Two of my favorite technologies: @OpenApiSpec && @typescript

Focusing on sandboxing is fundamentally the wrong idea. A perfect sandbox is useless because whatever you put in the sandbox doesn't have access to any data.
So instead of opaque, hard boxes people use transparent, soft ones, and the problem then becomes the composition of transparent boxes and the management of permeability. Except that there is no legitimate theory behind this operation and the mechanisms are always abstruse and ad-hoc and misunderstood by users.
The only real solution is to think about data access and provenance, and use pure computational processes, not boxes.

This model will also suggest to shut down the whole thing and go find better things to do with your life

Deterministic simulation testing should be part of every conversation with your coding agent.
Otherwise, you’re doing it wrong™️

in the Think post, I proposed this idea of an execution Ladder. Where the LLM (or even the user) _chooses_ to escalate the execution environment based on what it's trying to do at the moment. I'll make it so this isn't cloudflare specific, you can bring your own browser/sandbox/memory service.
but it implies an impending feature/capability: those execution environments might have their own harnesses, and Think will have to communicate/work with them.
indeed (I mentioned this in my code mode talk) _users_ will be communicating to Think (and other apps) with _their_ own harnesses, running on their phones and whatever. I suspect some form of standard will arise for cross-harness communication/collaboration.

Will Instinct raise funding at a valuation above $10 billion before December 31, 2027?
@Polymarket I want to see this 🍿
I have a Cloud Code Routine with one simple goal: Clean up the code, make sure your PR has more code removed than added
Every single PR so far has been pretty good!
Sad but true
I've been reflecting on this. I'm generally a very optimistic person, but lately I've been feeling a strange sense of sadness that coding has been "solved".
I can, and have, made many caveats to "solved"... but I also know that in five years none of them will matter. It will be solved.
Building things is still fun, but a different kind of fun. It doesn't activate the same parts of my brain as trad coding did.
I think it's okay to mourn the thing we loved doing being different now. Software was the first job to go through the five AI stages of grief, which means we're also some of the first to internalize that this will happen to many other jobs.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Give Jev the debugger? Last year I experimented with giving LLMs the IDE debugger tools but the problem was that it took too long for the LLM to make simple decisions as it was debugging something. With Jev we can split the work. Jev runs the debugger, LLM does the thinking
Fully agree. @OpenApiSpec is the answer. LLMs are good at reading and using them.
Rant time 😈
I implemented and shipped support for MCP at Clerk, I contributed to the MCP spec and SDKs, and I was involved in steering the direction of the protocol in the early days, even attending in-person meetings about it with a variety of industry players.
I am now very strongly against MCP and advise against using it both as a consumer and as a provider. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any going back at this point, but I feel sadly confident that it will waste countless hours of everyone's time over the coming years, when a much easier and better answer is right under our noses.
Let me tell the full story.
Should I move to Stockholm? 🤔
@Spotify. @Klarna. @Lovable. @WeAreLegora. Why do so many breakout tech companies come out of Stockholm and should you build your next startup here?
To answer these questions, I spent time with the people shaping this ecosystem:
@ElisHodzic02 from founders-house.com → building one of Stockholm’s most talent-dense founder communities
@felixhhaas from @Lovable shaping the design of the fastest-growing startups in the world
Hanna Haas from @norrsken_org → helping make Stockholm one of Europe’s strongest hubs for impact entrepreneurship
Stephen Townsend from haviohealth.com → building a health tech startup for long covid and post-viral care
@zorankokolanski & Olivia from @joinfivedegrees → bringing together some of Europe’s hottest founders and talent
