This is why I never use max effort! I’ll stick with my suspenders, thank you.

"We need the source code." No, you want the source code. You want software someone else put their time, effort, and judgement into to be available for you to do whatever you'd like…

I've been deep in the IntelliJ plugin rabbit hole. My primary project is Mermaid Studio, an IDE grade Mermaid diagram authoring experience for both humans and agents built for JetB…

Too many to count. Most recently, an Alfred workflow for opening my IntelliJ projects either in an an IDE or terminal that also comes with an integrated build task runner, so I can…

You're the first person I've seen call out 10 as going downhill. What were your complaints about 10? I migrated to macOS for development years ago and going back to Windows for dev…

This is one of the issues I’ve attempted to tackle with the Mermaid Studio plugin for IntelliJ. It provides both syntax guides and syntax/semantic analysis as MCP Tools, so you can…

This has been my exact experience with agents using gradle and it’s beyond frustrating to watch. I’ve been meaning to set up my own low-noise wrapper script. This post just inspire…

Yeah, AI generated diagrams can be pretty hit or miss. The lack of good quality examples in training data and minimal documentation for these tools can make it difficult for models…

It’s all available in their GitHub repo.

One major downside of native rendering is the lack of layout consistency if you’re editing natively and then sharing anywhere else where the diagram will be rendered by mermaid.js.…

You'll get no argument from me on that interpretation.

Markdown viewing is one of the core use-cases I had in mind when building the Tachi Code browser extension ( https://tachicode.com/ ). Open a raw .md file in your browser and it'll…

Well you see he ran it through in through an LLM, but LLMs are lossy, so who can say if the output was a direct result of the copyrighted code or if the model focused on his unique…

Maybe it's time to start dusting off the ol' Jenkins-fu? Charging per minute for self-hosted runners seems absolutely bananas!

I’ve used this library on a couple of projects with great results. One, a drag-and-drop IaC builder and the other a GitHub Actions-like task execution graph viewer.

There’s a pattern to emoji use in docs, especially when combined with one or more other common LLM-generated documentation patterns, that makes it plainly obvious that you’re about…

It sometimes does it on its own, but to get it to do so consistently, it needs to be told. Doubly so if you want it to split off more than one sub-agent. This works great for refac…

For larger tasks that I know are parallelizable, I just tell Claude to figure out which steps can be parallelized and then have it go nuts with sub-agents. I’ve had pretty good suc…

More like they can better react to user input within their context window. With older models, the value of that additional user input would have been much more limited.

Having never owned a tablet, finding out now that iPad didn’t have a native calculator until 2024 is shocking!

When this was first posted a couple of weeks ago by the spec's author, I took it as an opportunity to see how quickly I could spin up an IntelliJ language plugin since the last tim…

I’m glad you got it working. If you don’t mind, could you post the url(s) that got blocked? The only calls to non-extension urls should be GitHub.

Thanks for trying it out! Loading that gist works for me on both Firefox and Chrome. You can submit a bug report on GitHub with more environment details, screenshots, and console l…

My favorite is when you ask Claude to implement two requirements and it implements the first, gets confused by the the second, removes the implementation for the first to “focus” o…

I think if I was going to look into code execution in Tachi Code, it’d probably as part of a transformation into some sort of remote development experience rather than pursue wasm …
