Developers will always hate to ask the system owner for changes to permissions don’t think you can just fix that.

If the company has enough grc red tape, integrating with slack can become almost impossible I can imagine

Yeah that’s what they try to do with the latest coding agents sub agents which only have the context they need etc. but atm it’s too much work to manage contexts at that level

A developer can blast millions of tokens in minutes. When you have a context size of 250k that’s just 4 queries. But with tool usage and subsequent calls etc it can easily just do many millions in one request

But if you just ask a question or something it’ll take a while to spend a million tokens…

Grok can ingest images and do analysis in real time. But yeah it's going to be real hard for it to relate that image to a current event.

Yeah, mail is the primary source of this.

Once communication with my customers moved to teams. I've had a very hard time to find historical agreements and decisions.

I try very hard to create a robust system for ADR logging now. And not just for system architecture. But for all decisions and agreements in my projects and across changes.

I think the argument is that clippy would totally have done that if it was an option back then.

Agreed, I know Networks, requests, protocols, Auth flow etc but is been years since I actually coded stuff

This is magical to me.

I love cursor, I use it to deploy docker packages and fix npm issues etc too :p

I use some guardrails, like SonarQube as static code analyzer and of course some default linters. Checks and balances

I often find myself clearing the context when dealing with llms to get a fresh take. Often it just has so much context reinforcing its previous decisions.

Not sure if the author tried to just start a new thread. But anyway, for now you always need to keep an eye on these things and manage it if it follows red herrings or ends up in some logical loop

Sidenote : newlines is one thing tat can be quite tricky for llms in general.
