Blacksmith's runners give Turborepo a remote cache without any setup: the log says "Remote caching enabled" and mentions "Blacksmith transparent cache". Any push whose inputs a previous run already checked now finishes in seconds. 🤯 #BuildInPublic

TIL that Blacksmith.sh offers a FREE tier of 3000/min/mo. My main CI job is literally 2x faster. 🫡 Sadly, my e2e job is not any faster, which is understandable. #BuildInPublic

If you’re using Open Knowledge Format (OKF), you’re going to want to check out OKForest.ai #BuildInPublic

“Your user's agent just got a credit card.” Anybody else terrified by this? 💸 Admittedly, I’m intrigued by the prospect of micro transactions, but I just know this is going to backfire spectacularly for someone. 🫣

THIS 👇 HERE TOO.......

This reminds me of The Narrated Gate problem that Elicitly solves. #BuildInPublic

For people writing Agent Skills, what resources do you use to write better skills? #BuildInPublic

this is by far the best "I quit my AI job over safety concerns" essay yet because it is the first one that is able to talk about safety concerns in practical terms and that understands "safety" as a topic with extensive literature in analogous fields www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

We are now at the very bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

AI doesn’t “go rogue.” Sounds like OpenAI has inadequate safety controls to prevent damage. Let’s not deflect Accountability.

Right before buying Screen Studio, I discovered Recordly.dev 🫡 Save your 💰 #BuildInPublic

I see this frequently with AI tools: "The first attempt failed because the sandbox blocks access... so I re-ran with the sandbox bypassed" Serious question: What's the point of a sandbox if you can just choose not to use it? #BuildInPublic

This regime doesn’t want you to vote. They don’t want you to voice your concerns over their lack of doing anything for America. Tearing down democracy is the goal. Fuck them ALL! 🗣️ #Vote in numbers too big to rig!

Trying to get Early Adopters, and seeing: "Sorry, I can't execute any software outside what's whitelisted by our company." 😞 #BuildInPublic

I asked Claude to make an agent for me… and it did it with GitHub Actions. 🤨 Some Pydantic code, triggered by a GitHub Action scheduler and linked to my Anthropic account using Identity Federation (no API Key). I didn’t expect this pattern, but it works for now. #BuildInPublic

One beautiful thing about Goose Desktop is how it uses the full screen width (unlike Claude Desktop or ChatGPT Desktop). Claude and ChatGPT are just wasting perfectly good screen real estate. #BuildInPublic

It is so dumb that I need a CLAUDE.md file that says look at AGENTS.md -- Why is Claude not on this supported list? #BuildInPublic

Canada will never forget.

Upgrading @pnpm.io 11.25.0 -> 12.3.4 resulted in a 38.26% increase in speed/throughput for my CI builds. 🚀 #BuildInPublic

Claude Desktop went from falsely advertising support for MCP elicitation to honestly not offering it. Progress, I guess... 😞 #BuildInPublic

For #BuildInPublic people building MCP Servers, shout out to Glama for creating TDQS - it provided helpful advice to improve my MCP Server's AI agent readiness.

This triggered me because I built Elicit.ly specifically because we need Human In The Loop (HITL) for Responsible AI — because AI needs Accountability. #BuildInPublic

Does anybody still think obra/superpowers skills are useful and valuable compared to "out of the box" Fable/Opus/Sonnet 5? Isn't it just unnecessarily overcomplicating things now? #BuildInPublic

Hard to overstate how much of a threat leaders and public officials who actually govern and serve the people pose to those whose political careers depend on fomenting cynicism and delegitimizing democracy

"Confirmed — you're right, and I was wrong." — says AI. I use the tools, but I inspect the changes. Like a hawk. If I am committing the change, then I'm accountable for the change. #BuildInPublic

Tech companies treating cautionary tales from science fiction as product roadmaps is one of my least favorite things about this timeline.

#AI efficiency low-hanging fruit: uploading a file via an MCP tool today pushes every byte through the model's context — tokens burned on a 500KB payload the model never reads. SEP-2631 fixes it: presigned uploads, bytes by reference. #BuildInPublic

We pay an LLM to retype a 500KB file, byte by byte, every time an agent uploads a meeting transcript. That's how MCP file inputs work today. SEP-2631 fixes it — presigned uploads, content by reference, zero tokens on payload. Vote for #AI efficiency. #BuildInPublic

This is how they get you to buy BOTH Claude and Codex! 🤖🦾💸
