Back in 2021 I interviewed at Vercel and I failed badly.
I couldnβt implement a debounce function and was stuck for like 30 minutes. It was pretty embarrassing.
10 months later (2022) I interviewed again and got the job.
Donβt give up!
The real Agentic Engineering
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control systemβand fully migrated our monorepo from gitβin five months: anthropic.com/engineering/reβ¦
A 4-month-old baby the glue?
Hold on

Motion not even a big enough word for wetin dey occur here
Lagos Life launched on October 1st. Just 9 days later, over 4.7 million people have played the game.
Today, Iβm excited to announce that Vatar, the parent company behind Lagos Life, has closed a $500K angel round led by AB Hassan (@ijbguy), Nathan Nwachuku (@_KingNath), and GB Agboola (@TechProd_Arch).
Lagos is just the beginning. Weβre building entire worlds, and thereβs so much more to come. π

I gotta work on this project now
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
Itβs the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.
