Had a hilarious experience calling a hotel's customer support line yesterday. The hold music was absolutely fire, and I was thankful to have my wife and her phone nearby to search for the audio on Google.

This is Hyatt Regency Atlanta's hold music:

When agentic tooling started coming out, I had the thought of "How do we start building agent-specific tooling to take advantage of the strengths of agents/LLMs compared to human beings?"

This seems like a solid step in that direction, and gets my brain whirring on other problems this could solve.

There is no universe in which this is defensible.

If you’re cheering children dying in a flood, I’m just gonna say it: you’re a fucking monster.

just keeps getting better the longer you look at it

I've been using Jujutsu for literally two days, and I'm already a convert. This maps to how my brain thinks about source control much better than Git, and the UX from the command line is 100 times better. Cannot recommend more highly.

I wanted to use a Windows laptop as my work laptop, and I assumed WSL 2 was good enough for prime time. I have been using Windows + WSL 2 on my desktop as my daily driver since it was released. I have had nearly zero issues.

A laptop was a completely different experience.

One of my favorite things about our LLM era is that I can be WAY more vague about what I want to find.

"Yea, I'm looking for something that's kind of like this thing, but it sounds more like that thing, and it's purple or orange."

ChatGPT: could it be X, Y, Z?

You can't Google this kind of stuff.

So I start working on a project I haven't touched in forever, and I thought to myself: "I wonder if atuin can search directory history instead of just...global history"

AND IT CAN

Blew my damn mind. @ellie.wtf, you are a genius

I can't live without it.

Life really do be a whole lotta looking back on situations you didn't have enough context or life experience to appreciate at the time, and going, "ohhhhh..."

Being a Dad has increased the frequency of this feeling 10x.

I didn't realize it actually displays reasoning tokens to you.

This is a game-changer for figuring out how to prompt better! You can literally see how the model processes your input.

Got this working in Cursor this morning. It is absolutely outstanding!

Yesterday, I applied to @quinnypig.com's job posting for a FinOps Engineer. I've never actually used CloudFormation, but I do have pretty extensive experience with Terraform, so I wanted to try a small exercise to get up to speed and practice.

This is something LLMs are amazing for.

I love it when I stumble on a random YouTube video suggestion that helps me better understand some random programming concept I've had bouncing around in my brain for 10 years that I never sat down to understand properly.

This is awesome

One of the more interesting side effects of using LLMs while I code is that I make fewer assumptions about why something might be broken. I really enjoy prompting an LLM for that "first step" in debugging an issue, because it usually surfaces suggestions I may have otherwise discarded.

Is there a way to post code images on Bluesky that doesn't JPEG them to death? 😅

Tyler's experience largely mirrors my experience with Cursor + Claude and building stuff. I think a somewhat under-discussed aspect of something like Cursor is the editing superspeed you can get when you are specifically prompting for refactors.

Here's an example from my dev consulting work: 🧵
