    This is the one I used https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill - in the scenarios where I have used it, I have found it useful

    I came across the socratic method recently, and have used it to learn a couple of topics that I was having trouble getting to stick. There are some SKILL.md's available for it. It …

    It was with the transience of valuable agent session dialogue in mind that I built https://www.agentkanban.io - A key feature is context capture in the tasks which you create on th…

    Exactly. As soon as business works out that there are open models that can achieve parity at a fraction of the cost, they will switch model. They have to. Business exists to make m…

    Which is why these companies must be overvalued. This is the definition of a commodity. We have no loyalty to any vendor or model, it's just about capability, price and performance…

    I think because without the initial prompt, they are only interpreting our will, and do not act under their own volition.

    I think fragility is the key reason i intervene in llm code too. Good article.

    'roll down hill' is a good way of putting it. They don't have 'will', but that's as we want it I think. I think alignment is harder if they develop will. Without will they are stil…

    Agreed.And a rewrite in another language creates a high probability of a change in behaviour

    I have an freemium VS code extension that is converting well (we have 1 perpetual licence sale for every 10 VS Code market place downloads). But I'm having difficulty raising aware…

    I feel like it depends on the task, and that's why people seem to disagree on this. Think about a manager managing 5 devs. If he is working on planning and managing work for his de…

    I don't think we're going to convince anyone to replace git on speed alone. I don't spend that much time waiting for git operations, even on really big repositories.

    I worked on this problem with https://www.agentkanban.io - this is a human in the loop integration for VS code that stores the context in the kanban task so it lives with the task …

    Think the issue is that it was supposed to be a 'world wide web', but increasingly there's caveats to that.

    Same. I haven't been able to see how people let agent loops run without significant steering and produce good quality software. VS Code with one or two integrated terminals running…

    It's honest - people who know what they are looking at will take speed and token costs into account. I don't use Gemini 3.5 for coding, but I use it as something in between a searc…

    Git has worktrees, which provide a means of creating branch linked physical working directories. I built in UI assistance for creating worktress associated with the agent session i…

    It's made me wonder the same, but most LLM generated codebases haven't been around long enough to judge maintainability. I have noticed issues in some of my more LLM heavy code whe…
