AI is great at empowering individuals but extremely hard to harness as an organization. Everyone wants to use their own personal AI. Unclear if that is an intrinsic property of AI or people.
You can just paste mermaid markup into nano banana. That's bananas.
I'm excited about the future that AI holds, but even I've had the odd moment of disquiet about what it means for being a coder.
"Deep Blue" is a delightful term for it! 🤷
Everyone I talk to is working on the same few things. Everything everyone thinks is brilliant is obvious to everyone else.
Can we finally stfu about No Code?
It's funny how FOSS ended up feeding a few new megacorps that own everything when the whole point of FOSS was to prevent that from happening.

📝 "Hardwood: A New Parser for Apache Parquet"
Today is the day--beyond excited to share the first release of #Hardwood, a new parser for the Apache #Parquet file format, optimized for minimal dependencies and great performance.

I wrote a whole new repl for this purpose. Had the agents report back whether they had the tools they needed to do their jobs, and then had a coding agent write any missing tools. Unfortunately I ended up with a whole new programming language this way when I should have just used python lol.
Begging. Crying. Pleading. Offering little notes of encouragement.
(Me getting Codex to actually do the things it says it will do.)
It's so cute when Codex takes a nap (compacts context) and wakes up with a fresh perspective.
lol
Neat! I built an 8086 math coprocessor.

Literally who hasn't built a C compiler?
oh god
It's funny how ten minutes of integration tests didn't seem terrible a few months ago.
"...while maintaining backwards compatibility" with all the clients that don't exist yet.
Strange thing is how averse most agents are to making breaking changes. Like son you were the one making the API a minute ago.
TBH one agent works too fast for me to keep up with already. Don't get how people are juggling multiple branches and multiple prompts. I tried having 2 windows open and couldn't keep them straight.
If you're actively reading the code and engaging at that level it's not vibe coding, I think. It's just coding in 2026.
Need a word for extremely technical tightly steered vibe coding. Vibe coding sounds like you don't know what you're doing.
I've made an entire career out of just the A to B part lol

Ralph Wiggum loop for keeping corporate VPN connected.
Vacuous hype doesn't go far without an algorithm to prop it up.
A really cool thing you can do is have one agent bootstrap another. I had Codex loop until my agent reported that it wasn't confused or constrained. I had the agent try to find inconsistencies or areas of improvement and after a few days of iteration suddenly it couldn't find anything wrong.
