    Picking a fight with the European labor unions was not a smart move in hindsight. Backing AfD in Germany and calling them Germany's "best hope for the future" likely rubs the rest …

    +1 for generating plans and then clearing context. I typically have a skill and an agent. I use the skill to generate an initial plan for an atomic unit of work, clear context and …

    Research [1][2] shows that 70-85% of developer code search value comes from keyword-based queries. Developers usually search with exact terms they already know (function names, API…

    Got around to sorting the 404. Releases now work. https://gitlab.com/rhobimd-oss/shebe/-/releases/v0.5.6-rc2

    The split globally was ~54% hybrid/electric and ~46% gas. And author wonders why Porsche doesn't want to give up 46% of their Macan customer base? Or to be charitable, author wants…

    I see what's happening. I never validated those build artifacts... Thanks for the catch. Will rebuild notify you here.

    Will fix the links. Meanwhile here is the releases page. I develop on gitlab and mirror to github. Need to make that clear as well. https://gitlab.com/rhobimd-oss/shebe/-/releases

    BM25 has been sufficient for my needs. I typically need to refer to codebases of existing tools as referential sources (istio, envoy, oauth2-proxy, tantivy index etc) so I just clo…

    Turned this into a science experiment and designed a test/workflow to rename the symbol MatrixXd -> MatrixPd in eigen and the results are promising at first glance. See https://git…

    shebe asks the simple question: "where does this symbol appear as text?". For C++ codebases that heavily use templates and macros, shebe will struggle. But I'm curious how it would…

    Comment #46413669

    When using AI coding assistants to refactor symbols across large codebases (6k+ files), developers face a binary choice: precision (LSP-based tools) or efficiency (grep/ripgrep). S…

    Agentic refactoring was such a chore I ended up building this for my refactoring workflows. https://gitlab.com/rhobimd-oss/shebe/-/blob/main/docs/guides... https://gitlab.com/rhobi…

    Also communal RFCs, RFPs, Roadmapping, Architecture/Design Proposals, Design Docs and/or Reviews help socialize/diffuse org standards and expectations. I found these help ground th…

    This was still practice at $BIG_FINANCE in the couple of years just before covid, although by that point such team reviews were reducing in importance and prominence.

    Hahaha OP could be in deep trouble depending on what types of creds/data they had in that container. I had replied to a child comment but I figure best to reply to OP. From the roo…

    Another example is they would enumerate your directories and find the names of common scripts and then overwrite your script. Or to be even sneakier, they can append their maliciou…

    My understanding is this: A skill is made up of SKILL.md which is what tells claude how and when to use this skill. I'm a bit of a control freak so I'll usually explicitly direct c…

    Nice. As a heavy claudecode user, I've ran into a certain form of this problem. My problem was: for refactoring/renaming workflows Claude seems to run grep/ripgrep to enumerate occ…

    I degoogled a long time ago but I can appreciate this move. I see solutions to particular nits I had IRL e.g. the lack of semantic search in googlemaps. This is the ability to perf…
