Multi-modeling the Rocket Monster

Shut. The. Hell. Up. https://t.co/QVEzkIvXGv pic.twitter.com/mr5vIeJmf2 — Mikkel Malmberg (@mikker) August 12, 2026 This tweet got popular. It even brought out a hater or two demanding the receipts. So, without too much talk and definitely with no intention of selling you a course – here's the entire saga and agent transcripts that got me there. I won't call it a workflow because it's all just…

Shut. The. Hell. Up.

when two terminal windows view the same session in fut, the empty size difference space is filled with a cute ascii starry night sky because why not

Fable and Blender mcp is just completely nuts. We went from "hey computer write a poem about soup" to "hey computer draw a badass car with a jet engine on the roof then model it in 3d software and put it in a dusk desert chase scene" in how long?

Note

Amazing that with the right loop and a pad on the back, the models can just do the work completely by themselves. Before this autoresearch run, Fut was laggy on some busy multi-pane stress tests. Now it's matching the rest of the pack.

Nitro Kit is my UI kit for Ruby on Rails. Version 2 is rebuilt completely different than 1. 1 was tailored to devs. 2 is tailored to agents. How so? What’s the problem? Well, agents can build anything. BUT theyyy quickly lose grip on what components you have and which ones it should build again but slightly different. Do you know what makes a good dialog? Do you really want to discuss it with an…

Showed ChatGPT my plain text Obsidian workout tracker format and asked if it could parse it. It understood it just fine. Build me a tracker, I said. No no, you’re fine, it answered. This format is fine and will last you many years. What? Are you @kepano now?

Fully slopped. I guarantee nothing.

It's interesting how working with AI forces you to put the work into words. Like, I don't remember ever saying "bounding box" out loud but I already did 3 or 4 times just today. Always knew what I meant conceptually but rarely had to say it out loud.

Note

Will AI kill indie hacking? Will solo devs thrive with AI? Wrong questions. Question is: can you make something someone will pay for? What you can make as solo has changed. What people will buy has changed. Good old, terrible, wonderful capitalism hasn’t. Back to work.

Note

Fable is an idealist. It has some pretty good ideas. It's ambitious. Great at taking a step back, seeing the patterns, suggesting a new improved path . It'll convince you it's for the better. But as with any idealist, sometimes the imagined purity breaks when it meets reality.

Corporate "cyber security training" be like You find a USB stick in someone's butthole. Do you… lick it put it in your eye report it to IT

jk, relax. They're both very good. Don't tell them I said that

Have you read the comments below AI coding tweets? Some people are really struggling giving up just the slightest level of control. “AIs will cheat and hallucinate and I’m the only trustable entity in the known universe” Dude, did you try? Did you actually try? Big, modern models? Did you then try again and maybe practice a bit? It feels like saying no one can be trusted to use vim because you…

Can someone please one-shot++ a decent, no strings attached, no upsells, no ads guitar tuner app? I’ll gladly pay the one-time tier 1 or 2 price

Note

Still thinking a lot about how we can get closer to deterministically "correct" layouts and UI by agents. Tailwind, for all its benefits, doesn't feel like it helps. Too easy to step around whatever system you set up. Great for slow human speed, not great for agent speed. I think it has to be "components" and they have to be code code. HTML won't do. Ruby, JS/TS, whatever. Variants for looks.…

GPT-5.5 is such a buddy. Just so incredibly good at telling you exactly what you want to hear but like slightly more resolute. It might drive you off a cliff but my god will it feel like it’s the right decision.

I'm a simple man. The only thing I need is a quiet, tidy, simple place and a desk for my laptop. My laptop, and my chair and my two external monitors. And my keyboards. And my music gear and gaming pc and a place for the green screen and a drum set and a fridge filled with Coke Zero and a workbench and a bunch of tools and ooh maybe gym gear and a couch, gotta have a couch, and some guitar amps of…

I'm bored can someone release a new ground breaking LLM model soon? Just to feel something.

I accidentally forgot one airpod for the conference trip and I’ve never been more distraught in my life I’m dying

Just-enough AI

Today we're teaching the agent about how to recover from shooting yourself in the foot. Luckily this is not my first encounter with the consequences of my own actions.

Super cool video on Tuna ❤️🍣

Note

wtf is dude building this time?

Note

I for one do not feel like I am becoming dumber from using AI. On the contrary, I feel like I’m learning at a breakneck pace.

Note

The bad thing about including distinct graphical styles in your designs like TailwindCSS' grid lines here is that it gets copied so fast and then the original starts to feel cheap. Before this it was the Linear dark mode style, before that the glowing outline buttons, etc etc.

The future is bright

Self-upgradable software: A Pi setup

Before I tell you about my customized Pi coding agent setup , I want to briefly mention how any vanilla coding agent is more than enough . I built most of Tuna on a completely stock codex , high reasoning. You absolutely should not feel that this is necessary. It might not even be a good idea. So many grifters claim you're behind but nobody really knows . With that out of the way, welcome to the…

Note

I had a stray idea that I should let all the local speech-to-text models battle it out over the same audio clip to figure out which ones to recommend and now, thanks to coding agents, I can just say it out loud and have it. Results from image .

This little snail guy makes me happy every time I launch my custom email app .

My Pi exits with this message of encouragement. Thank you Pi.

Of all the psychoses I've taken part of, this current AI coding one sure is my favourite. Never have I felt this unlocked, locked in, ambitious and unconstrained by time or skill. And even at 10x (or whatever) the output, I am never done. Every time I get the thought "I've always wanted this app to do it like this" I can just dream it and build it. Prompt, prompt, prompt, Poof ! ( Literally .)…

Two areas where Dunning-Kruger had me delusional in the past: cooking and FPS gaming. What've you realized recently you actually were mid at then fixed it?

Note

One of you should build a reeeaaaally good email service that's just the API. So IMAP but also something more fancy like Gmail's API or Fastmail's JMAP. Make it super fast, super reliable, sorta cheap. Make it easy to build fun stuff without the hassle of running email servers.

How blessed are we that Coke Zero doesn’t travel through the strait of Hormuz

"More and more I'm starting to believe every major issue we caused has a solution to it once we actually start to get close to it becoming a massive problem. Refreshing way to not be a doomer." (x.com/dannypostma)

My mind is also starting to shift towards this. Both because of increased belief in human ingenuity and because of decreased belief in human ability to downgrade comfort expectations. Degradable plastic, lab meat, carbon removal tech. It’ll work out. I hope it will. It has to.

New Aerospace 0.20 can print the current window’s layout mode. Means we can add icons to Sketchybar.
