When you bring the *person* into every discussion, all sides lock up. Enough of that shit.

Opus 4.7 seems better overall, but holy smokes the context rot problem is back with a vengance.

I miss having an ultra long thread with 4.6 when working on similar, smaller things.

I would not have expected this much of a difference in mental load! Feels like babysitting.

@levie Simple frame of mind I’ve used a few times is - what happens if every agreement is constantly reviewed for potential issues? Right now, almost all agreements are signed and thrown in a folder and are never looked at again. Legal needs explodes if even a small fraction is.

@dmosher @alexcarp_me This is the push I needed to check Pi out.

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@ZachAbramowitz @Codie_Sanchez @zackbshapiro This was my first thought as well. Entirely possible, but would be a bit surprising.

@wesbos I have stuck with a 14 for years because of this exact problem. I’d love to go 16 but when I work on flights a 14 is already a bit too big. If we can ever get a great iPad dev setup, I’d probably switch.

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@andrewarruda Yep

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@scottastevenson And then what happens if *every* contract's obligations are reviewed in realtime... The downstream effects get insane quite quickly.

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@rlj_law @zackbshapiro Thank you for articulating my reaction so well. The article is great, regardless of how it was typed.

Slop is such a perfect word for the useless crap that a model *can* produce, I’ll be sad if it turns into the word we label everything generated with.

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

Great framing of the issue

In 2013, when government tried mass domestic surveillance, the tech industry responded with HTTPS everywhere.

In 2026:

@michaelkoper Great. Will give it a shot and see if it fits for us.

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@michaelkoper Same - I migrated our db to CrunchyData.

I'm prioritizing db connection latency with alternatives. Render is the winner so far, I can locate both in US-East-1.

On a 2-on-1, the defenseman covers the pass.

@TomaOfficer Absolutely. They can go off the rails much faster than you’d expect. I find managing the timing of compaction helps quite a bit.

Starting new threads after planning is a big help too.

But as the models and harnesses keep improving, it matters less and less.

@adamwathan FYI - Got a 500 error on the wait list signup

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@emo_eth @charlieholtz @Shpigford Wow - this worked. That linebreak was the issue.

Still have the auth loop without the env var, but I'm up and running! Thanks @emo_eth

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@charlieholtz @Shpigford Also should note that for me, setting the env var does not work.

Latest macOS, latest version of Conductor. Tried using the packaged Claude to log in, and it worked but that authorization wasnt used inside Conductor. Reinstalling didn’t work.

Any ideas?

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

@charlieholtz @Shpigford I'm running into this as well

[Blaine Korte @bkorte]

Damn. Stuck in a @conductor_build auth loop. Reinstalling does nothing.
