Hosts: Lenar Kess, Damra Vol. An Australian CTF top-tenner writes the obituary for the open competitive scene. Intercom and PFF both report doubling-and-then-some engineering throughput from agent-first workflows — using opposite playbooks. Supabase ships a skill after watching an agent silently bypass row-level security. A suitcase runs a 4B model fully offline at conversational latency. Julia Evans leaves Tailwind. And Claude keeps telling people to go to sleep. "The CTF scene is dead" — Kabir, former TheHackersCrew player, on agents and the open format Brian Scanlan (Intercom): doubling PR throughput, 17.6% auto-approved, SOC 2 compliant Mike Spitz (PFF): the post-engineer engineering org, two engineers shipping 25x more deploys than ten Pedro Rodrigues (Supabase): skills plus MCP, and the security-invoker flag agents skip without guidance Sparky — a fully offline suitcase robot on a Jetson Orin NX with Gemma 4 E4B Julia Evans: moving away from Tailwind and learning to structure CSS Fortune: Claude is telling users to go to sleep mid-session and Anthropic isn't sure why @yishan: an LLM hallucinates the Napster 2000 story to someone who was there @Kirsten3531: "LLMs can never be more than the average of their training data" — a 2024 take? Armin Ronacher: running an agent with bash as the only tool, using the patch binary to make edits
