What a doomer take. Hard to argue with with Chris here. Im trying to stay positive a s just do my job to thr best of my ability without getting too wrapped up in negativity. Basically he repeats the claims of ai labs and how many have been eventually correct. If it continues a large portion of us are cooked, if you think your not what do you think happens when half of the population gets displaced?

prs are dead. called it 2026 Predictions. Its sad to see all of these great open source projects die. The bigger the project, the greater the project, the bigger the flood of shit from random people with random harness, random, models I like the idea of keeping issues open. I see a flow in the future of a claw like system for some projects that just kick on investigation right away, auto close duplicates, solved etc. When maintainer approves it just makes it. As cool as this sounds it also sounds sad and souless.
Friday, October 2, 2026 Jack Baty's blog — posts, journal, notes. baty.net · baty.net It’s wild how apple went from there will be no app store and everything will be a web app to walled gardens of native apps that lock users in. And not just users but friends of users. Apple was supposed to lean on the web for all of its apps. It was Jobs’s original vision, but it was shortlived for one version before the app store was launched.
yes Linus, this is the future super optimized personal software using tokens we buy from the big bois. I feel the same feel you can see on Luke’s face, this is here, there’s no going back. It’s one part absolutely amazing and 2 parts scary shit. To answer Linus’s question how do you hire someone, when you run all custom software. We stop hiring experts in adobe suite and hiring expert storytellers who have taste, style, and the ability to create something amazing that users want no matter what suite they are in. Someone who understands the craft of making something good, how to feel when it’s wrong, and turn it around. I can totally see part of this future where someone is making amazing content for and Linus hires them cause they look good, but turns out just had a cracked dev that made the greatest way to click together content for their audience that was foolproof and the guy had no idea what he was doing. I get it, this is not the future that anyone wanted, no one asked for, for every upside, there are so many flaws, but this is now the generation we are working in and we gotta figure out how to make it work.

What to do while you wait for your agent
Why is this still a question? You start another one, thats how this works now. I often have 23 agents up and going, maybe 3-5 actively cooking. A bunch of them are done that im reviewing the final statement, maybe i want to make a note still, or need to review the output, or debating a follow up.
Im not saying its the most healthy, productive, or best. But its what all of the people I talk to that actually build things are doing

typesafe jev any good
Just got access to typesafe Jev very interesting new paradigm of responding to structured queries with structured responses **VERY FAST**, It will be interesting to see how this changes developer tooling moving forward.
Are the ai labs really slowing down?
Does anyone believe the labs when they say they are slowing down? I think a majority of people believe they ALL should. I think it's arguably impossible to slow them all down, so is there really any benefit to only slowing down the ones that you can regulate and let the others catch up?
