    Claude Code et al. asks clarifying questions in plan mode before implementing. This will eventually extend to jira comments

    Seems like the best competitor to Conductor at the moment. They did a great job.

    Take a look at https://conductor.build/ - they really pioneered this whole direction of using git worktrees. Cursor will soon look like their app, Opencode will soon look like thei…

    I migrated from ts-rest to Effect/HttpApi. It's an incredible ecosystem, and Effect/Schema has over taken my domain layer. Definitely a learning curve though.

    I believe Effect Schema fully supports Standard Schema, the issue is that it supports much more than Standard Schema, so not all schemas will work and thus provide compile time err…

    I think the main issue is they accidentally created an incredible consumer brand with ChatGPT. They should sell that asset to World.

    You should check out https://effect.website/ It might help you implement some of these ideas

    I agree, some of there examples are a little overly complicated by their quest to be hyper composable. In fact they should probably remove that example. I am currently using it wit…

    that is certainly a possibility

    I've had a very similar experience, and have been slowly moving from zod and ts-rest to @effect/schema and @effect/platform/HttpApi as well as migration to Effect Match from ts-pat…

    From my understanding trpc is very similar, however, the rpc mechanism is not a standard. ts-rest produces openapi schemas and speaks REST over http, as well as a typed client. Tha…

    zod is great, but I have been moving to @effect/schema and think it deserves a mention here. @effect/schema is the evolution of io-ts, which originally inspired zod. It supports de…

    I don't think the TikTok ban is an adjudication of the TikTok scrolling behavior or addictive feedback loop. It's an adjudication on the idea that a company that controls those tec…

    I just started playing with inertia and am pretty impressed. Was able to get it integrated with a rails project (which was already setup with vitejs) pretty easily. Then I can have…

    Why would YouTube risk the optics of manipulating likes for a few percentage points, sometimes, in Biden's favor? Is it possible there are other explanations?

    I agree, this feels like the direction the framework should go in the future

    I'd also like to +1 on Cadence/Temporal. It's a really great mental model and framework for thinking about workflows. This is more of a proof of concept but it can also support DSL…
