@championswimmer Either Claude will need to fix the harness or I need to get better at my prompts.

[Lenvin Gonsalves @lenvingonsalves]

@championswimmer It did work great when I had to build a knowledge base and had spawned 10 sub agents to summarise a few documents and then the lead agent read the docs and had all the context needed.

>what do you think of the claude codebase?

brother, i'm not even reading my own code anymore. what makes you think i'm going to read someone else's?

[Lenvin Gonsalves @lenvingonsalves]

@SwapAgarwal Would love to join you on this

My bro keeps raising JIRA tickets but nothing gets moved to done.

I don't really understand this shaming culture around people sharing what they learn

Posts like this are valuable. They show real life mistakes. And others can learn from these mistakes

I'm a big advocate for learning in public, but this kind of reaction is exactly why people hesitate to share things online

They're afraid of being judged

We should be encouraging more openness, not discouraging it

@harsh_vardhhan Even I feel the same every now and then. But the fact tha openAI is doubling their head count and Anthropic has partnered with some service companies to deploy their AI is keeping me sane.

@trq212 waiting!

@garrytan Ive used this, only the CEO mode is cool, there is a HUGE drift when actually implementing what is planned, only 30% of it was implemented, rest was just forgotten

🌸🌸 RIP Wild Planet (2019–2025)🌸🌸
You made millions of kids smile and even scared off a few monkeys. You'll be missed. 💔

It is the same skill that made mainstream news when it saved a girl in Uttar Pradesh from monkeys last year.

> Loved by 400k+ monthly users.
> Used over 80k times everyday.
> Had 45k+ ratings(probably the highest ever on Alexa)

Became the go-to app for lakhs of young parents for a screen-free, fun time with their toddlers.

Today, I've pulled the plug 🔌 🛑

Not for lack of love or usage;

But purely because of @AmazonAlexaIN's inability to sustain and support creators within its own ecosystem.

I'll move on.

But I feel bad for all those parents, children and ecosystem partners (like myself) that Amazon has let down (or is in the process of letting down anyway!).

In my view, what remains today is a skeleton of a past. Alexa's current tech is passé, and with LLMs in play, the future belongs elsewhere.

Alexa+ is Amazon's next big bet.

But Amazon Alexa (in India) has some serious #leadership, #ProductCulture, and execution #gaps to fill if it's even mildly serious about competing with OpenAI or Google.

Lastly,
To everyone who ever said: "Alexa, open Wild Planet";

Thank you for letting it be part of your home. You made it what it was. And we'll never forget that. 🙏

Peace ✌️

@Rahuligma Heard @Tesla is hiring data engineers

[Lenvin Gonsalves @lenvingonsalves]

@amuldotexe Along with that, one should have the discipline to work towards it for long period.. in my case I keep changing the “what to do next” 🥹

[Lenvin Gonsalves @lenvingonsalves]

Next was reading through the codebase. Luckily most Nodejs are written in JavaScript. So you don’t need C knowledge to get started. Finally, I added console logs and then built a repository. Make sure you use Ninja to accelerate the build times, as it takes a long time without it

[Lenvin Gonsalves @lenvingonsalves]

For almost three years, I have worked exclusively using Nodejs and wanted to contribute to it. To know how and what I contributed, see the thread below 👀🧵👇.

[Lenvin Gonsalves @lenvingonsalves]

I found the issue I would work on, but I didn’t have the context/information to make me successful. The best bet was to read through the problems, find any other linked issues, and ask for pointers from the collaborators. (In my case, others already asked questions)
