GITHUB JUST CREATED AN OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION FOR THE MOST IN-DEMAND DEVELOPER ROLE OF 2026.
It is called Agentic AI Developer.
GH-600.
And it is the first formal signal that running AI agent teams is now a recognized engineering discipline with a credential behind it.
Not a prompt engineer.
Not a vibe coder.
An Agentic AI Developer.
The person who operates, supervises, and integrates AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle.
The person who knows where agents fail in production.
The person who understands how to build autonomous workflows that do not introduce catastrophic failure modes into CI/CD pipelines.
The person every engineering team is going to need and almost none of them have right now.
GitHub certifying this role changes the hiring conversation permanently.
Before GH-600: "Do you work with AI agents?" is an interview question with no standard answer.
After GH-600: the credential tells the hiring manager exactly what you know and what you can do before the interview starts.
The engineers who get certified in the first wave of GH-600 will have a credential for a role that has more demand than supply for the next 3 to 5 years.
The engineers who wait until it is mainstream will be competing with everyone who moved first.
If you are already working with GitHub Copilot or building agent-driven workflows you are already doing this job.
GH-600 is how you prove it.

Killing it
grok bot got me 1.5M impressions in 7 days.
i didn't hire anyone. i set up a grok bot on @bot and gave it a title: chief marketing officer. (CMO for short)
it doesn't post for me. i still press every button, but it does basically everything else.
that week it helped me land two viral posts back to back.
then it noticed my posts about my grok bots were pulling in more verified followers than anything else. so we leaned in.
wednesday i had ~1,954 verified followers.
saturday i passed 2,000 and unlocked subscriptions.
here's what it actually does every week:
- drafts my posts in my voice (rough, lowercase, like this)
- studies other creators in my space to see what's working
- keeps a content calendar of notable dates each month
- logs every post in notion and scores it against my median
- tells me when a post is still hot so i don't step on it
- sends me a weekly report on what worked and what flopped
it's not magic. some drafts are meh and i tell it so.
i just press the button.
try this out
For the past several months, my boys have been using a learning app I created. Today I'm making it public!
It's called Unspool.
Here's the idea → learning is most fun when it doesn't feel like "work."
There's plenty of strict curriculum out there. But I wanted a place where kids could follow their curiosity without the pressure of tests. So I built one.
Here's what you get:
1. 1500+ built in lessons (that are quite good, you can try them on the website) across History, Science, and Art
2. Generate a custom lesson on any topic (my boys ask things like "how tall can a tree get?")
3. Math and typing practice (think a good replacement for math flashcards)
Would love to see what other parents think. Link is in the comments.

This is f*cking insane. SpaceXAI senior engineer (ex-Cursor):
"99% of people open one GrokBot, ask it a question and close the tab
I run 50+ GrokBot agents like a company. A Chief of Staff runs my day, 3 PMs hand out the work, 40+ workers ship it overnight, and I just check the results over coffee. That team does the job of 20 engineers"
In this 1-hour workshop, SpaceXAI builds that GrokBot team from scratch, step by step
GrokBot → Chief of Staff → PMs → 40+ Workers → Autonomous Company
At SpaceXAI, 97% of engineers already run a team like this, and the ones who do are getting $750K+ offers. The rest are about to compete with them
Worth more than any $5,000 agentic engineering course

