I posted a clip of you talking about engineers like us and it got like 1k likes and 100k+ views. People really want you to talk about agentic engineering and engineering in general. Talk more boss.

This was so good and inspiring. I was already very optimistic but this was a great jolt coming from you. You even got me to open up dell.com for the first time in years.

All thanks to @MichaelDell and the huge turnaround on the XPS line. I think the 14 in particular is poised to take off in a big way with Omarchy as the agentic OS.

Quick question: why isn't the themes page linked on the Omarchy home page? Is it an easter egg for people who read the manual?

With OpenAI and Anthropic both losing billions per year do you genuinely see anything sustainable and substantial for AI? Will it come down to free open source local models to be useful and practical for everyday users?

Anthropic is already profitable. OpenAI will be soon. Open weight models are amazing. There's nothing to black pill about.

I loved it from start to finish. I however found it fascinating that you rank Fable over Sol, it hasn't been my experience by quite a big margin. Keep it up!

The interview is SO good! I’ve been watching it for a few days in and off when I can and now I’m almost done. Came right to this video after I saw the @NetworkChuck video on Omarchy

Really good listen! It’s really easy to get hyped when you 2 are talking. Still hesitant to wipe my MacBook, but I’m guessing it’s inevitable once I finish the episode.

Dentist here. I’ve spent 12 years numbing people and I’ve never seen a world this numb. I’m turning an old bank into an AI-native practice. Feels like watching rockets launch while healthcare still debates whether any of them left the pad... That “if you’re not recognizing the gravity of the moment, that’s the delusion” line landed like a diagnostic. White-pill received. I don’t feel crazy anymore. If you walked into my practice tomorrow, what’s the first workflow you’d let an agent own end-to-end?

DHH (@dhh) has done more for the community than building great software. He’s a voice of optimism and hope in a time when so many are fearful and apocalyptic. His vision of the future is close to where I want to live. I hope more people consciously choose to be white-pilled. Because like he said: if the apocalypse is coming, there’s nothing you can do about it. Better to be optimistic and try to build a beautiful future. There’s something you can do about that.
