@bcherny I’d love to manage my CCD routines in the iOS app. I can view the remote routine sessions by following a deep link from a PR, but there no way to see the routines and a list of their runs.

This is it, Github Next's "Ace" in the hole: https://t.co/d4UsnK0vcQ

@bcherny can we get /loop working in remote sessions? Claude tells me the tools are missing in that environment.

@steipete Can codex start new threads, or is this using sub-agents? My codex says it doesn’t have the ability to start separate threads.

Fable 5 was fun. Wonder if we’ll get it back. Honestly I don’t see how regular people are going to continue to have access to more powerful models. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Now’s a good time to revisit moments in films/shows like this https://t.co/o3JjxxWqwq

@EntireHQ congrats on the launch!

I have one question: Should I work on a backfill script to populate my checkpoints branch or wait for something official?

I have hundreds (thousands?) of sessions that desperately need to be linked to their commits.

You don't have to ship code if you develop in production.

I've been dreaming of this day for so many years.

[Aaron Soules @a10s_code]

Users don't belong in sessions.

It's equivalent to watching a CI build.

Unblock Your Agents

As the price and execution time of code production approaches zero, the blocker becomes whenever a human is in the loop.

Get out the way. Move. Figure out the precise moments where a human in the loop is necessary.

If you want to continue life as a farmer, you must buy a tractor. That simple.

I am no longer reviewing code for personal projects.

Good thing I have no users!

If AI becomes widely available, interchangeable, cheap to run, open-source or commodity...

[drum roll]

"Labor may shrink, but the “labor TAM” will mostly turn into lower prices, higher output, and consumer surplus — not trillion-dollar vendor revenue."

Try Expansion, today.

[Aaron Soules @a10s_code]

Compression is for Agents. Expansion is for Humans.

Yes, LLMs are excellent at summarizing content. You can compress articles, meeting transcripts, books, etc, in service of consuming more, faster.

This is a trap...
