We just raised a $280M Series B at a $2B valuation to build the future of voice and change how you interact with technology.
I'm building a realtime todo voice chat app for my watch.
I set Fable on the task and left the room.
A few minutes later, I start hearing voices from my room...
I walk in and my laptop and watch are a having realtime voice chat with each other about me and my goals... 👀

I'm making educational art.
yesterday I was wondering why Rust dev is ridiculously slow for large projects. So I started working on a new project: Cinder.
it's a drop-in Cargo replacement. On no-change builds, cinder check is already 10.7x faster on Cap, 16x on Zed, 34.8x on Handy, and 1.7x on Bun!

Nodding along, relaxing in bed watching this at 1x speed and @threepointone says, "Am I painting the brush strokes or using a remote and watching someone paint on TV?"
Now I'm wondering if I should ditch my laptop and work solely from my couch with my TV across the room.

I'm rebooting life after a nightmare of a personal month.
Building a time-boxed routine to:
1. Prioritize sleep
2. Food prep
3. Produce a @megadevhq workshop that will far exceed your expectations
I do miss the old way we collaborated on open source, before close to 100% of pull requests were generated by AI.
There is no way back to the old days, but there is an opportunity to find new ways of collaboration. We all want to retain the human touch of collaboration.

I'd consider re-subscribing, but I wasn't getting any value
My dad passed peacefully at 1am this morning. My mom and I were by his side.
Request: My dad *loved* puns (he was an English professor). I'm gathering a massive collection of puns for his eulogy.
Reply with your favorite pun I can inflict on funeral attendees in his honor.

Bryce Canyon at night.
Then look up.
The best part about not reading the code is that I don't have to pretend to understand what `yield*` means anymore
Cursor is rebranding to CodeX
Sources: Cursor told staff Thursday that SpaceX could complete its $60B acquisition as soon as next week and the Cursor brand name will likely be phased out (@graceihle / The Information)

Attributing Opus 5's poor performance to "user error" just sounds silly.
I've never heard this kind of language from OpenAI.
@mattshumer_ yeah agree
I think you want to give it context and goals and let it find its way instead or if you do want to be specific, collaborate via artifacts to make sure your plan is very detailed and then have it implement

Y’all, every year I cast my Hail Mary net with a level of audacity that is unnatural to me. I do it for @GitHub Universe. I message my heroes and ask if they’d come have a conversation with me for the podcast.
Sometimes the DMs go unseen. Sometimes I get to meet someone IRL who was absolutely worth the wait.
I’m so grateful for the people who reply. I don’t have a massive following, but what I do, I do with heart and love for anyone who takes the time to listen.

i'm so stoked for this project

Never trust an article with the words "Opus 5 excels"
No model dominates every kind of task.
Grok 4.5 offers strong value on routine tasks. GPT-5.6 Sol is effective on planning and codebase comprehension.
Opus 5 excels for execution-heavy work, and Fable 5 on debugging and visual implementation.

I've switched to building PWAs I can install as "apps"/agents on my phone for everything.
They "tailscale" in to my local machine and still have full codex access with bespoke UIs for the task/category they represent.
Funny how it's almost turning into a custom OS...
