I felt the same about opus 5, but a few lines regarding conversational style in AGENTS.md and it's been much more like talking to opus 4.8, just with the improvement capability that came with 5. Tbh I would have thought that A\ might

I haven't got 1000 words in me, but here's what I think might make for a plausible story. Maybe a little too Matrix adjacent!: The internet developed echo chambers; the proliferation of AI resulted in convergence. The totality of

I switched as I felt Codex was on a par with Opus, but the chat responses from Sol are just more intelligible than the word soup I've been getting from Opus. I wonder if Opus could be prompted to respond in simpler prose via agents.md

I came across the socratic method recently, and have used it to learn a couple of topics that I was having trouble getting to stick. There are some SKILL.md's available for it. It works for concepts as opposed to facts, and causes the

It was with the transience of valuable agent session dialogue in mind that I built https://www.agentkanban.io - A key feature is context capture in the tasks which you create on the board and then progress in agent sessions. Su

Exactly. As soon as business works out that there are open models that can achieve parity at a fraction of the cost, they will switch model. They have to. Business exists to make money, and if they can do the same thing at lower cost, they

Which is why these companies must be overvalued. This is the definition of a commodity. We have no loyalty to any vendor or model, it's just about capability, price and performance and there can only be so many more increments in capab

I think because without the initial prompt, they are only interpreting our will, and do not act under their own volition.

'roll down hill' is a good way of putting it. They don't have 'will', but that's as we want it I think. I think alignment is harder if they develop will. Without will they are still tools that feel like an exos

I have an freemium VS code extension that is converting well (we have 1 perpetual licence sale for every 10 VS Code market place downloads). But I'm having difficulty raising awareness of the extension (330 installs so far on https:&#

I feel like it depends on the task, and that's why people seem to disagree on this. Think about a manager managing 5 devs. If he is working on planning and managing work for his dev team, we don't say he is task switching, he&#x27

I don't think we're going to convince anyone to replace git on speed alone. I don't spend that much time waiting for git operations, even on really big repositories.

I worked on this problem with https://www.agentkanban.io - this is a human in the loop integration for VS code that stores the context in the kanban task so it lives with the task (can also be forked, split etc).

Think the issue is that it was supposed to be a 'world wide web', but increasingly there's caveats to that.

Same. I haven't been able to see how people let agent loops run without significant steering and produce good quality software. VS Code with one or two integrated terminals running is fine for me. Or a couple of VS Code instances if I&

It's honest - people who know what they are looking at will take speed and token costs into account. I don't use Gemini 3.5 for coding, but I use it as something in between a search engine and agent.

Git has worktrees, which provide a means of creating branch linked physical working directories. I built in UI assistance for creating worktress associated with the agent session in https://www.agentkanban.io (an agent integrate

It's made me wonder the same, but most LLM generated codebases haven't been around long enough to judge maintainability. I have noticed issues in some of my more LLM heavy code when I expect a change to be replicated in multiple a

Interface over inheritance is the paradigm I try and stick to. I'd rather maintain orthogonal code than code with overuse of inheritance because of over adherence to DRY.

Self help books are the most filler heavy books. They often have a useful point, but they just don't need to be a book much of the time. This is unfortunate for the authors who have often put significant time into producing the informa

For me it's about the value of my time. I think that it's important that we have open models, but for getting real work done, my time is too valuable to waste it on subpar results or additional agent management when a max plan cov
