I think you’ve missed the point of clean code if this is your gripe with it. Every time you over scope a function signature, because you want to handle that other case, you add men…

> The actual problems in the code I work with are not the spaces at the end of line or imports in non-alphabetic order, it's the 10-line list comprehensions that are so long that t…

If you can lock down a test suite that ensures parity, then who cares what shape the lift ultimately looks like. A full rewrite in different language that fails to be idiomatic is …

Golf courses don’t have backup generators running 24/7, with humming you can hear from a meaningful distance away. They also don’t pollute the air. This is a poor comparison, but I…

Yes, same, between the two of them I feel like results are just better because they have different priorities. At the same time, I’ve invested in tooling that prints and lints arch…

You can get really far with the 20x Claude Code and Codex plans. They are many orders of magnitude cheaper than api calls.

Is anyone else troublingly addicted to your code agents? I’m constantly thinking about work because work is “just wrapping up” always now. I go to see one thing is done, outside of…

I guess what I’m saying is that there is no “primary” goal, but rather a mix of things to consider, where it working at all as expected is just table stakes.

Good architecture is not about the patterns you pick. It’s about having a team dev cohesively on any pattern(s) - programmatically enforce your style with in-house linters and scaf…

Build CLIs your agents call, that scaffold what you want, and lint so it actually does achieves your intended design. Markdown files are a good reference but they are a weak enforc…

There’s too much in this article to comment on it all, but if we zoom into the first claim: > An increase in the complexity of the surrounding systems to mitigate the increased amb…

I guess this is the case for new installs, but for existing dependencies can’t you simply pin them to a patch release, and point at the sha?

Has anyone used this for debugging? Like an error in datadog triggers an agent sandbox and branched database?

I watched the demo video on the git butler home page and agree with the premises that: 1. git is not going away 2. git UX is not great So i appreciate their effort to manage develo…

> Tests created a similar false comfort. Having 500+ tests felt reassuring, and AI made it easy to generate more. But neither humans nor AI are creative enough to foresee every edg…

Yes. This seemed to be more cost effective.

This. I have effectively used multiple agents to do large refactors. I have not used them for greenfield development. How are folks leveraging the agentic swarm, and how are you ma…

I was a Cursor loyal until I was spending around $2k a week with premium models and my team had a discussion about whether we’d want to use more Cursor over hire another engineer. …

I believe people when they say they’re running 10 coding agents concurrently. I also believe them that their local setup loaded with the “best skills out there” makes their product…
