This is now the best session I've had with my custom #ai coding agent setup

I'm seriously impressed, this was days of work and iterations handled in $10 over about an hour

Used gemini-3-pro for this one because I knew that extra high-level, abstract reasoning was needed over daily coding task doer

Shouldi?

Deciding if you should do something based on a diff is a keystone concept in CI systems

This is an abstract version in @cuelang.org

oh man, forgot to include the shared dependency caches I built for veg/env when giving it to my agent, so of course it has to download them all again, blowing up my sessions layer sizes and filling my disk... at least it's limited to colima's disk and I can still work

@simonwillison.net @timkellogg.me @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social

what if we make (maybe there is?) a marathon benchmark of some sort, like how long can your agent remain coherent while performing related and follow on tasks

we all do that "just this one little more thing" since before ai, measure it
yeah, since I do that, a lot of my session look like this ( 50/50, 50/50, 99/1 ), mind you this is gemini-3-flash

stats from a recent #agent run to 2.3M tokens

ya know, I think my #agent listed this time

Is it the small surprises from #ai that has us hooked?

I just learned I can `go build -o /dev/null ...`

I want this site to beat twitter, and for twitter to evaporate. For that to happen, people you hate must have a more pleasant experience posting here than posting there.

A minority of this site decided instead that they want it to be their little club, so that's what we have.

I remember having this book as a child, seems it's been appropriately updated lol

What if it was impossible for your #agent to share your secrets?

are tokens the metric unit of text length now?

I was thinking of using that on my blog instead of words or est. time

I wonder though if we could, or should, ever get a standard, or maybe a bunch and we can meme that xkcd comic a 16th time

@cuelang.org 🧚 @dagger.io is over 9000

a multi-cloud #devops / #gitops container stack

@pfrazee.com it occurs to me that if we can run a full atproto network in @dagger.io, we can also run full network integration testing in ci too

Did you also say that one-liner for an @atproto.com testnet should build from source?

I step closer to the edge of the (ci) abyss...

this is something of a blend between make & argo

Who wants a one-line command to start a local testnet for making @atproto.com apps?

<thinking>we have issues with online comms, can we repurpose stuff from ai for out-of-flow context sharing</thinking>

What if humans adopted the <thinking> tags in our online writing for each other? Would that help to convey more internal context so we have fewer disagreements?

I have this looming fear I'm trending towards building a CI system... #devops

You know that advice in Dockerfiles, where you are supposed to...

apt-get update -y && \
apt-get install -y ... && \
apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

...? well those days are over

a better option exists with @dagger.io that is faster and saves the same space, better caching of course!

This #ai binge I'm on has me writing code like it's #covid all over again

that or #ai is a force multiplier
