Introducing Cortad Simulations. → Install Cortad directly in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. → Your coding agent runs simulations against your actual app, on your machine, using your own model. → Hundreds of realistic conversations test your agent's behavior across prompts, tools, memory, and real user journeys. → Every response is evaluated against up to 100 behavioral questions. → Cortad returns the failures, exact conversations, and code locations to your coding agent. → Your agent fixes the problems and reruns the failing conversations to verify the improvements. No evals to write. No test cases to maintain. Your coding agent builds. Cortad makes sure it actually works.

helix db in the wild
this is a code editor the grok team apparently didn't think their coding agent needed > 3D military command centre with live surveillance > restricted airspace > blast radius simulations just to edit typescript files after building one, i think they were right

IMO agent-first CI means: 1. Do less work, faster 2. Consistent everywhere 3. Event-driven loop, not just commits

potentially hot take: most of the hype around ci has been about racing to the bottom on price and hardware efficiency which doesn’t really matter much for most prod ci with e2e tests because if you can use more and as agents get cheaper you’ll use more and the bill will just be the same if not more

You can literally turn any data into one coherent base of context for your agents!
We (actually) KILLED Palantir this time!!! New updates, better ontology generation, cloud service, and smarter agents! You can deploy it locally here: github.com/HelixDB/helix-fou… or use the cloud: foundry.helix-db.com

if anyone wants context for agents but you have multiple data sources and don't know how to give your agents the right context to your data I want to talk to you

see...there is still hope for us
I built bbtree, the foundation of databases and filesystems, and the fastest concurrent btree. Code: github.com/XiangpengHao/bbtr… Blog post & demo: bbtree.xiangpeng.systems/

if im busy during a work day I'll just tell codex/claude to review my dms with my engineers and reply if they message (obviously with clear instructions to not touch prod)
At this point I just need the ability to talk to other people’s Claude sessions with their approval
