly... And I'm talking about hard problems like efficient allocation-free task managers, architectural refactorings, etc.

@elonmusk And a one way ticket in one of your rockets 🚀 😅

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

@ClaudeDevs Thank you guys! I trust in you! 🙏

@thsottiaux The IQ and taste of Fable…

[Next Token @NextTokenShow]

The Next Token Ep 03 - "I'm Tired of the Uncertainty of Where This Is Going"

@dillon_mulroy , @RhysSullivan , and @threepointone discuss burnout, Claudeisms sneaking into regular speech, chip butties, how to watch movies, and what brings us joy.

mattpocock/skills v1.2 is out!

We're now the 19th most-starred repo of all time. 13.5m downloads on skills​.sh. Thanks for your support!

Here's what's new:

- Docs: the community's biggest ask. Every skill documented, with explanations of the main flows + troubleshooting
- Claude Plugin: install via Claude's official marketplace
- Codex Support: full Codex support via agents/openai.yaml files

Updated Skills:

- /grilling now asks you questions in rounds, not one-by-one
- /prototype now uses HTML instead of a TUI for building logic prototypes - easier to share and far richer
- /writing-for-agents renamed from /writing-great-skills, use it for ANYTHING your agents read (AGENTS.md, system prompts, docs)

New Skills:

- /wizard: tired of provisioning infra? Get your agent to build you a TUI to walk you through it
- /to-questionnaire: hit a grilling question you can't answer? Turn the session into a doc you can walk through on a call with a colleague
- /wait-what: no idea what the model said? Refocus it in your domain language and simplify with ASD-STE100

Full changelog + docs below. Video soon!

Thanks @AnthropicAI for the outage yesterday! 😅

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

@thsottiaux Codex is cheaper, smarter and doesn't limit me using a special harness. Thanks!

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Morning. The last 48 hours of Codex and ChatGPT Work have been intense! Three important updates:

- Temporarily removing the 5 hour usage limit restriction for all Plus, Business and Pro plans
- Rolling out changes that will make GPT 5.6 Sol more efficient across the board and that will be reflected in less usage being used so that it can take you further. Exact impact to be quantified and shared
- We hit 6M active users, and are landing a usage reset in the next hour

Go do things

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

I definitely think that AI coding is a really great tool when it's in the hands of a senior developer who can read and understand code. You can tune your harness based on your own skills and make it great...

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

@mattpocockuk Your skills are the reason for me for continuing using agentic coding. With grill-me -> to-prd -> issues I now get exactly what I wanted from Claude/Codex. Thanks! 🙏

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

IMHO AI is just a tool and if used wisely it really can help solving complex problems or even implementing some boilerplate stuff. Combined with the great skills/workflow from @mattpocockuk you get the most out of agentic coding.

@cmuratori AImazing!

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

If Lumen isn't the answer for GI, maybe Bevy will soon come up with a great solution: https://t.co/R79RTcVWHm
The puzzle isn't fully solved yet, but we will see...

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

@OverdrawXYZ @andrew_mendlik Great! Are you using a SceneCapture2D on the player itself for the floor splats or do you do some magic and rasterize particle heights in Niagara? (Grid2D)

[Michael Herzog @VitaminCpp]

It's a real shame that our children can no longer feel safe in our country these days...
