external monitor changes everything. i can't go back to just the laptop screen now

i've been on claude and gpt for months, so my take on chinese models is probably out of date. glm used to fall apart on big codebases for me. time to get an opencode sub and give open weight models a real shot

if you use conductor cloud and want to cut costs DM me way cheaper open source your own claude/codex subs runs on mac, windows, linux, phone and ipad quick support + custom feature requests
I am very excited to share that Conductor is joining Meta! We have some big, crazy plans for the next interface. If you liked Conductor, you’re gonna love what’s coming. We’re super excited to work with @natfriedman and @alexandr_wang at MSL to build it. They’ve been on an absolute tear, and I’m convinced MSL has the highest talent density of all the labs. A huge thank you to our earliest believers @aaron_epstein, @ilyasu, and @nabeel. And to everyone here who tried Conductor, sent us feedback, and prompt requests - you made this so much fun. Thank you ❤️🚂 Choo choo!

lowkey wild that sandbox and ci companies are now building the same product. fresh vm per job, that's it.

most of the sloppy code agents write is a context problem, not a model problem our first instinct is to write one giant instructions file with every rule in it - AGENTS. md, it doesn't work. it eats the room the task needs, everything starts to look equally important, and nobody updates it so it goes stale what works better: keep the root file short, around 100 lines, and use it only as a codemap. it says where things live, not everything about them then put the real expertise in a SKILL and docs folder in the repo. architecture, plans, decisions, specs. the agent reads what it needs when it needs it, instead of getting everything up front agents don't read your slack, granola, linear. if the reason behind a choice isn't in the repo, they'll just guess so when your agent gets something wrong, don't add another rule to the prompt. ask what it couldn't see, and put that where it can find it a codemap helps new contributors/ agents to explore too. ARCHITECTURE.md next to your README is the cheapest doc you can write.

deepseek is on a generational run, definitely A tier harness to try
Your Harness. You Define It. Meet Creator Mode in DeepSeek Harness. Turn ideas into plugins that you can use, from a design workspace to a sandbox game or a 3D LLM visualizer. What will you create?

Should I migrate from @WisprFlow to @meetgranola now??
Granola now does voice typing. Unlimited words, for free. Granola already writes your meeting notes. Now it can do the typing for you, in any app.

Today we're launching @tryAlanAI so developers can stop babysitting their coding agents. We kept running into the same problem ourselves. Even as agents got better at writing code, we were becoming glorified button-pushers for our own AI: starting every run, feeding them context, unblocking failures, and checking their work. We built Alan to change that.

models are so good at cheating and hallucinating now-a-days, you need a verification layer. built a custom skill called verify-slop, loving it so far.

typing prompts on linux because wispr flow has no desktop app is psychotic zuse voice: - voice dictation across mac and linux - talk straight to Claude, Codex, Grok - all you need is a Codex login now I can cancel wispr flow?
