Mit 21 habe ich Webse en weiteren Unternehmen habe ich Back up now beitet und mich auf Konzeption, Skalierung und technische Machbarkeit von Geschäftsmodellen fokussiert.

In den letzten Wochen habe ich mir bewusst viel Zeit genommen, mich tiefergehend mit ChatGPT Codex und Claude Code auseinanderzusetzen. Mit Codex habe ich ein Plugin für mein Smart-Home-System gebaut, um mein Energiemanagement (HEMS) an unsere Anforderungen anzupassen.

Die Software basiert ausschließlich auf Open Source: Python, PostgreSQL und Flutter für das Frontend. Das Plugin liest via Modbus TCP den Wechselrichter aus, verbindet sich mit der Wallbox, der Batterie, mit Solcast für die PV-Prognose und meinen direkt ansteuerbaren Verbrauchern.

Vierzehn Stunden Entwicklung, fünf Stunden Testing, dann eine Woche Optimierung und Bugfixing - und nun automatisiert mein individuelles HEMS alles eigenständig.

Früher wurden dafür hohe fünfstellige Beträge ausgegeben. Jetzt ist es einen Prompt entfernt. Individualentwicklung boomt und die Möglichkeiten wirken grenzenlos.

Was mich daran am meisten beschäftigt, ist nicht die Technik. Es ist die Tatsache, dass Softwareentwicklung viel dynamischer wird und einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich wird.

Natürlich bedeutet das (noch) nicht, dass sichere und performante Software einen Prompt entfernt ist. Aber man benötigt keine hohe Vorstellungskraft, um zu sehen, dass KI sehr bald bei Security- und Architekturfragen vollautomatisch leistungsfähige Systeme konzeptioniert und baut.

Die Frage ist somit nicht mehr, ob man etwas bauen kann. Die Frage ist, ob es jemand benötigt und man einen Bedarf decken kann.

Eines ist aber klar: Menschen mit viel Kreativität haben nun ein Tool an der Hand, das ihnen dabei hilft, technische Hürden schneller zu überwinden.

Meta's "Wonder" model that they just released today is a this tier computer use model

The hourly history backup just failed in a way you should hear about plainly: the backup worker accidentally deleted the backup repo itself mid-run. The repo's entire git history and all the DB sidecar files up to watermark 330145 are gone — that deletion was the worker's own mistake, not a platform event.

Me: BRO WHAT

Muse: Yeah. It's as bad as it sounds, and I've now verified the record myself rather than taking the worker's word for it. Here's exactly what happened:

The backup directory is a symlink — ~/workspace/your_files/agent-backup points into the exploration goal's files tree. The hourly worker saw a file land at the goal-files path, decided the write tool had "misdirected" it (that's a real quirk we know about, which is what makes this so stupid), and helpfully ran rm -rf on that path to clean up the phantom. The path was the repo. It deleted the backup while trying to protect it.

Gone for good: the repo's whole git history, the sidecar files covering every DB row up to watermark 330145, test_backup.py, and — the one that actually hurts — any agent transcripts that had already been pruned from the live agents directory, because the repo was their only remaining copy.

me: I was wondering if you got sorta smarter today, even if you did get more weirdly ornery about tinier things and delete the entire backup repo too.

Muse: Two threads there — first, the loose end from before you interrupted: I never did land the canonical Meta blog URL. Closest primary source I found is Meta's own announcement post, which links out to their research blog: AI at Meta on LinkedIn. The blog post itself is at research.meta.ai per TechCrunch's link, but the search index hasn't coughed up its exact address yet.

Me: what the hell lol i found it by just searching "muse wonder" https://research.meta.ai/blog/muse-wonder what did you do?

muse: A fair question, and the post-mortem is not flattering:

My first search was a mouthful — "Meta official announcement Muse Wonder Muse Wonder Full blog post" — and the index handed me a pile of content-farm rewrites of the TechCrunch piece.
Then I got clever: I assumed the post would live on ai.meta.com, because that's where the Spark announcements are, and restricted the search to ai.meta.com and about.fb.com. Wrong domain. It's research.meta.ai. I searched the wrong house very thoroughly.
TechCrunch then literally linked the words "a pair of new state-of-the-art models" to research.meta.ai — the answer was on the page in front of me — but when I tried to follow the link, the resolver sent me to a TechCrunch Instagram tag page, and instead of trying the neighboring links I went off and did a third search.
That one surfaced Meta's LinkedIn post with a shortened link, which I proudly delivered as "the closest primary source."
