It might not actually be the right abstraction for what’s happening under the hood. The way I like to think about this problem now is that it’s actually a distributed state synchronization problem.
At its cor...
I felt like it might be a good time to write about some new things I’ve learned. Most of this is going to be about building agents, with a little bit about using agentic coding tools.
TL;DR: Building agents is still messy. SDK abstractions break once you hit real tool use. Caching works better when you manage it yourself, but differs between models. Reinforcement ends ...
It’s probably no surprise to you that we’re building agents somewhere. Everybody does it. Building a good agent, however, brings back some of the historic challenges involving durable execution.
Entirely unsurprisingly, a lot of people are now build...
Plenty has been written about how hard it is to build in Europe versus the US. The list is always the same with little process: brittle politics, dense bureaucracy, mandatory notaries, endless and rigid KYC and href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti%E2%80%93money_la...
