Building web.runme.dev. Trying to get my hearbeats back by automating my job with AI.

With WebMCP I keep coming back to moving state out of REACT using useSyncExternalStore. Storing state in plain old JS objects makes it easier to manipulate imperatively via an Agent to allow the Agent to interact with the UI.

I would quit or retire if I couldn't use Codex(or equivalent). It solves way too many problems that I never want to waste my heartbeats in again. I will never ever again fight CI to get a PR merged. Just won't do it.

Are there proposals for "copy left" licenses for AI? E.g If you train on this data your model must be open Or If you train on this data your TOS can't block distillation

AI writing gets a lot of knocks but I find AI generated bug reports are typically more thorough than what I'd write. I'm increasingly using Codex to draft slack messages which I then review and send.

What does WebMCP being a W3C standard mean? I assume it means all browsers support it. But WebMCP is only useful when you combine browsing capabilities with an agent. Browser + Agent is a new class of apps. I suspect it will only include a subset of browsers. @sarahedo.bsky.social

I think one of the advantages of WebMCP is safety. WebMCP is a way for web site authors to designate a subset of functionality intended for AI use as opposed to human use.

I'm starting to use Codex to post messages on slack. Surely this is further evidence slack needs to go away. The entire value proposition of slack is you need to talk to a human. Once it's just automated messages and AIs talking to AIs surely there is a better way

I'm still in the very early days of figuring out how to turn the crank with AI. Observability and continual improvement are still very much open questions.

BigTech doing layoffs because of AI gets a lot of attention. I think AI is commoditizing software. Which begs the question what is the future of software companies? Some of the biggest Web 2.0 companies (Facebook, YouTube) were built on the premise that creating webpages was hard.

I've used 2.6 billion tokens with Codex in the past week. This is all /goal for programming and operational tasks. In particular my usage is scaling with human effort as opposed to some other dimension; e.g. asking codex to analyze bluesky message

I've been using /goal in Codex for almost every operational task (pushes, run evals, etc...). I think my days of manually typing and running commands is coming to an end. I didn't expect this. A lot of the motivation for investing in notebooks was to allow human editing and execution of commands.
