A Cloud for Small Software Pete Koomen Agents make it easy to build personal tools for yourself or your team. But deploying, securing, and sharing that software is still far more complicated than creating it. A cloud built for small software could remove that complexity and make bespoke tools...

We’re leaving the age of static software. As Sam Altman puts it, the future is software that writes itself for you. Same familiar interfaces, but tools that adapt, evolve, and code solutions on the fly. Software won’t be generic anymore. It’ll be personal. And honestly? That future looks insanely good.

Jensen Huang says we’ve passed the point of no return. “Software is not just a tool. Now software uses tools.” For the first time, intelligence is generated in real time as tokens. Now that it’s profitable, the only option is to scale. “We just have to make more of it.”

GOOGLE FIRES ENGINEER FOR PRO-PALESTINIAN OUTBURST "I'm a Google Cloud software engineer, and I refuse to build technology that powers genocide, apartheid, or surveillance.

Infrastructure for Multi-Agent Systems Pete Koomen Multi-agent systems are powerful but hard to build. Think agentic MapReduce with thousands of subagents running in parallel. We're looking for folks who've felt the pain of scaling these systems and want to make operating fleets of agents as easy as deploying a web service.

The trades can build anything... except the software they run on. That changes today. We've raised $9.2M to build Dalton Mills. Software has spent its whole history getting closer to the people who do the work. First, the system of record. Software you stored your business in. Then, the agentic era. Software that did the work for you. Now, the bespoke era. Agentic software you build yourself, without code. Each era closed the gap and this one closes it for good. Software can finally work around your business, instead of you bending your business to make it fit. You ran on software made for everyone… never for you. That's over. Welcome to Dalton Mills. Let the builders build!

I built dev tools at GitHub for 7 years before AI coding became the default. AI made code gen fast, but software still depends on the human mind knowing which details matter. AI only made that harder. That's why I built Nuanced, the AI coding app I want. Nuanced is a macOS app for building software with agents around a living spec, keeping intent and implementation connected as the agent builds. Try it:

Gavin Newsom’s new software tax goes way beyond corporate softwares, California Democrats are going to tax everything They expect to make over $2 billion per year from this new tax, “They now define pre-written software as everything from Microsoft Office, Gmail accounts, Android operating systems — it has a computer, it has pre-written software. California is now going to tax that. Wow” I put together a list to give you an idea of how far this goes • Microsoft Office / 365 subscriptions • Gmail / Google Workspace • Slack • Workday • QuickBooks / Intuit products • Adobe Creative Cloud / Acrobat • Android operating system licenses (in applicable contexts) • Cloud-based CRM/ERP systems • Accounting/financial software (SaaS versions) • Project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday. com) • Antivirus/security software (digital downloads/subscriptions) • Productivity suites (e.g., Zoom, Teams) • Database software (pre-written) • Graphic design/photo editing tools (cloud) • Operating system access/subscriptions (where pre-written) • Enterprise software platforms • HR/payroll SaaS tools • Marketing automation software • Collaboration/communication apps • Many mobile/desktop apps sold digitally So basically everything

Chamath broke down the $5T software market on TWiST: $4T of it goes to maintenance and services, not the software itself. A financial services client was paying $2M a year to an outside vendor for a process that kept falling behind. We rebuilt it as software with Software Factory and an 8090 engineer accountable for it and maintaining it, and the cost dropped by about $1.5M a year.

The ceo of Box says if you're not building for agents, you won't exist as a software company in 2-3 years. Aaron Levie recalled how in the 90s, it was mainframes built for institutions. If you didn't build for the CIO or IT org, you didn't exist. You could build software for users, but no one cared. Similarly, in the mid 2000s, it was software built for end users. If you didn't take that route, you got completely trounced. The likes of Yammer, Slack, Zoom, etc., ripped through enterprises with viral adoption. Bottom-up and completely user driven. And now it's software built for agents. We're going to have trillions of agent runs. The systems that optimize for agents the most will win. - lower latency - better API exposure - better system intelligence - serves the right information when called Agents will eventually choose their own tools on the fly and make purchasing decisions at runtime. All based on past experiences/online reviews/performance, sans any procurement process. The more pragmatic version is companies swapping out bad tools / tech that don't work well with agents. - crm doesn't expose the right APIs - auth can't handle agent scale requests - database has too much latency for agent workloads Being good enough for humans won't work because they have to pass the litmus test for agents to make the cut.

Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available. "We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully." "It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it." "Those days are just over." "If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it." "Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with Latent.Space

Software for small artists/djs sucks so I built custom tour mgmt software for my management. If you are a DJ/Artist or manager of small acts (comedians?) check out this video and reply if you want to use it! I'll get you setup. <3

What do you think about this?? Why hasn’t Candace Owens used the same software that she used to make up her mind and convince herself and many of her fans that Emmanuel Macron’s wife is a man. So, is this software as reliable as you touted?? If it is NOT as reliable then did you just make that episode to make money for no reason regardless of who it affected? If it IS reliable, would you stop questioning if Tyler was the one that got up on that roof and not a look-a-like? Just asking questions! Go ahead and try it for yourself with those two images. 😊 Receipts to follow.

Introducing Autobot 🤖 Software agencies still overcharge clients by the hour. AI has fundamentally changed how software gets built, but clients aren't seeing those savings. So we built Autobot, the first autonomous Replit ⠕ agency that reduce the cost of agency-built software by 90%. Describe what you want to build, answer a few questions, and about an hour later your first working version is ready, for free. Try it, share it and if you love it, you can keep it. If not, you don't pay anything. That's how custom software should be bought.

I built a manufacturing-aware CAD interpretation engine that uses LLMs to query any step model's geometric data, saving $10k/Yr on analysis software. This web-based CAD analysis tool is a workbench for developing bespoke DFM tools for manufacturing services.

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche
