Today’s notable news and observations:
- OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.0. (Discussion on Hacker News)
- TypeScript 7.0 Beta was released.
- Fascinated by DHH’s practice on Kimi K2.5 Turbo. Since Kimi K2.6 is here, and looks promising, I’d love to give it a try in the coming days.
I got up early this morning. After making a cup of coffee, I had two to three hours before work. I spun up my coding agents and completed a first version of Chore.
It’s a simple task runner for repetitive daily chores. I found myself regularly updating all the software and packages on my computers. On my work laptop, I also have to run two authentication commands every day due to my company’s security policy. I used to handle these with shell scripts, but I wanted a dedicated tool.
Thanks to agentic coding, I managed to develop and release a usable version in less than three hours. The CLI is simple, but there used to be a lot of friction just getting started.
It’s a very early version, but I’ve already adopted it and written a configuration file for my daily chores. I even built a Homebrew tap for it. Once I polish it more, I’ll write a detailed introduction.
