My co founder has been playing with it recently and has been impressed with the performance. I plan on digging into when I return from my family vacation.

A lot of my friends are talking about DeepSeek V3: a new open model outperforming Claude Sonnet on the Aider Polyglot coding benchmark with 10x cheaper inference costs. Now you can experiment with features for $2 instead of $20—great for rapid dev workflows. Have you tried it yet? If so, any thoughts?

The USA should replace the H1B program with direct green cards for those earning $200K+ or completing a 4-year degree. As an ex-H1B holder, the program exploits workers by tying visas to employers, enabling undue pressure & control. The H1B system stops people starting companies.

We should welcome Indian/Irish/Chinese entrepreneurs by giving them green cards, freeing them to start companies, create jobs, and end the two-tier tech system where H1B holders are tied to employers and often underpaid.

Have we reached the point with AGI where it can navigate multiple airlines and bureaucracies to track down and deliver missing bags? Can it outmaneuver the human inefficiency and get the job done? Asking for a friend.

Same. My version of this was when the wind blows https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Wind_Blows_(1986_film)

AI-era programmer productivity will prioritize tools, workflows, communication, and outcomes over deep language expertise, while timeless skills like debugging, first-principles thinking, and handling large codebases will remain invaluable.

One nice thing about Brian's videos is he talks about Cursor features I didn't know about, like auto generating git messages (derp) and the new AI bug fixer feature in cursor. Also, I had not heard of cline before, which seems really cool https://github.com/cline/cline

Great video about the differences between Windsurf and Cursor. I’ve become a big cursor fan so I was curious what all the hype around Windsurf was about and if I should try it. https://youtu.be/9jgR-Ih_wGs?si=e5c49BwsmuH-9LRR

Developer content marketing feels increasingly untrustworthy. I ignore most open source projects unless they come recommended by someone I trust, solve an immediate pain, or are undeniably popular. This didn’t feel like the case a few years ago.

An underrated challenge with log-analyzing agents is crafting them to communicate: 1) what’s important in the data, and 2) why it matters. Building AI still requires product sense—without it, you get long-winded replies worse than useless, like unclear engineers explaining their work.

One of the cool things about writing AI agents to detect and summarize issues with clients Sentry data is that Sentry is Open Source unlike say Datadog. So if the docs suck, you can just go look at the source code of the API endpoint, like so https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/92e31b8da7b68953f35622e74844b02551686b8d/src/sentry/api/endpoints/internal/quotas.py#L13

I now use Cursor instead of VSCode for day-to-day dev work. The big unlock was understanding how to manage context in its chat. With so much lying in the AI dev tool space, I only try tools that solve clear pains and are used by people I respect. Cursor passed both tests.

Full-stack development: bouncing between multiple instances of Cursor, fact-checking in a sea of open terminals, ChatGPT and Claude tabs.
