I don’t understand how you’ve reasoned your way here. How could Jev have possibly built something out of reach of a frontier lab providing the same or 5x as much resourcing to one of their teams to achieve? Which they can do because Jev has

Author here! Wrote this for engineers who are using these tools but want a deeper understanding of how they work. It’s a write up of what I’ve learned from building support for skills and MCPs into our agent harness, so comes from very prac

Generally just very useful to have it clickable or copyable from the commit is the thing? Along with models being much better and more direct to follow something if it’s there. An agent will always read commits to look at a change, force it

It’s not meant for saying “this change was done by Claude” it’s meant to connect commits back to the session. Makes it way easier to jump back into a follow up change between sessions as the agent can reload parts of the context. Anyone thi

It’s really useful for helping agents navigate history and maintain continuity between sessions. So wouldn’t assume it’s for marketing, it has a lot of utility.

As a Claude user this is just a benefit to me. Means I can grab the session and resume if I ever see a commit I want to jump back into, and Claude can read these sessions itself whenever I reference the commit, which helps a bunch. It might

Am I misunderstanding this change? This makes it sound like Claude is attaching the entire session content when I thought it was only a link that is exclusively readable by the author, unless deliberately shared?

Fwiw to acquire a banking license and get the relevant approvals I believe you need to prove a redundancy plan that goes beyond just scaling. I used to work in fintech where we’d face the same requirements and know a bunch of folks from Mon

You’d use it because until recently Cursor had the best setup for cloud agents and visual verification and a bunch of other features outside of the harness.

They are deciding on the merits of the model right? They’re picking the model that’s supported in most tools. I think maybe you’re suggesting private companies should be forced to support all models which is a position that isn’t technicall

I work with Johanna (author) on the incident team. It’s been pretty cool watching this roll out, been particularly great that I’ve barely had to think about the replicas when working with the code. The wiring to route to either replica or p

We have found similar when plugging GLM 5.2 into actual benchmarks in our product. The open-source models are really dialled into the public benchmarks, until you try them in context you won't have a solid idea of how they perform (Son

Most companies have legal agreements called "Zero Data Retention" with these providers that bans them from storing any data that you send them (we are one of those companies). The difference here is that for the first time Anthrop

I'm on the team who built this, I don't understand how you think these would be used. We need to use a b-tree index to give us ordered results that we then filter by the bloom column, how would an index on the bloom filter column

We use CC to power some of our code features and override this setting so we can provide our own attribution. So there are several legit reasons to permit this.

I hadn't come across GPTZero before and wondered if it worked. Just testing on a sample of my blog posts (I do one each year) I got a 100% AI generated mark for a post in... 2022, and 2023. Both before AI tools were around. Not to say

This is my colleague Mike’s write-up about using bloom filters to make our list alerts endpoint much faster for filtering and pagination. In a past life I’d struggled a lot with a public API that had some really tricky pagination performanc

Am one of the engineers who responded to this incident. Lots of lessons to be learned, was a painful Monday. Happy to have fixed up a bunch of these issues already though.

I'm one of the engineers at incident.io, so thanks for the mention! But yes, when we first started the majority of our customers bought us for incident management and used PagerDuty as their on-call provider (phones them, receives the

Always makes me laugh when people pick company names that are domains and spend their life fighting incorrect capitalisation. I work at incident.io it's a daily struggle.

Author here, thanks for posting! Would be interested if anyone else sees these dynamics playing out. It seems there’s a really powerful combination of larger players starting later and a rising tide of AI improvements that mean the smaller

Urgh, alongside Opsgenie shutting down that’s a lot of people whose paging solution has just EoL’d.

It’s an alerting/incident response incumbents thing. Ask anyone how much PagerDuty/Opsgenie have improved in the last decade and you’ll have the answer! There’s a first wave of incident startups that responded to the market having

I work at incident.io and we’ve had to help a number of our customers who were affected by this. While Atlassian frame it like you can migrate, there’s no official migration story and the feature lists don’t match at all. We’ve got a good m

This really sucks, that is rough. When you’re buying from a company like Atlassian you don’t expect this to happen really. The writing has been on the wall for a while with Opsgenie though. I work at incident.io and loads of our customers h

I mean, AI is just matrix multiplication, amirite? Pretty reductive argument honestly. AI services mean that a lot of AI operations are 'just HTTP requests' but it doesn't mean there isn't a huge amount of tooling that y
