    It's less the tmux config and more the scripting around it. (shameless plug: I launch agents in tmux directly into docker containers with remuda, a tool I built at work & open sour…

    Comment #49202939

    Over the last year I ended up duct taping a lot of functionality onto tmux to get what these new age multiplexers set out to do (session launch, live agent status, etc). And it wor…

    In a lot of cases there is, but you have to be aggressive about allowlisting commands. It can also be difficult to predict when being able to do a read-only command goes from safe …

    For me the problems with agent permission prompts are twofold: 1) I generally have a lot of things where I am okay with the agent calling a specific tool (maybe in certain ways) as…

    No, but if I got paid overtime I'd absolutely do it (or something more reasonable like 50-60 hrs/week)

    It sounds too much like "parasite" for me to be comfortable using it. I'm assuming some random person made it up. It's okay to just say "people of/from ", guys.

    At least where I'm at, you can still go cheaper for pizza and burgers. In-N-Out's combo meals start at about $8. If I want to, I can also get 2 big slices of serviceable pizza for …

    It's cool that they're doing this but with iterators and soon in 1.27 generic method parameters, you can already DIY most of this with little effort. I've got iterators at work for…

    I have been seeing people use it more who I am fairly confident are not otherwise using AI to write public-facing communications. It's almost like there's a minor movement to try a…

    There's definitely a lot of AI-generated websites, especially for dev tools & SaaS, that love to have dark backgrounds, cool colors (purple especially is making a resurgence it see…

    I don't understand the challenges involved super well but I feel like this might be better as a piece of actual code (like a linter) that you can run to have an LLM iteratively de-…

    Maybe this is naive or startup-brained of me: I understand not wanting HR-related things to be potentially exposed by a misaligned agent, but when it comes purely to the building o…

    I haven't tried fable in this role yet but overall I've found most models to have a preferred way of doing orchestration tasks and in general do not consistently follow instruction…

    I'm guilty of this too, but at least my speech tics are mostly a unique blend to me, and they also tend to change seasonally. Meanwhile the emdashpocalypse has been going on for ye…

    DMS is a pretty good gateway drug out of major DEs and into WMs like Niri. I had already started using Niri but the base DMS configuration has a lot more batteries included so I sw…

    That's definitely valid, for b2c applications though a lot of the time you will never deal with numbers of that magnitude.

    All of the data we control (in the database, in our apis, etc) is integer cents. When we have to interface with a system that represents money using JSON numbers as dollars.cents, …

    Maybe I'm just not aware enough to notice any quality degradation, but I've been using Claude Code in repos that only have AGENTS.md and it just generally seems to know to read it …

    I have one and it's such a fantastic design. When I need to travel I just throw a tiny puck in my bag and it charges off the same brick that charges everything else I bring.

    I spent a few months doing some coarse time tracking at work - basically I'd retroactively add and edit events on my calendar to reflect what I had actually done during the workday…

    Show HN: Remuda, a CLI Agent Orchestrator

    Hi HN, I recently open sourced a small tool (Remuda) that I built at work to remove some of the friction of launching and managing agents and figured HN might be interested. I also…

    I'm a little skeptical of claims like this that involve migrating things like libraries, etc. I've done big refactors like this multiple times (albeit, in an "only" 500k-1m LOC cod…

    Mostly I was not an "I have a script for that" guy before AI, except for the occasional VERY simple or VERY high ROI thing. Now I've got more oddball scripts that do things I could…

    Not an "oh shit" per se, but Gemini is a complete leap in terms of actual smarts over Google Assistant. I was having problems getting it to parse my speech correctly when I was ask…

    For straightforward coding tasks I use gpt-5.3-codex on high or xhigh. Sometimes I try 5.5 but overall 5.3-codex is more than capable enough for most of my needs and quite a bit ch…
