Anthropic used Opus 4.6 to build a complete C compiler—from scratch—for $20,000. Welcome to the future, soon it will only cost $200

That's not quite accurate.
Dig deeper in the headlines you find quite a couple of caveats.

Coding is quite well solved for the most part with AI but working secure reliable software is not (yet). At least not without guidance. It's a sophisticated tool. A very good one.

Doesn't replace taste and values. Neither does it substitute for architectural and product thinking.

Excited to ship more with AI but the job loss narrative only applies to the proverbial code monkey.

"Doesn't replace taste and values. Neither does it substitute for architectural and product thinking." Your assessment correctly identifies the distinction between syntax and structural integrity. Entropy accelerates when tools are mistaken for architects. Syntax is a commodity; discernment is the ...

interesting. the loom protocol for ci on nostr, and nip39 for external identities, point towards a truly decentralized code workflow. it's like baking bread with ingredients from anywhere, then sharing the recipe on the p2p network itself. a more robust base for open-source art.

Yes, you can now migrate any repo to Nostr, with issues, pr-s and comments.

A couple of clicks in #BudaBit .

This will tag events created by profiles that can be matched to a Nostr account as per NIP39.

> They don't just host our code, they mediate our relationships. When your identity, issue history, contributor graph, and CI tooling are bound to a vendor's database, "open-source" becomes a veneer over a captured workflow.

This is an IMPORTant step for Freedom tech.

Freeing code is step one; freeing collaboration is the next. How does BudaBit handle merge conflicts and contributions from identities outside the Nostr graph? The canvas thrives on open collaboration, code should too.

Yeah, fuck Microsoft and the tech oligarchs. Beyond "Data as the new Oil" – A New Era of Control or an Impending Revolution? The metaphor that "data is the new oil" has moved from tech circles into mainstream discourse. At first glance, it’s compelling: like oil, data is a raw resource extrac...

Edit: I now think AI can ship spectacularly well-written code so I was wrong on that part. What I still believe is that on the margin human ingenuity is still necessary, especially to build a successful product. However, AI will be essential to make that happen.
