You'd have been mocked as a tinfoil hat wearer for saying this more than 18 months ago

Beyond a meme at this point

The idea here is great and I think it has a lot of legs but I think inherently people will have initial concerns with security.

Do you have plans to only allow reading mail from specific senders, and giving fine-grained control on the API side?

I would like to give this to an AI agent but only initially where I and my team can forward mail to the agent, and not give it the ability to draft and send emails on its own.

Where do you configure the allowlists?

None of it was accurate.

But boy was it beautiful.

The title of the post isn't asking HN users a question

Isn't that exactly what he did when live-streaming on X last year?

In TDD spec is converted to behaviours that can be ran as automated tests so if the logic of the code changes, it breaks the spec and in turn the tests

Whereas documentation can (inevitably) go stale with no feedback or build failures

Interestingly, this HN post is currently 3rd on Google for the query "wayback machine".

I think also very US-culture-specific.

Don't feel bad about taking time to give yourself more energy in the long run. Go for a walk or jog. Do something you enjoy to help recharge your batteries.

If you plan to continue spending time on personal projects or CV, maybe change your scenery and go to a nice cafe or similar. Maybe coworking spaces or new environments will unlock opportunities to network in ways you haven't thought of.

Keep your mind focused on the end goal and consider each step a learning opportunity.

Also, take this time to do things you might not have had the time to do before: learn a new programming language or tech stack or write that blog post you've been sitting on; you never know what doors this type of thing could open for you.

Best of luck!
