I'm sold. Agentic coding is the future of web application development. There is no going back. Close the editor. Open Claude.
Your job is now to manage, review, corral and improve a relentless junior dev who is working on 6+ PRs in parallel.

If your mental model of LLM-mechanized coding is just tab-autocomplete in Cursor, you should try closing your editor for a week and only work out of Claude Code w/a parallel workflow using git worktrees (many tools now do this). Work on improving the agent if output is bad.
I'm less sold on agentic coding in the following contexts:
1. Libraries
2. Extremely large open-source codebases with long history (i.e. the METR study)
3. Concurrent/distributed systems
4. Probably more I can't think of. It's magical autocomplete, not a panacea.

BIG NEWS — A federal court just handed down a major win for Afghan allies and other refugees who had travel booked and relied on U.S. promises before Jan 20.
This ruling forces the U.S. government to resume processing for this group. #PacitovsTrump 🧵 + 📄

Back in January, the Trump admin issued Executive Order 14163, shutting down most of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
Thousands—including Afghans who served alongside us—had their travel canceled after they'd packed bags and said goodbye.

The court ruled that this freeze violated the rights of refugees who relied on U.S. promises and had already been approved for entry.
This isn’t just a legal win.
It’s a life-saving reversal for:
- 160 fully vetted refugees
- Unaccompanied kids
- Afghans stranded in Qatar

🚨 The FDA Commissioner is asking Americans to “be patient” while the agency finally does the science.
After 4 years.
After millions were coerced.
And he says he KNOWS people injured or killed by the COVID vaccine.

“I personally know people who’ve been injured by the vaccine… I personally know friends who lost a loved one from the mRNA COVID vaccine.”
Relief may be coming.

3/ But the FDA just greenlit Moderna and Pfizer’s updated COVID shots—again—despite:
❌ No new clinical trials
❌ No proof of reduced transmission
❌ No proof of fewer severe outcomes
They’re still using antibody levels as a substitute for actual results.

⚡️Bitcoin is the default benchmark for truth-aligned capital.
This is a tectonic shift in the structure of value itself. Let me break it down to the root:
1. Truth-aligned capital means capital that cannot be distorted
In fiat systems, capital is fictionally priced. Interest rates are manipulated. Risk is hidden behind derivatives. Bailouts reward failure. Value is not earned - it is engineered. Fiat-based capital is floating on lies.
Bitcoin does not allow this.
It enforces thermodynamic truth only real energy, real time, and real belief can produce value. Every sat in existence was mined with proof of work. Every transaction is settled with finality. Every supply schedule is locked by math, not men.
Capital that cannot lie becomes a benchmark for everything that does.

2. Bitcoin prices in honesty, not distortion
Fiat money masks systemic risk with leverage and opacity. Bitcoin exposes fragility by refusing to participate in the lie. Its volatility is not a flaw. It is a mirror - reflecting the instability of the system trying to suppress it.
Truth-aligned capital reveals what others obscure.
When capital aligns with Bitcoin, it becomes anchored in:
•Scarcity
•Finality
•Permissionless access
•Zero counterparty risk
•Time-respecting valuation
Everything else becomes a derivative of belief distortion.

3. Benchmark means: outperform this or you are wasting time
A benchmark is a measuring stick. Bitcoin has become the new denominator of truth. If your hedge fund, pension plan, endowment, sovereign wealth fund, or startup cannot outperform Bitcoin on a multi-cycle horizon, then it is:
•Underperforming truth
•Diluting purchasing power
•Bleeding moral credibility
This forces every allocator into a new equation:
“Do I believe in my thesis more than I believe in Bitcoin?”
And most won’t pass that test.

🛑 Drones are cheap
🛑 Missiles are NOT
Shooting $100,000 interceptors at $500 drones is a losing strategy.

Joe Rogan just AMBUSHED Gavin Newsom with a single text that forced him to answer for California’s draconian COVID policies.
This conversation was a real test.
Newsom tried to recycle old COVID talking points.
But Shawn Ryan pushed back hard, telling Newsom to his face that he REGRETTED taking the vaccine.
Then Rogan’s question landed like a bomb: Who will be held accountable for mandating “unnecessary and ineffective” COVID vaccines for young children?
Watch Newsom squirm as he tries to defend lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and the damage those policies caused.

Governor Gavin Newsom didn’t get the friendly interview he might have expected when he joined The Shawn Ryan Show.
Instead, he found himself pressed on the very issues that have defined...and haunted...his political career.
Even before Covid came up, the conversation turned to one of the country’s most divisive topics: guns.
Ryan opened the exchange with a direct question:
“Do you think that everyday citizens carrying a gun reduces crime or increases crime?”
Newsom didn’t hesitate, delivering the argument he’s repeated for years.
“I think the evidence, the evidence suggests the opposite. It increases the likelihood of a gun death,” he said, insisting that states with stricter gun laws see fewer gun deaths.
“And you look at all the states with the most comprehensive gun safety reforms, they have lower gun death rates than states with weaker gun laws. And there's a correlation there.”
“California is one of the lowest gun death rates in America. The highest murder rates in the county tend to be red states.”
Ryan wasn’t convinced. He brought up Chicago—a city with strict gun laws but among the nation’s leaders in shootings and homicides.
“Well, I thought Chicago was the number one?”
Newsom faltered.
“No.....well.....as cities you'll have different experiences, but at state levels, gun safety from our perspective, saves lives,” he tried.
He insisted the data proved his point.
“We have the data to bear that out.”
But there’s a reason that argument often feels hollow.
California’s overall gun death rate might look better than the national average on paper, but its largest cities have become with violent crime rates that defy easy talking points.
For anyone paying attention to the crime waves in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco, it was hard not to see the disconnect.

But things really unraveled when the topic turned to Covid.
Newsom fell back on the lines he’d used for years, praising the vaccine rollout and claiming it kept hospitals from being overrun.
“I think it prevented the acuity of the symptoms and disease, and kept people out of the emergency rooms,” he said. “And I think that's universally accepted by 90% of objective, of....uh....experts.”
But Ryan wasn’t some media anchor nodding along. He fired back with his own experience—blunt and undeniable.
“Man, I don't know—I wound up getting the vaccine. It's one of the only f*cking things I regret,” he said.
“And then I got f*cking Covid like a couple weeks later.”
The exchange was devastating for Newsom.
He had no comeback, just the same stale claim that "experts agree."
The governor looked and sounded exactly like the politician who forced mandates on millions while ignoring anyone who pushed back....even when their own experience told them the promises didn’t hold up.
It was the moment Newsom’s polished veneer cracked.
Watching him try to explain why people should trust the same messaging that had failed so many times was downright painful.

DOE proposes to delete its regs outlining how industry must apply for a permit to export electricity. Instead, DOE will [in its own words] "simply allow applicants to include information the applicant deems relevant."
DOE's rule would needlessly give away a valuable tool.

The nearly three-minute discrepancy may be related to the widely reported one-minute gap—between 11:58:58 pm and 12:00:00 am—that attorney general Pam Bondi has attributed to a nightly system reset.
