For software engineers, writing software is the new way of writing configs.
There was a million repos on GitHub called "my-configs".
It will be a million repos on GitHub called "my-apps".
Tried FSD for the first time in a cyber truck from the dealer to the Target. The driving is smooth and human like. But it hits the shopping cart shelf when it tried to park. It completely ignored the shelf and pushed the metal shelf for about half feet, leaving a scratch on the bumper. The funny part is that the truck itself is heavy so rider won’t feel anything.
I mean, I totally get it that self driving car is the future. But it doesn’t feel like the present. Because unlike AI coding, physical damage or a crash is not something we could rollback as if nothing happened.
For self driving car, I’d prefer a dumb conservative style than a half smart aggressive one.
I don't believe in workflow in AI agent skills. I believe in composition, then a one-stop solution.
Things like Superpower and the gStack are all temporary solutions. The best way is to just grab the component you need and put it together for your own solution.
We only have a coding agent right now, but we are missing a tech lead/manager agent who can hold technical architecture/roadmap for the long-term horizon.
Once we could solve the memory mechanism (more than plain text docs to store the subtleties), that would lead us to the next level of agentic engineering.
When I see something needs to do while working on something else:
Before LLM: Create a new TODO/ticket so that I don't forget about it.
After LLM: Dump the same information directly to an agent and see how far it can go.
@chrisman Ask them what the consequences should be for homeschooling parents who fail to educate children. Then ask what the consequences should be for public schools that do the same.
The difference in answers is the game.
One thing I notice during agentic coding is that since the feedback loop is much tighter now, it's much easier to identify repeated work, even if it's very abstract.
It used to be very hard because over time, we lose the feeling of those subtle feelings, and fail to identify those repeated subtleties.
But now, much easier, since the same subtle feeling just happened 5 mins ago, instead of last week.
Look at all recent product launches of Claude, I consider Anthropic as the best example of what an “AI native SASS” company looks like. Long live the SASS.
@r0ktech I bet internally setTimeout would use something like a binary tree to maintain the queue. So it’s essentially a tree sort with a big overhead on waiting the result.
Why not choose a better dependency API such as `sort()`? 🙂
