@ryanlanciaux Churn in both the look and feel. It's gruelling nasty detailed work. Agents are a help, but it's still a slog. Every little change brings up a new issue.

GUI, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle.....it's exhausting.

@Jordan_RK terminal windows running grok cli, managed by swarm-forge.

I'm trying supergrok heavy, the $99/mo special is too good to pass up. I may regret this. We'll see.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

Fiddling with the GUI with a single agent starts to make a mess in the code. I don't need the full six-pack for this work, so I'm using a two-pack (coder->cleaner). I direct the coder to fiddle and when I get uncomfortable enough I have it hand off to the cleander. The cleaner cleans things up and hands back off to the coder to do a merge.

@kaio_m1 @grok, please define capitalism.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

GUi work is just so fiddly -- Even with agents it's just so fiddly.

@daballme @sarahtexe Feel free to donate to the cause. Get your friends and neighbors to do the same. It’s your county. Take care of it yourselves.

@shanbatla @famexbt I have four children and ten grandchildren. I see their struggles, and the struggles of their friends. And I recognize them.

@DeZuidermaan @MetamateDaz Rude. Plonk.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

@zoigDev @ChrisMurphyCT Definitely rude. Plonk.

@dundidinde @TrumpoidNY148T @MetamateDaz Conservative in name, certainly. In action? Immigration. Net zero. Not conservative where it counts.

@sovereignsurfer @famexbt Rude. Plonk.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

@siriusblack9999 @famexbt US banks have a lot of leeway to lend to whomever they believe will repay.

@jameslmorton @SenWarren Let’s hope. That doesn’t excuse her rhetoric.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

Definitions are important. Words have meanings.

The free exchange of goods and services always leads to the accumulation of wealth because both sides plan to profit from the exchange, and they are right more often than they are wrong.

That’s capitalism.

That accumulation of wealth creates an acceleration. Wealth breeds more wealth. That’s the miracle of western civilization in the 20th century.

Some accumulate wealth faster than others. When that wealth is used to exert power against free exchange governments are necessary to level the playing field. They reassert the free exchange against the anti-capitalist abuse of power.

Capitalist governments _affirm_ free exchange and keep it free; they don’t otherwise interfere with it.

@KevFleischer @KentBeck I’m always game.

Families grow. Children move out. A house that works for one situation may not work for another.

We’ve stayed in the same area, Lake County, IL, for three quarters of a century. We’ve changed neighborhoods several times.

The first house we built we were in for 15 years. The next for five. The one after that for another 15. We’ve been in our latest for 13. We also built a cabin in Wisconsin over a decade ago.

I bought my first house in the early 70s. It had no air conditioner. Another of my homes in the early 80s had a small window air conditioner that kept one room cooler. I didn’t have central air until I built a home in the early 90s. I will never do without that again.
