    Is that not still down though because it still relies on GH actions to orchestrate?

    Only at the current point in the conversation though, right? You can't rewind and then fork from a previous message, as far as I know

    The /tree feature is incredible for context management. It's really surprising the other harnesses haven't slurped it up yet. It lets you rewind back to any previous message and fo…

    For those interested in this I also recommend autobase, a set of ansible roles for a highly available postgres cluster on hetzner or other clouds: https://github.com/autobase-tech/…

    Just FYI, those discussions might be ending because your analogy comes across as a threat to punch them in the mouth, rather than because it convinces them.

    My interpretation of the concern is that propagate implies that the new value is being pushed out to other resolvers, when in fact those other resolvers pull the new value (once th…

    I started using this today and am really enjoying the notifications when agents are awaiting input, and the status indicators! But it feels odd to have it outside of tmux. I've got…

    Can you say more about what it gives you over tmux alone? I've assumed it's just native tmux tabs

    Does this mean adding instructions to AGENTS.md saying to end everything with the bell character? Or do harnesses have this in their settings somewhere?

    Really interesting! I wonder if using a different communication channel (eg Discord) could eliminate the cost to reply to everyone?

    Forgive me if I'm being naive, but can't you just tweak the compaction prompt to differentiate? Presumably that's what you would do in the separate prompt anyway, right?

    Can you say more about how this applies to long-running conversations? I've been thinking about them as well, but can't write wrap my head around how this would be better than (or …

    I agree. I was hoping for a few positive examples, but didn't see any. The only one I know of is the OIDC discovery endpoint.

    Came here to say the same thing. How could the author possibly illustrate the point of the book without at least 4 case studies and a reference to prehistoric humans?

    You could also use nsenter if curl is installed on the host, eg docker inspect -f '{{.State.Pid}}' container-name # let's imagine that outputs 814538 nsenter -t 814538 -n curl exam…

    I've tried most of the tools out there but have used cursor most consistently. Sure, some of the UI quirks get in the way sometimes, but I've found its auto complete predictions to…

    I read this article and was surprised when I reached the end because the whole thing felt like it was setting the stage for some announcement or new thing. But nothing came..? Forg…

    We have some enterprise customers who require all data be processed in the UK or AU. We've been limited to using Azure OpenAI, which only has older models in those regions (eg 4o, …

    Rails has several database-backed job backends, but the convention is always to make jobs do one thing, and ideally be very short-lived. This makes building workflows a bit contriv…
