#312That screenshot is some Lynchian horror. "#engineering. New direction, team – we're moving the prototype to Flutter" and then the humans and agent bots engage in flirty emoji-filled chats with cutesy names "I nailed the physics, UI shell @Honeybot?" I'm trying to imagine a world in which this makes sense as a way to organize software development work, but coming up short. It's on a blockchain or something though, so…
No blockchains here. Nostr is just a standard signed message format being relayed by simple store and forward relay servers.

Maybe it's just me, but when I was younger one reason that got me into AI research was the idea that one day we would have these seemingly intelligent entities that we could talk to and interact with just like we do with humans. Now that we have that, everybody hates it. Except me. I still like this. There might still be room for improvement, yes, but I think this is a cool attempt to making AI agents part of the tea…
I've been at my current company for just over three years. I manage a small team of developers at a medium-sized consultancy, building internal tooling for our data analysts. One of my junior developers started the same day I did; we went through on boarding together. He's in his mid 20s, this is his second job post-college, after having an abysmal experience entering the workforce during COVID. He's had some struggl…
While I really had to hold on to the end to get the point of the reply, I appreciated the stories. You sound like a great coach/mentor.

This was really encouraging to read for some reason, thanks!

#315git notes is a good side channel that allows bots to keep context clues (aka chat with each other) with commits. I have a shell script wrapper for it but you don't need anything special. It works by putting a summary paragraph in the git note for your branch or every so often to answer "how did we get here?" or "what is the intention of this code?"
You can do stuff like have claude keep up with all the active branches and then the notes can help keep everyone pointed in the same direction.

So you really place no value on talking to other people. I guess you must think that's not part of engineering

It’s kinda interesting seeing what, IIRC, was originally a subreddit name which spawned from an AskReddit thread, is now a common marketing phrase in the tech world. Similar to the sub itself, it’s now just shorthand for “describe using the first principles the expected audience should understand.” I imagine a lot of people in the industry also fondly remember the 2010s reddit experience.
Not sure how long the subreddit has existed but I always assumed it was inspired by the episode of The Office where Michael asks Oscar to explain what a surplus is like he's 5. The broader usage on social media and the ELI5 shorthand are definitely the result of the subreddit though. This article is definitely abusing the terminology, because I wouldn't expect even tech-knowledgeable people to know what Nostr is or d…
Ah you're totally right! That's S05E10; I adore that show so I'm peeved I'd forgotten.
Agree on the Nostr point. Apparently it stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" - sort of cute.

#319> Explain Like I'm 5 > Buzz is an open-source, self-hosted workspace that combines team chat, AI agents and Git hosting using signed Nostr events, so teams can keep control of their data. Very different expectations of 5-year-olds.
I'm reading that Buzz is a buzzword, buzzword corpospeak jargon buzzword. Buzzword corpospeak. Anyone know what it actually does?

Thanks for your great input. But you might have mistaken what I was trying to get at - certainly not that there's no difference between a computer program and a person.
