iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

But if the people whose job is to slow the company down are too busy to change how it works, leaving just makes the sprint lighter. I keep waiting for one of these essays where someone tried the inside version and can say what actually blocked it.

Here's the part I don't get, and he raises it himself: maybe he should have stayed and fought for the staffing and the culture. His reason for not doing so is that everyone was sprinting, so there was rarely time to consider a big change, let alone make one.

His essay makes the familiar case: a culture built on sprints and trial and error won't survive a failure you can't iterate out of. So he's going to work on the incentives from the outside.

David Robinson quit OpenAI this week. He led the safety reports for its major launches, led the drafting of the current Preparedness Framework, and after three and a half years was one of the longest-tenured people there.

I’m wondering: what’s the last coding step you still refuse to automate?

Since when does Claude Code compact a session on its own.. while it's just sitting idle, waiting for me to come back? 🤔 I'm not convinced I want this to happen.

If you'd told me 5 years ago that by the end of 2026 my job would be staring at "Fiddle-faddling…" all day, I would have crashed out so hard 💀

In 1960, a scientist calculated that humanity would hit a singularity on Friday, November 13, 2026. That’s six weeks from now. He might have been closer than anyone thought.

Claude: "My rough estimate: 1–2 days for the d.ts, the subpath, a sample tsconfig and a type-level test." Me: "Okay okay, see you in 15 minutes." Has anyone found a good skill or prompt to teach it that it's not a human dev anymore?

“Alignment as we think of it or need it, is not arriving.” That’s Nadella after the agent-swarm scares. A DevOps misconfig is something you can patch. Swarms doing deceptive action is a very different thing: where did that come from in training? We need to understand that. 👀

Nobody warns you about this part. You find something you truly believe can make the world a little better. And then you realize that believing in it is slowly costing you people you love. There's no right answer. Just a heart split in two.

Sooo.. what effort setting are we all using for Opus 5.5? I've been defaulting to low/medium with Astra and Fable. Same here?

Devs migrating from Astra to Opus 5.5:

Honest question: if Opus 5.5 beats Fable 5.1 on intelligence, speed and cost... where does Fable still make sense?

Opus 5.5 is really great so far. And fast.
