    That's a fair point. I knew I was going to popped for the comment about it being an infinite space, haha, because it definitely isn't but domain names don't necessarily have the ph…

    Domain names are a mess in my opinion. Even though we have over a thousand TLDs only a very small handful are considered for commerce or even thought to be valid. I have a domain n…

    Not enmeshed in game development and have only done it very lightly: what takes a game like this 1.5 - 2 years to finish? Like at a minimum, it's art, sound, graphics, and programm…

    Hmm. That's an interesting idea. I have never distinguished between playwright and chrome MCP, I generally just tell it "use a browser MCP" but I do have different ones installed o…

    Nope, it's done it tons of times before without problem. I will tell it almost verbatim "use [email] / [password] as credentials and log in to test your changes" and this is being …

    Today I told Sonnet (!) to use a browser MCP to enter a username and password for the project it is working on, it told me that it can't do that because it violates its security pr…

    Not sure the panic. I get that it doesn't seem great to target China-based users but makes perfect sense when you consider why Fable was taken down from public access. I doubt Anth…

    It's true. I think most people would be horrified about how I run. I just have a hook that blocks obviously unsafe commands (removals, reading secrets, etc) but other than that, th…

    Super dumb question as someone who has been using some form of AI for dev since 2023: How does having an AI audit external code help? Can they not be prompt injected to ignore a ma…

    An interesting experiment could be re-wording some of these and seeing how different the rankings are. So have an alternate card titled "Promoting your country" rather than "Propag…

    Neat idea. I am more curious about your AI workflow as I stay away from other's tools because I don't trust vibe-code related tools. What is the workflow difference between `fragme…

    Ah ok! Thanks for digging up info that I didn't go looking for myself. That's fantastic news.

    The problem I feel with federated solutions is basically the 'cold start' problem. When you are wanting to join a federated network, you have two choices: join a pre-existing serve…

    Hooks are meant to be 'deterministic' because they are only used for executing scripts on a specific step. So, for instance, you can execute your lint on PostEdit so every time it …

    At least it isn't Bitbucket. I think Atlassian and Microsoft are genuinely in a competition to see who can make worse software and still have customers.

    I disagree. Microsoft had been doing just fine at making completely awful and broken products before AI coding was a thing.
