Grok Code Fast being free for so long really revealed a whole untapped market desire for low-cost (free) agentic coding support. It will be fascinating to see when the paid version drops how the market reacts. We've already seen new free tiers invented. What else will happen?

Grace Hopper carried wire pieces in her purse to show engineers what a nanosecond looked like. She spent her career making computers speak human. Today I prompted Claude in plain English and got working code back. We're living exactly what Amazing Grace predicted. brendan.fyi/grace

Something I think people really underutilize is: having AI help you write the prompts for AI. And moreover, prompting the AI to ask you questions that it would have to make the prompt and the output that you're going to get from it better!

Hot take: Claude Code and Gemini CLI are NOT CLI tools. The are React web apps in the terminal.

Brendan O’Leary ✅ @brendan.fyi · 28/06/2025

I honestly don't understand the hype around these "CLI" coding agents - they are just ChatGPT for code in the terminal .. like I expected them to be more like Vim -- but they are further from vim then even VS Code would be. You don't see the actual code...

If you are going to go out on Saturday - remember. Do not say ANYTHING to authorities except "am I being detained" and/or "am I free to go" If you are free to go, walk away calmly. Everything you say can be used against you so say NOTHING.

How reliable are LLMs at extracting data from pdfs? Inspired by @simonwillison.net's PyCon talk, I added extracting FEMA's daily operation briefing to my LLM evals suite. Just one model extracted the data from the pdf correctly: Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview. Full results -> kschaul.com/llm-evals/ev...
