Working with LLMs initially felt like parenting a child. Then like managing a team: explaining, double-checking everything, rolling my eyes. Now it feels like college again: learning a ton, reading long texts I barely understand, asking endless questions, feeling stupid...
Rust is awesome, but the build directories get huge fast. If you're working on multiple projects, the disk space really starts to add up. What are people doing to manage this?

What I didn't expect in 2026 is Meta building a personal agent in muse.ai that feels more secure than running your own open claw on a mac mini
One of the things that makes Muse.ai so much better out of the box is how fast it responds. I would love to see how it works internally too. Wonder if it's quick inference in the model or fast classifiers that help the model answer better quickly.

One of the most impactful things I've been able to build for my home with coding agents, is a dashboard that helps me track my live power usage and connect it to appliance usage. Built with codex.
PG&E provides a way to stream the real-time data of your power consumption/generation. I bought an Eagle 3 from rainforestautomation.com/us-… to allow me to access that data in Home Assistant. And then I have some power monitors on some of the appliances I think consume too much power

I feel like Astra is really good. So good that I start to feel like I don't have any defense against a bad actor using something similar to Astra. Everything in the home lab is getting locked down.

inspired by lawsofux the site is: agent-experience.dev
i'll be open-sourcing shortly!
Used claude code to audit my home network today. It literally browsed my UniFi controller in Chrome, read the zone matrix, and helped me isolate IoT devices from my trusted network. The whole "AI looking at my screen and giving advice" thing is getting pretty useful.

Claude Code planning: "This feature will take 3 days."
Claude Code in practice: one-shots it in 10 minutes.
Me, feeling taunted: that would’ve taken me a week.

I built a new Python CLI tool called claude-code-transcripts that can create nice readable HTML versions of your Claude Code sessions, both local and pulled from Claude Code for web, and makes it easy to publish them online too simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/2…
Just listened to an Apple News podcast narrated by Mark Boyett. A replay of real events about a Hollywood producer, it sound like the beginning of an audiobook caught myself looking for the sci fi angle.

IMO The biggest breakthrough W.R.T coding agents is not the model quality, but the ability to run concurrent agents.
The cost of context switching between issues versus being able to spin up multiple agents with a simple prompt and then massage the results into shape is unmatched.
This probably leans into the “senior bias” people have noticed with AI-assisted coding. I already know how to fix these issues, but I can do it faster by kicking off an agent than by context switching myself. I know the architecture, I know how the code should look, and I’ve built up the context to apply good judgment during code reviews.
Now I have a tool that lets me do all of that much faster.
