I'd love to know if people are using CEL, and what for. Any war stories to share?

LA Metro: Ambient turns the Los Angeles rail network into a generative music instrument. Every note you hear is a real train arriving at a real station right now. Each of the six rail lines and two BRT lines has its own synthesizer voice. T

I haven’t dropped an agent into production yet. This is all internal / PoC work. Claude / your favourite LLM coding agent can help you design this and will be good at helping you unpack risks and hazards. Good luck!

I’m dealing with invoices and customers and timesheets and tickets. I didn’t want to give an agent SQL access to the database for performance and security reasons, and we don’t have a read only replica (which would have been much more accep

Fast is probably going to get in the way of Good, but here are some things to think about. 1. In many businesses, different users of the agent should have different read/write permissions to data. 2. Log everything. There will be pro

Nice! Claude and I made something for my use called 'azdo' that's the 'gh' CLI but for Azure DevOps. I figured agents know how to use gh, so give them what they know. I haven't yet tried aliasing so they don&#x

I like it a lot. AND it has MCP server so I can point my agent at it to search and research. Very impressive.

Being able to mange context over long running sessions is a function of the harness, not the model. Are you using Claude Code with GPT5.5? Codex? piclaw? They’ll all have different context management strategies to let you keep going when yo

Forgot to add: I get several benefits from doing this. 1. Specifications that live outside the code. We have a lot of code for which "what should this do?" is a subjective answer, because "what was this written to do?" i

Nice! Your spec-maxxing is very resonant. I've been doing working with explicit requirements: elicit them from conversation with me or introspecting another piece of software; one-shot from them; and keep them up-to-date as I do the &q

I'm not trying to convert you, just want to share process tips that I see working for me and others. We're using agents, not a chat, because they can do complex work in pursuit of a goal. 1. Make artifacts. If you're doing re

We're in the brief window of time when AI's writing style is the weirdness. It's an artifact of the production process, like JPG blur, MP3 distortion, autotune's rigidity. And it didn't take long for those things to

I hate its acknowledgement of its personality prompt. Try having a series of back and forth and each response is like “got it, keeping it short and professional. Yes, there are only seven deadly sins.” You get more prompt performance than

Are you two talking at cross-purposes because you don't have a shared understanding of control and data flow? The pieces here are: * Claude Code, a Node (Javascript) application that talks to MCP server(s) and the Claude API * The MCP

The newsletter this is from is full of very clear writing about SQL, practically applying theory without getting lost in a tangle of database theory jargon. If you need to read or write SQL then I think you’ll find it as interesting as I ha

I find the best comments here to be ones where people use their knowledge and experience to discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of the technology in the post. I see a bunch of short single-sentence comments here that add no value.

I can't speak to tornado warnings, but here in NZ we've been getting tsunami warnings once every year or two and it didn't take long for people to go "yeah yeah yeah" instead of "oh crap".
