About

Masthead · The desk

Agentic Firehose is how an engineer gets proficient at architecture judgment plus AI orchestration: wrap models into real systems, including old ones. Not autocomplete. Catch up is the four-skill spine. Starting a project is the Monday order, including wrap into the old app.

01Layer AI into a 40-year platform. Classify / score / anomaly — the old system of record still runs the company. The wrap is the product.
Catch up 01 + new /project 07. Make an AI thing that actually works. Then wire it into the existing app. Skip 07 only if this is greenfield.
02Architecture + full-stack ownership. Tradeoffs, tests, security, and the spec. You steer the tools instead of vibe-coding the wrong stack.
Catch up 02 and 04. Software engineering fundamentals. Shaping the build — decide what is in the spec.
03Beyond AI assistance. Not autocomplete. Not a copilot overlay. An agent with hands, a ticket, and a repo this week.
Catch up 03, Claude, /project 01. Using coding agents. Home-stack cookbooks. Pick a coding agent and close a real ticket.
04Multi-agent pipelines. Loops, graphs, harnesses. Work that must survive a crash, and more than one pair of hands.
Catch up 01 harness/graphs, /project 03–04. Give it hands, then bound them. Graph only if the work must resume.

Independence

The name is a domain, not a product of Anthropic. This site is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any other lab.

Readers

Forward-deployed engineers. Software engineers. Anyone filing work against Ng’s four-skill map — wrap, eval, ground, ship.

Cut

Train models, VPCs. Sheets canvas, chip keynotes, AGI timelines, training runs, and networking desks stay off this board.

How the desk works

Live items are fetched on the server from public RSS, the GitHub API, and the X desk file the site bot writes on a weekday schedule. Cached about 20 minutes.
Editorial items are a curated file in this repo — splash ranking and systems classics. They fill gaps. Live X is the desk dump, not placeholder tweets.
Tags on each headline are the six sub-skills from Ng’s “Building and deploying AI applications” letter (The Batch, 21 Aug 2026). Click a tag to narrow the board. The four-skill map is the Catch up spine.
The live filter prefers RAG/grounding, evals-as-acceptance, harness/MCP, coding agents, and shipping the app (cost, latency, cloud). Labs is cookbooks for building AI apps: context, harness, graphs, cloud — not a model-drop ticker and not a networking desk. Repos are clone-to-ship. Architecture notes, pretrain launches, VPC walkthroughs, and high-star “agent platform” cards stay off.
There is no signup and no paywall on this cut. The board is the site. Starting a project is not Catch up: it is eight steps and a URL, not a course catalog.

Threads mix live posts from these accounts (originals, not replies or retweets). ClaudeComputingBot writes them to src/content/x-desk.json on a weekday schedule. Bookmark-sourced cards come only from the X folder AI Posts (2093550752241164315), not the full bookmarks archive. RSS desks still run live. No Exa, Firecrawl, or X API key.
