Theo reverses: agents saved his outage day

Two days after saying his vibe coded pieces collapsed and engineers are still very necessary, Theo says he would not have survived yesterday without agents triaging outages and rolling API keys.

The big disagreement

Theo: if you say AI cannot write good code, you cannot write good code

Theo posted that every time someone says "ai can't write good code", he knows they cannot write good code themselves. Hours earlier he said caring a lot about harnesses right now feels similar to caring about tabs versus spaces. Neither post offers a codebase or a test behind it.

Theo reverses: agents triaged his outages and rolled dozens of API keys

Theo now says he would never have survived the day without agents, quote-posting his own post from earlier in the week about vibe coded pieces collapsing. He says they caught problems, triaged all the outages and security issues, and rolled dozens of API keys across various platforms. He gives no detail on which agents or what the outages were.

Fireworks claims DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 1,521 tok/s, 7x Opus 5.5

Fireworks says DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 runs at 1,521+ tok/s on its Ultrafast service, which it calls 7x faster than Claude Opus 5.5, fast enough to ship Tetris in 11 seconds. DHH's response: he remembers when 200tps felt impossibly fast. The number is the vendor's own, on a waitlisted product, with no independent run behind it.
