For all the talk about context engineering, it's surprising that there don't seem to be any agentic software engineering tools that let me... engineer mey context

@DiscountedTr If you’re going to be a self-proclaimed shit-post account, you could at least aim to not be a C-tier shit-poster

[Shawn Morel @strangemonad]

@dexhorthy You’re absolutely right!

@design_proteins Wha do you like about it?

[Shawn Morel @strangemonad]

@dexhorthy Hot take but I think it’s here to stay. my prediction is shell capability and container systems. Waaay lower overhead than oci containers, more like BSD jails or plan9 fs protocol

[Shawn Morel @strangemonad]

@thdxr Yes-ish but if it moves to something like eg SQLite and there’s a way to grep the contents that’s fine (eg similar to how I can use the git cli to find stuff in the packed objects)

@thdxr @jacobmparis What about a short onboarding screen just like when you plug in a new usb keyboard on macOS - “press shift enter. Now press cmd enter. You’re all set!”

@LukeParkerDev @aspiredotdev Love it!

@LukeParkerDev @opencode @aspiredotdev @davidfowl I'd be curious your thoughts about some of the comments I left ;) I included an example plugin that, while no perfect, re-using the ai-sdk instrumentation emits otel gen-ai sem-conv spans that eval vendors like langfuse, braintrust, etc can present rich views for.

@HannesStaerk How do you think you might used this to update your training set sampling (if at all)?

@thdxr With a whole week to spare too. My guess is that my Dec usage was actually lower than Nov but I have no great way to compare.

[Shawn Morel @strangemonad]

@thdxr Hold my drink. Dec isn’t done yet

@jeffreyhuber @0xblacklight That’s more or less the OG take on ai from the 1950s. What do you think is different now?

[Shawn Morel @strangemonad]

@jeffreyhuber @dexhorthy Context overwhelming.

[Shawn Morel @strangemonad]

@charliermarsh Still a few blockers for us around meta classes and generics but can’t wait to be able to switch.
