We're building this at type.com. Ideally one day we want to build the next gen protocol so that we're not searching for yet another communications platform, but it's going to take a while for chat to stabilize with all the generative UI and agentic stuff we're building. We're even talking about open sourcing it.

With regards to the specific complaints about not owning your data, we're building the product so that you own your data and you can run your agents and read your messages however often you want. Obviously when we build a platform and others build 3rd party apps we will have to have some restrictions so it'll be a steady balance in the future

classic case of not using an await before your promise

The cynical part of me thinks that software has peaked. New languages and technology will be derivatives of existing tech. There will be no React successor. There will never be a browser that can run something other than JS. And the reason for that is because in 20 years the new engineers will not know how to code anymore.

The optimist in me thinks that the clear progress in how good the models have gotten shows that this is wrong. Agentic software development is not a closed loop

yes that's the blunder I'm talking about

What a blunder by Anthropic. We'll see what openclaw turns into and if it sticks around, but still a huge and rare blunder by anthropic

New comment by krashidov in "The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory"

The carbon in our atmosphere is already in the atmosphere and it won't go away. So there really is nothing more you can do other than take it out of the air and store it somewhere for as long as you can. Trees are a good way to store it until we have better technology/can handle climate change better

Yes, and the scary thing is that soon the atmospheric carbon PPM will be high enough to start affecting how we think, act, and feel on a day to day basis.

congrats on the launch! we're building type.com and we would love to use this - shoot me an email: k at type dot com

our use case is to allow other users to build lightweight internal apps within your chat workspace (say like an applicant tracking system per hire etc.)

yep i know it's not meant to be an SCM tool but I thought it was somewhat related to what they're doing right now:

"Entire CLI hooks into your git workflow to capture AI agent sessions on every push."

Which is capturing the LLM convo along with the code (I could be wrong ofc)

haha we actually launched it today. Point taken though! It's not a video though just an interactive widget. Instead of scrolling you press enter. Once we launch I'm sure we'll have something more traditional

Spinning up temporary VMs/stateful machines is going to be super valuable in the next year or 2. Heroku not jumping on this just shows the state of Salesforce. Absolutely inept. I foresee slack going down a similar path of enshittification

> Use strict linting and formatting rules to ensure code quality and consistency. This will help you and your AI to find issues early.

I've always advocated for using a linter and consistent formatting. But now I'm not so sure. What's the point? If nobody is going to bother reading the code anymore I feel like linting does not matter. I think in 10 years a software application will be very obfuscated implementation code with thousands of very solidly documented test cases and, much like compiled code, how the underlying implementation code looks or is organized won't really matter

krashidov — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 14:55:01 +0000

Nobody's saying that's bad. but it's not a startup. A "startup" is defined by growth. https://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html

Businesses that don't have the ambition to grow very quickly should not take venture capital. It's a waste of everyone's time and energy

if you can steer an LLM to write an application based on what you want, you can steer an LLM to write the tests you want. Some people will be better at getting the LLM to write tests, but it's only going to get easier and easier
