the quality of your questions determines the quality of your life. this is even more so true with agents. a couple solid questions with your coding agent, if it has thought through certain edge cases can prevent so much harm.

The new generation of models, e.g. GPT 5.5 got much better at making decent architecture decisions. GPT 5.5 just decided to pull shared logic into a package in a way I haven't seen before.

Whatever @cubic_dev_ has been cooking, it's legit. 3 reviews in and I already got WAY more issues pointed out than with built-in Codex/Claude reviewing

@hemanta_io @EffectTS_ 100%

[Tim Suchanek @TimSuchanek]

One of the superpowers of @EffectTS_ is the legibility of the code. Because you're encoding so much semantic meaning (concurrency, errors, dependencies), it's much easier to jump in and review if the clankers left something out.

@huv1k @EffectTS_ https://t.co/07g9MvHR8W

@tim_smart always has clean Effect code.
Initially the syntax can look a bit weird, but over time once you learn what everything means, it gets easier and easier until it's very natural to read

[Tim Suchanek @TimSuchanek]

@manohhorse @EffectTS_ where do you find that it carries noise?

[Tim Suchanek @TimSuchanek]

oh no am I affected? https://t.co/0i97kKIlfS 😳

the builtin browser of the codex desktop app is goated. i told codex to fix something and come back to the chat and the embedded browser with the open page. really different experience!

[Tim Suchanek @TimSuchanek]

@RhysSullivan this is the way. we have a docker-compose setup and running multiple locally is painful. definitely on my list to get it all into a vm so i can just spin up a couple dev environments

Baking small new skills is such an amazing high leverage thing to do on a Friday.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@DeepgramAI provides MUCH better YouTube transcriptions than YouTube itself. Totally worth the couple cents per video.

Anthropic is gobbling up their supply chain.
Startup idea: 1. Build sth Anthropic wants to use
2. Skip the business model
3. Make sure they depend on it
4. Get acquired

@amapel Thank you for being real and vulnerable. We need more of this these days.
