... occasional head in the clouds. Software (everything .NET). Not an F5 type of person apparently.

@mikko It was Al Gore’s first invention. He knew he it would play a special role in this internet thing

@gvanrossum In my understanding a more complex orchestration layer with boatloads of logic to gather, create, manage, store, condense context. Has builtin tools and logic for its task (for example, to index a codebase if it's a coding agent).

@eastdakota Based on my experience, “asking the right questions”, “understanding problems”, “understanding (business) problems”, “distinguishing between problem and symptom” hasn’t been affected that much if any?

@Alan_Couzens While I would agree that optical hrv data is trash compared to (spot) strap measurements, recent data with the elevate v5 sensor hrv data in my case offers fairly good correlation to other health metrics (for example blood pressure). Plus advantage of not being spot check.

@mkristensen @EricSHaley @JamesMontemagno I hope it's not the Clippy ActiveX :)

@mkristensen Gemini 3 Flash Pre best bang for buck for me.

@hjluks I was always sceptical about wearables generating hrv data. But (I own a @Garmin watch with Elevate v5 sensor) the correlation with other (medical/established) health metrics absolutely positively surprised me. I trust the data the watch collects. Valuable for training & health.

@pierceboggan @code The default keyboard shortcuts esp with agent mode are … suboptimal would be a euphemism.

I enjoy working with coding agents, and they speed up several of my tasks (some of which I totally enjoyed doing, and some of which I never enjoyed having to do) tremendously, I consider them very helpful. But boy, they have zero understanding, and they don't even know so often.

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

@mkristensen Were that completely non-obvious issues which are really hard to get right? I suppose you get the obvious and not so obvious stuff quite right by yourself.

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

I might be wrong but there is a huge difference between AI being smart enough to displace lots of jobs (99% of jobs are basic 90+% of the time) and AI becoming way smarter than humans. I see the first one arriving but ... yes, AI is quick and has more and more context, but that doesn't fix the fact ... it often seems to lack understanding. It gets better and better at tasks where knowledge leads to outcomes. Knowledge and understanding are two different things. Coding agents have very quickly gotten way better at the knowledge part. For me they still seem to be lacking or stagnating in the understanding part.

Hey @GeminiApp can you pls add an option to turn a temporary chat into a normal one? I often start chats which I intended to dispose but turn out to be super interesting.
A button to export a full chat to markdown would be cool but I guess that's being excluded intentionally?

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

@DamianEdwards @kzu Mine has support for this while (hopefully) being fairly defensive about what to delete (it should validate the tfm).

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

@ibuildthecloud @davidfowl You can also run the dashboard directly from the nuget package.

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

@DamianEdwards The tool does full msbuild property evaluation and (depending the targets are in the vs install) als cleans framework style. I was never happy with dotnet clean

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

@DamianEdwards I also have a command line app for cleaning (plus some additional commands) .NET/msbuild projects https://t.co/ShF01qwjVB Does evaluate the msbuild properties.

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

@DamianEdwards @kzu Does your tool clean old tfms after you upgrade? So I upgrade my project to net10.0 and all the old net8.0 and net9.0 won’t get cleaned (at least not by dotnet clean)

[Daniel Losch @cloudsider]

Most stuff from the dotnet/aspnetcore/runtime/aspire repos have dedicated artifacts directories which are not below bin. Maybe because they know, once you have the build output it’s nontrivial to get rid of it. Or after you upgrade the tfm, good luck cleaning the obsolete folders.

@unusual_whales Maybe Taylor Swift actually wrote Opalite as an ode to vibe coding … „eating out of the trash“
