...seeing actual _real_ AI workflows run in practice is quite remarkable.

Aside from the abundance of AI noise, there is real, true progression happening! It's hard to find, but when you see it, it's special!

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@DonnyWals There is definitely a mind shift going on behind the noise. Optimizing token spend for optimized results.

IMO, it's about how we integrate these new tools into existing and potentially improved/new workflows.

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

I recently integrated @screenshotbotio into our apps @SpokeDelivery and I can't explain how easy it was. I had it integrated within an hour 🤯

IMO, snapshot tests are going to be the ultimate tool when building apps with agents...

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

Remember when the industry was crying out to make everything "reusable"? - How things have changed!

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

It's strange, but something clicked using AI tools recently. It feels like 2008 all over again...

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@twannl @swift_leeds @claudeai @bcherny Yes, either that or more group led slightly longer sessions 👍🏼

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

Would it be valuable to have a specific AI type drop-in session, learning session @swift_leeds would you get value in such session?

Thinking workflow sharing, best practices etc…

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@twannl @swift_leeds Agreed! I just need @claudeai (cc. @bcherny) to allow us to run "Claude Labs" to over 300 software engineers at @swift_leeds, perhaps some free access 👀

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@No_Wham @swift_leeds 😂

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

The difference between Opus and Sonnet isn't even comparable!

Sonnet feels like light-years behind 🤯

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

It's kind of heartbreaking to see a product you once loved decline 📉

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@0xWDG To be honest, I am not sure they would allow it. Might need to just allow direct install instead 👀

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

I built this little macOS notch widget that celebrates in cat style your every commit, who needs it? 😽

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

The cat is always happy 😻

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@0xWDG Depends on how fast Apple can review it 😂

[Adam Rush 🛫 @Adam9Rush]

@stefanjblos Haha, it's such a delight when it pops up
