I asked my colleagues what I should write about next and they said "AI and agents"
I've already had a few editions of "how i use LLMs" so thought I'd have a special guest hot take in today's episode...

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Replay is working as a system right now. So it must be a setup issue. Quickest thing is to open a support ticket
👋 hey, no, it's working fine right now as far as i can see
We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.
i'm considering some nice soup... AMA
"Foreign-born Citizens" are actually just called citizens.
"Foreign-born voters" are just called voters
"non-citizen voters" (yes, this is a thing here in 🇬🇧) are just voters.
Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
Someone told me there aren't enough opinions about software engineering on the internet
Thought I'd better do something about that!

a screenshot of a Slack message. it says so many deaths because of Gen Z slang me: "that's fire!" them: "thankyou" *burns to death

i did not think, when i woke up today, that i would twice endorse cigarettes for children
thrilling how good coding agents are now
prompted "when searching for person properties in the taxonomic filter why does a search of email a match the person property email which has label Email address but email ad does not match it"
it found the bug, wrote tests, & made a PR with the fix
a cartoon image generated from the the prompt: "gary williams, an unassuming economist is bitten by a radioactive cheque book and becomes the hero we need (but can't afford) "market force""
the robots are getting so good at text
yet another logs product advertised with the tag line "farewell, steve the horse"

a prompt that says: "lket's include quick filter in the name so it ties giyeher"
prompt engineering is an important skill

Ready to get moovin
i love the image i have now of you finishing meditation
getting up
looking at the news
sighing
lighting some more incense
and sitting back down to meditate some more
if you _are_ paying attention then you're 2 woke 2 furious
Ask PostHog AI to summarize those recordings... would love to hear what we come with!

I dual ran all of our CI in GH and Depot so we could be sure of the investment
The more engineers we hire the more that "devex" becomes a huge cost sink if we're not careful
For us depot is just a totally worth it spend
they now run github actions too
so we're not shipping the data backwards and forwards
it almost certainly costs us more then just using GitHub (because we're open source and get a high free limit from GH)
but it's measurably faster so it's money well-spent for us
All of the above :)
For us it started as a docker image build tool. They have lots of magic so that it is way faster in Depot than outside
But our image is very big so quickly the bottleneck was shipping from github to depot and back
luckily...
@depot.dev has been such a good choice for @posthog.com
more than once they've opened pull requests to fix our config for us (once cos they spotted we could reduce our bill 💖)
Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly
the goyt valley looking beautiful this morning
was lovely this morning, finally not wintry
(still _cold_ but i'll take any improvement i can get)
A screenshot from Reddit where it explains that starting a sentence 'chat' is referring to the group as 'chat' not asking chatgpr for help
Obviously I know this

i would absolutely have lost my mind if i'd had to read the thousands of lines of heap snapshots i've pumped into claude over recent weeks
