@jasonlk "Resolve a ticket" is in a particular niche where you have really high volume but also very discrete events that are worth paying for. Is the generalized form of this "one human-initiated session"? What about offline processing?

[Joel @yoelsays]

@rakyll Reuse is just as much about correctness as it is about speed to type characters.

@GergelyOrosz We need a language similar to API design but for deciding where my agent ends and yours begins. Clearly a domain-specific prompt + context fetching layer is valuable in many cases.

@paularambles 💯 how you do anything is how you do everything

[Joel @yoelsays]

@jaykreps I'd guess it really want a very dense local network concentration.

Just launched the most significant open source project of my career, very excited!

Eraser diagrams is an end-to-end tool for generating diagrams with the help of LLMs (or fully programatically, if you put in some work!).

[Joel @yoelsays]

The stock library supports a wide array of visual options (borders, colors, alignment, our lovely watercolor style) and custom color palettes so that you can refer to "brand-blue-5" in your diagrams and have it just work.

[Joel @yoelsays]

For deeper customization, you can even define your own components; they're just HTML + CSS + JSON Schema. If it conforms to the diagramming protocol, it'll plug right in - just refer to the component by tag in your diagram.

The worst thing about agents is that they make you a worse writer because they accept and (pretend to) understand sloppy, lazy requests that you'd be embarrassed to send to a colleague.

@paulg No, see sales is WYDITM. GTM is just how you get there.

[Joel @yoelsays]

@benhylak Very cool, congrats

[Joel @yoelsays]

@matthewstoller There's also an interesting private-sphere parallel here.

[Joel @yoelsays]

@Vtrivedy10 the next level is just whether there's a uniform API for the shape of those improvements. that would be the generalized harness.
