"A lot of people are very uncomfortable with the fact that they are essentially just CRUD monkeys. They just make systems that create, read, update or delete rows in a database, and they have to compensate for that existential dread by overcomplicating things."

@umeshjj7 just black is the only real coffee, and should be easy to make at home, everything else are just milkshakes with some coffee in it

Everyone I know personally who’s doing really good in their career has some passion outside of work.

@Prominent_Bryan Honestly, after using UPI from India, e-transfers/interac in Canada felt ages behind.

Everyone enjoying start of summer 🌞

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

just noticed that whole day had at least one agent doing something

claude (for learning) -> copilot (work) -> hermes (personal stuff)

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

@icanvardar also the javascript framework wars.

It's amazing how there has been no new popular javascript framework since the AI became popular. Tells a lot about how things in tech industry works.

@mariusschober @Molson_Hart @nntaleb this is not specific to muslims. We have one vegetarian friend in our group so we always go to restaurants which has good veg options

@rayansadri don't forget RBC

@_Evan_Boyle @burkeholland what is a copilot plugin?

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

@rousseaukazi Agree; lot of good things will come out now that engineers stopped chasing "FAANG" companies

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

@NousResearch @digitalocean @GitHubCopilot no premium requests so far

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

so I created a personal AI Assistant with @NousResearch hermes agent, running on most basic droplet by @digitalocean and my @GitHubCopilot subscription

Using the agent since last 2 days without any cost. @digitalocean gives you $200 credits on new account

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

But can the personal AI agents add actual value? I can try to create an AI assistant and then replace all my productivity, habits tracker apps with the AI assistant

Later I can build graphs to visually see how am i progressing, this can be cool side project.

@BenjDicken this is exactly the thing I have been thinking about recently, I don't want to use something heavy like VS Code anymore, I need a tool to see diff and easy file navigation and then just run coding agents in separate tmux

[Shaik Saifuddin @atushaik]

@msfeldstein what's the benefit of this? why not use a subagent in same session?
