Amazing.

Those are rough waters.

Code is cheap. Insights are not.

How far south??? I’m mildly obsessed with extreme latitudes but to my endless frustration never hit either circle (Iceland north, Pataginia south). If you tell me you are going to South Georgia or Antarctica I am going to be intensely jealous.

No idea. I no longer need those things, empirically. If I needed them, I’d switch back briefly to VSCode, I guess?

Today's realization: I do very little direct editing of files any more.

That means the main feature I care about is speed: get in, edit/read, get out.

Switched from VSCode to Zed. Immediately and obviously better.

This is our true target market.

Hmmm. Maybe we should change our website to say just SSHXDV.

Chatting with the cashier, who just moved to Marin from rural Louisiana. His take: β€œEveryone here is super healthy, on the outside.β€œ

You are more than the worst thing you have ever done: true in life but not in miniature golf.

I definitely don’t want AI-written literature, but most code is straightforward enough, more doctor’s note than love note. (For that matter, I don't let LLMs write technical prose either.)

I bring judgment, experience, perspective, and skepticism; Opus does the grunt work.

It’s mostly grunt work.

My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts My smartest friends have bananas arguments about LLM coding.

A year ago: yikes. Today: makes sense.

fly.io/blog/youre-a... is a pretty solid write-up. And the tooling has dramatically improved since then (Opus 4.5 in particular).

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

A year ago I was only vaguely aware of the difference between the SA, the SS, the SD, and the gestapo. I now know more. It is indeed interesting! But also…

TIL! Thanks. :)

I wonder whether a tiny bit of well-placed microcopy in the output here might help passively educate folks.

(Silence is golden but we’ve already failed on that front.)

Also, whoever designs these things likes to put the designs on the butt. But the kid wants to SEE the character. (Unlike an adult who wants to be seen.) It goes on the front!

Yep, when we leave β€œdeveloper preview”, billing and CC will be more prominent. And we’ll do our best not to bait-and-switch our earliest adopters. :)

Filippo’s assessment is spot on. I’ll add when I’m back at a computer later. Doing Christmas stuff for the next N hours.

Just in time software I didn’t plan to write software in the grocery store last night. I was tired and hungry, kids in tow. My long shopping list sat in a text message. I wished I could check items off as I found them.…

After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.

Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.
