From reading the readme, it looks like superseded decisions are not added to context.
> Next session, the relevant lines are added to Claude's context.
At least that's how I interpret it? If it is adding superseded decisions, that does seem bad.

Most businesses are totally fine if they have a few hours of downtime. More uptime is better, but treating an outage like a disaster or an e-commerce site like a power plant is more about software engineer egos than business or customer needs.
If AWS is down, most businesses on AWS are also down, and it’s mostly fine for those businesses.

Agreed, this was delightful to read! I really appreciated how the author was open about naivety and blind spots. It made the contrast more apparent when they learned things. I'd love to read more by this person.

Why’s Poignant Guide To Ruby is also in this vein, though a bit weirder.

Why would HR IT have worse software developers than other industries?

He also helped write yarn, an alternative client to the official npm one.

FWIW the comment you're calling out here is four years old: https://github.com/npm/npm/blame/d3095ff20b8ea01e7fbf93a4a69..., before npm inc was formed.
The correctMkdir change seems more recent, but not really related to that specific comment.

Yours.co | Lead Software Developer | ONSITE Utah http://yours.co
Yours.co is looking for a software developer to build and lead a small team of two or three other developers in building their platform for offline backup of cloud storage.
You will be the head of software development at Yours.co and one of the first full-time software hires. You’ll have the opportunity to build a team, establish a process, pick a tech stack, and help settle the age old question of whether to use tabs, spaces, or extra semi colons to indent lines. This is a chance to create the culture you want and grow as a developer and person.
Because the team is relatively small, this role will involve lots of coding with some management sprinkled on top. Your main job is to build great software through your own efforts and the efforts of your team.
We are not looking for a rock star ninja unicorn sorceress code-crushing 100x developer-god. Real human beings only please.
This is an on-site position in American Fork, UT.
