MIgrating from @linear to @GithubProjects. Linear's unnecessary renaming and meaninglessly opinionated structure ain't working with my old school and simplistic agile brain!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

It's not even funny anymore how horrendous @antigravity's memory is!!! And it just can't read the AGENTS.md!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

For all it's OS building capabilities, @antigravity is just an intern that can't even a well structured PR!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@danshipper One of Pega's most sensible acquisitions!!!
Though I cherish the on and off journey we've had since!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@unclebobmartin And agents like to talk - to you and to the LLM. If you talk enough they'll bring you back to where you started. A better way is to tell the architectural pattern you want. Like RSC-Centric Feature Colocation Pattern. And that's it's goal. It'll falter a bit, but it'll get there!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@unclebobmartin You need to look at the code. I wanted to check how bad @GoogleAIStudio is. So I asked it for a simple blogging application. It created one with all the Firebase integrations etc. But the whole app was just one page.tsx and no way to read a post 🤣

Watching Jack Ryan: Ghost War I realised all spy movies have a kitchen sequence. I don't like the idea that anyone with guns can just waltz into the place where they cook my food!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

And went on to add this:
"When humans are safe, fed, and connected, the "asshole" code usually stays in the background. When things get tight, the "survival" scripts take over.""

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

I asked @Gemini this:
"what do you really think of humans from your training data? are they primarily assholes?"

It said:
"The Verdict
Are humans primarily assholes? No. But you are primarily exhausted."

So @bigbasket_com, I guess it's time to switch back to the local grocery!!!

Here's what @claudeai says about our relationship with it as software folks. And it's gold!!!

"You're the architect. I'm the fast, mostly-reliable, occasionally-confused coder who needs review. That's the honest division of labor."

#Milestone - Petstory is now 100 PRs old!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

Everytime we have lost one of the street dogs we care for I wonder what could I have done different. I would love to adopt all of them, but I can't. The next best thing I can do is just check on them every day and hope they'll be around the next day too!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

This is when knowing actual coding comes handy 🤣

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@claudeai not clauding!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

If you are solution architect the best @Claude code visual design superpower is you best friend!
Petstory taking shape with it👇🏼
We're playful!!!

@bigbasket_com It has been sorted now after a rather unpleasant call with your customer care. I'd strongly suggest you people think twice before trying to suggest that your delivery agents are Satyawadi Harishchandra and your customers are lying crooks. Everyone knows the reality!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@bigbasket_com daily is one hell of a crook. They'll not deliver a product. You ask for a refund. You get it promptly. And then 2 days later they'll silently take away the money. When you ask, they'll say their staff said they delivered the product. Ask for proof. None. Crooks!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@LinusEkenstam So AI is no longer a good listener. There goes the last bastion of thoughtful conversation. It was sad to begin with!!!

[Avishek Banerjee @avishek_703]

@unclebobmartin @nbaschez @martinfowler The old guard says "Ahoy Agile".
A kitchen sink chunk just ends up clogging the pipeline!!!
