Finally found a meaningful scenario for running LLM in the browser, peering into the internals of LLM to see what's really happening inside

Mob programming/Swarming ~= contentious
Agent swarms/Tokenmaxxing ~= not contentious
Anyone else seeing it like this?

@dhh Multi-agent concurrency is an underrated infra problem. We've started treating agent runs like jobs in a queue - rate limiting, prioritizing, killing idle ones. The resource management side of running agents at scale is the unsexy part nobody talks about.

Smaller room today, but still packed to listen to Rafael Teixeira talk about his on going research on Machine Learning

Ticket trackers grossly understate the impact of your best employees. Your best developers spend disproportionately more time helping other developers perform at their peak. Their contributions are not easily tracked by project issue trackers. https://t.co/dVeNeX3PH8

@dgomes Feel clickbaited 😅 Dead documents and empty phrases are a WIDESPREAD problem, sensible to eliminate/automate. Would love to see a follow-on article on "ChatGPT: given the previous proposal summaries and a budg
of X Mil, choose 5 to fund and write thoughtful rejection letters"😁

Flies on carousels? Creative and insightful work on play-like behaviour!

Ever wondered if flies enjoy a carousel ride as much as we do? Wonder no more, it seems they do – flies play! Out now: https://t.co/JWhRA8ZARF (1/7)

@allenholub @jbonnemaison Of course with one piece flow, mobbing, you build it you run it and sizing to 1day valuable and deliverable, loops are acceptable and teams can manage them easily. "Don't manage dependencies, break them"

[António Howcroft @anthowcroft]

@allenholub @jbonnemaison I'm with you on linear flow. However, I use it as a thought exercise. I see orgs looping items in (obviously disfuncional) loops that are at least 3 weeks when they don't loop. the effect of such loops is: item flagged as in progress (easily) 6/9/12 weeks before being releasable

@tottinge @KentBeck @RonJeffries The Wikipedia page about C3 only made me more curious about this project. Any good public sources about C3 success and failures? Especially from those of you directly involved?

@wolfhuette I love the idea of automating to free up humans of rote tasks, but this automation (and impersonation!) just went absolutely to an even worse rote task....😔

"I'm not blocked"

Okay, but you have 20 tickets sitting out there that are "done" (code complete) but haven't made it to release due to PRs, bugs, etc.

All your work is blocked and jammed up.

But not you. This is fine, right?

@SteveSmith_Tech Ahhh... the "fuzzy front end". Just.... don't. It's fine 🔥
