Personal Context: For our personal ClockStack[0] project, I have decided that I will NOT read code at all. Though at high level, I do decide the architecture, dependency libraries etc. Sometimes even telling database schema. That's it. No code reading. Even ask AI how you implemented is enough. And going for prod/live just by chatting with AI is totally fun. Background: I wanted to do this ~5 years back and read almost 500 pages of H.264/RTMP spec/documentation. Even got valid non-compressing video encoding working in Golang. Then priorities changed. Now with the power of AI: Live within a week. I will absolutely call it vibe coding. It is totally fun.

Just as I was getting comfortable with 10+ days of uptime, we get a neighbourhood internet downtime! It it’s back up. It was a good test of auto resume capabilities I built into my custom streaming application.
Time to build the failover!

Speaking of clocks, recently we have started streaming live clocks on Youtube. There could be 100s of way of showing beautifull clocks on screen. This one is mine. Coding for fun! A bandwidth hog to be honest. ;)

I am in the process of setting up a demo local-hosted-model using either vLLM or SGLang for my not-in-software-business enterprise. What harness would you recommend? I mean what are the top 5 open source ones. Trying to avoid unsustainable ( from the business model of agent developers ) harness. Personally I have used only OpenCode / Codex / ClaudeCode / Antigravity.

Happy to hear India got mentioned by the same executive during that conversation. We are just started buying from them. I went to Semicon India 2026, held in delhi last week. The energy was amazing. Really pleasant. all big names including ASML.

Same here. We are at a stage where we are evaluating cost/benefit for my enterprise. I am heavily pushing for in house hardware with open models.

You might be surprised how many organisations/ teams now don’t even review pull requests. Claude does coding, Codex do code review, and if developer did 5 round of this before pull request, we could very well just let CI merge.

Yea, I have started using c++ for some of the stuffs previously used python for. When agents is doing the grunt work, better to go even closer to machine.

At this point, I haven't even read around 30% of the code base in my open source project. I know our works by my manual testing. AI keeps writing tests for itself, even though I don't explicity ask for it, and I am not complaining.

A simple framing for reference.
Electrical Grid Frequency:
50 Hz = 3000 RPM.
60 Hz = 3600 RPM.
So, for Gaming Monitors 144 Hz = 8640 Hz.

Maybe this is one of those topics to let an army of agents get loose.
Nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
