I've been doing a lot of experimenting with this with a c++ compiler project[0]. I definitely experienced a lot of challenges, but I do believe it is possible to end-up in a consis…

From harness? Because people expect a squishy set of things from a harness that is different from what I end up building. I end up with a rigid internal structure that the harness …

I’m definitely on the deterministic code train as well. All of my success for long running tasks has been around wrapping the agentic harness (cc, codex-cli, etc.) in a determinist…

For me it was earlier this year when I started dusting off some old stalled projects and had an agent work on them. In a few days I: * Built a clone of the Alpha Zero implementatio…

I've been experimenting quite a bit with long-horizion agentic coding[1] and I have also noticed that agents seem to perform worse when forced into certain architectural patterns. …

I think there is a flow in most organizations from: llm -> prompt -> result llm -> prompt + prompt encoded as skill -> result llm -> prompt + deterministic code encoded as skill ->…

This is actually a very interesting moment to potentially overcome network effects, because more and more code is going to be written by agents. If a crdt approach is measurably be…

I share the concern based on the current productivity expectations but I did stumble across something recently which makes me feel a lot better. There was a change in the tax code …

I am by no means an AI skeptic. It is possible to encode all sorts of things into instructions, but I don’t think the future of programming is every individual constructing and man…

I'm really baffled why the coding interfaces have not implemented a locking feature for some code. It seems like an obvious feature to be able to select a section of your code and …

Heroku is turning the 12 factor manifesto into a community project and modernizing it. I posted my thoughts in a blog[1], and I'd love to hear what other people think! [1] https://…

This is something I’ve been arguing for for a while[1]. I called it a “Framework Knowledge Base”. I think it needs to go a bit further and include specific code examples, especiall…

Doesn’t this already exist as https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv-cli ?

I've followed Caleb on YouTube for a while, due to his MtG content. He is PhD in Optical Sciences that makes some very interesting AI art. He has created a new card game with hand …

Just reran the benchmarks from 10 years ago, python is only 37X slower than C on the benchmark now, and the go version is running faster than the C version. Python still has big pr…

Python is extremely slow for some tasks. I was surprised to discover how slow when I ran some benchmarks, despite having used python for many years at the time. It has been improvi…

This is definitely an intriguing line of thinking. I too am constantly appalled by the complexity we introduce into the things we build, but I suspect a lot of it has to do with hu…

I'm surprised that neither the documentary nor the review gets into the legacy of OpenStack. I may be biased, but it seems to me that a huge amount of the success of kubernetes is …

In this particular case, some of the runs from iFit instructors are actually quite good, and it cool that it adjusts the speed and incline to match the instruction. Probably not wo…

Thank you for this. I was hoping someone had figured it out but I hadn't found this yet.

I hadn't been following the "Right to Repair" movement too closely until I discovered that NordicTrack recently locked their users out of Privileged Mode[0], which makes it virtual…
