hopeless

My first thought would be that they've been hacked (or something else, like a CRM attached to their systems, has).

A bit of a bizarre post since to_sgid has existed forever to generate signed global ids. Global IDs are probably one the most powerful and underrated features of Rails but regular global ids are only supposed to be used internally (e.g. job params) and never sent to the client.

If there’s a gotcha it’s that _signed_ global ids are only signed, not encrypted, and very few people seem to know about the optimised method (globalid::Locator.locate_many) for loading a batch of global ids

What if agentic coding results in _less_ dopamine than manual coding? Because honestly I think that's more likely and jives with my experience.

There's no flow state to be achieved with AI tools (at the moment)

I think a better way question is how much damage they might inadvertently do without being evil

ah, I think it was prior to the caching actions so I'll see if I can try again today. Thanks

I'd love to see some more detailed write-up on how to switch to Warpbuild for different tech stacks. I tried a few months ago when the instructions were basically just to change the runs-on type but IIRC it failed with an error around setting up ruby (and caching it?) and there were no clear instructions on how to proceed.

I worked on agent-based systems >20 years ago, including large research projects and standardisation/interoperability work.

Ultimately, that effort failed but I don’t see any awareness of that considerable volume of work reflected in today’s use of the word “agent”. If nothing else, there was a lot of work on the use-cases and human factors.

It’s just a bit disheartening to know that so much work, by hundreds of researchers (at least), over 10+ years, has just slipped into irrelevance

yes (at least, that's my theory and experience too)

yeah, I've had Americans say 6AM EST during the summer when it's EDT

This would make a great AR app: standing at the clifftops, looking out at the empty seas, only to reveal the wrecks and stories lying underneath
