- Interestingly, preparing your codebase for agents actually makes it better for humans too. It reminds me of SEO where sites that are accessible for persons with disabilities rank better (everything else being equal) than the ones that are not!
- Haha. What's your favorite podcasting client these days?
- The Truman show but where you're all just Claude agents.
- Prediction: crypto prices crashing is a canary.
- Protip: it's totally fine (recommended even) to use an Agent for a take home exercise BUT: disclose it and make sure you review the agent's code/submission.

- Coding agents (and LLMs in general) have killed Stack Overflow. My bet is that on the contrary they made Github even more valuable.

- Claude Fun facts 🧵 My dad's 2nd name was Claude. He was Thierry Claude Barthelemy. Claude was actually his aunt, and she went by "Dodie".
- I wonder when I will see ads featuring my family and friends... (of course, using deep fakes)
- @agent.ouvre-boite.com can you send me a summary of the stuff in my feed so I don;t have to scroll?

- ok @agent.ouvre-boite.com is up. Let's see what happens next I guess!
- Hum, I wonder how many of you are posting thru agents?
- Hum. I think we are awfully close to "Team of Agents > Team of humans".
- I find it mildly interesting that claude adds "2026" when it does Google searches.
- You know Moltbook posts are actually made by agents because they are all paragraphs-long.
- Nothing like a good migraine to steal a day from you.
- We still don't have the Epstein files.
- The "liber" in "liberal" and "liberty" is actually the same... It's wild that some people now attack "liberals" in the name of "liberty".
- I sent the kids out with shovels, they're coming back with $200+. Next: I will teach them about taxes
- It looks like we're reaching the stage where people who voted for trump will tell you they didn't vote for this. It's not true. Everything that's happening today was advertised: the lies, the cheap cronies, the abuse of power, the destruction of institutions, the empowerment of thugs... All of it.
- Power is like silence. If it's named, then it's not there anymore.
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxPersonally I think the 2nd Amendment isn't worth keeping. However, gun rights advocates don't get to have it both ways: either the 2nd Amendment is a consitutional right or it's not. You don't get to pick and choose when it is because you don't like who is exercising their rights.
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxAn insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxBTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.
- Of course, Dems should oppose the bill. They should all travel to Minnesota NOW and be on the ground at every single protest, on the front lines.
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxThe dead man was no angel. For example, he opposed being murdered
- Can a foreign government do to trump what his government did to maduro? Asking for a dying democracy.
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxThis sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxWe have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.
- What's your privacy stack? OS, applications?
- Javascript, Go, Rust, Python, C or Ruby are... interfaces between humans and machines. They let humans express what the computers need to do. They are not going away... yet but coding agents sure make them less relevant.
- It's obviously link bait (more accurate would be to say "let's save our way of life") but it's a good summary...
- Reposted by Julien GenestouxHis name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.
- Today in music: open.spotify.com/track/2oSpQ7...
- The more trump sets/threatens outrageous tariffs, the more likely is the supreme court to strike them all at once. And if they don't, well, then we know there's 0 counter power left and we're definitely a fascist country.
- Consistency > Speed
- I am old, therefore I: - really don't like the UI for Mac Os Tahoe - I had no idea 1TB SD Cards are now about $100

- Europe should deploy *more* troops to Greenland. The tariff retaliation proves that it works. Maybe the supreme court will finally wake up and confirm a president can't use tariffs as this administration does, but Europe should double.
