"In a world where building anything is fast and almost free, what defines what is worth building?"
@handotdev @pk_iv @ankrgyl and @hpalan just dropped banger after banger in response to this question on this panel at the last Frontier hackathon last Thursday

i keep hearing this kinda thing
@obvious is likely the most capable software factory on market right now
now to stay that way
I like to test out software-factory type tools and coding agents by asking them to go clean up and fix the architecture of whatever my sloppiest project is at the time and @obvious is the only one that's actually done it and not just made things worse.

these other ai apps take themselves too seriously
you thought the windows xp theme was cool? time to try out ?theme=98 in @obvious
@MatthewGerstman can we get the BSOD here after like 3 minutes of using the app?
Matthew retweeted
actually fuck design this is delightful
cancel therapy. use @obvious with ?theme=xp
thanks @MatthewGerstman

thinking about introducing "queued work" into @obvious
for 70% cheaper tokens, you can schedule overnight loops that run at arbitrary latencies
we get 90% gpu utilization in off hours and you get token savings on long /goals
think: debug 100 brittle tests overnight for $10

this week @obvious migrated one of our product lines from AWS to @latitudesh
for $500 of GLM5.2 tokens burned, a long-running /goal, and $3000/mo of bare metal servers we cut out over $100k/mo of AWS spend
that's $1.2m/yr
what

the next step function in engineering will not be models, it will be a code framework designed for agents not humans
Matthew retweeted
if software is spec, what if we got AI to make specs that weren't slop?
working on this
(very inspired by the beauty of makingsoftware.com by @danhollick)
Really it depends on _what_ they're shipping. Good CODEOWNERS + architecture can block non technical employees from touching critical paths and enable them to fix the never ending stream of nits+ edge cases customers experience.
I've been working on this wild product called Autobuild that basically prints software. I spend time collaborating on a spec and then it just goes.
The code is good, review is automated, by the time it gets to me I'm testing a preview url and spot checking it.
It's absolutely surreal watching a codebase evolve this fast and actually work. It feels like being able to do the work of 100 people.
If you want to try it, hit me up.
This is one of the most dangerous things I've built with
@obvious, a @shopgoodwill scanner for things I'm looking for.

going all in. let's do this.
