nobody talks about this: your agents don't free up your time, they trap you in a new kind of workflow hell if you don't have a system.
without a good system, you just become their slave.
I learned this the hard way: constant context switching, managing agent outputs, checking for hallucinations. I was spending hours on what was supposed to save time.
so that's why I recommend building a solid orchestrator system upfront.
it takes time to build a great pipeline but once you have one that agents can't mess up by going off track, you automate 80% of your job and actually focus on long-term goals and your business.
Opus 5.5 performs too well to stay this way...
♻️ Same cycle every time: great launch performance → silent degradation after 1-2 weeks → everyone crawls back to OpenAI.
Build hard while it's still this good.
Finally we can now paste images directly into the terminal in @TermiusHQ
Good vibe servering!

You couldn’t have convinced 2020 me that data centers would become the rallying cry of Woke 2.0
While everyone watches China, Poland is quietly showing the way as the biggest European success of the last almost 40 years
Walk through Warsaw or Krakow and you will see it. The transformation is visible on the ground, especially over the past 10 years I would say
“Poland has been Europe’s growth champion since 1990: its real income per capita has increased by 3.6x, versus barely a 1.5x increase in the euro area.
Poland has now become richer than Japan 🇯🇵 and Spain 🇪🇸 (GDP pc PPP, 2026) and its $1+ trillion economy has earned it an invitation to the G20.”
Well done Poland!
Great post by @mmpiatkowski
In response to explicit and implicit questions about what “Poland🇵🇱 and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) can ever do for Europe 🇪🇺” and inspired by the Rhein Group @lugaricano @patrickc , here are my quick ideas on how CEE could add to the Draghi/Rhein Group agenda:
The bottom line: Draghi’s “3Is” recommendations, invest, integrate and innovate, should be complemented with “3Cs”, converge, compete and coordinate.
Draghi’s “3Is” can help push Europe’s most productive economies towards the global technological frontier while the CEE’s “3Cs” would bring the rest of the continent closer to Europe’s own frontier. The two are not mutually exclusive but mutually supportive, and together they would help rejuvenate Europe’s economy, based on the EU’s own examples of success.
Specifically:
1/ CONVERGE: it has arguably been the single most successful European policy of the last five decades which has turned the EU into the global "convergence machine". To give the most recent example (following the earlier success of Ireland and Southern Europe), Poland’s income per head in purchasing power terms has risen almost fourfold since 1990, against one and a half for the euro zone, and faster than South Korea and the other Asian Tigers. On IMF projections, this year Poland 🇵🇱will become richer than Japan 🇯🇵and Spain 🇪🇸(on a GDP per capita PPP). If this is not the biggest European success of the last almost 40 years, then i do not know what is!!!
But the job is unfinished: two thirds of EU members are still below the union income average, including four of the EU’s six largest economies, France, Italy, Spain and Poland. As an illustration, if all of them reached the EU-27 average, EU output would be roughly up to 10 percent higher in PPP terms and up to 15 percent higher in nominal terms, closing part of the income gap with the US.
How to do it? CEE will support convergence that translates not only into more spending but--above all--better spending: completing the continent’s physical connections, energy independence, technological sovereignty and faster diffusion of AI across European industry, plus keeping the door open to the Western Balkans, Moldova and Ukraine.
And it is not charity. For example, German 🇩🇪 exports to Poland have risen almost 30-fold since 1990 and now exceed 100bn euro a year, more than German exports to China 🇨🇳.
2/ COMPETE, inside the union as well as at its border. Services are almost 75 percent of the EU economy and are still its least contestable part; liberalizing them would provide the biggest productivity payoff. This is especially important for CEE companies, which meet visible and invisible barriers in the single market every day and face Western European incumbents who are in no hurry to remove them. Add stronger enforcement of internal market competition policy, which seems to be weakening, as reflected in the falling number of Commission infringement cases.
Externally, CEE would be happy to support the rejection of naive free trade fundamentalism: access to the single market should be contingent on investment, local content and technology transfer.
3/ COORDINATE, through coalitions of the willing rather than waiting for unanimity. Poland, Germany and France could for instance pilot a genuine 28th regime, with a single corporate and tax framework, starting with AI start-ups. Automatic recognition of professional qualifications, with a short negative list for genuine exceptions, would also be on the top of the CEE's reform agenda. And modern industrial policy under a “Made in Europe 2035” banner, but run at European rather than national level, so that members with the deepest pockets do not outspend others.
I have written up an op-ed with a full version of these arguments. Coming up soon.
Comments welcome in the meantime!
Imagine if Starlink was bundled with Super Grok, we'd get the best maker full stack in the world to build anything from literally anywhere
@elonmusk make it happen please
The MX Master series are perfect hardware ruined by terrible software full of bloatwares
Look at this open source alternative app that does the same config work: openlogi.org
The worst part of the otherwise excellent Logitech mice & keyboards has always been the software. Nice to see an open source, local-only desktop app alternative launch openlogi.org/
My clients save 10+ hours weekly with this little Google Workspace CLI
I’m still surprised that most people don't know it exists yet
It avoids context switching between websites and everything runs from one place like your terminal or web interface
I create customized workflows that amplify the whole system that interacts with Gmail, Calendar, Drive etc
No lock-in to Claude, ChatGPT or Grok Bot at $300+ per month

People worry about China's AI progress
But competition in AI between US and China is the only thing preventing monopoly control and permanent underclass status
Just try Chinese open source models with ZDR if you deal with sensitive matters
For 80% of tasks it does the job well for 10X less than Claude API cost
I build internal AI systems from pre-seed to Series A tech companies and train 60+ operators using them
There is clearly a before and after in the way they work and deliver
Same talent, better output
After one month, I already see a big upgrade in their skills.
They deliver faster and better because their work is amplified with AI thanks to structured processes and methods that work
Claude code finally added an option for concise mode that cuts response bloat by ~80%
/config -> output style -> concise ✅
Flying with @Starlink onboard completely changes my travel experience
I flew Air France with free Starlink and got work done from my laptop at 35,000 feet
Same Airbus, same alliance (KLM) but without Starlink felt like a downgrade
Most people skip abs (me included) and wonder why their core is weak
15min abs session is all you need
Light mode with medium contrast > dark mode for reading text/code.
I switched back to light mode and my eyes thank me 😊
I spend 4+ hours daily on my terminal/IDE and dark mode makes my eyes strain more than light mode.
On a light background your pupils contract, which increases depth of field and reduces blur from minor astigmatism (most people have some).
Dark mode dilates your pupils, so text halates and blurs more, especially small text like code.
Studies on "positive polarity" (dark text on light bg) consistently show better reading speed, fewer errors, less fatigue on long sessions.
Do you notice any difference in eye fatigue when you switched?
