@Philo01 @AnthropicAI My claude review agent went awol like this a few months back - had to pull it from GH entirely - constantly throwing random thoughts into GH.

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@IanLandsman The pushback you’re getting is insane - I totally agree with you. It’s their product!

Introducing PAO: Agent-Optimized Output for PHP Testing Tools. ✅

It works with any PHP project: Laravel, Symfony, Laminas, vanilla PHP, or anything else that uses PHPUnit, Pest, or ParaTest.

Just run composer require, and you're done. ✨

Watch here: https://t.co/x3QE5965iR

@enunomaduro Literally just opened the pestphp github, ready to roll up my sleeves to create a minified agent friendly output and here we are - this is EXACTLY what was needed! Would love to see this default agent output for Pest!

@jasonfried Someone mentioned this already, but I'd love some more detail about how this differs for greenfield projects. i.e how you're applying this thinking to Fizzy for example and where you've removed some constraints it imposes - where is the balance?

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@taylorotwell @adamwathan @pascalbaljet The DX of that is superb, nice job

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@jasonfried Are there plans for Fizzy to support a ShapeUp workflow, or is that best left in Basecamp? (Pitch write-ups etc?)

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

Shots fired from Google! I'm very much enjoying the competitive nature of the AI race, even if I'm unbelievably overwhelmed by choice.

Question is, how does this stack up against Claude Code and Codex?

Say hello to the @geminicli, a local CLI to help you build and maintain software with 1,000 free Gemini 2.5 Pro requests per day : )

@adamwathan Split this into two components:
- Github issue automation - i.e wire up Claude Code to have a first go at the ticket (or Github Agent or...) https://t.co/syoBQC0nbd
- Build something that does the initial identification of the new features and create a ticket with context needed

@sama I pinged support a clear example of the GPT 4.1 w/ Responses API going in circles with combo of web search+tools (repeating web searches + the full response 10x). They've got a reproduction shared playground link but I feel it's falling on deaf ears - anyone that can help?

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

Did OpenAI undercut Microsoft's announcement intentionally or is this unfortunate timing.

Anyone had the time to side-by-side Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and the new Copilot Agent?

Not looking for a strong week for Cursor adoption, that's for sure! 😬

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@dean_mcpherson @peteremad944 @taylorotwell I think there’d be more demand for this than you’d think! Trpc style frontend with types? Take my money

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@dean_mcpherson @taylorotwell 👀 Any plans to open source that? Looks great!

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@jdevalk Headless with a server side rendering loop on first page load is totally crawlable without JS (i.e the likes of Faust from WPEngine as a default)

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@jasonfried @nelsonjoyce @jasonfried Did you ever detail more about how this works for new products? Would love to read more about it.

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@aschmelyun FaustJS frontend, WordPress backend drives our business site!

[William Julian-Vicary @williamvicary]

@dopitz This is convenience sugar, you can interface with the validator directly and do your pure separation of concerns if you wish.

Just a shortcut to passing the request data into the validator given how common use case it is 🤷‍♂️NBD

@ohho @JustSteveKing You could do a SPA group, with a middleware that adds the rate limit and then you’re done?
