You write skills, prompts, and hooks to make them obey. They will obey.

Testing is not a formality. In fact, it's better and easier than ever. Tell your agents to develop your code-base with Red-Green-Refactor Test-driven development. Write failing tests first and run them, then write the code to make the tests pass, then refactor the code as needed. I used to hate writing tests before, but now that I can offload that (and the development, honestly) to AI, it's nothing to keep up with it. Your codebase quality will increase with TDD, because it will reduce the number of things that inadvertently break during updates. Things will break loudly and can be easily fixed (again, by AI) before shipping. If something does manage to get through, add more tests to cover it for next time.

This actually makes the LLMs better at coding as well. They can verify their own results and iterate with far less manual validation.

I do miss the golden age of forums, before centralized general-purpose sites like Digg and Reddit.

If it's free, you are the product. Not saying it's not possible, it's just unlikely to happen, unfortunately.

I was able to catch the last solar eclipse in the US, and it was amazing. I'm a little sad I won't be able to catch this one, especially in Mallorca. Seeing the eclipse low in the sky, an hour before sunset. That has got to be a phenomenal view.

I think this tool is super neat. I love the shadow simulation for the terrain. Very well done!

Can we get Bonzai Buddy next, complete with spyware? This is really cool. Any way to make it work with local models without using Claude Code in local mode?
