chatgpt sites just aint it anyone using it regularly and like it? always super slow for me, also dont like the 'login with chatgpt'

how many times will i build my own obsidian before actually trying (and settling on) obsidian

whats it called when the latest models make me think all previous versions are idiots?

grok bot not showing thinking is prob the future (for fast models) but if a task is taking more than a few seconds, it should output text to say what its doing nothing worse than seeing 'is working' for 10's of seconds +

grok bot will do well because theres very little setup to do

you know when you read a book and you can't follow the words words you dont know lots of characters etc but you read on and then 'get' what the words mean i feel like that working with agents building stuff. i pick up loads this way. often stop for a question or 10 mid (or side) chat

i’ve enjoyed chatting with grok 4.5 this week 4.6 feels similar which is great. the first real time i’ve given grok models a go and actually enjoying them long may the gains continue, 4.7 will be interesting results

as a recovering non-planner, im on step 1 of my journey

Today, we're announcing @ref_tools open beta. Ref is your team’s shared space to decide what agents build before any code gets written. We’ve raised $4M from @villageglobal, @Daybreak_Fund, @tmrohan, @RitualVC, @tonigemayel @barrald @wesmckinn and @bentossell. Every engineering team is battling the same problem. I call it Velocity Sickness. It's the disconcerting feeling that you're moving fast but not having the impact you expect. It's affecting individuals, teams and especially leaders. It looks like: - Too many PRs to merge. - Brainfry and burnout. - Engineers running in different directions. - Critical decisions being made by agents. The last one is the most dangerous. At its core, software engineering is about two things: (1) what decisions matter for my system? and (2) making those decisions. When you let agents make critical decisions, you lose ownership of your system and product. You solve these problems with Ref. Learn more: https://t.co/Af56xxTvTg
