Maybe it will go that way eventually. I haven't got into being able to hand off to agents in the cloud yet, I think as good as LLMs are getting, for complex / professional work the agents still need a lot of steering. I just have

I did - GitHub and Trello (and I expect Jira) have APIs that could be used to hook up an MCP server. I liked the idea of conversing with the agent in the ticket, but I decided against that because I'd have to keep refreshing the issues

Thanks. I also saw Vibe Kanban which looked quite mature with lots of features. But I was really liking working with markdown files in VS Code - with everything that comes with that (version control capability etc). I went down the route of

The JS Frameworks always feel fun to start with, but then I always end up realising how complex and flakey the tool chain is and switch to something simpler. ASP.NET + alpine.js is my current happy place. If I need a JS lib then I get it fr

No it doesn't, the units remain the same. Only legibility changes. Style doesn't affect semantics.

I think we have to think of software like books and writing. It is about conveying information, and while there are grammatical rules to language and conventions around good and bad writing, we're generally happy to leave it there beca

Removing software engineers from the software development loop ultimately requires ceding control of the detail in our software systems.

JS frameworks seem inevitable. Any time I've worked with native JS in a reasonable size projects, it becomes necessary to create libraries and common conventions, that starts to look like something approaching a small framework. A fram

Alpine.js would have been a better recommendation according to the authors advice as it is straight forward JS plus HTML attributes.

I don't know that much about AI, but my experience in other areas has shown me that 'more grown up' literature that feels harder to parse when your starting out later becomes the precise technical information you need as you

Search engines already feel like second choice to GPT-4(journals.appsoftware.com)

Having spent a week and a half with GPT-4, I've found my reflex when looking for information is to go to GPT-4 before Google (or any other traditional search engine). These are the main factors:

Yeah agree Obsidian is better for long form. You can change the enter key behaviour so on it's own it doesn't create a new block, but small blocks works better for my note taking style.

I can see how that could happen. But AI presumably knows how to output well written text because it's trained on well written text. If it's fed it's own output, I imagine that quality could degrade over time.

I wonder if as more and more online content is AI generated, it will be harder to find human generated content to train the AI's on? Like a cumulative echo effect.

I've been really happy with Logseq. It has a similar interface to Reflect by the looks of it, but it saves to the local file system in plain text (markdown-ish) format. They have sync now, but roll your own sync via git is also very fe
