Excerpts from “Code is cheap, show me talk” by Kailash Nadh

An experienced developer who can talk well, that is, imagine, articulate, define problem statements, architect and engineer, has a massive advantage over someone who cannot, more disproportionately than ever.

I decided to give in and setup a @clawdbot daemon today for fun. Remotely on a fresh ec2 instance.

Apart from some hurdles, i got it working via telegram trigger.

I see the vision, have some ideas and yes we’re getting close.

Remote personal agents. Cambrian explosion. I see it.

Today, I shall try to do things that I couldn’t even attempt yesterday.

Following the pictorial trend on the idea of Roko's Basilisk, I asked chatGPT to generate an image on how I’d treated it.

Check out the trend here

You perform the best with a controlled amount of healthy stress.

Too much or too little stress can have negative consequences.

Practice and know your levels and limits.

“A skillful driver can mitigate this, but most lack the skill”

“Just two missing characters in a Regex filter allowed unauthenticated attackers to infiltrate the build environment and leak privileged credentials”

I just installed opencode using the “oh-my-opencode” wrapper and asked it to add a feature which I wanted to build in my side project, and guess what… in just 2 big shots, it was able to make a working version of it with minor tweaks from my side.

The value add is insane!

It genuinely feels to me like GPT-5.2 and Opus 4.5 in November represent an inflection point - one of those moments where the models get incrementally better in a way that tips across an invisible capability line where suddenly a whole bunch of much harder coding problems open up

It's possible Gemini 3 Pro should be included in that group as well, but I'm not seeing quite the same level of astonished buzz from hardened software engineers around that model as I am for the other two .
