context7 MCP server for the win. What's amazing about the bug I ran into was there was a visual problem. Multiple mermaid diagrams were overlapping. I didn't look at the code. I took a screenshot and asked if there was a limitation in the library. It used context7 to look up docs

There is no AI tool that makes a good anything without good input. This requires understanding and clear communication.

There is no AI tool that makes a good backend, it is just insecure and non-scalable solutions.

Mermaid chart rendering? Check. With zoom and pan too!

Templating for AI agnets was certainly something I didn't give much though to before. Implementing langhcain and working with tools and templates was definitely an eye-opening experience. Now I have an easy way to test a variety of them.

Built-in web scraper tool. Built with @roo_code and Gemini 2.5 Pro. Chatting with Gemini, even it knows what's up. :) I'll open-source this if people are interested and it gets far enough along. Also open to ideas, but my goal was a simple tool to help build and test MCP servers.

My little desktop AI chat app (built entirely with AI using @roo_code and Gemini 2.5 Pro) now has two built-in mcp servers offering a few tools including a web scraper, a bunch of themes😀and zero dependencies. Embedded SQL and vector database. Working on templates now. #vibes

Gemini told me I "found the last piece to the puzzle." Seriously? Was this a test or something? Like it knew all the time or something. I'm paying for tokens for you to write the thing dude!

Know why I don't worry about AI taking over the world? Because there's too many bugs.

Tom Maiaroto@tmaiaroto · Jul 22

Creating agent chains is such a pain in the butt. Not really liking the whole langhcain thing so far. Could use improvement. I just need to figure out where.

Tom Maiaroto@tmaiaroto · Jul 22

I get that people are working on AI browsers...but in the future there won't be web browsers.

Tom Maiaroto@tmaiaroto · Jul 22

The great AI just asked for my help! 😂 I may have finally found its limit. Let's see if I can get it back on track.

Tom Maiaroto@tmaiaroto · Jul 22

Did Gemini 2.5 Pro get dumber overnight? I mean it's mostly there still but today it really got stuck on a few things it would normally nail. Weird. Still my favorite model, but I'm always looking for something more cost efficient. It just has to work at least as well.

It depends, but this is one of the dangers. futurism.com/ai-coding-prog…

tmaiaroto's tweet card. As AI takes the programming world by storm, experienced devs are still the gold standard — and they're better off without AI assistance, too.

Tom Maiaroto@tmaiaroto · Jul 20

I think a 32:9 monitor is the best setup for AI coding. The normal IDE's filesystem menu, then the code, then a panel with markdown files detailing the plan and the last panel on the right the AI agent chat. Beneath these is the terminal. Wow, never thought I'd fill the screen.

Hey @grok about how many possible combinations are there to build a simple online Todo list web app? Considering different languages, databases, frameworks, libraries and packages.

Yea... already did this before with @roo_code It's not that other tools can't, it's that people aren't thinking about how they approach coding. Always have a plan. The specs and diagrams are really amazing. forbes.com/sites/janakira…

tmaiaroto's tweet card. The success of Kiro will likely depend on its ability to demonstrate clear advantages over existing tools while addressing enterprise concerns about governance and quality.
