@bcherny Doesn’t seem to be live yet for me. Do I need to do anything to activate this?

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@shl Where do I report bugs?

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@mntruell Stop trying to tab complete every file I open. Especially non code stuff like JSON. Consider that I just want to have a look and not have some random tab completion suggestions clutter the actual content

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@levelsio Gaggenau or Wolf

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@Zain_Wania @zeeg @opencode I found slash commands to work even better for things like commit. Add embedded Bash commands in the prompt to get all the context it needs upfront

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@shl Email support. The phone lines are horrendously bad with long wait times and in case the IRS messed up the return an impossible to pass „verification step“

@ThinkAtharva @marckohlbrugge @37signals Agreed. That’s mostly the issues with projects like this. Usually it comes with a very opinionated setup (you just need these three servers already running or some kubernetes cluster or whatever). All we want is a serverless CloudFormation stack to deploy

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

@thsottiaux Just make sure that the alphabetically sorted list of model names ends up in order of model performance please

@TimurNegru Part of the requirements to get 4/5 stars is the staff to guest ratio in many countries.

@karpathy How many useful calls do you get? Might be able to just turn off the number if the good calls are all FaceTime/Whatsapp anyways.
Turn it on briefly when yet another bank needs to send a 2FA text because they don’t support anything modern

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@paulg @sleepcycle should have the data needed for this already

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@karpathy Which model do you mostly use for this these days? Tight leash is definitely needed for Claude 3.7. I noticed that with Gemini 2.5 you can be much more relaxed.

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@ericzakariasson Would be great if you could just support VSCode workspaces and allow cursor rules to be pointed out either in the workspace file or have them in each folder

One of my goals for 2025: bringing technical minds together to discuss real production challenges with AI agents. We don't do this enough in Germany.

So we're starting a meetup. Announcing "AI in Production: The Year of Agents" technical talks in Munich on March 21st at 18:30! We'll feature three 10-minute speakers tackling hands-on implementation challenges beyond the hype.

What matters isn't sophisticated agent frameworks, but reliability engineering and production-grade workflows. This meetup is about sharing those practical insights.

Spots are limited! If you're in Munich and working with AI agents or interested in production challenges, sign up now -> https://t.co/u5DkEKWj9H.

If successful, we hope to make this a recurring series where the European AI community can share real-world insights.

Die Bundestagswahl wurde REGELKONFORM angesetzt. Wenn jetzt so viele Leute ihre Briefwahlunterlagen nicht rechtzeitig bekommen haben, dann hat der Staat - mal wieder - bei einer seiner zentralen Aufgaben VERSAGT.

[Susanne Baumann @GermanAmbUK]

Keine #Wahlunterlagen bei mir in London angekommen!

Bei der #Bundestagswahl können viele Deutsche im Ausland ihr Wahlrecht nicht ausüben. Fristen wurden zu knapp kalkuliert, die Verfahren sind zu bürokratisch. Eine Reform ist dringend notwendig.

@levelsio Yes. For years with multiple companies. No issues with deliverability except for few isolated cases

[Andreas Zoellner @AMZoellner]

@jahooma @cursor_ai Can I refactor an entire code base, say from CJS to ESM? Or will it eventually loose track of what it’s doing and leave many files untouched? Assuming hundreds of files
