It's not clear to me: is he asking us to bluid this or is he using twitter to ask it to its clawd bot?

Or more meta: is this message from the bot itself, controlling his twitter, who got fed up because it's also merging the MRs?

And then start writing "hit pieces" to all the bot PR authors? /s

It's surprisingly difficult, and the "obvious" techniques (just do embeddings) don't really work. I wrote about it and did benchmarks here: https://joecooper.me/blog/redundancy/

Thank you for actually testing and measuring an implementation & hypothesis. I appreciate the leads for evaluating my own similarity problems and efficacy.

> Worked all day yesterday and got like 600 commits in. It was 2700; now it's over 3100. Why? There's no reason you need to actually handle that many in a day, right? Pace yourself.

The author of this Tweet has been making waves by talking about using AI to write code without reviewing it. He wasn’t actually reading and reviewing all of that code himself. As for the pace: His project has become extremely popular and got him a very nice position at OpenAI just today.

He also said he’s been reviewing the security related PRs, which has been his focus of late.

I mean you can just do this with claude code or opencode. I suggest opencode and gemini pro since it has a nice big context window. If you are trying to do something like this on the website version of the models just forget it, stop using those, they are like toys compared to the CLI tools. Step 1: have it sum up every issue and pr in like 100 words. You can have it do it using subagents working on subsets of the ti…

I asked Copilot (work) to do this with a sheet and the summary it gave each time was so generic I couldn't tell one ticket from another. Feeding it tickets individually was fine, but in a spreadsheet it just seemed to forget. Would be interested to learn how we can get true foreach loops.

Yes, copilot is trash.
