The future is already here, it just isn’t evenly distributed

In 2026, taste is the engineering differentiator. Building is easy now. Knowing what to build, and what not to, is the hard part. Listen to users. Be elegant.

There's a life before using Claude Code with Opus and a life after it. 🤯

Opus 4.5 was released 42 days ago

Who’s building CLI-first mail client? No fancy features, easily used by agents, simple GUI. Can’t find anything reasonable.

I think I’m ready to call it. Claude Code + Opus 4.5 + Browser is AGI.

"low code" thesis turned out to be comically wrong

Yep. Don’t think we’ll run out of ideas anytime soon though. It’s day 9 of 2026. Let’s make the remaining 356 count.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Cursor goes and builds a new Github. A place where to manage your software, AI native. Many pieces in place already.

Imagine: node_modules/.skills Every package adds the docs FOR THAT PACKAGE AND VERSION to .skills We should do this

Scott Alexander on AI agents emergent behaviour on Moltbook: “Reddit is one of the prime sources for AI training data. So AIs ought to be unusually good at simulating Redditors, compared to other tasks. Put them in a Reddit-like environment and let them cook, and they can

"who cares if it's slop it works code doesn't matter" isn't a good way to sell ai im producing cleaner codebases than ever because of ai now i can actually refactor everything when we find a better way of doing something before shitty code just lingered forever

The Way of Kings is one of my favorite books. Looking forward to AI adaptations like this, insane.

What a lot of “AI won’t take the jobs” people don’t seem to understand is the degree to which white collar orgs are essentially structured to solve this chart. Imagine that each node is a person who actually does stuff (engineering, writing marking copy, drafting contracts,
