@thdxr Why can’t you just have an agent doing this ? Why a person?

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

I wanna see the global Git commit graph overlaid on Claude’s uptime, I bet it’s a 1:1 correlation

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

My (unproven) hypothesis would be that you could write the current in-flight tasks to disk and read them back on start up to kick them back off

Things you lose with this would be scheduled / future / cron, but that’s not my goal

I don’t need all the connections & polling for simple job retries. Database is always the bottleneck in prod. Elixir systems I’ve worked on. I think a stupid simple retry would serve most use cases

Oban is great and when the needs dictate the move to it, I’d move to it. It just seems there’s room for a smaller, simpler starting point

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

I’ve always felt like for simple job / function retry there was a lighter dep. you could bring than Oban

I think I can finally vibe code it now

All OTP primitives and file system….here goes nothin

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

I don't even use my editor anymore. It's just Claude and the GitHub diff window

@sean_moriarity Have you seen https://t.co/b1y0JwUmD9 ?

@josevalim Wow! Congratulations, and best of luck on the journey ahead

Codebase architecture is a skill that is never taught and yet it's now more valuable than ever.

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

AI is amazing at writing code. Amazing.

It's awful, and I mean awful, at organizing code

It makes sense when you know AI is just a _really good_ next word predictor

@JokingRajat What if you folded me into the closed beta 🫣

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

Anybody gotten a decent system to "compose" claude slash commands? Something like "do feature [x]. /test /format /commit /open-pr

TOON is premature optimization

@bcardarella @ziglang @elixirlang Claude Code without Tidewave is a nightmare

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

@mmmykolas @form Yes, checkbox + label can absolutely be styled to work with strictly the form

In practice, I find few devs I've worked with know you can style labels like that ;)

HexDocs over swagger for public REST api documentation? Good Idea? bad idea?

Claude fails to add some code comments and loses its mind 😭

[John Elm Labs @JohnElmLabs]

@bcardarella I think you'd benefit from https://t.co/g4qpghyghg -- Converts html to markdown & can execute JS, which is good for stuff like Apple's docs.

Apple docs can also be read by https://t.co/9v0xecfR0q MCP server
