In late September 2026 I posted a series of X (formerly Twitter) posts covering software factories, a dispute with Cognition, AI‑polished direct messages, infrastructure cost concerns, a literary Ghalib couplet, and an AI‑generated Kākāpō video.
Software factories aren’t even a settled category yet. The drama has already shipped.
Hey Matan - CEO of Cognition here. I respect the work you have done at Factory but your allegations here about Cognition are not true.
We have no interest in Factory’s info and Chris has never brought it up. He has not shared and would never share any information about you or Factory with our team, nor would we ever ask.
anyone feel this too? I work remote. I want to feel a human connection with my coworkers, and DMs are one of the little ways left now DMs arrive polished by AI and tuned to my personality.
My GitHub Actions bill is the dominant part of my entire infrastructure spending. Absurd.
First trip to @airandspace a few weeks ago also reminds of this Ghalib couplet on ambition. Hai kahaan tamanna ka doosra qadam, ya rab, Hum ne dasht-e-imkaan ko ek naqsh-e-paa paaya
I used Claude Opus 5.5 to create a pixel‑art animation celebrating the 2024 record‑breaking Kākāpō breeding season, embedding the video (https://t.co/0rPkQ8S9dn) in a presentation slide.
