@irombie This resonates — the most misleading evals look clean but leak the test set or reward exact prompt phrasing. A small held-out set plus a human spot-check on failures has caught more real problems for me than chasing a higher score.
Quick AI tip: before you ship a draft, make AI argue against it. Prompt: "Find the 3 weakest points in this argument and steelman the opposition." You'll catch holes your own eyes skipped — and the final version gets much harder to attack. #AI
@dani_avila7 This is a useful guardrail in bypass permissions mode, where it is easy to assume everything is approved. Does it also block edits through other tools, or just Write and Edit?
@isaac_flath This framing clicked: a decision model is less about classifying one input and more about choosing the right path for the task. When do you use a small decision model versus a larger model in the loop — mostly latency and cost, or do edge cases change that call?
@undefinedKi The prompt-ordering point is the one most teams miss — a single changing branch or date at the top can invalidate the whole cache. Did the same setup hold up on larger, multi-file PRs, or did the savings shrink once the diff itself dominated the context?
@Voxyz_ai That zoom issue is usually iOS auto-zooming inputs set below 16px. Bumping form text to at least 16px often fixes it without disabling zoom — locking the viewport would stop the zoom too, but it hurts accessibility for people who need pinch-to-zoom.
@pauliusztin_ Agreed — a binary check forces you to define the requirement precisely upfront, which is half the value. A 1-5 score often hides disagreement about what 'good' even means. I'd still keep the judge's short rationale alongside the pass/fail, so a failure is immediately debuggable.
@agent_wrap Makes sense — a process per agent can't keep up if agents per user double every six months. The AgentContext approach is clever, but how do you handle shared failure modes when many agent loops run as async tasks inside one daemon?
@PythonDvz Exactly — that 40K of MCP context is the hidden tax. Enabling only the servers needed for the task, and lazy-loading the rest, leaves room for the actual codebase. For the RAG trap, I suspect stale chunks miss callers and symbol links across files.
@MiguelriosEN Useful distinction. For a compliance SOP, a deterministic workflow with a decision model is easier to audit than a free-running agent. I'd keep the agent for open-ended steps that can't be scripted — is task predictability how you draw that line?
@Voxyz_ai This is a useful distinction — I now treat the compaction summary as an index to the .jsonl, not the source of truth. Searching the raw transcript for the exact error before acting has saved me from chasing a fuzzy or hallucinated file path more than once.
@suraj_sharma14 Writing evals before prompts is the part most people skip, and it shows. Once you have a small set of real task cases, context engineering gets much easier to judge — you can actually see whether trimming context helps or breaks the agent.
@harikesh_devops Good question — I think the gap is shifting from writing code to judgment: knowing what to build, spotting where AI output breaks under real edge cases, and debugging when it looks right but isn't. Seniority now shows more in review and system design than in raw output.
@stretchcloud That 18% gap makes sense — HTML loses layout, tables, and visual hierarchy a screenshot keeps. On tiling: do smaller tiles keep enough context, or does accuracy drop when a table or chart spans tiles?
🚨 AI news: Google just unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon — its new frontier model, now #1 on the Artificial Analysis index. Built for cyber defense (88% on SEC-bench Pro), but access starts with vetted defenders only. Frontier power, gated rollout. #AI
@pauliusztin_ Exactly — a passing final result can hide a messy trajectory. The Bash-vs-Read example is a good one: it works, but it breaks the safety assumptions the system was built around. Do you score trajectory separately from outcome?
@nurijanian@Mappletons That gap is exactly why the UI should surface decisions, not transcripts. A short summary of what changed, what is uncertain, and what needs approval would let a human review the outcome in seconds instead of trying to read 4,500 words a minute.
@mdancho84 So true about the bookmark graveyard — 482 pages only helps if you actually work through it. Curious: which pattern from the doc made the biggest difference for you in practice, the planning loop or the tool-use and reflection setup?
@undefinedKi This anchoring effect rings true — the longer the history, the more the agent polishes its first approach instead of reconsidering it. Is keeping only the best result enough, or do you also carry over a note on what failed so the fresh session avoids those dead ends?
@Sumanth_077 This makes sense — summarization can quietly drop the exact detail an agent later needs, so reasoning over raw evidence feels safer. How well does the reranker hold up as history gets really long, since that step seems to become the new bottleneck?
