I write software and build keyboards.

@ibuildthecloud “The last keyboard you’ll ever need”

@ibuildthecloud How do we verify any of this stuff? It’s feelings all the way down

@jeremyphoward @karpathy The money is just too good. 🫠

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

Man paid the most at the pump that I've paid for gas in my entire life. Thanks Obama!

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@ibuildthecloud Funny you mentioned that. Started building my own for fun

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@badlogicgames Haiku with thinking

@ibuildthecloud Not just the memes? False advertising

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@theo I’m wrapping my tui in tuis

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@ibuildthecloud Guess the only thing to do is build your own. I had a pretty squire rust one I vibed like 2 months ago I haven’t touched in a while

@steipete I’m a little worried how I’ve built using channels is going to be flagged

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@bcherny can you hook me up with a /sonnet and /haiku to drop the session down to that model for the proceeding work? Like /haiku poll deployment until pipeline is done

Claude Channels was the missing piece for me, the killer app. With it, I was able to make a super harness that lets me run a central hub and coordinate against a bunch of different Claudes (or Pi's with custom extensions) doing different roles like PR review, developer, and deployer. It just works seamlessly. Credit due to Gastown, Openclaw and the rest of those super harnesses that paved the road here.

@badlogicgames @aadishvdotdev That stinks. Apprenticeships would be a fun evolution of our craft. Don't need the teaching but if you need the help reach out.

I once had a developer who was obviously using AI in the interview. They were answering questions by glancing at the screen to the left of them constantly. Their eyes were shifting over and they were reading very mechanically. When I called them on it they got offended and immediately left the interview. It was one of the bizarre interviews I ever had. I feel bad as I wasn't trying to get them to admit that they were using AI. What I was trying to do was let them know that it was really obvious they were using AI so maybe they would dial it back a bit. This was more of a personality interview and not meant to really be something they had to pass with a 100% grade. Crazy times.

@badlogicgames My only ask is to make the gather and upload be separate so it’s easy for us to inspect.

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@badlogicgames @mattzcarey Vibes the code implementation - the old “one more prompt”

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@bcherny Well damn. Now I have no excuse to not finish the shelves I’ve been building

[Zach Taylor @zachncst]

@ibuildthecloud I’ve always liked nix but when I tried to write it by hand it hurt. The language never made sense and I could never source it and trace it. But with ai. It’s so easy and it just nails it. Makes me want to write more Haskell with ai
