@mattpocockuk I'm on my third iteration of an AFK workflow for our documentation triage, research, edit, verification pipeline. Likely next challenge: setting guidelines and eval to determine how much research is enough.

@ClaudeDevs Nearly every Bash command run now shows this banner:

Tip: auto mode handles these prompts for you — choose "switch to auto mode" below

[Jason Stirnaman @jastirn]

@ClaudeDevs Now, how do I permanently disable auto mode?
I don't want this:

3. Yes, and switch to auto mode · auto mode handles these prompts for you

@badlogicgames "append-only" -> "Pants-L only" was the highlight

@natebjones Most LLMs are trained on it; no need to re-read it. This is the style guide we follow at https://t.co/b8HsIWlSIv

[InfluxData @InfluxDB]

Time series workloads rarely stay simple. Fleets grow, schemas get wider and sparser, query patterns shift, and the database needs to stay fast under heavier load.

#InfluxDB 3.11 is built for that reality, with a significant performance upgrade for demanding time series workloads:

• Up to 4x faster for highly selective, single-series queries
• Support for wide and ultra-sparse schemas
• More predictable performance under heavy ingest and compaction
• New Enterprise capabilities for backup and restore, bulk data import, and data management
• The Explorer UI built directly into InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise

The result: faster, more predictable performance as time series workloads grow in scale and complexity.

@_andydeng @AndrewYNg Isn't the YAML more efficient and higher fidelity than Markdown?

[Jason Stirnaman @jastirn]

@bcherny what's your approach? I assume decomposition (into skills, hooks, commands) and improving tests and checks for your code are far more helpful.

[Addy Osmani @addyosmani]

Tip: Be careful with /init. A good mental model is to treat AGENTS(.md) as a living list of codebase smells you haven't fixed yet rather than a permanent configuration.

Auto-generated AGENTS(.md) files hurt agent performance and inflate costs because they duplicate what agents can already discover. Human-written files help only when they contain non-discoverable information - tooling gotchas, non-obvidous conventions, landmines. Every other line is noise.

Beyond what to put in it, there's a structural problem worth naming: a single AGENTS(.md) at the root of your repo isn't sufficient for any codebase of real complexity.

What you actually need is a hierarchy of AGENTS(.md) files - placed at the relevant directory or module level - automatically maintained so that each agent gets context scoped precisely to the code it's working in, rather than a monolithic file that conflates concerns across the entire project.

[Jason Stirnaman @jastirn]

@ivan_brko @colemurray Yes. I tried creating a project folder that includes a https://t.co/ZOZ66oIwlo that references a plan file and the worktrees. Depending on the agent tool, they often lose track of their locations or assume the project folder is a repo.

[Jason Stirnaman @jastirn]

@ivan_brko @colemurray I've been building and using my own worktree-manager tool, but this looks appealing. Does it help with cross-repo projects--e.g. task requires work in 2 repos, where repo A depends on repo B?

@moritzkremb I enjoyed your episode on the AI Explored podcast! I'm asking my employer to purchase AI Growth Kit for me. What's the diff btwn these versions?

@BrettRichey @WoodsApe It's absolutely not made up (except for the explicit mention of "drag", which isn't a sexual or gender identity):

I have a child who identifies as LGBTQ, is politically informed, and who legitimately fears for their rights and safety if Republicans win.

[Jason Stirnaman @jastirn]

@_austbot I really enjoyed this discussion and your reminder to find the best in people. And I think ETH and SOL will both do OK.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

As we get closer to the Presidential election, it is important to remember a few things:

- Extremism is bad on both sides
- No candidate is perfect
- Every candidate has at least 1 strength
- America is better united than divided
- The news benefits when citizens argue
- Educate yourself before you vote

We live in the greatest country in the world. Who we elect to be our leader will help continue this experiment of democracy and capitalism.

It is easy to fall into the tribal nature of politics during election years. Rise above the nonsense, do your own research, and then vote who you think will be the best leader.

America’s best days can still be ahead of it 🇺🇸
