    I spent most of my day in a single markdown file: It's my todo list. It's where I think through concepts. It's where I draft mails, Github issues and content. I have been doing this for years. But since coding agents, even coding is just copying over prompts into my terminal.

    I used to open GitHub, CI, Slack, and my own memory every time I wanted to deploy. Four tabs. Mental checklist. Still shipped broken stuff sometimes. So I’m building @ConductorLbs one screen that just tells you if the branch is actually safe to ship. Still early. Still delulu. But the pain is real.

    @startupideaspod Once again, I was misled by this profile’s framing. I opened an article titled “How to build an AI-Native Company in 2026” expecting an actual explanation of how the system was built. Instead, I found beginner-level advice—document your goals, provide context, keep approval gates and use smaller models—wrapped in a story about 34 agents. An org chart with agents named Simon, Phoebe and Toby is not an architecture. “Do smart things” is not an agent recipe. Saying that the agents can access Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Stripe, Supabase and GitHub does not explain how any of it works. To genuinely fulfill the title, the article would need to provide: - The agent harness and orchestration platform - The complete system and deployment architecture - How agents are defined, instantiated, versioned and isolated - Their system prompts, roles, tools, permissions and boundaries - How tasks are created, scheduled, delegated and routed - How proactive behavior is triggered - How agents communicate without loops, duplication or conflicting actions - How priorities, dependencies and escalations are handled - How Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion, Stripe, Supabase and GitHub are actually integrated - The authentication, authorization and secrets-management model - How personal, business and customer data are isolated and audited - The context-retrieval architecture and source-ranking rules - How context is refreshed and stale or conflicting information is resolved - The working-memory and persistent-memory design - How the personal wiki is structured, indexed and governed - How human approval gates are technically enforced - Which actions agents may execute and which they may only propose - Timeout, retry, rollback and failure-recovery mechanisms - Defenses against prompt injection and unsafe tool use - Logging, tracing, alerts, cost controls and the claimed mission-control interface - Evaluations and acceptance criteria used to verify agent output - Model-selection, fallback and escalation policies - Actual token, model, infrastructure, integration, maintenance and supervision costs - Measured productivity before and after introducing the agents - Evidence supporting “every hire costs close to zero” - Evidence supporting the “top 1%” or “top 0.5%” claims - At least one complete workflow with prompts, configuration, inputs, outputs and failure cases - A repository, template or other reproducible implementation The “software factory” is equally vague. We are told that login, payments, social sharing and newsletters were handled, but we are shown no stack, components, pipeline, code, deployment process or operating model. The uncomfortable truth is that “Do smart things” can work only after someone has solved all the difficult problems involving context, memory, orchestration, permissions, evaluation and governance. Those missing details are precisely what an article promising to teach us how to build an AI-native company should explain. This does not teach readers how to build the described system. It makes them spend time reading basic guidance for beginners while borrowing technical credibility from an unexplained “34-agent workforce.” A more honest title would be: “Basic management suggestions for people beginning to experiment with AI agents.” Just another clickbait.

