Overnight on lifebuild.me I asked Codex to: - Swap out my in-product agentic loop for pi.dev - Refactor the entire UI, removing dead code - Create custom project icons in-app w/ Nano Banana Pro - Create a LifeBuild MCP server 📈 models ➡️ 📈 ambition
Something people don't talk about enough when working with AI is just how much *fun* it is. It's not just about productivity! Claude Code is fun. Conductor is fun. ClawdBot is fun. Lean into the joy, folks!
First batch of alpha invites going out for lifebuild.me Nervous, but excited! Feels so janky right now and there's a million things I want to fix, but really important to just get it out there.

i mean i'd love to see more efforts like OCIF but failing that i think people could start cramming their app's data into HTML, PDF, etc. wouldn't make interop seamless but it would be easier to read and adversarially edit or script around

So far, I've written about the Software Factory and the Software Library. Factory has gotten all the play. No one knows what to do with Library (or why they even need one). People saying things like "I run 3-4 agents at a time, life is good! we've arrived!" That's not the factory. Not even close.
What will you do with your one wild l̶i̶f̶e̶ LLM-enhanced senior eng sw dev skillz?
The easiest path to malleable software: put an agent inside your app that has access to the repo for the product and can implement fixes and push PRs in response to the user pointing out problems. "Self-healing software"?
The Software Factory solves an operational problem: how do we orchestrate agents to deliver high-quality software. Once you know what to build, the factory gets to work. It doesn't solve the alignment problem. How do you keep the factory fed? Let me explain. x.com/jessmartin/...
I was wrong. It's not JUST the year of the Software Factory. It's the year of agent orchestration, generally. Across all domains. I wasn't seeing the larger movement. Now I can't un-see it.
I use conductor.build every day and love it. I wonder if they are thinking about higher-level orchestration? I hope so! someone needs to to build it.
Conductor - Run a team of coding agents on your Mac
Create parallel Codex + Claude Code agents in isolated workspaces. See at a glance what they're working on, then review and merge their changes.

Jess Martin@jessmart.in · 6mo agoHere’s the shift I imagine: tasks flow through a factory line. Imagine software dev as a literal factory. Each stage a station. Tasks enter and flow through, station by station, and emerge as deployed software. Developers don't shepherd. They build and operate the line.
2026 is the year we will stop hand-writing code and fully mechanize software engineering. This might sound like hype. And certainly there’s a lot of hype going around! But something substantial lies underneath the bluster. Here’s how I’m thinking about it.
Spending the day working on automating my software factory. Becoming more and more convinced that manufacturing is an appropriate metaphor and mechanism for managing software production.
Claude Code makes it so easy to go from "bug report" or "feature request" to open PR, it's kinda wild.
Hey folks, I'm "hosting" a @livestore.dev Community Hour tomorrow @ 11am ET in the LiveStore Discord: discord.com/events/11544... I'll be adding the new Sync Status API to my LiveStore app. Drop by, lurk, ask questions, or work on your own app!
Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games
Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

No better time to build that software thing you've been kickin' around in the back of your mind!
Claude (code) operating my computer is like the most fun computing I've had... maybe ever?
I'm so delighted to be building on @livestore.dev - the tech is already fantastic, but the bouquet of new stuff in the most recent Office Hours is extraordinary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaR9...

prototyping co-drawing with Gemini Flash 3 at Google in these demos "thinking" is disabled, which makes the model return tokens very quickly (all videos are realtime), and I find these rapid responses pretty good for the use-cases I'm experimenting with, like: executing simple diagrams ...
I've always thought of "personal software" as software that is personalized to me. But as I build my own personal software, I am realizing it's deeper than personalization. Personal software is a manifestation of my personhood. I am putting my *self* into this software.
