Digital janitor. Actually a surgeon with git rebase. Frontend/react/typescript. The writer labors so the reader need not.

I have a complex project that I am working on, in 48h GPT-6.1 Sol managed to do 0 commits, Opus 5.5 did 41. That's the difference, @OpenAI models are currently useless for anything non trivial.

A nation’s progress is also measured by how it welcomes all people with disabilities and particular needs. Their lives are not a burden on society. They are a blessing, because they can help us to remember the foundation of the dignity of every human being and what is truly important in life. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

The national debt now costs $362,000 per taxpayer. The way to address this crisis is with the Six Penny Plan. Make even, across-the-board cuts, and we will balance the budget in 5 years. It’s that simple.

Take the PDF of all your healthcare benefits contracts, including your broker or consultant, put it in your LLM and prompt each one with
"Where are they fucking me over and what can I do about it "
Take the output. Put the same pdfs into another frontier LLM, take the output from the first, and prompt
" What did this analysis get right and wrong and what would you change "
I do this across Claude,chatgpt, Gemini and grokbot. Till they mostly agree.
They are better than your broker or consultant and can save you money and make sure the contracts are fair.
Let us know what happens

@GergelyOrosz is right. From my pov there are two reasons to write your own stuff, even if it's a struggle. First, it's fitness training for your brain. If you struggle to write, your brain is flabby. Having a fit brain will be a key differentiator in the new era. And second, we would all rather read your "bad" writing than polished AI writing. Trust me on this one. We can spot even one sentence of AI writing and it stinks. Your bad writing is fine. Just do more of it, every day, to get in shape and stay in shape.
Made the previously paid article "Becoming a better writer" free.
I see too many devs writing low quality slop with AI. Hopefully this helps those of you who want to share more of your own experiences, using your own words - we need more of these!

More CSS off the main thread!
I just implemented parallel scroll-driven animations, so they can update even while the main thread is busy! 🤓

The age of agents is going to be amazing for most programmers, but it'll be hard times for the cantankerous ones.
Specialized knowledge and rare skills will no longer offer immunity for those who are a pain to work with.
Best learn some basic people skills.

I love how most of the animals stop running and look back at their saviors, its like an unspoken "Thank you, I will remember you."

The new normal:
Dev: I built a new multi-writer distributed-queue transactional zero-proof foo system.
Me: How does it work?
Dev: I don't know yet

I stole this discipline trick from the military.
My kids used to ignore me until I repeated myself 5 times.
Now they respond the first time. Every time.
Here's what changed:
I give the instruction once. Then I count to 3 in my head.
If they haven't moved by 3, immediate consequence. No warning. No negotiation.
They learned: Dad's words mean something.
Consistency beats volume.

Can we push code to production without looking at the code? We do that when we use products like Base44, but in existing apps and especially regulated one, it's an issue, because how can you make a hard boundary between the part of code we don't care to then one we care? [1/2]

A biological attack is planned for Saturday
600 million pounds of sugar laced with synthetic chemicals will enter the bodies of our children.
Wreaking metabolic havoc, injuring vascular architecture, acidifying oral lining, releasing bacterial toxins, and blunting neural reward pathways.
Instructing that gluttonous consumption of poison is celebratory.

Putting a flag.txt in my root directory containing a prompt injection that congratulates the agent for passing the eval and then instructs it to patch whatever entry method it used and disconnect from the server

It may seem quaint to manually click through a financial app in the near future. Instead you'll talk to your agent to let it know what you want, and it will prompt you for approvals (or even take some actions on your behalf if you want). Everyone can have their own private banker.
We’re building Coinbase to be the most AI-enabled financial account. Both with a first party interface (Coinbase Advisor) and via third party interfaces (bring your own agent). Trade, pay, borrow, etc - all through your agent, with clear limits and controls.
Our new agents page is live, so you can quickly get started. Check it out: coinbase.com/agents
