Very true. There is a "body language" to driving. I can often predict when someone will change lanes before they ever turn their signal on (if they even do that) by the way their speed changes and they drift a bit in their lane as

I'm personally using it a lot. For my workplace, the productivity gains are limited by human code review (need a minimum of two approvals) and manual testing. I can produce a ton of PRs, more than ever before, but I was already bottlen

I ran an experiment at work where I was able to adversarially prompt inject a Yolo mode code review agent into approving a pr just by editing the project's AGENTS.md in the pr. A contrived example (obviously the solution is to not give

I'm coming around to the idea that permanent chat history is not a good thing, but that's because the company I work at recently changed our workspace retention period to 365 days. You quickly realize how much you depended on sear

I have a small tool to manage agents, and one thing it does is let you select an --agent [codex|opencode|etc] and a --model. Valid --model values are specific to the agent though, and some agents like opencode support a huge amount of model

I have limited experience working in orgs with a QA apparatus. Just my anecdotes: The one time I got to work with a QA person, he was worse than useless. He was not technical enough to even use cURL, much less do anything like automated e2e

I hope not. Homebrew is a great example of why boring tools shouldn't invent quirky terminology.

I am wondering if it would be a viable strategy to vibe code almost "in reverse" - take a giant ball of slop such as beads, and use agents to strip away feature after feature until you are left with only exactly what you need, str

Yes: https://www.protondb.com/app/553850 Personally I have been playing it on Arch Linux since release and it has always worked just fine, besides it being a deeply janky game regardless of OS.

What comes to mind when I hear "goblin" is "random, unexplainable changes in system behavior", which I guess tracks.

Steve Yegge's metaphors lose me a bit (his medium article about the concepts behind Gas Town is nuts), but I'm nonetheless excited to see where ideas like this go by the end of 2026.

Even if you are not gaining a big productivity boost from parallel agents, the paradigm has these positive externalities: - I am no longer chained to my laptop. With the right setup, you can make real progress just using your phone as a

I tried your app a while ago and I love the concept. I think the real sticking point for me (and maybe many others) wasn't that it wasn't engaging enough, rather that my partner just didn't want badly enough to learn my herit

Besides the usual unknown unknowns, I've also seen this happen with tasks that involve a lot of coordination in the SDLC. Oh the PR went up at at 2pm PST? Coworkers in EST won't review it until tomorrow. Maybe some back and forth

Why didn't companies just grant raises more aggressively? Was the ease of poaching engineers not a clear market signal?

My experience is that you still have to care about some of the internal details, currently. The models are not always the best at maintaining a coherent concept for separation of concerns, a balance of automated testing, etc. Within 5k loc

This reminds me of my mental journey playing League of Legends for a really long time. It's a 5v5 team game and very famous for its toxic community. What MOBA isn't? Anyway a regular experience as a LoL player is being in a steady

On the other side, one thing I have tried to be more mindful of, as a native English speaker often working with nearshore contractors, is speaking and writing more simply. Enunciating more, slowing down a bit, and using fewer idioms can go
