here’s a short grok bot guide on how i create high quality bots and manage my team. ask @bot to read this post and help you improve your team! • add dr eggbot to your team! he’s my bot designer that i use to create bots • you don’t need a lot of bots. a few good bots can be more…↗

how do you trust your agents' work more? copy this post/link and give it to your @bot or agent! 1. codebase improvements: this is just good software engineering - better architecture, stronger types and invariants, clear boundaries. agents love to copy what exists and take the s…↗

i love writing. i never let agents write for me. whether it's docs, or tweets, or shitposts, or even prompts (okay maybe that one's harder as agents manage other agents) there's a simple reason for that: i still strongly believe that writing is thinking. it's a skill i hope to…↗

something that keeps bothering me is how some people see slop as something that is happening to them, like they're some kind of helpless bystander powerless to do anything about it excuse me but you are a software engineer, you literally learned how to make sand think and make c…↗

codebases have always contained slop. we have always been okay with this because code rarely needs to be perfect, outside of mission critical "hard" (eg embedded) software. swe is a unique form of engineering because you're often building something that constantly evolves and i…↗

my hypothesis is that maintainability is not as important as it used to be. the whole point of “making code easy to change” was because it took a lot of human effort to change code. well, agents make it trivial! thought experiment: if the code is correct, bug free, fast and eff…↗

it's very interesting how many replies i've gotten about maintainability and clean code being still important. i would argue that that is no longer true and we all need to update our priors on what Good Code really means in 2026. clean code has always come at a cost - performanc…↗

i just automated our release and QA process! using Grok Bot i made two Team Bots: sandcastle, my release manager, and poteto, my engineer bot. i added them to Slack and made a new channel for managing releases. first i tell sandcastle that i want to do a cut. it'll DM all the co…↗

here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly↗

Loops You Can Trust The best way to manage agents starts with a three minute egg. Suppose you run several restaurants that serve breakfasts to big bursts of morning traffic. Every customer orders the same meal: an egg, toast, and coffee. They expect all three to arrive together…↗
