    Philosophy and CS double major here, love reading old books. Read a lot of theology and ancient literature. Homeschooling my kids, part of the curriculum is learning Latin.

    Agree. I ~never see that stuff.

    I love the idea of using a shared event log for coordination. Smart! I have a Symphony-style[1] factory, which keeps all the context in a single session, but I want to start splitt…

    Really cool to see JSON Canvas getting attention. (Hi, kepano!) It was one of the inspirations for OCIF (Open Canvas Interchange Format), which we've been working on since JSON Can…

    strong agree. I always have the LLM put an actual markdown doc in a docs/plans/ folder before starting work. I often, but not always review it. Aside: it also helps for code review…

    Not a small amount :) I spend $140/mo on Anthropic + OpenAI subs and I use all my tokens all the time. I've started spending about $100/week on API credits, but I'd like to increas…

    I got my own level 8 factory working in the last few days and it’s been exhilarating. Mine is based on OpenAI’s Symphony[1], ported to TypeScript. Would be happy to swap war storie…

    I wonder if this is just a byproduct of factories being very early and very inefficient. Yegge and Huntley both acknowledge that their experiments in autonomous factories are extre…

    I’ve been building using a similar approach[1] and my intuition is that humans will be needed at some points in the factory line for specific tasks that require expertise/taste/qua…

    Wow. This is exactly my kitchen faucet. Which makes sense, because my house was built in 1961. Works great. Amazing how durable the faucet is!

    This! It’s both-and. Literacy has been undeniably good, but we rarely consider the consequences of widespread literacy. There’s a way of knowing something that can be recalled oral…

    Same. Was very excited about MCP but Claude code + CLI tools is so much nicer.

    Has anyone put together a comparison table for Desktop apps? I’ve started using conductor.build and it feels nice, but would happily evaluate others.

    Relay user here! It’s great. Quite reliable for an early product.

    curious: did you literally use the Local-first Landscape[1] to do the evaluation? (full disclosure: co-author of landscape) [1] https://localfirst.fm/landscape

    Just saw the talk on it at Local-first Conf. So many snyc engines these days. LiveStore is exploring an interesting space in the idea maze: marrying event sourcing with sync engine…
