Having gone down the worktree rabbit hole for a month or so, I am giving up in favor of multiple checkouts to enable many agents to work across many repos. Worktrees worked great for me when my agents' work was mostly contained to a si

Get a microscope and help me explore the role of structured water in rouleaux formation. Rouleaux formations are clumps of red blood cells, and they're bad because 90% of our circulatory system is < 1 cell wide, so clumps cannot pas
