My agent is making me a custom Voice Assistant app for my Pixel Watch so I can send recordings directly to my agents. The /pr skill is SO NICE for capturing visual changes without needing to QA it. I love AI

My new course is filmed, but we're not done shipping Added this "Session" panel, which has the full transcript of the session I'm walking through It auto-scrolls with the video, and lets you pop out to second-screen it Makes it feel like we're coding together

Just shipped an important skill fix for Codex users. Codex was biasing most of its subagents to inherit its context window from the parent agent. I.e. forking it. This has a big negative impact on a lot of my skills, that rely on a clean context window (for code review, implement-spec etc) So, a fix:

There is an absolutely WILD story in this @GergelyOrosz podcast episode 1. An unnamed CTO of a cash-flow-negative company was debating doing layoffs. AI 2. He says "I don't want to hurt morale like that, I won't do it" 3. A few months later, he says to @GergelyOrosz that he's cash flow positive. WTF. How? 4. The company had been licensing a component from a licensing company that was critical for their business. 5. One day, a dev thinks "what if we got an agent to build our own?" 6. The agent does so well that they produce a BETTER, FASTER version of the component they were licensing. 7. They debate open-sourcing it, and they ask the licensing company about it 8. The licensing company panics, and says "we will pay you NOT to open-source this" 9. They also say "we'll also pay you extra so we can re-license it" 10. So a big outlay became a recurring windfall, thanks to the ingenuity of a dev asking the right question. Individual contributors have never been more powerful. Think bigger.

We used to talk about a "pit of success". Humans would be dragged towards writing the right code by well-designed API's, a good test suite, sensible lint rules. You couldn't make the pit too steep, otherwise the humans would get annoyed. There was a social contract. Feels like what we need now is a black hole of success. An inescapable event horizon agents cannot cross. Agents don't feel annoyed, so you can crank up the pressure to infinity. There is no social contract to break. In other words, increase the forces on agents to the maximum. Make great code inevitable.

I feel like I need a word for the type of task that agents are really good at I.e. where it has 100% of the data, it can run experiments, verify independently, and hill-climb towards its destination On these tasks my trust level is totally maxed-out and the results are incredible Just need a word for them
