This is a cool idea, can you write more about how your tools work or maybe short descriptions of a few of them? I’m interested in more rails for my bots.

Why are you letting the LLM drive? Don't turn on auto-approve, approve every command the agent runs. Don't let it make design or architecture decisions, you choose how it is built and you TELL that clanker what's what! No jok

Solving “cars killing kids” is a lot harder than solving “dropping bombs on schools killing kids”. With the latter, we simply stop doing it. We can’t just stop using cars right away.

This is the way to do it if you're a serious developer, you use the AI coding agent as a tool, guiding it with your experience. Telling a coding agent "build me an app" is great, but you get garbage. Telling an agent "I&

I love it. I was getting burnt out due to ADHD or autism burnout but with AI tooling I’m able to work a full week without burnout. I think the kind of burnout I get is helped with these tools, but since I’m not neurotypical it’s different f

Even better, buy your child a domain name when they’re born. Then they can use any email service in the future, not just an obvious CIA plant.

Yes it’s literally just standard OAuth that’s defined in the MCP spec. I spent this week implementing an auth layer for my app’s MCP client gateway.

I’ve implemented an MCP tool calling client for my application, alongside OAuth for it. It was hard but no harder than anything else similar. I implemented a client for interference with the OpenAI API spec for general inference providers,

People in the comments still confused about “agentic development” vs. “agentic development”. One uses the cli best, while the other cannot use a cli very well. The first is using agents locally to develop. The second is developing an agent.

MCP is an API with strictly defined inputs and outputs.

No I get it; and it’s not a skill issue because debugging with proper tools is a skill and the issue is that lack of those tools means you lack the ability to even use your skill. My last job used a lot of fancy internal pg stuff and we cou

Sounds like we need IDE support for databases like we have for programming runtimes. Need to be able to lint, debug live, etc.

The missiles have what’s effectively a flak shotgun shell at the tip, when they’re pointed at an object and close by it shoots flak in a tight cone towards the front. Flak spreads the damage better and does more kinetic damage than trying t

OK if I come to your car, declare you’re my enemy, and tell you to get out before I toss a Molotov at you, does that mean I can’t be tried for murder later if you refuse? This was a sneak attack outside of an established war zone, for an il

There’s a reason it’s 10x cheaper. You’ll be paying the real price after the subsidies end.

Cursor does the same stuff but better in my opinion. It’s got an IDE focus but whatever agent pipeline they built is better at coding than Claude’s is and much much faster. I routinely fear for my career while using Cursor, but when I use C

Devs that are pushing crappy code using these tools are 1) devs who would have pushed shut code anyways 2) getting stress from above to push code faster with AI Good devs will learn to use these tools effectively.

It’s juvenile to consider all LLM assisted coding as vibecoding. I’m not going to expand here because this topic is about as much fun to discuss as politics, but coding assistant tools are just tools. If you give a regular person a race car

Bro, American bases have schools all over them, houses with families, etc.

In this case, they would have discovered it was a school with a Google search, basically. There’s no excuse.

Yea I just use LLM agents as tools, I don’t kick whole features to them or have a cloud agent running all the time. I rarely use more than $100 in usage monthly, usually less than half that. I use tab completion a lot in Cursor and use agen

Most features I do are not that complex. For the complex ones I’m already feeding designs to the agent via interfaces and specific instructions. I think people here are thinking I’m building Gmail from scratch when I’m talking about adding

In my instance, I’m talking more about using library X or library Y, not the difference between using an atomic versus a mutex. I want to learn the latter, but the former isn’t something I care about.

The productivity comes from not having the startup costs. You don’t need to research the best way to do X, just verify that X works via tests and documentation. I find it still takes T hours to actually implement X with an agent, but if I d

These small models won’t train you in maneuvering skills directly, but rather in how to think about maneuvering and the mindset you need in traffic. A sim or a real ship gives you actual maneuvering skills in addition to that experience. Yo
