Everyone wants to do Code Mode agents
No one is truly embracing Code Mode
So I made a new agent with Code Mode as the foundation
Meet OC++ (a fork of @opencode)

powersync continues to be the most sensible sync solution and it's not close
let’s talk about sync
ever since watching theo’s videos about t3 chat local sync, I wanted it for smry.ai
but as I worked on it, I realized it’s not a good-to-have, it’s a must-have for a reading assistant, as your reading history needs to load instantly.
also users want to own their data, which they do if it’s cached on their own browser
i evaluated every provider: zero/electric/etc, even built my own shitty one!
but nothing was as good as powersync, which is super cheap, scales like crazy, has a drizzle integration, and has a team with actual support (also everyone else in the space seems to die/get bought)
powersync was the best solution for sync, but really the team was the best part
i’m able to work much faster now that I’m not worried about hand-rolled sync breaking with every change, and with all code written by agents it’s good to have a tool that has the things they need to succeed

I always come back to this writeup from @Rich_Harris. It's been the oracle of most JS framework compiler work the past decade. This is why others failed where Svelte succeeded.
AI suggests we rethink this. We want restriction, not extension.

update: more than 20 issues were found through this migration and fixed.
@openclaw was able to migrate to Solid within 2 weeks. now it can be done even faster!
what are you waiting for? don't you want a faster and better experience for your users?

I am here once again to say “put up or shut up”
One million to open source this year, as we continue to give back to the ecosystem via the pledge.
More than half has gone directly to your favorite open source developers.

best part about migrations like this, they help us catch and fix a bunch of issues
pointed opus to openclaw's solid migration PRs and it already found atleast 7 issues that can be fixed in the framework and documentation to make this sort of work even smoother.
Two weeks ago I kicked off a loop to move OpenClaw's Lit-based Web frontend to Solid 2.0.
Took ~6 days until we could remove Lit, and another week to move patterns to idiomatic Solid.
I checked in with the session every other day, overall the process was mostly automatic. Took about ~600 PRs.
Result: Smaller JS and CSS footprint and much more fine-grained update control. Everything feeling more snappy and responsive. team.openclaw.ai/chat/robocl…
“Would I still choose Solid for this UI?
Yes—because of architectural fit and predictable update scope.”
I love this new world where you don’t need to know why Solid is better for your app, your agents already know and can help you make that choice

Turns out good abstractions are beneficial for agents
You are doing your agents a disservice by not giving them the best tools available today

Openbot is 100% written in @solid_js 2
thank you @RyanCarniato for saving me billions of tokens on broken useEffect
the fact that big ai labs called it a "distillation attack" has caused so much confusion among people
DISTILLATION IS NOT A FORM OF "ATTACK"
distillation is an ML technique used to transfer knowledge from a larger model into a smaller model
the only reason labs suffix it with "attack" is because of some misguided idea that no one should use data from their models (that people pay for) to train their own models. it has literally nothing to do with cybersecurity and everything to do with labs playing dirty tricks to keep their competitive edge just a little bit longer
distillation is not something you do to hack into someone's servers.
> Distillation attacks from godless commies provides a bit of sympathy
no it doesn't, why do people keep saying that
