I'd love to know if people are using CEL, and what for. Any war stories to share?

LA Metro: Ambient turns the Los Angeles rail network into a generative music instrument. Every note you hear is a real train arriving at a real station right now. Each of the six r…

I haven’t dropped an agent into production yet. This is all internal / PoC work. Claude / your favourite LLM coding agent can help you design this and will be good at helping you u…

I’m dealing with invoices and customers and timesheets and tickets. I didn’t want to give an agent SQL access to the database for performance and security reasons, and we don’t hav…

Fast is probably going to get in the way of Good, but here are some things to think about. 1. In many businesses, different users of the agent should have different read/write perm…

Nice! Claude and I made something for my use called 'azdo' that's the 'gh' CLI but for Azure DevOps. I figured agents know how to use gh, so give them what they know. I haven't yet…

I like it a lot. AND it has MCP server so I can point my agent at it to search and research. Very impressive.

Being able to mange context over long running sessions is a function of the harness, not the model. Are you using Claude Code with GPT5.5? Codex? piclaw? They’ll all have different…

This repo's README explains how it works and you can do it yourself. claude looks for environment variables that say which API endpoint to talk to, which key to pass, which model n…

Forgot to add: I get several benefits from doing this. 1. Specifications that live outside the code. We have a lot of code for which "what should this do?" is a subjective answer, …

Nice! Your spec-maxxing is very resonant. I've been doing working with explicit requirements: elicit them from conversation with me or introspecting another piece of software; one-…

I'm not trying to convert you, just want to share process tips that I see working for me and others. We're using agents, not a chat, because they can do complex work in pursuit of …

(Hi, Tom!) Reread the article and look for “CPU”. The whole article is about doing deep learning on CPUs not GPUs. Moonshine, the open source project and startup he talks about, sh…

What have you done to make Claude stronger on brownfields work? This is very interesting to me.

I hate its acknowledgement of its personality prompt. Try having a series of back and forth and each response is like “got it, keeping it short and professional. Yes, there are onl…

Calendar was brilliant. I think it was the first time I fully appreciated the misery of the human mind in the face of various orbit periods that aren't simple integer ratios of one…

Thank you! Worth reading, if only for the phrase “global taint ruler”.

Are you two talking at cross-purposes because you don't have a shared understanding of control and data flow? The pieces here are: * Claude Code, a Node (Javascript) application th…
