The way I do it is each worktree gets its own .env, with dev credentials to whatever it needs access to, and my coworkers have theirs set up to have an isolated Postgres database per worktree, but I didn’t bother with that in my setup— mayb

I just use git worktrees in a single container. Albeit I don’t have more than 3 agents going at a time generally due to my own context switching limitations.

“Your job isn’t your job. Your job is to find your next career step.” Paraphrasing from memory from Scott Adams’ “How to fail at almost everything and still win big.” I haven’t followed that advice, because I quite like my jobs, and getting

> It's asking somebody who writes code to now read and debug others code. This has been a big part of the job for anyone on a team for at least 20 years. I do agree that it’s the hardest and worst part of the job, and has now become

A friend of mine and I played Secret of Mana until our money overflowed the bounds of an int (or whatever was backing it. It evidently caused save game corruption, and that was the end of our epic run.

Sort of unrelated, but I recently built an http server in Odin to learn the language. It’s a pleasant language, and very low memory usage, if managed well. Around 50k requests per second on my old laptop. The surprising thing was that Bun m

Huh. Pretty cool. I haven't looked at vnix in a while, and it's been almost as long since I looked at V. It had a lot of controversy early on. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it recently to find out if the

I thought that was related to the insecticides/herbicides, not soil itself.

I use them. The top 3 models still write terrible code, regardless of harness. They’ll litter the code with safety checks for scenarios we’ve already guaranteed won’t happen. And they’ll solve problems you didn’t ask them to, and they’ll co

Tangentially related, but Astra generated some of the worst Odin code I’ve ever seen. Turns out AGI is indistinguishable from an Oracle subcontractor who hates tech and hates his job.

It’s in loads of things. Peanuts, spinach, beans, chocolate, avocados, corn, soy… the list is endless. If someone is really sensitive, they can have problems with high oxalate foods. Some people seem to accumulate oxalates, meaning their pr

I’m happy with Brave’s ad blocker. That said, I use Firefox on my desktop machines. It’s a great browser.

I run Niri and Dank Material Sell on Fedora. It’s perfect, and better than Omarchy from what I’ve seen. I much prefer scrolling window managers to tilers.

Is that the case? It seems to me that the people who cared about Snowden are basically the same people who care about Flock. Most of the people I know who didn't like Snowden also don't seem to care about Snowden. I do find it int

Oh. Interesting. I’m the same. Are those flashbacks actually a real thing people experience? I had also assumed it was just movie gimmicks.

I don’t see anything, but I also wonder if this is semantics, and we are all describing the same phenomena with different language.

Yeah. I see this estimate as either A) hot air (my serious take), or B) a dire warning of out of control inflation, or C) a prediction that they'll be a going concern in 500 years when $30T is in fact an average corporate revenue figur

> now we will never have better stuff. I disagree. Some of us love tinkering and learning and experimenting. AI can help with that. People like us will always do it. Hobbyist will continue to innovate even if others don’t.

To be fair, the discussions here are usually more informative than the articles.

It’s not better than codex / GPT in my experience. But it’s quite good. I’d say it’s useful and fast and with Cursor CLI is pretty capable with good limits for just $20 /mo. But Codex $100 plan is hard to beat.

It’s trivially easy to run a TUI in a container. Not so much with GUIs. And, since I run as much as possible in containers, and as little as possible on my host machine, I much prefer TUIs.

For me, I realized how insufferable my smart friends were, and I looked at people who I admired and whose company I enjoyed, and I realized humility was a key trait among the people I liked best. I’m still insufferable, though, but hopefull

If you’re talking about internet clients, I think the real world provides sufficient jitter. If you’re talking about a fleet of clients on your 10gbps network, jitter might be useful.

I'm using it, though I'm leery of how the project is run. It's been great, to be honest. I have been able to build very low-dependency projects quite quickly. Bun's documentation is decent, and its underlying features ar

Unlimited full-access to one of the best LLMs / agents on the market, and 80 hour work weeks probably.

Rust seems barely better than Node in this regard. Go or .Net or anything with a robust standard library seems like the way to go for most projects.

Well, those people would be opposed to using spellcheck and grammar tools, too, I guess. I don’t think there’s a reasonable argument against using AI to spellcheck/check your grammar other than that it’s hugely inefficient.
