This is incredible. I wonder when an LLM will pull this knowledge out to help someone down the line who would never have had the craft to pull this off, as it requires so much depth and broad skill. Admirable.

Would this yield exactly the same behavior when thinking about sub-agents and all this functionality?

When building, did you not have the thought or feeling that you would prefer the actual Claude Code and Codex harness to run, rather than just the SDKs also for your Agents?

Enjoyed reading it

This is such a well-written read, just so insightful and broad in its knowledge. I learned a lot, thank you (loved NT at that time - now I know why).

This rant is utterly factless and at an absolute novice level. It is correct that building a passkey-first system (without fallbacks) is not possible today, but that's like going all in on Google Social login and then ranting about why not all users can access the system.

Exactly, the average consumer is the most vulnerable in this landscape. Passkeys, in particular, seem like a promising solution to simplify authentication and protect average consumers. With better integration across platforms, could passkeys be the bridge that balances security and convenience for the 'average consumer' without requiring them to be privacy or tech experts? Most of them share much more valuable information in the cloud already (from privacy perspective)…

You're right about the growing friction between security and user experience, especially with the increasing sophistication of threats. However, if we don’t move towards more seamless & secure authentication methods, won’t we risk stagnating in terms of security? The average consumer is at risk, the privacy-savvy user can avoid that easily, the question is how do we help the "average consumer"?

It could be combined, there are solutions to that.

I guess from a tech perspective, we can now create solid connections between clouds and consumer accounts without the need for social logins (device/cloud -> websites). We will be flying to Mars and have self-driving cars, yet we still have to juggle passwords and password managers.

I think passkeys will bring us automatic authentication, where you can establish an automatic login with consent across all operating systems. The operating system would silently log you in the background. Do you think this could lead to privacy discussions, even if it adds security?
