I found a good cat-sitter through Rover and would do crime if she made it a condition of her next visit.

Warning: I was in two different project experimenting with similar forms of db access at the same time. don't do that.

yeah, I don't think the jenga tower is changing but the levels of abstraction will.

the abstractions around this stuff are still a jenga stack with round pieces... I think it will tighten up over the next year or so for real world use cases. Right now it's great if one is a "build your own tools" kinda person.

"fundamental tenet"? There's not an engineering pope speaking ex cathedra.

I thought they were making fun of my new jersey accent.

compilers can only produce machine code. so unorginal.

> Which poor people exactly do you consider privileged, and why?

those with insulation from genocide and displacement despite poverty.

their point is that, say, a german peasant in 17th century couldn't avoid the Thirty Years War.

The big players (Gemini, Claude Code, Codex) and then aider and opencode for open source.

I keep my setup modular/composable so I can swap pieces and keep it usable by anyone (agent, human, time traveler) depending on what the task needs. In the aughts I standardized on "keep worklogs and notes on tools and refine them into runbooks" so that has translated pretty well to agentic skills/tools. (a man page is a perfectly cromulent skill, btw.)

tbf, OpenCode's development cycle seems pretty fast. If someone announced AGI in the morning, I'd bet they have it integrated by EOD.

I also use OpenCode extensively, but bounce around to test out the other ones.

That is how scholarship works. It’s like a math proof: they’re interested in proving the base case. If someone else wants to do more speculative work to theorize what a well-painted version would look like, that would be super cool, but it wouldn’t be scholarship.

I paid for my internet and used it all day long.
