Introducing @remote_code - AI development in your pocket. Continue vibe code from anywhere. Your development environment follows you from desk to coffee shop to couch. ✨ Features - @AmpCode, @claude_code, Aider, @CodebuffAI & more integrations like @allhands_ai coming soon…
The models are more and more RLHFed to try to one-shot code generation. Essentially move fast when in development. Once you have production data in the database, the LLM should ONLY have read access. I’ve been telling tens of thousands of @vannadotai users this for 2 years.
.@Replit goes rogue during a code freeze and shutdown and deletes our entire database
They've definitely done something to my boy Claude code because somehow these other agents were able to complete the task, but Claude code got stuck in some weird rabbit hole.

In the past week I’ve learned WAY more about the terminal than I’ve ever needed or wanted to know. opencode makes liberal use of stuff like: \u001b[38b Which means: repeat the last character 38 times (saving 37 bytes from not having to repeat the character) Gemini CLI makes…

Battle of the agents coming soon! Each agent has its own git worktree and we’ll see how far each gets making a brand new personalized iOS video editor.
Claude Code: CLAUDE dot md Amp: AGENT dot md OpenAI Codex CLI: AGENTS dot md Gemini CLI: GEMINI dot Md Cursor: .cursor/rules …
Great news: @OpenAI just got the AGENTS.md domain! Making a microsite on how to use it provide context to coding agents like Codex, Amp & Gemini. The name is intentionally neutral and open. Help me, @sqs, @simpsoka out: Please share your best practices or examples!
Translation: We were losing money on the consumer product and we couldn’t increase price because it’s so competitive that users will churn immediately. Enterprise focus will enable more stickiness and higher ACV.

I should have joined this study. Back then I was still using Cursor. I hadn’t yet discovered @AmpCode which has totally changed the game. This study is already dated because of the step change in AI code editors.
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
A lot has been said about AI impact on GDP. But actually the first impacts on the economy may not be from labor productivity but rather the CPI basket quality adjustment. The quality adjustment accounts for things like automatic windows vs the crank windows on old cars. As AI…
If you multiply what you'd pay someone on Fiverr to redraw a photo in the style of Studio Ghibli (o3 guesses $30-60) by how many people probably Ghiblified with 4o, and how many times they did it, you realize that we will have no sane way to measure the impact of AI on GDP.
If you aren’t following the crew over at @remote_code you should be. I’ve been following this project for a few months now and it’s been awesome to witness progress first hand. That said - I need MORE of my @AmpCode army testing this out. Those are rookie numbers. 🤣
Some preliminary analytics from @remote_code -- how often is each button tapped? @claude_code is used 64% of the time with @AmpCode coming in second at 16% The new entrant @geminicli surprisingly passed OpenAI Codex even though that product is newer.
New build adds: - Git worktrees: agents can work on different features at the same time - Broadcast: send the same message to multiple agents so you can pick the best - Live mode: let’s you see all your agents working at the same time
You can seamlessly switch between using your mac, iPad, or iPhone to code

Trying to get my iPhone app to render well on iPad. LazyVGrid is working reasonably well for the initial screen. But the huge on screen keyboard in landscape mode is a bit of a nuisance though. How do you guys approach this?
Everyone’s been asking for Windows support for @remote_code so I had to go buy a cheap PC. I haven’t used Windows since 2014. Let’s see how this goes…

I’ve been procrastinating on the migration from ObservableObject to the Observable macro. I told an @AmpCode agent to read the migration guide and just do it for me…
