X：Dex Horthy（HumanLayer）

I'm not sending my deck anymore 😂

I've been working on a skill that makes better HTML plans in Claude Code. It uses simple language, shows code snippets, surfaces questions & makes mockups. Linting reduces the normal failure cases that Claude runs into. Would love your feedback before shipping more broadly!

Each month, we get multiple inbound messages from startups building human-in-the-loop guardrails. So far, I've not encountered a single Langfuse customer interested in this.

People keep reaching for "factory" metaphors for AI, but factories run one process to make identical parts. Knowledge work is more like an R&D lab or a Michelin kitchen: you might spin up a little assembly line to make 20 of something, then tear it down — not run it for years.

"Vibecoding with cheap chinese AI model"

been a little quiet lately but excited to share what's next: HumanLayer is building the software forge for AI and whatever comes after it

on ai psychosis: as i watch engineers fall deeper into the belief that an amalgamation of mathematical probabilities somehow understands their codebase better than they do, i find myself thinking back to a time when software wasn’t built for hypergrowth, but simply to do x without inventing y. ai seems almost fundamentally opposed to this philosophy. ask it to do x and it will eagerly invent y and z before it has even tried to understand x. the danger isn’t that ai writes bad code- it’s that it makes writing unnecessary code 100% free and the human condition is such that some of us will always prefer the fast, steep gains of ai, even when it does a bajillion unrelated things to accomplish something that could have been done without changing anything else. so, somewhat paradoxically, the quality of software may keep declining for as long as ai keeps getting better. the cheaper complexity becomes to create, the less incentive there is to understand or avoid it. try to preserve this craft created by our ancestors write a LOC by hand today

Working on better orb memory management. Opus 5.5 decided to call processes that take up a lot of memory "hogs" Hogs! Absolutely Right, Belt & Braces (& Suspenders), Goblins, and now it's Hogs?

Agents write application code, but you still get paged at 2am when it breaks. We wanted to know whether AI could handle that part of the job too. Introducing Incident Arena: a benchmark that puts coding agents on call! Check out our paper & full dataset release below!
