I think some people mistake "I don't value the human layer of a communication" with "The human layer has no value". A presentation is a live audio visual medium. If you just want the information as facts with no aff

Isn't it just arguing that one complex weighted graph was tuned to output tokens that more align with what current day users would define as 'taste'? I don't think it necessarily says anything about a model itself having

Do you rewrite the specs with new requirement changes if they've already been implemented? How do you supercede a spec? I've been using LLMs daily and I spun up a few spec driven flows once or twice but like the person above I thi

- building a reliable enough system out of unreliable parts is pretty fun for me. It's a different kind of puzzle. - pi-agent or code your own harness, it is not hard. - codex for now allows you to use it in any harness but if they eve

Yeah I can kind of see that and if you don't like them you don't like them. Not all tools are for all people. I personally draw the line at plugins that try to set up entire workflows and take the human completely out of the loop.

I was already spending a lot of time reviewing other people's code. It makes no difference to me if it's coming from an agent or a person. I can pick and choose which parts of the problem deserve my attention and which can be done

What would you consider a "hard" problem?

by jmcodes 5mo ago
I don't think they do but you can always use OpenCode or Pi Agent.

Same loved them, told my team about them, got them to switch off of cursor, now I'm telling them to swap to Codex. Anthropic really pissed me off with their harness crap. They're well within their rights but their communication ov

I don't maintain this anymore but I experimented with this a while back: https://github.com/jx-codes/lootbox Essentially you give the agent a way to run code that calls MCP servers, then it can use them like any o

It can and it does especially combined with skills (context files). It can hit REST APIs with CURL just fine. MCP is basically just another standard. Where it comes in handy has mostly been in distribution honestly. There's something v

Not the guy who made it but I immediately wondered if I could use the intermediate steps with some "outline" mode to help me see things in shapes and finally learn to draw a bit.

It's a process that I don't have conscious control over. I don't choose to think random thoughts they appear. Which is different than thoughts I consciously choose to think and engage with. From my subjective perspective it i

Our entire extistence and experience is nothing _but_ input. Temperature changes, visual stimulus, auditory stimulus, body cues, random thoughts firing, etc.. Those are all going on all the time.

I don't agree entirely with this. I know why the LLM wrote the code that way. Because I told it to and _I_ know why I want the code that way. If people are letting the LLM decide how the code will be written then I think they're u

Like the the other commenter said, just for the permissions. If Bun had a sandbox I'd use it. Deno isn't my cup of tea (although I appreciate it more after building with it the past two days). My impression is that it is lightweig

by jmcodes 1y ago
Yes I'm actually not too fond of the DX of Deno. I don't know why. It's a perfectly fine runtime and the permissions are obviously great but the texture is off if that makes sense. I always gravitate to Bun when I can, it fee

Haha yes, yes it is. I wrote out and implemented that approach in the links below. I've been playing with it for a few hours and I have to say I actually really really like it. One thing I ran into is that since the RPC calls are indep

https://github.com/jx-codes/mcp-rpc For those of you interested, I wrote out and built an more RPC typescript centric approach to avoid using other MCP servers at all. Would appreciate some thoughts! https:/&#x2F

Oh this sounds so awesome. The memory system sounds very cool. I could imagine decaying memories in the graph, their initial salience being N then as it gets referenced more and more N goes up (more edges?), keep a decay function over time?

Says something about my coding haha. Yeah since it's using Deno it'd be cool just use Deno throughout. Definitely gotta clean up the code quite a bit.

So this is a first pass to capture the workflow part (mix code and MCP calls). The fetch code isn't any better than the tool code I agree, but typescript code is more common so I'd guess this would be too? But anyway I think the r

by jmcodes 1y ago
Yeah the main value is definitely the code execution layer. You could easily generate a type-safe client from your REST, GraphQL, TRPC layer, expose it to the Deno layer and list the types as a resource or something. No need to involve MCP

Agreed 100% and I enjoy that part too, I just don't really see how that is being taken away. The way I see it these tools allow me to use my actual brainpower mostly on those problems. Because all the rote work can now be workably augm

Been doing it for ten years still love the profession as much if not more than when I started, but the joy of software development for me was always in seeing my idea come to life, in exploring all the clever ways people had solved so many
