my daughter typed this and told me I can't delete it, so I guess I need to commit it. good thing I taught her line comment syntax.

- We made Amp Free. It's powered by great tokens and tasteful ads. Agentic coding is now free for everyone.
00:00 - Slack is threatening to shut off a big nonprofit teen coding community @hackclub (which is amazing and which I’ve helped for years) with just 3 days to migrate off. This would strand thousands of of the world’s smartest future coders. They are asking for $50k (a surprise 60x
- Microsoft just started enforcing their longtime license restriction on VS Code forks using more MS-published language extensions. Play this out a few more steps…
- If you saw how people actually use coding agents, you would realize Andrej's point is very true. People who keep them on a tight leash, using short threads, reading and reviewing all the code, can get a lot of value out of coding agents. People who go nuts have a quick high but
My pleasure to come on Dwarkesh last week, I thought the questions and conversation were really good. I re-watched the pod just now too. First of all, yes I know, and I'm sorry that I speak so fast :). It's to my detriment because sometimes my speaking thread out-executes my - Anthropic just published best practices for using Claude Code and coding agents generally. The key is you must be open to adapting your prompts to "empathize" with the model. Every vendor tiptoes around this suggestion because it sounds like blaming the user.
- Even amazon dot com is down. I don't recall that happening in past AWS outages. This must be a big one.
- Everyone else: “see you in 2022!” Enterprise software people: “see you in FY23!”
- +1 to this. @DavidSacks is fantastic for @Sourcegraph as an investor, advisor, and board member. He has supported us in risky, bold bets, and he knows how to get to the root cause of any problem really well and help solve it. I’ve recommended Sacks and Craft to many otherIn my experience as a founder, @DavidSacks has been nothing but helpful and supportive through a tumultuous period for startups. I hear the same from founder friends (many YC co’s) that he has invested in. Outside of tech, one thing I appreciated was he joined @garrytan in
- Replying to @QuinnyPigblocked and reported because you did not say "Adobe®"
- Replying to @sqspushed and committed it. it's on the main branch forever. slight twist though: it's on someone else's PR branch that was squash-merged, and they are the git author (I am the Co-Authored-By).
- "There's a good chance that by the end of the year, people aren't using IDEs anymore." — Boris Cherny (Anthropic) Yes. The IDE is shrinking into a debugging and review tool for most devs most of the time. And the code host...who cares? Everything is changing, there is no moat.
00:00 - I love OpenAI and want to make things right here. We picked AGENT.md in Amp (ampcode.com/news/AGENT.md) and then OpenAI picked AGENTS.md for Codex. One of these should win! But there's a big reason why it should be AGENT.md...there are now 9 competing standards for "AI agent rules"
