compassionate human by night, agentic pollenator by day, building experimental tooling to make humans happier, generally in Rails

@heypetar lets hope! the algo is definitely tuned for it at this point

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@P_Abuo looking back at that moment where the choice was made offers amazing insight into oneself

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

the short version is that the benchmark/judges are derived from agent sessions and PRs that I do in my day-to-day work. i've got a backlog of ideas of how to evolve the harness, and those slowly trickle in, along with other ideas that frontier models cook up.

the harness anatomy is a mix of:
- docker container
- various llm providers (claude, codex, grok, ...)
- AGENTS.md
- random tools installed
- agentic workflows handled via https://t.co/QU44VRkJKI

adding more to it every day. i'd like to try and steer it towards more of an "OpenHarness" where people can share things freely -- any ideas?

@josefandre_ all teslas make a right-hand turn at the same time

@DariaWithAI aitldr is a nice companion to techmeme -- bookmarked!

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

look no further, my timeline is hiring!

we're looking for:

- solo entrepreneurs with vibe coded apps
- building a moonshot idea
- increasing gross world happiness
- starting to drown in agentic debt
- balancing forward progress against burnour

let's connect a build a tribe!

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@heypetar nice traction! can't lie, that timeline post hooked my attention

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@heypetar right now, a lot of UAT improvements. that tool needs to be used on actual sites in the wild, and both claude/codex like to come back and say "it worked! it found a bunch of APIs in use" and then it turns out those were fibs. so de-fibbing, mostly.

@Seanwvibedev https://t.co/pVVm4VcL2J -- like greasemonkey, but for agents

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@c0nst the shop i spend the most time in is so packed with tools you can barely turn around. sounds like a dream!

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@nrol_ling either way, its definitely a write-off

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@MiguelriosEN love it! doing something very similar, and having it show all screens in a https://t.co/uMl8byNQJy canvas. something about being about to look at the pixels settles the mind

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@rikarends this is really cool! would love to see heatmaps around churn, cyclomatic complexity, and other stuff that might give it some nice shading for wall candy

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@delali spec formatting -- does it follow actual domain patterns, or is it tracking more closely to if/else blocks in the code. the latter gets sent back into the loop.

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@GrantSlatton i'll vibe you

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@JasperLort @impactdrones neal stephenson's diamond age comes to mind

[rick @rickjoyrudder]

@MartinTale awesome, keep it up!

@nrol_ling glucose vs LNG, who can say which fuel source is cheaper in the long run
