Amp co-founder @beyang says people who think coding agents will replace humans are living in a "dismal fantasy land": "There's a lot of hype around coding agents replacing humans entirely, or agents in general replacing jobs. The capabilities of agents are evolving at a fast pace, but fundamentally they still do what you ask them to do." "What is very apparent to us in using agents day to day is that human intervention, that human guidance is still essential. If anything, it's more essential. Because if you have the wrong guidance in place, the cost of going off the rails, you can very quickly rack up a ton of token cost." "The whole, this is gonna make humans obsolete thing is just way over-hyped, to the point where some folks are living in a dismal fantasy land." @AmpCode

yesterday I shipped a new device emulation mode to amp portals, supporting emulating preferences like reduced animation, system theme, high contrast, and different viewport sizes it was a totally idle idea i orbed up while working on my main tasks, iterated and validated without having to juggle anything on my local machine. so many ideas like this are now more shippable than ever, with less friction than ever

If the code matters less, what about the code host? What about that warm fuzzy connected feeling we all got from GitHub until a couple years ago? We can bring it back. Step 1: Amp can now host your Git repositories

The world needs a way off GitHub Actions. For the past three weeks, we’ve been building an open-source compatibility layer that runs Actions workflows natively on @buildkite without changing them. Buildkite powers CI for repos where scale is table stakes. Pipelines are dynamically programmable and parallel by default, with every job running in its own environment. Test suites that take hours - or days - on other tools can fan out and finish in minutes. Actions uses a different model: static workflows, with sequential steps sharing a mutable workspace. We now transparently compile that model into our Buildkite pipelines, so teams can keep their existing workflows and actions while gaining Buildkite’s speed at scale, control and reliability. It’s early and there are rough edges, but it's already proving useful across our design partners. If you want to start shifting workloads, give it a go:
