if your skill depends on dynamic content, you can embed !`command` in your SKILL.md to inject shell output directly into the prompt

Claude Code runs it when the skill is invoked and swaps the placeholder inline, the model only sees the result!

Just what I thought. Israel pushed Trump into the Iran war.

The ~1M Convex projects are running on a cluster of ~1000 nodes that assign timestamps etc. There's also a large cluster that runs transactions plus a big sharded PlanetScale cluster underneath.

We use Nomad for cluster management, which we find more ergonomic than Kubernetes.

The fastest way to mass-produce tech debt is to let architects who don't do on-call make infrastructure decisions.

I see a lot of complaints about untested AI slop in pull requests. Submitting those is a dereliction of duty as a software engineer: Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work https://t.co/Eso7BWaTtF

Writing code is now trivially fast. Reviewing it is not. Here's how I keep up.

The ty test suite is "written" in Markdown. Every code block here gets evaluated, with the comments representing expectations.

We have almost 300 of these files that effectively read as detailed documentation for how ty behaves and how the Python typing spec and runtime work.

Wow, @convex is unbelievable. Super exciting to show what I’ve been working on soon.

you should never care about what your boss thinks. your intrinsic motivation should far exceed any standard someone else can set for you.