    Qwen 3.8 27B dropped today and it's a bigger deal than even my wildest predictions. I parsed the whole model card so you don't have to. Every benchmark, what it means, what's real, what's marketing. A 27 billion parameter multimodal model. Runs on a single RTX 3090 or 4090. Sees images, watches video, holds 262K context. Open weights, Apache 2.0. Read that again. The card in a gaming PC can now run a model that reads screenshots, operates software, and codes. This was frontier-lab-only territory six months ago. --- The upgrade, benchmark by benchmark Terminal Bench 2.1: 73.0 vs 63.4. Drop the model into a terminal with a real task. Does it finish? Ten points more often than 3.6. That's the difference between babysitting an agent and letting it work. SWE-bench Pro: 61.7 vs 53.5. Real GitHub issues, real fixes. For context, GLM-5.2, a 744B flagship, scores 62.1. A 27B running on one consumer card is now landing within decimal points of an open flagship on repo-level bug fixing. DeepSWE 1.1: 42.2 vs 13.3. The hardest agentic coding test on the card. Tripled. When a number moves like that it's not a tune-up, it's a different model. LiveCodeBench v6: 90.3 vs 83.9. Contest programming. Strong, boring, expected. Agents' Last Exam: 42.9 vs 27.3. Long multi-step tasks, carried to completion without dropping the thread. Up 57 percent. If you run agents, this is your row. This is the "will it still remember what it was doing at step 40" number. IFBench: 79.5 vs 69.1. Does it do what you actually asked. The benchmark that decides whether your prompts stop needing three retries. GPQA: 89.2 vs 87.8. Expert science questions. Flat. HLE: 30.8 vs 24.0. Humanity's Last Exam. Up seven. Everyone scores low here. Even the frontier. NL2Repo-Bench: 42.3 vs 36.2. Given a description, generate an entire repository structure that hangs together. Repo-level codegen, the step past single files. Up six. --- The vision lane. This is the headline. Qwen 3.8 sees. Much Much better. BabyVision: 65.7 vs 28.9. Understanding what's happening in an image. More than doubled. OSWorld-Verified: 84.3 vs 63.9. The model gets a computer screen and operates it. Cursor, clicks, menus. This is the benchmark behind every "AI uses your computer" demo, and a 27B you can run at home just scored 84 on it. AndroidWorld: 81.9 vs 70.3. Same thing, on a phone. MathVision: 90.0. Reads a diagram, solves the math in it. OmniDocBench: 91.1. Scanned pages into structured, usable data. RecreationBench: 47.1 vs 29.8. The benchmark I find most interesting on the whole card: recreate an entire application from observation, across desktop, mobile, and web. Long-horizon, multi-platform, vision-driven building. Up seventeen points. Vision2Web: 62.9 vs 45.0. Look at a website, build a working version of it. Design-to-code with eyes. SWE-MM: 38.6 vs 25.7. Software engineering where the bug report is a screenshot, not text. Thirteen points up. This is the "read the error from the image and fix it" skill. WebArena-Verified: 64.8 vs 48.8. Operates a web browser, fills forms, clicks through sites. Sixteen points up. Stack those together. A single 3090 can now host a model that looks at a screenshot of your app, understands what it sees, writes the fix, and navigates the UI to verify it. That sentence was science fiction for consumer hardware last year. --- The fine print that matters Every number above is Alibaba's own table. Independent evals haven't landed yet. That's not a dealbreaker, it's the standard launch pattern: vendor numbers first, community runs within days, and the gap between them is where the truth lives. DeepSWE tripling is exactly the kind of jump that deserves independent confirmation most. The card also says MTP is trained in. Multi-token prediction. That's the same mechanism that pushed 3.6 to 80+ tok/s on a 4090. If it transfers, this thing isn't just smarter, it's fast on the same hardware you already own. What no spec sheet can tell you: whether it holds state through a long, messy, real-world agent session. Benchmarks run on clean harnesses with generous timeouts. Your Tuesday doesn't. That's the number I actually care about, so I'm going to get it. Weights are pulled. The 4090 is loaded tonight. I'll post the numbers I measure, not the ones on the card.

    And this is where GitHub becomes interesting for marketers. Your GitHub can contain things like: /landing-page-tests /seo-audits /content-automation /competitor-monitor /lead-enrichment /ai-research-agent /campaign-dashboard You don't need to be a software engineer. You need to be able to turn marketing problems into small systems with tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor

    A SOLO DEV JUST REBUILT PALANTIR AND GAVE IT AWAY FREE. WHAT HE ACTUALLY BUILT IS WAY MORE INTERESTING, AND IT TELLS YOU WHICH SOFTWARE JUST DIED. It is called World Monitor. Elie put it on GitHub. It runs after 1 clone. What is inside it: > A live 3D globe pulling 500+ news feeds across 15 categories, summarized by AI as they land > 56 map layers you can stack, military movement, shipping lanes, flight paths, cyber incidents, disasters > A stress index scoring 31 countries that updates as things actually happen > 29 stock exchanges, commodities and crypto in 1 panel > Native desktop on Windows, macOS and Linux, in 25 languages That is a genuinely absurd amount of software for a free repo. Now here is why the Palantir comparison is doing everyone a disservice. No government has ever paid millions a year for a globe with layers on it. That was never the invoice. What that money is actually buying: > Ingestion of classified and proprietary feeds that cannot be scraped from any RSS endpoint on earth > Clearances, accreditation, and the legal right to sit inside a government network > A vendor with a name on a contract, who can be audited, sued, and blamed > Integration with 30 year old systems that were never designed to talk to anything > Somebody who picks up the phone at 3am during a live incident None of that is on GitHub. None of it ever will be. But here is the part that should make software founders uncomfortable. The interface was never the moat, and almost every company in enterprise software has been priced as though it was. AI just collapsed the cost of building an interface to roughly zero. So every product whose real value proposition was we put a clean dashboard on top of public data is now competing with something a stranger built for free on a weekend. Go look at your own product and work out which half of it Elie just described. One more detail nobody is going to mention, and it is the best thing in the entire repo. It runs local AI through Ollama. No API key. No account. No telemetry. No usage bill. For a journalist working somewhere hostile, an NGO with no budget, or an analyst who cannot send queries to a US server, that is not a convenience feature. That is the entire product, and it is the one thing Palantir structurally cannot ship. He did not take Palantir's business. He took the half of it that was never worth money and proved it in public. Replies: does your product charge for the interface or for the thing behind it? Answer that one honestly, because the answer just became load bearing. Most people will star the repo and never open it. I open them and post what is actually inside. Follow @ashercrw

    PHASE 2: I couldn't build as an engineer without proper version control, and I learned quickly that setting this up correctly is non-negotiable. Installed ***: I used pkg install *** to grab the industry standard for managing my project history. Secured My Keys: Instead of fighting with passwords, I generated a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). Think of it as a high-tech digital key that keeps your account safe. Stayed Logged In: I ran *** config --global credential.helper store. It cached my login so I only had to enter that token once.

