Thank you for this. I'm in Europe with an established SaaS that's been running in production for years and I've converged on a similar stack (OVHCloud instead of Hetzner). However, I've realized you can stay sovereign an

“Let it crash” doesn’t mean keep bashing your head against the wall. Elixir makes it easy to write state machines which reason about different types of failures, but it’s more declarative (this process requires X and Y preconditions, otherw

Even if you’re just running Claude Code as an external CLI then Elixir makes this easier because it supervises and handles external processes gracefully. Starting, checking, stopping processes needs to be done manually in most languages.

> 100% of the time spent in agent frameworks is spent ... waiting for the agent to respond, or waiting for a tool call to execute. Almost no time is spent in the logic of the framework itself. But that’s exactly where multi threaded Elix

If you are just “gluing together API calls” that’s exactly where Elixir state machines and supervisors make your agentic code so much easier to write. API calls are constantly failing, timing out, retrying, and being pre/post processed

Even if I was building one single agent for a one off hobby project I would still use Elixir. It’s elegantly suited to the job. With any long running failure prone process you’re constantly writing try/catches, health checks, network t

Is someone at Anthropic reading my AI chats? I literally came to this conclusion a few weeks ago after studying the right framework for building long running browser agents. Have zero experience with Elixir but as soon as I looked at their

If “long running agents” have any use, this feels like the kind of project where they should be put to work. You have an oracle implementation (macOS) and a well defined problem with lots of grueling trial and error.

Great idea. But having only an SDK in Swift makes it extremely restricted. If it had a CLI interface I could start using it right away. And it only works on macOS?

Not surprising to me at all. I’m a straight man and I’ve always dated single mothers, and it always shocked me how bad their ex partners were. Woman are drawn to toxic abusers like men are drawn to OnlyFans models and the real victims are t

You say that as if it’s impossible but there are several indie makers that have gone from $10 MRR to $600k MRR over the past 8 months.

Right now small labs also have the best chance at tool harness improvements, which can yield just as many gains in AI performance as model training research.

The author seems to be complaining about the fact that you can't make a pet hobby project succeed purely out of technical excellence. First of all welcome to the club: musicians and artists and people of taste have long lived with the

Tasks completed in my todo list software I’ve been measuring my output for 5 years. Time saved because I built one off tools to automate many common workflows. And yes even dollars earned. I don’t mean 3x compounding monthly every month, I

Yes and yes.

I've been writing code for 20 years. AI has completely changed my life and the way I write code and run my business. Nothing is the same anymore, and I feel I will be saying that again by the end of 2026. My productive output as a prog

Does anyone know of a good image-to-ASCII converter?

I did read the article quite enthusiastically and my practical experience confirms the same. Sure the difference is more subtle. But my point was, an "agent" whether human or AI can be a lot more productive with better tools. This

How do you give it access to an editor? It doesn't have a keyboard and mouse.

How hard is it to for you to assemble a piece of IKEA furniture without an allen wrench, screwdriver, and clear instructions, vs with those 3?

My experience as well. People worry our profession is being reduced to "prompt engineer", but actually I get the feeling that programming will soon be mainly about designing and building harnesses for specific tasks.

by znnajdla 8mo ago
Yep this has been my experience with browser agents as well. One little change in the harness/agentic loop and the model suddenly becomes a whole lot smarter at navigating the web. I was also able to build a better browser agent than ‘

Yep it's called the "universal geometry of embeddings".

But does the tunnel expose the low level APIs required for Claude Code to write end to end tests and check browser console errors, etc ?

by znnajdla 9mo ago
I built a browser agent that can almost certainly handle that task. Will test and let you know by posting here later.

Few days ago I built something like this for a personal project because it’s just the obvious thing to do - abstract away the gory details of using a browser. I found it was surprisingly easy to build and I soon had a browser agent that wor

It is entirely possible for someone to be 2x faster at coding with AI without increasing their throughput. I believe Claude Code has made me at least 2x as productive. But I can easily see why a 2x increase in individual development speed m

This is exactly why some legal systems are intentionally not codified in language, i.e. the Qadi system. There are no laws, there are only mutually agreed upon judges who adjudicate between parties who bring a complaint. Every case is diffe
