Its not a zero day. I found this while zero day hunting. It is a surprise and I cannot reveal what it is 4 the sake of the memes.

I’m confused what you mean, I post on either subdomains of my own website for personal projects or blogs on my company website freestyle.sh. My twitter is @benswerd. What are you s…

I'll say this: as a very competent engineer I have gone weeks at a time without handwriting a single line of code in the past few months. It is where the industry is going.

With respect to CSS expertise, I don't need/want perfect CSS at my company, I want styling that is clear and workable. Tailwind and ShadCN gets me there, my most backend-y backend …

i agree, very pro that

I'm a big believer in guides. ShadCN provides great starting points for continued engineering as do other ShadCN libraries. For companies with the resources to, they do just start …

Just did this, found result fairly interesting, I reject most of its objections on the basis of bad code. When I say Im pro explicitness I'm also pro comment, and pro separating th…

This is a fair point. Im not opposed to the open function existing, but I do think its valuable to own the underlying implementation of thigns like it (maybe not open) in your code…

One strategy I like for this is a notes field on every single MCP route. Lets the AI optionally just decide to tell you things.

I think this is a misinterpretation. BaseUI provides baseline semantics that because the code is in your codebase you can choose to keep or remove. BaseUI is also actively unstyled…

gonna use it on my websites homepage

im not opposed to good defaults, i just believe they should be explicit. The AI should read the starting.md to fill in explicitly what its JVM configuration is. Then, when you want…

Conservatively speaking, LLMs degrade past 40% of a 2M context window, 4k tokens is 0.2%, so no degradation there. Thats also current generation conservative estimate. I think wast…

Think MUI, heroUI, traditional components have you install their package, import the component and configure it through arguments. ShadCN components have you copy the component cod…

Why not? The docs for git clone at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone are less than 4000 tokens, I don't think this is unreasonable.

MCP Auth is just Oauth, its designed for humans to authenticate their sessions for connections. TBH I know nothing about A2A. Agent Identity and Authz is a different problem, allow…

Generally, when using these components I ended up wanting to customize a lot. I switched around the options, coloring, the words in the loading, I mix and matched the components fr…

Without using agnost, what are some basic SQL queries I can run on my data to find outliers I'd otherwise be missing? How far can I get with just keywords, common phrases, boring t…

Been feeling this more recently, building got 10x easier but choose what to build kinda got harder.
