Average Agentic realization: "Hey, Chat I just had this really good idea. Has anyone done anything like this?" Chat: "Yes! actually @poteto has a skill for it right here..."

State Machines + coding agents are kind of OP. Building a big complex UI with Zustand, Vitest, and a dumb simple stateless component feels so magical when it all comes together.
Things you can use Al for when working on UI: - ask it to try and break the stuff you built - let it create state machines to check different scenarios (success, error, different user roles, etc.) - when finished, ask it to make before/after screenshots - make it ask you lots of questions about the thing you are working on to validate the idea - let it create a few variants of a Ul piece so you can try it out - setup loops to maintain a quality bar by constantly monitoring

Stuff like this is going to be what makes apps stand out as the whole world becomes builders
Don’t be LAZY. Install and test your APP on a real device. Too many weird keyboard interactions that you can miss with just an iPhone simulator. Plus, fat fingers don’t click as precisely as a mouse. So you find usability issues with most SwiftUI buttons that lack a .contentShape(.rectangle)

Getting ready for tomorrow’s OpenAI DevDay! 🚀 Met some awesome new people today who, just like me, love to build, experiment with AI, and have fun doing it. Great conversations, exchanging ideas, and hanging out at Fort Mason right now. San Francisco has been amazing so far and more new connections tonight! @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs Can’t wait for tomorrow. 🔥 @BoldingBuilds @_onmax @ThatGuySam

Holy crap. Rick and Morty just explained Jev AI to me better than any tech demo could.

Happy model release day! PSA: Be sure to upgrade your local skills and agent instructions for the official best practices for The new GPT-6 and Opus 5.5 models so that you’re not paying frontier model prices for 2023 level intelligence.
Please welcome GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to the GPT-6 universe. GPT-6 Sol and Luna build on the advances behind GPT-6 Astra, bringing much of its strengths into faster and more affordable models to support work at scale. We’ve also made caching and inference more efficient, and we’re passing the savings directly to you: 50% lower API prices for Sol and Luna compared with GPT‑5.6 promotional pricing.
