If you’re experimenting with OpenClaw, Slack agents, coding agents, scheduled agents, local agents, or agents connected to real tools, this AMA should be useful. Live Friday, May 1st at 10AM PT. Bring your questions! hiten.com/openclaw-ama↗

Full Workshop: @OpenAI Codex masterclass The agent is no longer just one chat window. In this workshop, @reach_vb and @kagigz get into how coding systems start to change when you can delegate work across subagents, split tasks up, and manage more context than a single thread can…↗

developers.openai.com/api/docs/guide… **NEW: GPT-5.5 Prompting Guide** "GPT-5.5 works best when prompts define the outcome and leave room for the model to choose an efficient solution path. Compared with earlier models, you can often use shorter, more outcome-oriented prompts:…↗

We've shipped more than a thousand versions of Zed, but all of them began with zero. Today, that changes. zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0↗

OpenClaw - the agentic software spreading like wildfire - was built on top of Pi, a minimalist, self-modifying agent. I sat down with Pi's creator, @badlogicgames and longtime Pi user (+ the creator of Flask) @mitsuhiko to talk Pi, and their (very grounded!) takes on building wit…↗

Fred Wilson is one of the greatest VCs of all time. He is also my new partner at @USV and I'm lucky to say that. We've known each other for years, but becoming partners felt like a reason to get to know him even better. So a few weeks ago, we walked around Union Square and caugh…↗

The post by @mitchellh gave me the final push to finish my GitHub "obituary". I originally started writing it after the Zig to Codeberg move. It's just a retelling of how I remember OpenSource pre GitHub and what it gave us. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/28/befo…↗

AI-native software engineering teams operate very differently than traditional teams. The obvious difference is that AI-native teams use coding agents to build products much faster, but this leads to many other changes in how we operate. For example, some great engineers now play…↗

AI has stopped being a feature and started being the foundation. We're excited about a new wave of startups rebuilding software, services, and silicon— and pushing AI into the physical world. ycombinator.com/rfs↗

The only people who believe any of this are non-coders. I tried to build a game (an area I’m an n00b in.) The results are amusingly disastrous - I never before coded a decent game. But I’ll crack out backend services w AI rapidly - because I coded dozens of them before…↗

@OpenAI We've been testing GPT-5.5 at Every for the last 3 weeks on everything from coding, to writing, to knowledge work. Here's our day 0 vibe check: every.to/p/gpt-5-5↗

My view is the AI boom will only accelerate and is a once in a lifetime transformation This is orthogonal to whether many AI companies should exit in next 12-18 months, as some may lack durability vs labs, new entrants, or weird market shifts businessinsider.com/ai-startup-fou…↗

My conversation with @OpenAI co-founder @gdb This is the most detailed first-person account of the 72 hours after Sam Altman was fired. We also go deep on what comes next: the global race to AGI, why ChatGPT stopped showing reasoning, how much of OpenAI's own code is now writt…↗

As coding agents have become the standard for developing software, we've transformed Sierra's engineering interview process to be AI-native. We've documented our lessons here, and very curious how others in the industry are navigating sierra.ai/blog/the-ai-na…↗

Last month, we published our look into what 81,000 people told us they want from AI. In new research, we’ve investigated the economic hopes and worries referenced in their responses. Read more: anthropic.com/research/81k-e…↗
