Got to talk at @aidotengineer.bsky.social conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering. All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process. We have no good tools for...

Title slide saying "One Developer, Two Dozen Agents, Zero Alignment Why we Need Collaborative AI Engineering"

Slide saying "Alignment and communication is the new bottleneck"

Slide saying "Human context is not in the codebase"

Business context & financial resources, Political dynamics, Product vision, User research insights, and Organisational history are not in the codebase.

Putting together the final touches on slides for my talk at AI Engineer conf this Thursday @aidotengineer.bsky.social Talking about how we need realtime, multiplayer, collaborative agentic dev tools. Not isolated, single player terminal instances. And showing one we've built at @githubnext.com!

Title slide: One Developer, Two Dozen Agents, Zero Alignment: Why we Need Collaborative AI Engineering

The meme of two astronauts looking at earth. The one behind has a gun pointed at the other's head. First says "wait, alignment is the bottleneck?". Second says "always has been"

I think the most pragmatic thing people can do, if they're being mandated to use LLMs, is to unionise. If by some miracle the bubble doesn't burst, there will still likely be lots of layoffs so get protecting yourself and your colleagues. @ethanmarcotte.com has got the blueprint for you here.

tfw you haven been working on a new crate for a few weeks, uncommon name, available, don't want to be squatting before there is something to publish... publish... the remote server responded with an error (status 403 Forbidden): this crate exists but you don't seem to be an owner.

I've started building out an internal API for luna for debugging and hopefully in the future, scripting. Sort of in love with this idea, making everything in the app doable over api means we can have a playwrite-like api for testing, agents can use the api to test changes, users can write actions...

Did anyone ever write a little memento/recognition of room-like user interfaces? In my head it‘s nice, interactive, and very fun. Like a videogame where you switch between worlds. Microsoft Bob and Magic Cap are the most popular, but there is a long tail of those in other shells and videogames.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face
