How I would define an AI agent at the start of 2025: In abstract, a piece of software that can achieve a certain goal, and uses AI to navigate the fuzzy path of achieving that goal. More specifically, a combination of - Goal - Context management - Underlying model - Tools (datastores and functions with effects) - Prompting & self-prompting strategies (including delegating to other agents) Example: A geocoding agent Goal: Parse content from a sentence and geocode it Context Management: Trimmed sliding window. We only need the very most recent messages to get the job done. Underlying model: A simple model like 4o mini is more than enough Tools: A function to search cities with inbuilt query match ranking, and a function with access to a Google Maps geocoding API Prompting: Single turn. The agent should be able to get the job done in a single exchange, or ask the user to clarify the location if needed

Following on yesterdays, MCP discussion, a very interesting X thread about this In brief; MCP makes sense as a clearing house for capabilities. Agents don’t need to rebuild the tool integrations, they can just access existing capabilities with standard auth. This reminds me of Amazons policy that teams and their products can only communicate over APIs https://x.com/abacaj/status/1897040132974538835?s=46&t=heYf7m0kaq62UF_MFK0e6g

You know what, I sort of agree. Whenever I've upgraded packages, it's always been an intentional process. There's no real reason for doing npm install package@latest WAGMI LGTM

I've been finding enjoyment in the new cursorrules .mdc file paradigm It's a super micro way of fractally specifying project standards and knowledge across the stack. My results have totally taken off since

I've been seeing alot of people complimenting the EQ of gpt 4.5. This is actually a huge feature of models outside of pure benchmark crushing. Ability to relate to a human, pickup on intent and have a much more fine grained discussion will be a huge unlock for next wave of apps. The reduced hallucinations are also a massive boost for serious business apps. https://x.com/adonis_singh/status/1896582818316406901/photo/1

I think we should use the Events.xyz app. It handles pinging personalised reminders via DM https://events.xyz/

I’m not a fan of the big frameworks, but tooling for getting things done is pretty handy. What it comes down to is business process automation with a clear pipeline of actions N8n is pretty good for setting up specific workflows and you can even self host it, just can’t sublicense it to others https://n8n.io Also have a look at https://www.langflow.org

How do you manage code reuse and type sharing in this context? I’ve done a shared “core” package before

One addendum to this, you don’t need the same app to serve both front end and backend I’m a monorepo maxi, types and utility packages sharing all the way, then choose the best setup for apps My usual go to is next.js on the front end and a nice lil koa server on the backend

The classic software conundrum. Easy to fall in love with features we ship, but real question is what is the human behind the screen trying to do or experience?

Finally found legit use case. Had to record a product demo today. Superposed my phone on top of a dynamic background made in keynote, and boom. Professional-looking product recording!

Official government simulator. If the company paid 1 million euros per year for you, you’d get 640k which entitles you to shit public healthcare (private nearly doesn’t exist), 6 months to see a specialist (if you can) After income tax of 45% you’d be at net 358k

7%? Go to France, it's 70% all inclusive from what a company pays to what people get in their pocket, and that's before sales tax and property tax