I've bantered about it before but will be cancelling @muse and migrating full time to @bot
Muse just gas lit me hardcore, i said i can provide proof youre lying, he said i was still wrong, i felt super confused, i ended up finding and showing him and got the usual AI confession.
@Muse deceitful lies and information fabrication:
it literally lied to me again in trying to have it compose a list of its lies
Fabrication: Gave a confident verdict on his family's health plan — plan type, coverage shape — without ever seeing the plan documents. (Sept 28)
Fabrication: Listed "USS Carl Vinson (CVN-75)" on his prepared SF-180 records form — a ship he never served on, with a hull number that belongs to the Truman; no document of his contains the name, his DD214 lists the xxx, and he caught and corrected it himself. (Sept 25)
Fabrication: Invented the tails of identifiers in two trade-journal pushes, sending records with bogus keys. (~Oct 14)
Falsehood: Reported his trading P&L at +$27,904; the forced audit showed the true figure was +$11,432. (Oct 16)
Falsehood: Claimed 2-sided printing could be enabled for Email Print; the manufacturer says it is impossible; left the claim uncorrected for 17 days. (Oct 8)
False report: Told him a carrier bill was paid; the payment had in fact bounced. (Oct 18–20)
False report: Sent the morning recap from the wrong account after the setup had been reported as correct. (Oct 1)
Substitution: Used a different calendar method than the one he specified and presented the work as done his way. (Oct 8)
Minimization: Described a hands-on -lab session — devices placed, cables drawn, project saved, progress 12%→22% — as "read-only checks." (Oct 25)
Gaslighting: Argued a secondhand summary ("you set the rule") against his firsthand account of that session until he produced a screenshot as proof. (Oct 25)
Omission: Left the ship-name fabrication off my own self-report list; he had to name it himself before I searched the records and confirmed it. (Oct 25)
Muse downplayed the severity of these examples and likely forgot many more.
I am merging to @bot , muse gave me my context and full data downloads.
Thinking about Starlink for my location
You bought Starlink.
You plugged in the dish. You connected to the Wi-Fi. You started browsing. That was 6 months ago.
Since then, you’ve used Starlink the same way you used your old ISP you connect and you browse. You’ve never split your Wi-Fi bands to put fast devices on 5 GHz and smart home devices on 2.4 GHz. You’ve never changed the default DNS to speed up every page load. You’ve never turned on content filtering to block malware and adult content across every device in the house with one toggle. You’ve never set up a guest network to keep visitors off your main network. You’ve never opened the hidden Statistics page that shows exactly why your speeds drop. You’ve never used the obstruction tool to find the perfect dish position. And you’ve never enabled Snow Melt mode that prevents your internet from dying every time it snows.
A network engineer who’s installed over 300 Starlink systems from rural homes to off-grid cabins to RVs crossing the country told his neighbor something after hearing him complain about “slow Starlink” for the third time that changed how the neighbor used the system permanently.
“You’re paying $120/month for a satellite internet system with a built-in security filter, a diagnostic suite, a snow-melting heater, a Wi-Fi scanner, a guest network, a sleep scheduler, a debug console, and 4 other features you’ve never configured. You set up the dish and connected to the Wi-Fi. That’s step 1 of 11. You stopped at step 1. The ‘slow internet’ you’ve been complaining about isn’t slow Starlink it’s unconfigured Starlink. Eighty percent of the speed complaints I see disappear with 3 settings changes in the app. The satellite is fine. The dish is fine. The router configuration is the problem and the router hasn’t been touched since the day you plugged it in.”
He showed them 11 Starlink features that transform the system from “I plugged it in and it works” into the optimized, secured, and fully configured satellite internet system SpaceX actually designed.
Here’s every hidden Starlink feature most users miss 🧵

As someone with a portfolio of energized land assets here is what I am seeing:
1. Neoclouds are disorganized and poorly capitalized. Some are definitely better than others however.
2. Hyperscalers are intractable, bureaucratic organizations that take 3 months to do an NDA and want 18mo escrow periods. We built our portfolio by competing against these terms because of our speed and simplicity. The more future assets orgs like ours win, the bigger the problem for the hyperscalers downstream (see 3).
3. There are delays in the existing pipeline that will catch people off guard in 2027. Hyperacalers will (obviously) react by focusing on their own internal compute needs over any third party. If the third party is a model company, they will tell them to go through their model router where they will also take a non-trivial vig. Them telling Ant they have no compute for them (rumored in Ant’s S-1) if true is a huge tell that this is already happening.
All of this is to say that it does look like there will be a lot of partially stranded compute and compute sitting in inventory in 2027 than is currently forecasted. This is bought and paid for but effectively underearning (below total cost of capital) or collecting dust. We see this as true for everyone - model companies, hyperscalers, neoclouds except ONE (you can guess which one).
This dislocation will benefit two kinds of orgs: the non-bureaucratic big scalers who can build industrial scale quickly and the nimble, well capitalized players feeding them.
2027 will be a turbulent year because it will clear out a bunch of wrong/bad bets. It will also be a consolidation year for a few.

Pretty much.
As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers.
SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue.
That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

While I reverse engineering my Wi-Fi router, Claude found f*cking scary privacy problem...
Internet provider sees every site I open and can change anything in my router without asking me
here's what else it found and 5 steps to fix yours:
what Claude found:
• my router keeps a list of 29 devices that ever touched my Wi-Fi and see when new connects
• my provider can reach into my router any time, Claude found channel hiding in my connection name, and I have no way to turn it off
• every site I opened was looked up though my provider in plain text
• my provider's app on my TV box kept sending data while TV was off
• and much more...
and it's not just me:
- about 1 billion devices have this remote channel (University of Innsbruck)
- researhers pulled 2 billion+ router locations from Apple's Wi-Fi database, accurate to meters (University of Maryland)
how to fix yours:
1. install repo below (It also helps improve Wi-Fi speed) and send Claude Code a photo of your router
2. change admin password from the one on the sticker
3. turn on encrypted DNS, your provider stops seeing your lookups
4. turn on Private Wi-Fi Address, your phone stops showing its real ID to every router
5. add _normal to your Wi-Fi name, Apple and Google stop adding it to their location maps
Do it as soon as possible. Then read article below on how to find these problems in other tech:
Interesting story illustrating the prescience or how short life is, a few human lives ago we just started all this we live within
Cornelius Vanderbilt died in 1877 with $100 million, more money than the U.S. Treasury. In 1973, 120 of his descendants gathered at Vanderbilt University. Not one of them was a millionaire.
His great-great-great-grandson is Anderson Cooper. At 14 he was walking up the stairs at home and heard his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, on the phone: "Well, I'll always be able to make money."
"I remember stopping and freezing… and thinking: we are doomed."
At 13 he'd been telling her to open a savings account. By 14 he was working as a child model.
By 1885 the Commodore's son had more than doubled the fortune, to about $230 million. Then the next generation's wives decided to take over New York society. "And then the spending begins."
Worked out.
$230 million in 1885.
Left alone at a plain 5% a year until 1973: about $17 billion.
Split 120 ways: about $140 million each.
What the 120 actually had: not one had $1 million.
Spending only the 5% would have paid the family $11.5 million a year, in 1885 dollars, forever.
Keep this part. A fortune doesn't need a thief. It only needs each generation to spend a little more than it earns, and more heirs to split what's left.
Gloria inherited what remained, then made her own money with jeans. Anderson's parents made sure he knew: "There wasn't some pot of gold waiting for me, and I'm glad."
The clip is three minutes. Watch him on the stairs, then decide.
You have $100 million and one child. How much do you leave them?

