I’ve been using speech-to-text for communicating with AI agents too often. When I context-switch and talk to people instead, I have to remind myself not to be straightforward in the interest of saving tokens.

I'll be speaking about Agent Skills for full stack development at @TokyoAI_JP. Few more talks on agentic development. Come join if you're interested!

@fintasys Nothing wrong, cmux builds on top of it (literally, uses libghostty) with better notifications support (see 0:50-1:05 in the video).
cmux natively reads ghosty config, along with its own non-overlapping config.

In the past month, I've switched my default terminal twice (iterm → ghostty → cmux).
The last time I changed my default terminal was 7 years ago (tilix → iterm2) when I switched to a macbook 👴

MistralAI Worldwide Hackathon Tokyo was great !
Did not expect to pull an all-nighter, ML hackathons are intense. Used hugging face, weights and biases for the first time. Fine-tuning has changed a lot since my uni days 👴

#Gemini3HackathonTokyo was fun.
Used a bunch of Gemini APIs, learned about audio video manipulation. Need to catch up on claude skills.

Me when preparing a 30 min talk
- Start writing
- Oh god, 30 mins is a lot of time
- Write more, more research
- Oh god, 30 mins is not a lot of time

Unempowered Accountability:
A phenomenon of holding people responsible for outcomes without giving them the power to make decisions.

I'm going to avoid it like the plague.

The remaining overview. It pulled information from several sources, so some information is dated.

An AI overview, just for me ?

Accidentally entered my github repo on google search, and Google's AI decided to show a lovely overview. It's pretty accurate, except that the picture isn't me, it's a college mate 😂

"And you know what’s funny? When senior engineers do this well, it looks easy. Like nothing was even done. The project just… goes smoothly."

My recent promotion project was similar. 0 lines of code written in 2 months (of 6), but 30 slack @'s everyday.
