Congrats mate - Great to see this and loved working with you all on a very very very tiny part of this! Looking forward to a lot more awesome releases and features!

This. I found superpowers a huge token guzzler. And more generic a skill is the worse it seemed to perform. I have found that skills are something you need to build yourself and fo…

This is what i thought/hoped. But man it is surprisingly buggy. Connections drop so fast and flakily. So many times I steppedd out of the house in a rush hoping remote control woul…

This is fantastic. Ive been so fortunate to work with the mcp folks last few months on a couple of the SEPs (and my own experimental sdk in go). I used to be a naysayer. "Its just …

Im working on a batteries included and (aiming to be) production deployment ready go sdk for all things MCP: https://github.com/panyam/mcpkit

Not to mention inflation. Whats not clear is whether UBI is cash or does it include access to "basic" facilities like health, education and housing?

I've actually been doing this for a year. I call it /checkpoint instead and it does some thing like: * update our architecture.md and other key md files in folders affected by upda…

Wait till you hit your 1000th. And its not just "assisted" but lock stock and barelled!

Clint thanks heaps for this. Really good to see a lot of old school CS/Graph theory applied in a nice way. On an unrelated note - I did notice you were also a lawyer - So umm how w…

Dang this was my reaction too! I thought a large part of it was open source (i remember the old anaconda days). TIL I guess!

I am really flabbergasted. How are they thinking using React for a TUI is a flex? Having 5 sessions open - and all idea - is taking up 98% of CPU. Is this another case of - "When a…

Im confused. Are you asking how to make money or how to spend your time if money was not a concern? Answering the second question - I can find 48hours worth of things to do in a 24…

I mean duh? At the very least wouldnt one just show upt to their job for the "non work related" activities? Or work becomes your "passive income"?

Did they? I can get a 70" "smart"-tv for a few hundred bucks with a crap load of bloatware. But I cannot get the same TV that is "dumb" at anywhere near that price point (I just wa…

Oh man so many things. I wrote a bunch of cool things a few years ago (and recently too) but have been scared to publish - mainly because even though ive used them in production, I…

There are different degrees of "ai wrote all my code". A very crappy way of doing it is to keep on one shotting it expecting it to "fall on the right solution" - very much infinite…

I really don't understand the fetishisizing of the demise of software engineers. Are other knowledge workers like doctors or lawyers going to be exterminated by AI? Or is there eve…

Frankly I really don't know what id don't not in tech. Closest I van think of is some kind of mathematician but don't even know what those "jobs" look like. Academia might be anoth…

This. Companies are chomping at the bits about developer productivity and how they can do 10x more. What is not clear even if they can fire 90% of their engineers (assuming the 10x…

Author here. For those wondering - Claude Code was used but not in the "generate me this huge X with a single shot prompt after 8 hours of thinking" mode :).

I've been building services where the API layer and database layer inevitably drift apart. Different field names, timestamps as int64 vs time.Time, nested messages becoming JSONB c…

I used to play WeeWar (browser-based hex strategy game, RIP 2015) way too much, and wanted a way to extract map data from screenshots. So I built a little tool that extracts tile d…

Hot damn. Id love to hear the origin story of this.

One thing I still struggle to this day is the float/long conversion from json proto. It somehow works and I still untangle the feeling of magic.

+1 Couple of things I really hate about proto - No generics/templates. No composition of services or mixins (you do have composition in messages but that feels very limited). Also …
