I feel like a lot of automations folks are doing with agents can probably be done mostly by shell scripts in a more deterministic fashion. Maybe just use a LLM for some categorization, instead of to do the whole thing.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary.
It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

I know this is the wrong crowd for this but, I have an important test that I apply to new technologies that people think are going to fix everything. I ask "how does this help with the housing crisis?"
Invariably (so far) it does not.

I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.

In 2003, Joan Kroc (widow to the McDonald’s executive) bequeathed to NPR around $230 million. It transformed the network.
Which of our many billionaires would like to be remembered the way Joan Kroc is today?
Step right up! Don’t be shy!

‘Are you sitting down?’ The windfall that transformed NPR 20 years ago.
In 2003, McDonald’s heiress Joan B. Kroc bequeathed more than $200 million to NPR. This is the impact of the record-breaking gift over the past 20 years.

Just kicked off a zfs send/receive for my container storage volume, about ~48GB. UK -> Eastern Canada, over ssh over tailscale (wireguard).
Maybe it'll be done in the morning? 😅
