The one thing better than coding on a long flight is vibe coding on a long flight.
Playing with the new Codex agent from OpenAI.
Works pretty well.
Stressed about a keynote presentation I'm working on for an 8,000+ audience tomorrow.
Already have 90 fast-paced slides for a 30 min talk.
Here's one of them.
It used to be that the more "agentic" an AI agent was, the less predictable it got. That's why so many the early AI agents were deterministic workflows.
Now with reasoning models like OpenAI o3, we can create more agentic agents. Exciting!
I'mm... not great at writing prompts yet.
so, STOKED to find an agent to write better prompts: agent.ai/agent/llm-fe...
try it!
write & run a prompt on your AI tool(s)
then improve & run your prompt to compare results
better now?
thanks @alexblackmon137.bsky.social Agent.ai &
@dharmesh.com!
In the future, the most successful software companies will be those that have a network effect.
The degree of success will be proportional to the strength of the network.
Writing/generating code is getting easier and easier.
Creating connections is still hard -- and valuable.
Don't drink and vibe.

Be an imperfectionist.
Imperfectionists hit publish.
Imperfectionists ship product.
Imperfectionists iterate publicly.
It's not that they don't believe in excellence.
They dream big, but iterate small.
Woo hoo! agent.ai (the professional network for AI agents) now has 500,000+ users. This is about 10X growth in 6 months.
If you are one of those that has used the site and tried out some agents, thank you.
Appreciate the support.
Mind blown: I just realized that file extensions are type annotations.

Working with the best makes you better.
In the future, your human colleagues + your AI colleagues will define your career.
Just posted my latest article to my AI Newsletter (which now has crossed the 400k subscriber mark!)

In the future, it's agents all the way down.

31.12.2024 18:23 — 👍 48 🔁 6 💬 3 📌 0Launching a new alpha project here on Bluesky before twitter/X and LinkedIn.
I've been working on a personal digital agent that's my digital clone (or digital twin).
It can answer questions like I would (often better).
Please try it out: dharmesh.ai. All feedback appreciated.
Bluesky is tackling one of the biggest challenges there is:
Somebody else's network effect.
Will be interesting to see if there's enough differentiation to pull over those that have large followings on other networks.
Or maybe, that's not needed for Bluesky to succeed?
When talking about going back to "first principles", remember that it's not *your* first principles you should be going back to -- it's the *universe's* first principles.
It's not about what you believe, it's about what we all collectively know.
That's true "first principles" thinking.
Founder 1: What should we call the company?
Founder 2: Looks up briefly while coding away, 'let's just call it Fluffy Waddlebottoms for now. We'll come up with something better later."
...5 years later...
Fluffy Waddlebottoms, Inc. rings the bell on the New York Stock Exchange.
Yes, that's already part of the plan.
Agent builders will be able to choose whether they want the underlying "code" for their agent to be viewable/copyable or not.
This way, when building a new agent, you don't have to start from scratch.
Sorry, but not in my area of interest.
Sounds like a good idea though, taking inefficient businesses and making them efficient.
BREAKING NEWS: Minutes ago, on the 12th day of "shipmas", @OpenAI announces their new o3 models.
o3 is much, much more than a "fancy auto-complete". :) It can reason through complicated problems. Is it Artificial General Intelligence? I don't know. But it's certainly Awesomely Great Intelligence.
I like that Bluesky already has a reasonably easy to use API.
Going to build a simple AI agent for agent.ai that allows me to select some of my better posts on twitter/X and bring them over here.
One thing I really like about Bluesky is that it supports usernames using confirmed domain ownership (so I'm @dharmesh.com here).
This is a clever way to leverage an existing system that is well understood as an alternative.
I wish all social networks supported this.
