My life’s work: @tryinstrument

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

hey, I made this for your agent: https://t.co/qxsFBoX4yP

It's a CLI/skill that your agent uses to keep copies of code it references, locally. OSS deps, private repos, or other folders

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

Has anyone else spent their adult life telling non-tech friends to blame THE SOFTWARE not THEMSELVES?

“I must have clicked too fast”

No, it’s not your fault, they built it poorly.

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@flyosity Planning to never fold mine

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

The last thing it built: a launchd job on my Mac. On the 1st of every month it reads 2 GB off the drive and notifies me if it's under 400 MB/s.

My Time Machine backups stopped working, so I assumed my Samsung T7 was dead and bought a $200 replacement.

On a lark, I told Claude the problem. It asked me to swap ports, swap cables, plug it into my Windows PC so it could run Samsung's tools.

Formatted and fixed the issue.

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

So Claude paid for my $200 max subscription this month

@shortdiv I feel the same way. Bonkers to me that many harnesses expire and delete old ones

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@nfarina To be replaced by MagStrip on v2 that can also hold a pencil

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

tell me you're coding with agents without telling me you're coding with agents

Northwind is the Enron of AI

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@SamuelBeek FYI that’s a studio

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@arjunram Yeah that’s what I am wondering. Two slice teams are certainly interesting

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

Linear and Jira are going to need an Allbirds level pivot to survive

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@arjunram Perhaps! Just canceled our Linear because it was just too cumbersome

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@fforres Assumed the same, but when I sampled it fseventsd was ~2% CPU. The real issue was every agent's checks sizing themselves to the whole machine.

Capping turbo concurrency, GOMAXPROCS and vitest workers, and swapping ESLint for oxlint, fixed it.

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

Am I the only one who didn’t realize this case covers the front screen?

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@ftrain holy shit yes

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@flyosity looked for one on amazon and

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

Eventually, no action a user takes on a computer will fail.

Binary error states will be replaced by compromises and workarounds or else the computer will feel broken

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

@Easy_E Sol. More just frustrated their harness isn't gracefully handling and retrying upstream errors like this

[Jeremy Mack @mutewinter]

trying codex for 5 minutes instead of claude
