Full-stack indie dev. Shipped a lot of stuff in Rails, Node (serverless), React, Kotlin(ktor), and Scala. I like small teams, simple tools, and building fast.

Amazing Career Advice For College Grads From LinkedIn's Billionaire Founder
I've been a builder for 10+ years. I love building softwares. Thinking about a problem and owning the product end to end gives me joy. After leaving Agoda, I tried building a bunch of products, but distribution proved to be too much work for a single person, so coming back to what I like to do i.e building softwares.
I asked z.ai, "Which is the best model for coding"
Here's the response:
```
As of late 2024, there isn't one single "best" model for every situation, as performance depends on whether you need raw coding intelligence, speed, or integration into your workflow.
However, the current consensus among developers places Claude 3.5 Sonnet at the top for pure coding ability.
Here is a breakdown of the best models for coding right now, categorized by their strengths:
...
```
So they have data until late 2024 and nothing beyond? They don't even perform a web search. Doesn't seem to be on par with other frontier models.
In the meantime, I'm trying to update Antigravity to use the latest version, but it just wouldn't update itself, nor would it let me use 3.0 model. I restarted multiple times with the same result.
I tried telling this to agent, and it keeps repeating the same phrase "Gemini 3.1 Pro is not available on this version. Please upgrade to the latest version."
Congratulations on beating the benchmarks, but I wonder how much effort is devoted on improving DX?
Edit: It's updated now, I can confirm with "There are currently no updates available.". It still doesn't let me continue with the conversation. I'm able to create new session though.
Haha! For me it was quite obvious once it admitted because we kept talking and their behaviour stayed the same. It could see that AI's character was pretty flat, good enough for v1.
Correct. They sounded like human. The pacing was natural, it was real time, no lag. It felt human for the most part. There was even a background noise, which made it feel authentic.
EDIT: I'm almost tempted to go back and respond to that email now. Just out of curiosity, to see how soon I'll see a human.
I'm not sure how related this is, but I feel like it is.
I received a couple of emails for Ruby on Rails position, so I ignored the emails.
Yesterday out of nowhere I received a call from an HR, we discussed a few standard things but they didn't had the specific information about company or the budget. They told me to respond back to email.
Something didn't feel right, so I asked after gathering courage "Are you an AI agent?", and the answer was yes.
Now I wasn't looking for a job, but I would imagine, most people would not notice it. It was so realistic. Surely, there needs to be some guardrails.
I've been working on a Thai language learning application(https://thaicopilot.com/) for months now, so I would love to get some feedback from the community. I plan to expand to other languages, but the thought process for now is to get it right for one language and scale up the repeatable efforts for all the others.
Is anyone noticing reduced token consumption with Opus 4.6? This could be a release thing, but it would be interesting to observe see how it pans out once the hype cools off.
They are also giving away $50 extra pay as you go credit to try Opus 4.6. I just claimed it from the web usage page[1]. Are they anticipating higher token usage for the model or just want to promote the usage?
I'm building ThaiCopilot.com, it's a language learning application that I'm building, as language barrier was one of the biggest problem I faced as an expat in Thailand.
Getting close to my last day at my current job, and I couldn't be more excited to build in public.
When I moved to Thailand last year, the language barrier hit me immediately. So I’m scratching my own itch and building https://thaicopilot.com/, It's designed to help you learn Thai in real situations. Still early, but moving fast.
