If your agentic backends cannot freely collaborate on demand, are you sure you're using the right ide?

Go team @hob_app !

Week 1 of the hob alpha. Here's what shipped🚀: – PRs natively from the agent. No gh, no tea, no extra CLI. It opens one, you review, it ships. – Agent input redesigned with profile/model/reasoning chips, and @-files as inline pills. – Go to File (Cmd/Ctrl+P) for jumping

Very interesting! Kagi is a human-first privacy-focused search engine without ads. kagi.com

One person I really trust just switched from Claude to Codex. A few months from now, we’ll probably see another switch again. This is exactly why I don’t think learning every new tool is the right move. IDEs like @hob_app that keep you agnostic from agents are the future.

This needed to exist. Now it does. 🔥

hob is a workspace for AI coding agents. Only the workspace — not the model, not the agent. You bring those. Because when workspace, agent, and model all ship from one company, your tools stop working for you. Your code becomes their training data. Models change. Agents

Say whatever you want about @codex and gpt-5.4, but that agent hates the very idea of hand-waving. 😂

Every AI coding agent has the same blind spot: it can't leave your machine. tunnelagent gives any agent SSH access to any host. Remote files, remote shell, nothing to install on the other end. Your secrets never leave the server. tunnelagent.dev

We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps. uattest.net

"Free" search costs more than you think. With Kagi, you get zero ads, zero tracking, and AI on your terms.

@bcherny @Rahll And to keep an eye on your token burn limits... github.com/SmartAppsCo/cl…

👋 Roughly, the more tokens you throw at a coding problem, the better the result is. We call this test time compute. One way to make the result even better is to use separate context windows. This is what makes subagents work, and also why one agent can cause bugs and another (using the same exact model!) can find them. In a way, it’s similar to engineers — if I cause a bug, my coworker reviewing the code might find it more reliably than I can. In the limit, agents will probably write perfect bug-free code. Until we get there, multiple uncorrelated context windows tends to be a good approach.

Not knowing how to code giving you an advantage is absolute nonsense. The more you understand, the better your prompts, the better the feedback you give, the better product you ship. What will change is that the intricacies of syntax, compilers, module systems, the finer details of type systems, won’t matter as much to everyone. But you should absolutely understand how the pieces fit together. From syscall to pixels. Learn how data flows, because you’ll be able to secure your systems. Learn about performance, because you’ll be able to push your agent further. Learn about APIs, because they determine how to integrate systems. Learn about how systems fail, because you’ll be able to make reliable programs.

Your Claude usage is buried in a settings page. Every widget out there "fixes" this by burying it in a taskbar icon instead. Not ours. It's pinned to the desktop. Always on screen. No setup. No API key. Cross-platform. Rust. MIT. github.com/SmartAppsCo/cl…

OpenAI would rather hire a human than get a Claude subscription

It’s not easy to stand up for what you believe in. Proud to be an Ant. 🫡

I just open sourced a full x402 payment gateway. Self-hosted, multi-chain, direct settlement. Fork it, point it at your backend, and start accepting USDC micropayments for any API. No intermediaries holding your funds. Most x402 implementations today rely on hosted facilitators, you send payments to their contract, they settle, you withdraw later (minus fees). That works, but it's not how crypto should work. This gateway settles locally. USDC goes directly from payer to your wallet onchain. No middleman, no withdrawal step, just gas. What's included: → 9 EVM chains + Solana out of the box → Local settlement via viem + @x402/svm → MegaETH USDM support via Meridian facilitator as backup → Redis nonce tracking + idempotency for safe retries → /accepted and /.well-known/x402 agent discovery → Self-contained landing page → Backend proxy that hides x402 entirely from your API → Deploy guides for GCP Cloud Run, AWS, Railway, Fly.io, Docker Your backend never touches x402. The gateway verifies payment, settles on-chain, then proxies the request with your internal API key. Adding a paid route is ~10 lines of config. When to use this vs a hosted facilitator: if you want direct settlement, no fees beyond gas, and full control, than use this. If you want zero infrastructure and don't mind a third party holding funds temporarily, use a hosted facilitator. Both are valid, different tradeoffs. I built this for my own products and decided the infrastructure shouldn't stay private. The x402 ecosystem needs more self-hosted options. Fork it, ship it, use it. github.com/azep-ninja/x40…

@peter_szilagyi Passing secrets back to the inference providers IS a big problem. TunnelAgent.dev solves this by checking paths at the filesystem layer (and system prompt layer and shell layer). Haven't seen an agent break through all three layers simultaneously.

Old world: 1. startup founder finds a co-founder to close their skill gaps 2. raises money 3. launches MVP 4. hires a bunch of specialists to close more skill gaps New world: 1. startup founder builds entire product with AI 2. launches and gets basic PMF 3. hires 1-2 generalists that can run teams of agents 4. maybe doesn't even raise capital

@giansegato So true. Productivity up 20x, but mental exhaustion up at least 2x quarter over quarter.

Building is easy to talk about. Shipping is harder to fake. That didn't change with agents. In fact, it may have gotten worse.