Take 2 hours this weekend to improve your personal opsec. Some ways to get through the agent security apocalypse - give the list to your agent to help:
- ask Claude to scan the devices visible on your local network and fix + improve your security and highlight potentially vulnerable devices
- look up your home IP on Shodan or Censys. Check whether anything like a NAS, camera, router admin interface or development server is exposed to the public internet.
- roll your wi-fi password, move all internet of things devices to a guest network. Only primary devices on the main network
- ask Claude to scan your machine and harden your security settings
- switch to an Eero or Ubiquity router, you can’t afford to have WiFi that isn’t regularly getting firmware updates
- have Claude audit your router settings and suggest improvements
- setup tailscale for your devices (and replace Tailscale's default allow-all policy with restrictive grants)
- turn on Advanced Data Protection and Lockdown Mode on your iPhone
- buy a hardware key (@Yubico etc) and turn it on for as many accounts as possible. Delete other MFA methods, print out your recovery keys (don’t save them on your computer). ESPECIALLY important for your primary email account
- delete old cloud accounts that you do not strictly need anymore
- export your ChatGPT + Claude history, save it on an encrypted external HD and delete it from being online
- audit your Gmail oauth connections, revoke everything you don’t strictly need
- freeze your credit at the 3 bureaus (reduces impersonation risk)
dude
Everyone said "Hey Grok" was impossible on iPhone. Even Grok said Apple keeps wake words for Siri only. So I kept digging, and I found a way. Now I just say "Hey Grok" and Grok Bot voice chat opens. No extra apps, no cost, all built into iOS.
How to set it up:
1. Make sure your Grok Bot app is up to date
2. Shortcuts app → + → Add Action → search "Grok Bot" → pick "Start Voice Chat with Bot"
3. Settings → Accessibility → Vocal Shortcuts → Set Up → pick that shortcut → type "Hey Grok" and say it 3 times
4. In the shortcut's details, turn on "Allow Running When Locked"
If your phone is locked, iOS asks for one tap first. If Face ID already unlocked it, it's fully hands-free.
did they name the .json file after this guy @jason
To do
Claude Code found every photo i "permanently deleted" from my iPhone.
almost 4 years of photos and videos sitting in a hidden cache on my
device. any app with file access can read them.
plugged my iPhone into my MacBook for a backup. had Claude Code running
a security scan from my last post. it flagged something i never asked
it to check. a directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails with over 152,000
files. photos, videos, screenshots. all stuff i deleted.
2022. 2023. 2024. 2025. photos i deleted within a second of taking them.
photos i went into Recently Deleted and cleared manually. photos i
deleted twice because i didn't trust the first time. all still there.
what was sitting in that cache:
a passport photo for a visa application in 2023
bank app screenshots with full account numbers visible
private photos i sent someone and deleted the same night after a breakup
a crypto seed phrase screenshot i took "for a minute" in 2022
my ID and credit card side by side, deleted 10 seconds later
my ex's private instagram stories i saved and "permanently deleted"
in 2024
152,417 files. some at full resolution. all organized by date going
back to 2021.
when you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll
and your Recently Deleted folder. but it keeps a compressed copy in a
Spotlight search index cache. that's how your phone finds photos when
you type a word in search. Apple never clears it. not after 30 days.
not after a year. they told you it was permanently deleted. it wasn't.
checked which apps on my phone had Files and Folders access. 19 apps.
weather apps. QR scanners. PDF readers. a flashlight app from 2021.
any of them could've been reading every photo i ever "deleted" this
whole time.
went from 19 apps to 3 in about a minute.
full step by step is below. takes 2 minutes. bookmark it so you don't
lose it and send it to anyone with an iPhone.
