Brian Douglas (@bizza.pizza), CEO for The Paper Compute Company, joins us at #AllThingsOpen to present "The Beginners Guide to Training Your Own AI Coding Model on Your Own Data"! 2026.allthingsopen.org/sessions/the...

I swapped Claude for open weights in my agent heist. Claude read the ROM to explain why the move would not work. Qwen walked over and tried the handle. Every seat but one runs on my GPU now. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

My OpenClaw was spending $80 a day to read my email. One config line brought it down to a few dollars. Wrote up where the money went and how observability made the fix obvious: briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

Claude code shared Fable is storing for sessions for 30 days because it’s useful for understand the safety of the model. My suggestion is you should save your sessions too. If you are not today, put it on paper. Here’s my AI Devcon talk on the subject lnkd.in/efQRKGTx

@andrewnez.bsky.social want to join us on a podcast to talk ecosystems?

I tried training a model instead of writing a skill and have some honest results. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

We out here London 📼📼📼 !!! @bizza.pizza

🎤 New episode of Open Source Ready with @bizza.pizza - we talked to @stormypeters.bsky.social about open source at Amazon, how the relationship between AI and open source is actively evolving, and the growing challenges that come with that. Check it out! www.heavybit.com/library/podc...

New company launched. papercompute.com/blog/introdu...

Raising kids in the bay is fun. Basically like a dog that speaks English eventually

I had 1,992 ESLint errors. Dispatched a sweeper agent to produce 5 parallel Claude Code sessions. Three rounds, 100% fix rate, 54 minutes. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

I used observational memory to train my Pokémon agent. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

Claude Code crashed an hour into a session. No recovery, no history. But I had tapes running. It stores every LLM interaction in a local SQLite db. Pointed Claude at it, recovered everything, and shipped the feature. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/03/04/claude-failed-mid-session-tapes-brought-it-back/

"Setting Up OpenClaw on exe.dev with Discord" #DEVCommunity dev.to/bdougieyo/se...

📼 Introducing tapes: transparent AI agentic telemetry. In every single AI session or workflow, there's an incredible amount of lost information on the "what", "why", and "how". www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATeU...

Save open source. Star my repo github.com/papercompute...

What does long term care for agents look like? Wrote about tapes, an open source project @johncodes.com and I have been working on these past 2 weeks. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

Is product management making a comeback? 🤔 We checked in with development experts Amit Eyal Govrin, @bizza.pizza, and Alex Kurilin to dig into why and what it means to be a good product manager or product engineer in the age of AI. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

"There is no secure ai enclave, Neo" I continue to bang the gong on how crazy it is we're shipping and integrating all these agentic systems with critical services with nearly zero guardrails. johncodes.com/archive/2026...

I made the joke that every Ralph needs a Super Nintendo and no one laughed, so I wrote post on it. briandouglas.me/posts/2026/0...

Wrote about the sheer amount of software that is going to be created: the software Cambrian explosion is upon us. Prepare accordingly. johncodes.com/archive/2026...

Back at 98 in performance thanks to this one trick. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/1...

This was a lot of fun interviewing @bizza.pizza! Thanks for letting me guest co-host @whiskey.fm! whiskey.fm/are-develope...

I think I made a code rabbit clone. youtu.be/vEoABlyfwq0?...

Learning with Jason today

Introducing Instinct 🐺, a new state-of-the-art open Next Edit model trained by @continue.dev Runnable with @ollamabot.bsky.social and available today in VS Code

I am not longer fighting with AI, I am just adding pre commit hooks now. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

I’m shipping code with AI like I am not the only user of my app. lol

Spent the weekend cleaning up my storybook stories. I am convinced AI sucks at UI and this is the only way to not get upset at its output. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

Still working through performance on the my site. Aiming to start showing up in google searches by the end of next month. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

Hate to be the first principles guy but it works with agents

AI is actually giving me confidence to tackle harder problems in my side projects that I'd normally put because they weren't that big of a deal. Enjoying 97 on lighthouse performance. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

My blog's comments are Bluesky replies, because I saw and like it on @ashley.dev's blog. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

While in Nigeria it was sad watching my site load so slow. I fix it with progressive image loading. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

I spent a lot of time trying to get my agent to stop writing bad and flaky UI tests. I figured it out and made it a rule. briandouglas.me/posts/2025/0...

Sharing my OSCA workshop. Had a lot of fun building this app and then had Opus generate the steps to rebuild using prompts. This is the future of workshop design. oss.fyi/osca-workshop.

Open source isn’t about novel code anymore. It’s about execution. @bizza.pizza shares how one OSS team turned community momentum into a sticky product and a standout fundraise. 🎧 Full episode in thread 🧵
