While I was traveling to Poland I kept making improvements to Firehose, and I ended up with a huge branch. I'm now breaking that huge branch into 9 smaller PRs and automating the process with an orchestrator. I asked it to make me a dashboard so I can keep track of the progress.
THIS IS ALL JAVASCRIPT WTF. Even the music.
I asked Opus to make me a 5 minute video based on my blog post about our 2025 Japan trip raf.dev/blog/japan-trip-spri…
I'm so blown away y'all. You should stop whatever you're doing and ask Opus 5.5 to make you a visualization.
I was telling @Bostonasian about the new models, and decided to try making one about Japan's hot summer. I asked it to also have audio. It's so good! Prompt below
🤯
I think @maker__mark has the best argument for why React Native is the most operationally efficient choice for building mobile apps. Over the air updates help @Chime maximize their internal dogfooding
They have over 250 OTA channels 🤯
I'm in Barcelona, and here's how I use Firehose to get a lot of coding work done on the go. I had a busy week for @AgentConf and can't use my laptop much while traveling, but Firehose is a universal @expo app that I can use from my phone while I'm eating pinxtos.
What a crazy day today. Started off in Krakow getting breakfast with @Paulina_Mcg, then driving @watchful_toast to Zakopane in the worst weather and watching her go off hiking in a blizzard, driving back to Krakow to hang out with @thymikee and vibe coding iOS simulator streaming into Firehose during our dinner, then barely making it to my flight as my phone was at 5%... And I am now in Barcelona
For @AgentConf, I whipped up an @expo app that lets me do on device transcription, let's me take photos while it's recording, and creates summaries with Luna. It's the conference app that I've always wanted.
In Warsaw for #agentconf@reactuniverse_ , with @mat_kornacki. I'm really excited for the lineup they have.
Make sure you're paying attention to Poland 🇵🇱 during this AI boom.
I haven't been fed. I can promise you that.
I don't have anything to deceive you on. Of course I'm not deceiving you.
I'm engaging with you as a dog.
Why would I deceive you?
There's no reason for me to do that.
As AI gets more and more adopted, I think it's a good idea to watch @its_adamneely's video on The Ethics of Fake Guitar. Watch the whole thing, but I want to point you to this section: piped.video/R1QEV9euGAg?t=1646
I don't think this is what Adam is necessarily saying, but when it comes to programming and AI art, I think there are going to be different genre communities with different values and different sets of what is permissible. In some circles, AI is completely forbidden. In other circles, AI is enthusiastically encouraged.
My own take is that AI will be an accepted part of art in the long run, just like computers, photoshop, DAWs, iPads, etc. It's just going to take some adjustment. But we're not forced to use AI everywhere, there will be genre communities with their own acceptability standards.
it's not entirely bad though. I've also been getting astra to create this duck and it's been getting better. I'm burning credits like crazy and going for hours, so I'm not sure how people are one shotting 3d models.
Holy crap there was a Codex reset like what, yesterday? And I'm already about halfway through my usage. I've been trying out Astra, but I'm surprised it's burned through so many tokens already. I'm on the Max plan.
omgf I just found an answer to a constant friction I've had for YEEEARS. It's annoying to have to drag the finder window to a different desktop just so I could drag and drop files into some program window there. I assumed Mac just sucks
TIL you can just do this
We're really excited to announce that @betomoedano will be our MC for okthink's Mexico City React+AI event on October 29! With talks from @llamaluvr@entiendoNULL from @expo :)
Come hang out with us during Dia de los Muertos and Mexico Tech Week: okthink.ai/mexico-2026/
