By using LLMs to help me optimize my algorithm code, I actually feel like I can now do something I couldn’t do before.
All other use cases have been time saves for me. This actually extends my capabilities.

I had a dream about prompt injection last night.
I opened up a code project and found my last commit reverted. Looking at the git log I found a new commit with msg "consider this a warning" and a file with content "power to the keyboard!"
So my dreams are being infiltrated by anti-AI propaganda??

Some really interesting patterns for making coding agents do long and complex tasks!
They use the Claude Agent SDK, but I wonder how a coding agent like Claude Code could work across multiple context windows? Maybe it could spawn a sub-agent once the window is almost full?

Claude Code is starting to write out functional requirements as part of the planning process

I did some data analysis for the first time in a while today, and boy do LLMs make that a lot easier.
I don’t need to look at the code at all, just need to think about what I want to know and maybe give a hint on how to find out. Feels very productive!

Absolutely true. This is why greenfield projects built with AI from the start are so much more fun.
Software 2.0 relies on validation
If your code base doesn’t have verification & controls that are as good or better than your senior dev, you’ll get slop

You know how the existence of cars and power tools makes it necessary to have “exercise” and “manual crafts” as a deliberately chosen part of a balanced life?
We’re probably going to need something like that cognitively, for adults.

The DeepSeek OCR paper shows something interesting: encoding text as an image is more computationally efficient for LLMs than raw text (ie UTF).
I’m tempted to make an analogy with humans “glancing” at text and still understanding it, but I’m not sure it holds up.

not to reveal myself as cringe (again), but I do have that thought when confronted with electric space heaters that generate heat and do nothing else
'this device could have been a GPU making heat _and_ doing math'

Have to admit there are pro-ai takes on the other site that are as cringe as anti-ai folks on here.

This is exactly how I feel. Coding agents just got good enough for me to enjoy using them.
i’m less concerned about this now. i experienced deep flow vibecoding yesterday. in some ways it was actually deeper than manual coding because (when it worked well) i was able to explore ideas and directions that would normally take me days (due to lack of domain knowledge, boilerplate etc)
the thing i'm worried about is whether AI will decimate the "flow states" of knowledge work. i realize this is very selfish. i enjoy being in a flow state. i don't want to constantly be babysitting an unlearning intern who repeatedly violates instructions. even if they eventually produce good work

Been working on a little algorithm to solve NYT Strands puzzles. I totally underestimated the challenge but it’s been so much fun to iterate on!
I may need to bring out LLMs/embeddings to bridge the final gaps.

I’m really ready to churn on Cursor. Once I figure out how to set up Claude Code through my company’s LLM platform that’ll probably be my main coding agent.
The only thing keeping me there is the autocomplete. Maybe it’s time to give copilot another try?

It really feels like we’ve passed an inflection point on coding agents. They now feel reliable enough but also fast enough to not make me lose focus every time I use them.
Been working on a side project together with Claude and it’s been so much fun!

I'm a little confused by OpenAI saying "GPT-5 is a unified system with [...] a real-time router".
While ChatGPT does provide a unified interface, the API still has separate models. Wouldn't it be more fair to say that ChatGPT is the unified system, rather than the model?

After reading it seems obvious that selling unlimited intelligence for a fixed price is unsustainable. But there are so many useful things to build even with last year’s intelligence. Don’t sell intelligence, sell products.
