    I was the kind of shell guru whose teeth itched when they saw someone doing `grep | awk`. Then I had to try and bring Windows into a Mac+Linux CI system under Jenkins groovy files …

    Careful - you start from the POSIX terminal spec, you think maybe it would be interesting having objects instead of raw text streams, and next thing you've reinvented powershell...…

    It doesn't sound like you were trying to launch a product, but doing an experiment and someone threw you under the HN-spotlight-bus :) Is this a "see what I can achieve with LLM co…

    On the summer solstice, with the bulb going on shortly after sunrise and burning out just before it started to get dark? :)

    Using mosh to do the same (which is helpful if you're on a laptop and you want to survive lid closes or ip roaming)

    I suspect the next real advance will be the LLM equivalent of thin-client/fat-server evolution, a sort of "local lora" system that forms the unique part of your own agent(s) distin…

    I do have an entirely AI written project, and I don't think I've reviewed even 1% of the code the bots have generated; it's been my pure vibe project. It's about what you'd expect,…

    Gross ignorance and incompetence. TLDR: I don't understand my native command line, see how lost I got when I tried to do my thing in a different environment. - Not a unique problem…
