Code literacy will spread You can just do things
Onboarded my dad (basically no coding xp) yesterday to Amp and today he vibecoded a little iPad game to teach our kiddo some counting and arithmetic. Two things increasingly clear: code literacy going to spread more quickly than we think and education will never be the same.

Woot! Phoenix v1.8 ships with an AGENTS md file for new apps, ensuring teams using coding agents have an outstanding experience out of the box! Extracted from phoenix.new by @chris_mccord.
So close!!! Help me reach 5k! Follow me for AI Agents, Coding and bad Dad Jokes
Had a great chat with @mikehostetler about his "10,000 agents per human" vision and how Elixir's actor model is perfect for autonomous AI agent systems! 🤖 Full discussion available on your favorite podcasting platform: elixirmentor.com/podcast?ep=54 #elixirlang #myelixirstatus
Overheard: "The key to life is .... you just have to know when to start a new AI context" - Dave K
I was a nerdy kid - no sports ball - picked on by gym bros At 42 I finally cracked the code on going to the gym Lifting is aura farming Ez
Looks like I write my best posts in between sets at the gym 🤔 Lesson there
Are we talking about kids or agents? I don’t see the difference
Being a parent is just saying, “Is that what I just asked you to do?” Over and over until you die
My timeline is filled with Claude Code vs Amp What do you use and why? Which one is better?

Say you aren’t using @AmpCode without saying you aren’t using @AmpCode
Quick take on why most AI agents feel so clunky to interact with. The issue isn't the tech - it's that we're building them like traditional software workflows instead of giving them actual agency. Most builders are still structuring agents to work like "if this, then that" when…
Just published a blog about my recent workflow using @GeminiApp and @AmpCode to ship a functional OSS library. It took me a few days, and a few trial prompts to reach there. Link in the thread
This has already hit our team Even with automated PR review tools, we struggle to code-review, QA and accept code fast enough We are discussing bringing back full-time paid QA to help accelerate this - something I haven't seen in over a decade
QA is about to become a huge bottleneck in software development. AI lets us churn out HUGE amounts of code extremely fast, but you still need to make sure it works. AI can help with testing too, but if you _really_ want to be sure it works, you need the reassurance of human eyes…
Declarative coding frameworks like Ash are worth the learning curve This is a lot to be proud of!!!
Just hit 2k stars on GitHub @AshFramework. What a day! Thank you to the almost *250* people who helped us get here 🙇♂️ github.com/ash-project/ash #AshFramework #ElixirLang
Had a great chat with @mikehostetler about building AI agents in Elixir with his Jido framework! We discussed how AI is changing software development. Check out the full conversation here: youtube.com/live/Zr2OE0Jfy… #elixirlang #myelixirstatus
10,000 agents per human or bust
almost no one is awake to what this means yet. that's okay. they will be. 🎯>> THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF AI IS THE UNLOCK OF COMPUTATION FOR EVERY HUMAN every human alive will be able to manipulate bits using natural language. the implications are TERRIFYINGLY AWESOME. 🚀
