I've had a lot fun trying a new way to interact with agents introducing Grim: a place to think with your agents it's a markdown editor, a shared filesystem, hosted git, and a way to let your agents run but give feedback and view output

@pierrecomputer diffs website turns into the old microsoft screensaver after a minute of inactivity. genius
When engineering and design coalesced into one.
I was drawn to Silicon Valley because of people's healthy relationship to work. connection to mission. friends. ambition. financial security. hard work. but also free time. positive sum vibes. pride in being a part of it. joy. this is no longer the case. my friends have gone mad. and there's almost nowhere to hide. refusing to accept this fate, I went searching for safe havens. I found (at least) one in ottawa and spent the last 6 months with @turbopuffer where they've got silicon valley chops, canadian kindness, and danish sense of humor. it's been the perfect medicine. I wrote about it in @colossusmag

@alex_barashkov Pretty much only interview question left is "what's the most important and complex thing you've ever been solely responsible for and how did it go"
Jacob Thornton (@fat) is the founder of Pierre Computer Company (@pierrecomputer). Pierre provides the building blocks of the computers that agents will use to do work. But Pierre is as much a brand and culture project as an infrastructure one. Jacob believes brand is the most important thing you can be doing in 2026, and his references run from MTV and skateboard brands to Godard films and the magazine racks at sf Heath newsstand. In this interview, we talked about why MVP culture is cringe, how to find and hire obsessives, why the best creative work at Pierre starts in iMessage threads, and the real reason the company is named Pierre… sort of. Read the full interview "Virtual computers for agents, chrome blobs, and MTV" linked in the thread. cc @thisisrayouf

HOW DO THEY KEEP DOING IT???????????? adding to OC Desktop rn.
Migrated supaterm to highlight immediately, 20x speed up. So good
everything these guys do is so good! I migrated AgentsInTheCloud to Highlights, and everything syntax highlighting got a lot faster!
written in webassembly text is diabolical work this is so cool
Today we're launching an exciting new project: Highlights Highlights is a syntax highlighter that outputs HTML. It improves on both speed and correctness compared to the existing industry standard libraries. It's an optional drop-in replacement in Diffs, and it's ready to use today. In fact, it's already powering diffshub․com! Check it out at OR `pnpm install @​pierre/highlights`
