This is so good Ty.

Basically, looking at inflation over time, we look pretty good here.


Against what other metric? Income? Stock Market? Debt?


Oh man - hearing that we’re building MCP’s where there is no CLI makes me super nervous.

It’s one thing to dupe the functionality of your CLI for better agent integration. It’s another to make it the sole method of interface locking everyone into a spec that we may decide we can do better at some point. Then we gotta pay off all the MCP debt and it will be cheaper to just not.


I would agree here. And in my experience Qwen 27B and Deepseek v4 are also extremely good.

None of them are quite opus, but they are damned close and a no brainer if you care at all about cost.


This is the result of Elizabeth Warren blocking the merger with JetBlue.

I’m not saying it wasn’t the right thing to do. I don’t know. But this is definitely on her either way.


I felt pangs of emotion reading the post so it’s definitely not just you.

I think because GitHub has been such an important part of my life dating back to the very start of my career - just like you.

And it’s not just the technology, it’s the people. All the great projects there. The countless README’s I’ve dissected trying to setup something new. There’s people behind all of that and that always felt exceptionally meaningful to me.

It has been profoundly emotional to watch GitHub degrade over the past year. It’s almost like watching someone you love slip away. Which I have also done. It’s not the same, but there is something familiar in the pain.

Meanwhile streamers dunk on it in YouTube videos and on X and none of it is funny to me. It’s just tragic.

Now I’m choked up. Dammit all to hell.


I agree. And even on Ubuntu, the performance vs same specs on Windows is ridiculously better.

Apps are still a huge gap on Linux, but as an OS, I choose it every time over Windows and MacOS.


Would it kill this guy to make his site responsive? It’s like one prompt.


This is exactly right. It’s crazy to me how easily people get confused and think that corporations are “good” or “evil”.

Anthropic is incredibly good at marketing. They are constantly out talking about how dangerous AI is an even showing how Claude does dangerous thing in their own testing. This is intentional - so that you see them as having the truly powerful AI. in fact it’s so powerful, all they can do is warn you about it.

They knew refusing this contract would make them look like the good guy. Again. They knew OpenAI would sign it. They knew vapid celebrities would celebrate them.

Folks come on. Don’t be so easily taken in. None of these people are good guys. They are all just here to make money and accumulate power and standing. That’s ok. There’s nothing wrong with that. But we gotta stop acting like we’re in some ongoing battle of good vs evil and tech companies are somehow virtuous.


Even if they believe every word sincerely, it changes nothing. The structural effect is identical. Sincere people build the same capability, the contract reroutes the same way. You don't need cynicism to explain this.

The honest version might actually be worse, because sincere people work harder.


What I don’t understand in these posts is how exactly is the AI checking its work. That’s literally what I’m here for now. It doesn’t know how to log in to my iOS app using the simulator, or navigate to the firebase console and download a plist file.

Once we get to a spot where the AI can check its work and iterate, the loop is closed. But we are a long way off from that atm. Even for the web. I mean, have you tried the Playwright MCP server? Aside from being the slowest tool calls I have ever seen, the agent struggles mightily to figure out the simplest of navigation and interaction.

Yes yes Unit tests, but functional is the be all end all and until it can iterate and create its own functional test suite, I just don’t get it.

What am I missing?


I have been looking for something like this for so long! All I wanna do is stop carrying this rec center card around. Perfect.
