thanks! giving this a link back.

100 Bytes of CSS to look great everywhere Simple grab and go upgrade to the base user agent stylesheet to make for readable sites

@xgranade I'd suggest at least using 100 bytes to look great everywhere: https://www.swyx.io/css-100-bytes, Xess Classic is based on that: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xe/Xess/refs/heads/master/classic/xess.css

If you're using SvelteKit remote functions, you might want to patch asap.
@swyx.io did a neat TLDR on HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4663...

(i dont check in here enough) thanks so much for having me! happy thanksgiving!! are you attending NeurIPS?

Sean

we'll have #ElasticON SF next week. I'm especially excited to have convinced @swyx.io to join us for the closing keynote on "the year agents ate search" — let's see how much we can all agree or disagree here :D
www.elastic.co/events/elast... (and we still have a couple of free slots available)

A large presentation screen dominates the image, hanging in a modern glass-walled auditorium with tall windows, greenery outside, and wood-paneled ceiling beams above. Two presenters stand on a circular red carpet beneath the screen. On the screen (pink slide): At the top: “The Skills ecosystem” followed by “Enterprise & Team Skills.” Two large rounded rectangles appear side by side: • Left rectangle: light pink with a simple line icon of a briefcase. Beneath it: “Fortune 100 Org-wide Skills.” • Right rectangle: light pink with a line icon of a laptop cursor on a screen. Beneath it: “Enterprise FinTech for 1000s of SWEs.” Bottom-left corner of the slide shows the Anthropic logo. Presenters: On the left, a person with shoulder-length dark hair, glasses, a gray sweater, light pants, and sneakers. On the right, a person with short dark hair wearing a dark gray sweater and black pants. They stand in front of the screen facing the audience. The setting is bright and spacious, with natural outdoor light filtering through the glass behind them.

A large presentation slide fills most of the image, displayed in a modern glass-walled auditorium. Two presenters stand beneath it on a circular red carpet. Slide content (pink background): At the top, bold text reads: “Skills are a concrete step towards continuous learning” Below is a rising curved line from left to right, marked with three labeled milestones: • DAY 1 — a small red icon with a white starburst. Text underneath: “No skills” “Intelligent” • DAY 5 — the same icon, slightly larger. Text underneath: “A few skills” “Capable” • DAY 30 — the icon again, larger and placed at the top-right of the curve. Text underneath: “Many skills” “Useful” Bottom-left corner of the slide shows the Anthropic logo. Presenters: On the left, a person with glasses, a gray sweater, light pants, and sneakers holding a small device. On the right, a person with short dark hair, wearing a muted blue-gray sweater and dark pants, also holding a clicker. Behind them, tall glass windows reveal trees, greenery, and interior hallways.

two views from Anthropic

1. Claude Skills are for collaboration
2. Skills are for continual learning

AI Engineer Summit recap

Great conference! High powered legit speakers. Go if you have a chance

I don't yet see the youtube videos, i imagine @swyx.io is still editing, should be here soon: www.youtube.com/@aiDotEngine...

Big themes:
* RL envs
* AI coding

hey Sumit! any chance you're attending NeurIPS next week? wanna present "top information retrieval papers of the year"? chat me and/or email shawnthe1 at gmail?

Anthropic has had a Head of Developer Relations role open for the last 4 months, despite offering $385-460k salary

dx.tips/devrel-is-back

This is my attempt to explain why, after kind of dying out last year, DevRel is So Back, thanks to prompting from
@phillvdm.bsky.social
and
@pedramnavid.com

accidentally caused Nano Banana's system prompt to leak, but in a fun way

Host of Latent Space and AI engineering master @swyx.io is joining us at Sync Conf 2025. Tastemaker, product builder, and voice behind AI Engineering Summit.

give u 6 months im sure stuff will bubble up

Following on with more info for @swyx.io

@mackuba.eu maintains sdk.blue

The ATProto Touchers Discord discord.atprotocol.dev is great for all the newest launches & troubleshooting.

Soon @slices.network will be a couple of clicks to make a new backend & aggregator for ATProto data.

f the growth strategy, just wire the money to Dan for one blog post a month and ur good lol

pls come speak at AIE whenever u have an AI talk to do!! we are doing AIE Europe in London next April if that's interesting for you!

even critical/negative takes are fine tbh. itd be a dream for both me and ben to host you at our conference.

haha yeah but i have about 80k users of my "HN for AI" usecase that i can immediately seed it with

came here from HN. love your posts so much man.

i'm interested in building a "new HN" on atproto. went to the website. disappointed to find that there's no developer info about it lol.

Open Social — overreacted The protocol is the API.

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

We're excited to announce React Conf's first AI-related talk: a discussion panel with @vjeux.bsky.social @kentcdodds.com @swyx.io @t3.gg moderated by @leerob.com

@swyx.io useful steps for producing AI news and more generally for AI intensive applications.

AI Engineer World's Fair 2025 - Day 1 Keynotes & MCP track ft. Anthropic MCP team - YouTube

Spoke with @swyx.io about the evolving role of the AI Engineer for @redmonk.com's MonkCast. We discuss the definition of an AI Engineer, differences between AI Engineers & traditional software devs, vibe coding, frontend observability, & the AI Engineer World's Fair. redmonk.com/blog/2025/07...

Measuring Developer Relations DevRel is hot but nobody knows how to measure it. That's because we don't agree on what effective DevRel *is*, and we don't agree on the tradeoffs of lagging vs leading metrics for a creative, unattri...

Old but gold from @swyx.io. It's essential reading for developer advocates.

Cognition: The Devin is in the Details My thesis for the future of software dev agents. This is a hastily written blogpost done on not a lot of sleep, so pardon poor pacing and structure and typos and mistakes but just getting it out there...

this is from @swyx.io in announcing that he’s joining Cognition/Windsurf

it’s really good. goes into detail on model labs vs agent labs, sync vs async agents, and a whole lot more

S1: the $6 DeepSeek R1 Competitor (ft. Entropix) YouTube video by Latent Space

i went on @latent.space and chatted with @swyx.io about s1, entropix, and reasoning models

does this make me a podcasting bro?

Why MCP Won Learnings from Anthropic's extraordinarily successful Launch and Workshop

Interesting post about this from @swyx.io and crew: www.latent.space/p/why-mcp-won

It seems like the next step up from llmstxt.org

I think the usefulness really depends on if you want repeatable output from your LLM or if you use the LLM to build repeatable process (like terraform for config).

The Agent Reasoning Interface: o1/o3, Claude 3, ChatGPT Canvas, Tasks, and Operator — with Karina Nguyen of OpenAI Karina Nguyen from OpenAI (and previously Anthropic) discusses her work on Claude, ChatGPT Canvas and Tasks, and the new AI interaction paradigms for human-computer collaboration.

Fascinating to hear evolution of behavioural engineering in the context of generative AI models. Always useful to hear what @swyx.io is up to and their views.
