> OpenAI, for example, thought their sandboxes were good enough. As their AIs got more and more advanced, they kept proving them wrong - sandbox after sandbox.

Were their sandboxes in-process with the harness? Were they actually better than something like bubblewrap or even docker?

Same... That was definitely a moan.

Use an adblocker?

That's what I do and why I don't even know what brooklinen is.

Qwen 3.8 on xhigh defaulr needs 128k context minimum or you'll spend most of your time compacting context.

Also make sure you use the instruct temperatures/etc for implementation.

So towards the end it was like it went away?!

Scrappy codebases is a very kind way to put it.

So that the AI model that generated code can get proper credit and we'll know to use (or not use it) next time.

I'll consider avoiding jj because of this, personally.

No, you need to use -nw with emacs to make it apples to apples. Then it's emacs 0m0.095s vs nvim 0m0.057s:

    $ time nvim -es --cmd 'vim.cmd("q")'

    real 0m0.057s
    user 0m0.016s
    sys 0m0.017s

    $ time emacs -Q -e kill-emacs

    real 0m0.230s
    user 0m0.165s
    sys 0m0.064s

    $ time emacs -nw -Q -e kill-emacs

    real 0m0.095s
    user 0m0.057s
     sys 0m0.017s

Over 15 years I've worked both in large corporations in cross-functional teams, small teams (5-10) at small to medium companies, and alone as a freelancer taking on projects across many different technologies. My focus in the past few years has been on being a force multiplier for my team and increasing predictability, stability, and developer enjoyment of output. I'm also a big proponent of mentoring and frequently create tech talks from the daily work notes I take so that the lessons from any challenges I face benefit not only me, but my team as well.

My preference is functional languages and companies that use Nix and/or NixOS, but it's more important to have a healthy company and team than any specific technology.

I also do Parkour in my free time, and I have given lessons to coworkers in the past who are interested :)

> Do. Not. Break. Workflows. Software that doesn't understand this principle is something I don't trust not to break itself when its developers decide to get cute.

What use would magit be if it presented the exact same interface as `git rebase`?

Do you know what it would lose?

> Did I stop and read the docs to figure out how it wanted me to rebase in this brave new world? Hell no.

I suppose you don't since you didn't read the docs.

Why try it in the first place if you expected it to be the exact same?

> Forced error handling semantics so that unhappy paths are easily enumerated

They could have just added pattern matching and exhaustivity checking though, right?
