This is why we built swamp[1]. Swamp teaches your Agent to build and execute repeatable workflows, makes all the data they produce searchable, and enables your team to collaborate. We also build swamp and swamp club using swamp. You can see

Solve for what? The degree of choice point-to-point in the skill tree is actually quite limited in most circumstances. There are obviously items, like thread of hope, intuitive leap, or inversion of choice items like unnatural instinct whic

having to kitty-ssh or whatever to set appropriate terminfo otherwise it breaks was really irritating when i was trying it out. has that been fixed?

We built something similar[1], including integrated memory for debugging. It is very useful to have repeatable artifacts left behind every time you use an agent to accomplish a task. The main design decision we took was to integrate with yo

That's likely because it takes an entirely different approach to make it work. Augmenting your existing flow with "sophisticated auto complete" isn't as interesting and isn't actually using the tools how they were d

Does https://swamp.club do a better job? System Initiative was a thing for ~6.5 years. I talked to every person who ever used it or was interested in using it in the last 2.5 years. Thousands of them. Swamp is better by every me

I run dozens, hundreds? of new sessions every day. I don't have long lived sessions. 1 session = 1 task.

I can't really speak to the sociotechnical proclamations, because I didn't make them. What it does for you is simple: if you want to automate something, it does. Load the AI harness of your choice, tell it what to automate, swamp

It feels so weird to me - people are exhausting their quotas while I am trying very hard to even reach mine with the $200 plan. We're generating all of the code for swamp[1] with AI. We review all of that generated code with AI (this i

Wasn't that the entire premise of drop, though? Massive stock of quality, curated items. Not necessarily in a specific niche. The "what new drop is there today" is the appeal. If it's now a glorified Amazon, who cares?

Sure it is.. you can download and use it right now. Helps you understand why people are interested in it, at the very least.

There is a lot you can do to shape the end result to not have these faults. In the end, the engineering mind and rigor still needs to apply, so the hard work doesn't go away. But, the errors that are described - no architecture adhesio

I've been programming for literally my entire life. I love it, it's part of me, and there hasn't been more than a week in 30 years that I haven't written some code. This is the first time that I feel a level of anxiety w

None in my area. Time to disperse. Get out of major cities like the pandemic promised. Fill in this great country we live in. Proliferate the governments surveillance for them.

Yeah - this easily replaces the Macbook Air M1, which I only use for traveling. I am hoping the battery life is just as insanely good.

AI Agent's like Claude Code are an arms race to the bottom. Just like frontier model quality, they all converge on feature sets over time (plan mode, skills, remote execution, sandboxing, etc.,) and opencode is holding its own, preferr

Key changes are - ID verification to see porn on Discord. - Also, some warnings to not befriend stangers. Not very heavy handed, you can google porn anytime. I am not sure who this serves.

I don't know, all I can say is with API-based billing, doing multi-thousand like refactors that would take days to do costs like $4. In terms of value : effort, it's incredible.

You write a generic architecture document on how you want your code base to be organized, when to use pattern x vs pattern y, examples of what that looks like in your code base, and you encode this as a skill. Then, in your prompt you tell

Did you give it any architecture guidance? An architecture skill that it can load to make sure it lays out things according to your taste?

Is this a case of doing it wrong, or you think accuracy is good enough with the amount of context you need to stuff it with often?

Or you just fully embrace the thin client life and offload everything to the server. pxe boot with remotely mounted filesystems. local hard drives? who needs those?

What a stupidly fun thing to set up. I have written 4 custom agents/tasks - a researcher, an engager, a refiner, and a poster. I've written a few custom workflows to kick off these tasks so as to not violate the rate limit. The in

https://keeb.dev I do some writing then delete it. It's more for personal notes and context. It also front ends a lot of services I self host which are not necessarily linked or crawlable.