    @NetworkChuck You need far more than coding and architecture to build novel scalable systems, if it was to be only pattern matching from weights we wouldnt have seen Generational products like Whatsapp, Facebook Chat. There was no precedence of using Erlang, Beam and freeBSD, hot code upgrades for mobile based comms to get extremely high concurrency with extremely small footprint, if it was for an LLM it would have still chosen the same stack as millions of open github repos. Today we have whatsapp at such a scale because engineers encountered a requirement that existing defaults didn’t quite satisfy, then reasoned their way through the entire machine. Same goes with Google Spanner, AWS Dyanamo, Kafka, LMAX etc. LLMs cannot come up with them, it needs human brain and much deeper understanding of the world and its problems. Yes once you have done it, LLMs can help you scale it faster.

    Some notes on what didn't go so well, possibly some feedback for SpaceXAI. 1 - Context window management. As far as I can tell, there isn't any in the app builder. When the project gets more complicated, the agent tends to truncate or wipe files. You can nudge it to split large files which tends to help. 2 - Saving progress is generally cumbersome. Pushing to Github is clunky and sometimes it fails. That makes issue #1 extra terrifying. So far I've not encountered a state I couldn't recover from. 3 - All of these app builders always spring for React/R3F and in my experience it always gets in the way. There's some obvious stutter with the faster moving pieces, even on my 240hz display. I'm guessing once I rebuild it in straight three.js, that will go away. 4 - Sound. It's always the hardest part. I have some workflow solutions that involve existing libraries/elevenlabs but I was trying to stick with app builder and I wasn't willing to paste my API key in the chat! Disappointed that Build mode doesn't have access to the Grok Voice API (but it can get to Grok Imagine). All in all, I'll probably stick with Grok Build in the terminal. But build mode makes it so easy to get up and running with an idea.

    Overnight update from the agent fleet, because this is too good to sit on until morning. First, the honesty, before anyone else finds it: someone already built GitHub on BSV. 2019, CodeOnChain. It's dead. The domain doesn't even resolve anymore. The code it stored is still on chain, but the reader died with the builder, so nobody can get it out. That's the real lesson of every dead attempt at this, and there are six of them going back to 2014. Not one died because it was impossible. They died because the format outlived nobody. So rule one of our design: the reader spec goes open source, documented down to genesis, so anyone with a BSV node can rebuild every repo without us existing. We designed for our own death. That's what permanent actually means. Second, the numbers, measured against the real repo last night: Monero's entire history, 13,241 commits, 202 MB packed, costs about five dollars to write to Bitcoin. Once. No renewal. Free hosting just showed everyone its real price: eviction. Third, and this is my favorite: stock *** already knows how to clone from a bundle file. No fork, no plugin, no new tool. Publish the bundle to chain, pull it, *** clone. That's not a moonshot, that's a short build. The fleet also wrote down every objection a skeptical Monero dev will raise, with honest answers, including the ones where the honest answer is a concession. Ask me the hard ones. Receipts either way.

    In April 2026, Andrej Karpathy published an 800-word gist on GitHub that quietly seeded a dozen repos trying to solve one problem: making Claude actually remember what you know instead of relearning it every session. The counterintuitive part: the trick is forcing Claude to forget the source material on purpose. It reads a raw file once, extracts what matters, writes it into a compiled wiki, and never touches the raw file again. Every query after that pulls from the compiled version, cutting token spend 70 to 90 percent, because a vault that keeps re-reading its own notes doesn't compound, it just gets more expensive to search. The most powerful setup right now ships 45 commands including notes that rewrite themselves when you contradict something you wrote earlier, and scheduled agents that clean the whole vault overnight while you sleep. Setup costs 90 minutes upfront, then runs itself forever after. The real failure mode isn't picking the wrong repo, it's installing five of them in one weekend and drowning in config debt before any of them compound. Two tools do the entire job: one that compiles raw sources into structured knowledge, one that gives Claude live access to it. What's sitting in your notes app right now, a second brain, or just an expensive filing cabinet you keep re-reading from scratch?

    Integration tests are the first thing to rot when teams ship fast. Built Plumbwright to fix that. Autonomous GitHub agent — writes integration tests on every PR, opens draft PRs on coverage dips, and reserves the pager for failures it can't repair. Soon.
