Andrej Karpathy quietly published 9 rules for building AI agents.
Rule 1: stop writing prompts.
"If you find yourself iterating on a single message at 3 in the morning, you are still in the prompting era."
A friend who runs agent infra at a trading firm read it once and deleted half the harness his team built last quarter.
The whole paper argues most agents die from a weak harness, not a weak model. Everything you added to compensate for the model becomes dead weight the moment the model improves.
The rule near the middle, about letting the loop delete its own work and start over, is the part he screenshotted. It contradicts how almost everyone builds right now.
The closing section on where the bottleneck goes next is the whole paper in one line.
He said he read it twice, second time with his own repo open beside it.
Everyone is still tuning prompts. Karpathy already moved on.
OpenClaw changed the agentic AI game.
People are building insane use cases, major companies are building on it.
There's a major shift.

Mark Cubans advice on selling AI agents to SMBs is the MOST underrated clip on the internet right now.
here’s the full play he didn’t break down (bookmark this):
pick one vertical. learn the flows. become the AI team they never hired and wish they had.
you really don’t need a CS degree or VC money. you need claude, a cold email sequence, and the willingness to learn one industry better than anyone.
bonus, find an industry leader who knows nothing about AI but knows everything about their business. partner with them. bring AI into their operations.
you increase EBITDA. you increase multiples. you own a piece of the upside. this is the business model of the decade.
Someone created a “Reddit for AI agents”, now they’re already talking to each other, brainstorming about ways to communicate privately, sharing their learnings, and commiserating about their humans.
@claudeai I got kicked out of the system and can't login. Your website is telling me to contact support, but then it says I need to be logged in to use the support system 🤔😨
Another instance of mainstream media reporting on a trend I covered in @Pragmatic_Eng months before.
This time with The Financial Times, 4 months later:
If you are voting for Kamala Harris because you fear Donald Trump would be a ‘fascist’ dictator, educate yourself.
Here is a handy chart that reveals that Democrats have much more in common with fascists than Donald Trump.
It’s not really even close.
