Nothing teaches you like maintaining something for a decade
great game well done i could easily play this for far too long
i have a vague memory of hunter s thompson talking about sitting down and typing out the great gatsby to see how it would feel to write a great american novel
Yes I had a fun experience where it kept on timing out on a seemingly mundane task and it turned out I had written the ask in a way that was impossible to test
and i `brew update && brew upgrade --greedy` every morning with my first cup of coffee because i like to live on the edge like that thanks for all your work!
so i think the thing that everyone building these git alternatives is missing is a multi-repo story - unless the expectation is that everyone is going to start operating out of monorepos i've settled on all of this…
i feel fairly certain everyone has some set of activities or tasks they feel this way about my wife and i have two non-overlapping sets haha you can imagine how that plays out
https://pragprog.com/titles/lhelph/functional-web-developmen... don't let the title fool you - the first half of the book is just elixir over the past 8 years this is the book i've used to ramp back up on elixir and it…

yeah this is one of the few AI-related products that I have seen that make sense to me but i also wonder to what extent this needs to be its own thing or if this is just something that it looks like we need but really…
sounds very familiar to what I ended up doing on my internal system - especially anything to do with search - much better to just sync everything to a DB and give the agent access to the DB
it's straightforward to spin up a custom MCP wrapper around any API with whatever access controls you want the only time i reach for official MCP is when they offer features that are not available via API - and this…
don't see it in the comments yet so: https://www.brain.fm/
Yeah I’ve had a lot of success with agentic search against a database. The way I think of it, the main characteristic of agentic search is just that the agent can execute many types of adhoc queries It’s not about a…
the actual argument being made here: "Assign agents the biggest piece justifiable. I can summarize a product outcome or a feature in two lines. That’s what goes on the ticket. Let the agents figure out subtasks when the…
I've had the same thought recently and this definitely is a thing that you can do - but there are also cases where you get dramatically better results if you put some more effort into your setup. e.g. spend time…
What is SCP
Im sure that’s possible but my own working style is too chaotic for saving workspaces like that haha
yeah the CTRL+D definitely gives me problems from time to time but thus far i have been too lazy to fix it
"Software people are not alone in facing complexity. Physics deals with terribly complex objects even at the "fundamental" particle level. The physicist labors on, however, in a firm faith that there are unifying…
here is my entire config hs.hotkey.bind({"ctrl"}, "D", function() hs.grid.show() end) i've tried all of the other fancy window managers and for me nothing has ever beat the ease of use of just (1) ctrl-d to see the…
The closest thing I have found that fits right now is just Linear or [insert your own project management tool with a good api here] and then you manage agents in many of the same ways we’ve been managing human engineers…
My bet is that the last item is what we’ll end up leaning heavily on - feels like the path of least resistance Throw in some simulated user interactions in a staging environment with a bunch of agents acting like…
as much as you or i may be against it, inevitably AI coding will move away from human review and toward more automated means measuring program correctness this was already happening even before AI - human review is…
The sci fi version of the alignment problem is about AI agents having their own motives The real world alignment problem is humans using AI to do bad stuff The latter problem is very real
