@thdxr Most swe at a happy hour

@simonw @aleksizy Haha just realized I replied to a 2023 message. Well it stands.

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@simonw @aleksizy Same. At least the "too excited to sleep" feeling from earlier in the year has faded. That was exhausting.

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@SpencerHakimian Maybe Obama named him.

@ramit Don't get married if you can't discuss money. Having this conversation itself, regardless of the outcome, is a good pre marriage test of your ability to communicate and tackle a difficult thing together. Couples should embrace not shy away from such challenges pre marriage.

@JV_today_ @ramit Same

@simonw The next wave of tools will be the ones that intelligently spread capacity across different providers and models, based on cost and abilities. Because all these accounts are getting hard to manage.

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@DeerwoodRealty True haha, if it were my mom I'd slog through it.

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@gwenshap So true, it writes tests like this all the time. Also I've tried to make it test my site, like design automated tests using ai as qa, and it's very bad at that. Fails the test because it forgot to bring up the server. Passes the test when it should fail.

@simonw @prem_k @RihardJarc Yeah it was that exact week. My (very large) company even sent out a company wide email telling everyone to update immediately.

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@simonw @prem_k @RihardJarc But it was the week that codex cli had a message saying you must upgrade or this will stop working. So everyone who ever installed including corporations forced an update. Do those get tracked differently than installs? I didn't think so?

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@gdb That's wonderful. How about supporting Windows for all these new features?

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@Teknium New user. Seems like you first have to top up with $10?

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@DeerwoodRealty Yes. Like if you saw ... romanian? you could read it but wouldn't know what it meant?

@copyconstruct @clairevo that sprawl takes much more time. The sprawl compounds and becomes harder to unwind the larger it is in the first place. Especially if it crosses boundaries like api/schema/model etc.

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@copyconstruct @clairevo Yeah. What I find is I do a big push for work, medium sized task, and the code "sprawls". Gets big, messy, buggy.

Then I spend quite a bit of time patiently massaging it back to good code. This is fine, but as a result I'm not going to give it a huge task as fixing ...

[Shimona @shimonkey]

@copyconstruct So true. I used to write like one line, but it was a good line.
