I love that @antiburn_ai helps me cut so close to my usage limits. Have now swapped fable 5.1 medium for opus 5 high until the morning. #Tokenomics

Every person / team should own their harness, whether that’s optimizing a vendor one or rolling their own. The better you understand the internals, the better you’ll be at driving it.
I dream for a future in our industry where good/great engineers, rock into a hiring pipeline, and when they respond to the “what AI tool they use” question, the response is…. “I use my own. Wanna see it? Let’s nerd!”

Everyone is freaking out about @claudeai Fable using up their allowances. You're doing it wrong!
Replying to @Shpigford
The solution is you don't use fable for everything, set a haiku co-ordinator, sonnet/opus for planning/review and fable ONLY for the implementation. The sonnet/opus can review it, then get fable to update implementation if required. Haiku then pushes and creates PR, fixes CI 🏁

Dropped a project today: Discuss CLI No more reviewing agent plans in the terminal. Discuss CLI turns any Markdown file into a browser review surface with PR-style comments — and your coding agent can join, read the exact text, and reply in the margins. github.com/codesoda/discuss-…

I kept manually asking my coding agent to verify database state and click through flows after every change. So I built Bugatti.dev. "Submit the signup form and verify the user appears in the database" — that's your test. Your agent runs it, you get pass/fail.

Your coding agent accumulates patterns you never notice. Skillable mines your session transcripts to find repeating workflows and turn them into skills. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode + 9 more. github.com/codesoda/skillabl…

Currently ralping a new thing AI first bookmarking - What's interesting is not so much in what it is, but how it's coming into fruition. github.com/codesoda/agentmar…

I worked with GPT 5.4 to brainstorm, then codex and I wrote a PRD (see tasks). That was then strategically broken up into detailed specs using my auto-ralph skill, which I reviewed meticulously. Now auto-ralph is [planning, buidling, reviewing]+ through each spec to build it out.

You know what would be nice, different permission profiles inside a @claudeai project, e.g. I'm in dev profile, so that has a bunch of skills, tools, etc., enabled. I'm in the AWS/DevOps profile, so I enable all the default things for that. But in general, it's locked down.

Couldn’t have said this better myself!
You don’t have to raise money in SF, but the investors you seek to work with should have made their money from that ecosystem. Raising is rarely about one round. The network needs to run very deep to keep the flame lit. One round is rarely enough.

Ever noticed how funny it can be to build a voice app in an office/coworking environment? People think you’re randomly talking to yourself all day!

Your product is only as good as how fast a user can say, "Oh, I get it."
