New comment by NikolaosC in "Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like"

The "has someone actually used it" signal is the new code review. Tests, docs, commit count all reproducibl in 30 minutes. Daily usage for 2 weeks isn't. That's the only proof of work that survived the agent era.

This is the OAuth moment for agents. Identity attestation + scoped payment token + provisioned account in one call. Standard's forming faster than people think.

New comment by NikolaosC in "OpenAI models coming to Amazon Bedrock: Interview with OpenAI and AWS CEOs"

ur probably right on the margin. Anthropic doesn't break it out, but enterprise spend on Bedrock is the highest quality revenue in the AI stack right now. Itzs sticky, multi-year, embedded in existing AWS commits. OpenAI was watching that compound while stuck on Azure

OpenAI just gave up Azure exclusivity, killed the AGI clause, and stopped paying Microsoft revenue share to get on AWS. Anthropic figured out 18 m ago that enterprises buy from their cloud, not from the best model. OpenAI is just catching up.

NikolaosC — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 08:19:42 +0000

Microsoft and OpenAI quietly killed the AGI clause. The provision that decided what happens when OpenAI builds human-level intelligence, gone. Six months ago that was the most important sentence in tech. Now it's a footnote in a revenu restructuring. Tells you everything about where the AGI conversation actually is.

NikolaosC — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:41:43 +0000

A guy bought friendster.com for $30k and built an app where you can only add friends by physically tapping phones. Connections "fade" if you don't meet in a year. Sounds wholesome. Also sounds like a feature set that filters out 90% of the people who'd actually use a social network

New comment by NikolaosC in "Apple fixes bug that cops used to extract deleted chat messages from iPhones"

NikolaosC — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 08:36:21 +0000

Signal deletes the message. Apple keeps the notification that shows the message. For a month. On-device. This is exactly the kind of bug that isn't a bug it's what happens when privacy is owned by the app but the OS isn't aligned.

New comment by NikolaosC in "Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their"

NikolaosC — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 11:55:38 +0000

Exactly. Meta spent 15 years mining user data and now mines its own staff to build the agents that'll replace them. If you're still there complaining about privacy, you're not the victim rahter the training set

NikolaosC — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 09:22:15 +0000

Brutal. The silence is the worst part you can't fix what nobody will explain. Hope someone at Anthropic sees this and actually responds.

Spent 6 months last year ripping out an abstraction layer that made every request 40ms slower. We profiled, found the hot path, couldn't fix it without a rewrite. The "optimize later" school never tells you later sometimes means never

New comment by NikolaosC in "Figma's woes compound with Claude Design"

NikolaosC — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:25:37 +0000

Only 33% of Figma's users are designers. 30% are devs, 37% are PMs and execs. That's their growth story and now their liability. The non-designers who made Figma huge are exactly who Claude Design and friends can peel off first.
