Both of your comments are illuminating :p So, we could technically debug a prompt's output? I get that there are too many steps to actually step thru, but what if there were checkp…

Well it's a transitional methodology during the early stages of a major shift in software engineering. Just look at what almost everyone is complaining about with AI coding, and th…

It's clear to me now that the lack of benchmarks for competence in this space means everyone thinks they're geniuses who don't need a better process, because apparently their workf…

I agree, I tend to give a high-level concept for what I want done first, and then break it into smaller tasks. That said, there's almost always a misunderstanding within the smalle…

Thanks, yeah I just went with the most controversial term as the catch-all which just means: you prompt an agent as your core workflow. For me as well, I do projects for clients th…

I'm making the case that we should make tools for the higher abstraction, not a lower one. You said it yourself: why should we read/write binary? We don't, we shouldn't. It might b…

I never said you have to turn your brain off to feel the limitations. Actually, for more complex work I think it's pretty common to spend a long time crafting some elaborate prompt…

The control room in Jurassic Park was honestly beautiful - and something about those shaving cream cans really crystallized the aesthetic for me, weirdly. I had no idea that it was…

Bringing model-driven development to coding agents with a desktop tool called Scryer: https://github.com/aklos/scryer It's still pretty experimental, but I think now that AI can fe…

This is all from the perspective of people who already oppose Farage, though. Supporters will zealously reframe everything as illegitimate attack. Soft skeptics will notice the est…

I lived in London for six years starting just before Brexit, so I watched this exact confidence up close. The British public "knowing" Farage is damaged is not new, it's not justif…

This doesn't make a fool of Farage though! It clarifies to anyone already skeptical of the establishment that when pushed, they'd rather not play than risk losing. This is literall…

I don't understand why the mainstream is celebrating the total collapse of any meaningful political opposition to populists. This kind of fluffed-up 2010's style optimism campaign …

RE: Tauri not having cross-compile... There's a GitHub action that compiles for Linux, Windows, and Mac. So practically it does have it, just not out of the box.

Just started watching Widow's Bay, which to me has a similar vibe, but a much better hook: folk horror as the plot driver. I can't watch Northern Exposure anymore. It's too alienat…

They're in every discussion even remotely related to anything Elon Musk. Everything Elon does is somehow stupid or evil. Actually, that reminds me of Thunderf00t YouTube streams wh…

I felt this way from a year ago up until February 2026. Claude Code and Codex becoming the norm cemented for me that a lot of the projects people are working on (including mine) ar…

I don't get it, you joined this thread to call me an idiot with a meme, and now you're talking about being a neutral arbiter for a technical discussion that I supposedly ruined. Mo…

Just give us a taste of what we'd be paying for? I'm sure you're an expert but before I commit to 2+ years of consultation I'd like to see your approach.
