I don't think it takes care of tone transformation (eg 他是 ni3shi4 -> ni2shi4). Or if it does, my tones are just off. But it's a really cool idea!

Using small threads (see https://ampcode.com/@sqs for some of my public threads). If you use very long threads and treat it as a long-and-winding conversation, you will get worse r…

What's super interesting is that Opus is cheaper all-in than Sonnet for many usage patterns. Here are some early rough numbers from our own internal usage on the Amp team (avg cost…

Sorry we missed that email! I don’t know what went wrong there, but I just replied and will figure it out. This is definitely not the norm (and Build Crew is a small fraction of ou…

Yeah, I said about coding agents, “it’s obviously the future, but it’s not there yet”. That talk was from the AI Engineer conference in June 2024 (16 months ago). Coding agents hav…

It's a big organization of teen coders who build really cool things together. Instead of coding alone, they get to hack on software and hardware projects in person and online with …

Buildkite is awesome, by far the best CI product and with an amazing team.

Thank you for pointing that out. Just pushed a fix, will be live in ~5-10min.

That draft RFC you mention is superseded by https://agents.md . Now that Amp uses AGENTS.md ( https://x.com/sqs/status/1957945824404729997 ), I made all the former agent file stuff…

Just the filename is standardized. The contents aren't, which is exactly right. From the site: > Are there required fields? > No. AGENTS.md is just standard Markdown. Use any headi…

Amp has only been out for a couple of months, and it's growing fast. Cursor and Claude Code have been around for longer, but obviously that's not always a good thing since everythi…

This is really cool. I used Vibe Kanban with Amp to update some of our docs and UI components, and it was great.

Priompt might be what you're looking for: https://github.com/anysphere/priompt .

Is it a very large codebase? Anything else distinctive about it? Are you often asking high-level/conceptual questions? Those are the questions that would help me understand why you…

Tool-calling agents with search tools do very well at information retrieval tasks in codebases. They are slower and more expensive than good RAG (if you amortize the RAG index over…

It's fundamentally hard. If you have an easy solution, you can go make a easy few billion dollars.

What a shallow, negative post. "Hype" is tautologically bad. Being negative and "above the hype" makes you sound smart, but this post adds nothing to the discussion and is just as …

Thank you, and I’m sorry about that. Will look into this and fix on our side.

What broke on you when using Cody? Sorry to hear about that and want to fix it for you.

Congratulations and thank you to Sid, the GitLab CEO, for building an incredible company and product. GitLab was the first code host to add more products (CI, security, ops, helpde…
