I asked Claude to compile the Linux kernel from my phone

Seeing a lot of Claude × Telegram features/bots lately - I've been building one too, but went deep on telegram-native features and focused on development use cases

The fun part is the mini apps:

- Swipe-based code review (tinder for diffs basically)
- Markdown viewer with inline commenting; feedback goes back to Claude
- Terminal viewer for background tasks

Also:

- Forum topics = parallel Claudes
- Voice notes auto-transcribed locally (moonshine)
- Claude can ask follow-up questions mid-conversation (AskUserQuestion)
- Full set of permission prompts mirroring Claude Code - diffs, command previews, approve/deny/accept-all

@picocreator @AMD Holy smokes 😲 how did the $150K come about?

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

Sandboxing. Sandboxing.

LLMs are unpredictable. With the most advanced models, the chances of such commands being executed is small, but never zero.

You need infrastructure-level isolation.

I'm so angry... the OpenAI team is looking into it, but this feels like something that should happen with GPT-3.5.

Not a mid-2026 frontier model on the highest reasoning level.

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

Update of that r/ProgrammerHumor post for mid-2026!

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

@picocreator Lol not to this extent but yes I found myself repairing the dang door because the handle fell off.

As a founder, your number one job is to eat shit.

You're on the call with the upset customer. You need to fire people by telling them directly. You're listening to the engineer who wants to quit due to burnout. You have to read the 40-page vendor contract, which is a nightmare to go through.

Every hard, uncomfortable thing lands on your desk. That's the whole job. You're here to absorb the bad stuff so everyone else can keep moving.

Claude Fable vs Duo the Duolingo owl.
That haunting Duolingo owl has met its match. 🦉

Everyone's launching ML infra, but only one launch has an octopus Pokemon emotionally supporting the founder

“don’t train your own model” is common ai advice. it's wrong. your token bill's the proof.

today, we’re excited to launch castform into open preview. castform is the easiest way for you to train your own model, on your own data.

open-weights models are performant and much cheaper. when trained on your task & proprietary data, they beat closed models. the thing standing between you and that was weeks of plumbing & years of ml expertise.

with castform, model training is as simple as prompt engineering. @castformai

bring your agent traces or raw corpora. castform turns it into training data, picks the right algorithmic recipes, manages gpus, and gives you an ide to watch and chat with your model as it learns.

see what you can build with castform👇

100% doing this right now

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage.

The credit covers usage of:
- Claude Agent SDK
- claude -p
- Claude Code GitHub Actions
- Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

@noahzweben My goal is just to have a proper, functioning Claude Code experience on mobile

Running on Claude Code on mobile SSH is actually a better experience than the mobile app. I will switch to Codex from June 15 onwards, not worth putting up with this.

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

@noahzweben I use Claude Code interactively using a Telegram bridge I built via Agent SDK.

Why did I do that instead of the Claude app? Because the app is terrible! It takes forever to connect, I cannot spawn sessions from existing projects, there's no proper VM-based sandboxing...

@JohannKerbrat Looking for a HR/recruiting/EOR partner? We at Glints can help make the process as smooth as possible.

I have an open-source project that aims to make the best use of Telegram features, including mini apps! So you can truly build on the go

Opus 4.6 just shipped with Agent Teams so I did what any sane engineering leader would do.

I asked it to build a global payroll system. For 180 countries.

It spawned 180 teammates. One per country.

4700 tasks on the shared board. 2000+ files across 120 modules. Tax tables for jurisdictions I've never heard of.

The compliance agent and the tax engine agent got into an actual argument about Indonesian PPh 21 withholding brackets. Back and forth. Five messages. The devil's advocate agent sided with compliance.

None of it worked.
But boy was it beautiful.

@craigzLiszt Been doing this for months! Byobu + Termux over good old SSH.

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

@benln Just DM'ed :)

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

AI products can't afford to let users' first experience be from a model that's not the absolute best. Many people don't have experience with strong AI products yet, and a mediocre first impression becomes their mental model for the entire technology.

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

Not sure if it's intentional on Anthropic's part, but defaulting to Opus in Nov 2025 was a pretty smart move.

One reason to be skeptical of AI, and thus adoption, is the first touch experience. Seen this play out - "GPT-4o generates slop output, therefore *all* AI still sucks"

[Wong Yong Jie @yjwong]

How about making the critical setup screens compatible with local accounts? 😒

[Jonathan Blow @Jonathan_Blow]

These stupid excuses are the worst part. They think their customers have an IQ of 63.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5—the best coding model in the world.

It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It's the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains on tests of reasoning and math.
