Codex is quite consistent at reading AGENTS.md and following instructions in it.

I love Claude, but it seems to regularly just ignore things in CLAUDE.md even with not much else in its context window. Is it something that could be fixed, @bcherny ?

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@zillow Done. Hope this can be resolved soon. This is our first time using Zillow rental manager - it was great up until this point, but now it has become a dreadful experience.

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@zillow, what the heck?! - you disabled my rental manager account right while I'm trying to finalize a lease. This is a pretty terrible experience and timing. (and no, I don't have a ticket, I can't even file one, have emailed support).

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

Such a dreadful experience, @zillow. Even trying to file a ticket redirects me to this. Email resulted in no response at all. Argh. No warning or email notification about this - was working 1hr ago, and now suddenly I can't access any properties, even ones with active leases.

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@CesarDielo Definitely - any time.

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@CesarDielo So sorry... Twitter has clearly gone absolutely bonkers :( it was a highlight of my career to work with you - huge best wishes for whatever is next - may the bananas overflow 🍌💙💙

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@kevinb9n @oldJavaGuy Oh, not at all :)

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@herval I'm considering a complete social media purge. The negativity is almost overwhelming. While it may be a reflection of reality, I'm starting to think I'd prefer to stick my head in the sand intentionally... maybe into an underground lit sand cave with selective things to read :)

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

@kenstruys @PublicStorage omg :( That's horrible.

Great unsolved problems in computer science #3234: retaining screen layout and arrangement on MacOS when plugging and unplugging multiple monitors...

Eghh... Sorry that the wild ride continues for #tweeps :( I'll gladly help with referrals / references etc, feel free to poke me any time.

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

It's been a wild ride for #tweeps over the last few months. Sending love and hoping everything will at least settle down a bit now. Proudly wearing this shirt to work today. #twitterdiaspora 💙 💙

@danbucholtz I interviewed at one major public company for a distinguished engineer role where there was still one leetcodish coding round. Everywhere else I've interviewed for principal+, no coding interviews.

Ummm.. UK u ok?

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]

#google #grad TL;DR: support with high confidence.

@joseeight Companies seem to want to save money by halving the number of desks / reducing office space, while also freaking out about the unsurprising productivity impact of people working in random locations at different times and no longer being able to easily collaborate.

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

Listening on Bloomberg how challenging it is to get people back to the office... and I'm thinking to myself, I just need a permanently assigned desk.

@mad_typist Congrats & welcome!

[threads.net/@cairndubh @brianduff]
