everything on iOS is just a safari skin

you would be amazed at the amount of middle managers who keep failing upwards in organizations like Amazon

"Git is too hard" is never a good argument to promote the use of a different tool. I use git on the terminal exclusively, never had an issue amending a commit or rebasing a branch, or even dealing with conflict resolution most of the time I just use one of the automatic strategies.

I worked with SVN and I hated it, merging branches and dealing with conflict resolution on SVN was like getting stepped on the balls

I used to work at Amazon, 3-day RTO was not nice but tolerable, 5-day RTO made half of our senior staff leave. my commute to the office wasn't so bad, but my friends had to drive 1+ hours to the office and then pay $26/day for parking which you only get 50% reimbursed.

Amazon touts "frugality" as one of their core tenets but its hard to reconcile frugality with all the expenses of going to the office.

what does "retrofitting" git implies? I am confused by the agent-specific systems bit.

There is no examples or documentation on `CustomLLM` the README file has examples on `SystemLLM` and `OpenaiLLM` but there's no way for us to know if we need to bring in guff files, ollama, hugginface, etc.

Great work! does the CLI support clipboard operations like MacOS' `pbcopy` and `pbpaste` ? I've added it to my stars to keep and eye on the project, GTK4 and wayland support makes it rather futureproof IMO

that is a thing that started under Nadella's leadership, during the 90s it was a different story.

linux compat would've been nice

I was a wave user, barely had any friends in it, but it felt truly revolutionary back then. This started my disillusionment with Google and their products.

Same thing is happening to me this week at Amazon, I'm just not writing a post about it

Amazon likes to force their devs into full stack roles, like they'll hire you for a frontend role and you'll end up writing java. Some teams do recognize the need for specialization, but generally speaking UI at amazon is an afterthought.

Good riddance, there's too many layers of management for a company that touts "It's always day 1", and once you become a manager you can only fail upwards.
