Super cool stuff they're doing. I visited!
200 AUAR micro factories. That’s all the UK needs to clear its entire yearly housing backlog. 🏗️ I just visited AUAR in London. They are building fully autonomous micro factories for houses. A robotic arm, a robotic saw, a robotic assembly table. All of it fits in a shipping container. The bet: Ship the factory to the construction site. Build walls there. For 100 years people tried to industrialize housing. Every attempt failed. Transport costs kill the economics. The factory is too expensive, the product too heavy. AUAR inverts it. Ship the factory, not the product. Two containers build a village. Ten build a small town. 200 build everything the UK needs in a year. And now they are starting to scale production. Mollie and Gilles are architects who spent a decade researching construction robotics before it was cool, they even wrote the book on it. We visited them as they are finishing their latest micro factory for a home builder on the US East Coast. One micro factory. 40 homes. Next they will help to build new UK cities for a million people. Disclaimer: we’re small investors, big fans.. Disclaimer 2: Yes, the housing crisis can be fixed by robots. 🦾🇪🇺 Full video on Youtube: piped.video/FhUQ4YVQL3g

Is there a reason perf optimization work is so fun? Is my ADHD brain seeking lots of tiny dopamine hits with a quick feedback loop? Probably 😆

This is the beginning of software and software engineering. We are just getting started.
Saying software is dead because anyone can build it is like saying photography is dead now that everyone in the world has a camera in their pocket Not only is it not dead it's the beginning of the Kodak Brownie moment for software, and we will see an absolute explosion of it It will be the first generation for who building software will feel no different than using it. This is crazy! The quality and bar of what we expect from our everyday apps will be raised dramatically, we'll have personal software, we'll have disposable software, and agents will be the foundation for most of it Tech has always been chaotic and evolving, the people who have been able to adapt and move in front of new opportunities have always excelled, this is nothing new, I'm seeing it now and we'll see it 10 years from now Find the opportunities in the chaose and disruption, there are countless of them

When I worked at @Upwork in like the 2010s I remember thinking someday there's going to be a version of this where the people do all the work on their phones. And it didn't really make sense then, I was just of like seeing the "mobile first" trend and trying to apply it to our business. But I mean now, yeah, you could totally hire designers/engineers/whatever who could literally do the whole job on their phone using AI agents. It's wild times.

Of course I think the struggle will now be, if you could hire someone to prompt the agents on their phone, why not just prompt them yourself on your own phone 🤷

The thing is I listen to like 80% of these records regularly and now I’m excited to checkout the other 20%

I like really claude desktop, but it's so difficult to search through the code diffs. You literally see results highlighted in the sidebar AND in the chat window AND in the code. Anyone have a secret here?

Some great speakers at this one and probably sun and soulvaki. Going to be a blast.

“Whenever you see tech debt or bad patterns your instinct should be, ‘I should write a lint rule about this’” Great talk by @poteto For some reason I thought this talk would be pro-slop and it’s really not 👏
here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly

We had a “realism checker” workflow at Stabiliity that ran through Gemini that I really want to benchmark against this new class of multi-modal decision models
Decision models with vision are crazy When they're open source, that's even crazier Cloudflare's clef is insane

If you have real users and are doing serious things, you gotta still read the code 🤷‍♂️
"Do You Still Read Code Written by AI?": The question every developer is asking their colleagues. Here's my honest answer: I use AI every day, and it's made me more productive than ever. But I still review every line that ships. @lucamaraschi and I will unpack it all next Wednesday!

Oooh looks fun. An Elegant Puzzle from @stripepress is still one of my fav eng. leadership book. Excited to see what else they have.
Getting crucified by the designers for my attempt at graphic design In my defense, St. Pancras is possibly the most beautiful train station in the world!! It does all the work for you (see you tomorrow, London! luma.com/u7cdup1e)
