Life is a highway and it would be better with protected bike lanes.
Interesting!

My sessions are significantly better if I have one agent investigate to write up a PRD/Plan and cycle that with feedback two or three times with me (usually Gemini or Claude plan mode).

I think people skip Plan Mode and it’s utterly essential to success on non-trivial tasks.

Another tip a friend offered is: Claude is intentionally optimized to minimize token usage. You must consistently instruct it to do anything eager (read other files) or it will miss cases.

This is a reductive take and I don’t expect everyone to agree with it. I am interested in discussion.

I’ve seen worse crimes committed on the playground against children (not wearing Kevlar vests) and they didn’t even result in a detention.

We can have government shutdown after shutdown and the market doesn’t blink. They don’t care. It’s passé. It happens every time. The private market seems to think never interrupt your opponent while they’re making a mistake.

I’ve made some cool mini paints and I feel my stuff is really improving. I can’t wait for my D&D group to encounter this fella.
