Hah I think if a repo is “standard” enough that an agent can navigate it freely without any help or direction, maybe it’s not worth having altogether? Even fable _regularly_ stumbles as big repos or custom configurations, even for projects

Hmm that’s strange, in my experience it is the other way around - Claude is super diligent with infra and will _insist_ on double checking and trying everything for real before committing. When I was doing this myself I would read the docs

But isn’t “writing a linter for contracts” the thing we need and probably would solve? Coding agents are great because they have compilers, linters, test cases etc to ground themselves in. With tools like OKF I’m sure most knowledge work wo

You are right - and this has been the case for me before, but unfortunately human resource constraints are not something most orgs optimise for, including my current one. I would love to spend more time and talk to the people with their iss

Hah, I guess we are not far away from the “Avogadro Corp” future - and that book was written just _before_ LLM, chatgpt and the attention is all you need paper :) That author had quite the insight

I’m not convinced tbh, a lot of my colleagues messages are “x broken” or “I do y” … no context whatsoever, and then I have to coax their context for making these decisions. Since people started using Claude now I get full context of everyth

Don’t coworking spaces solve some of the issues? I am one of these people that hates working from home and loves going to the office - the chat with colleagues, the exercise of bicycling to the office and back, the context switching between

Tel-aviv is honestly incredibly impressive, I’ve been there and the place is amazing - that it was just a sand dune and without the Arab oil wealth still managed to make this land into an amazing place to live… Don’t think anyone is faultin

Everyone is always a squatter on someone else’s land, for millennia now. The question is how do you deal with it. Israel “dealing” with its “Palestinian problem” by taking a book out of nazis and Ottoman Empire is both ironic and incredibly

Honestly, I’ve stopped caring about code readability for a few months now. I want the code readable _to the agent_ not so much to me. I don’t trust it with code anyway - every feature needs comprehensive test, and then a live deploy on a re

Surprisingly enough I’ve encountered both kinds - people who don’t care a lot and despise any “mandatory commit rules”, and people who care _too much_ spending company time making their commits “perfect” which then nobody reads. I think it’

Actually I think it is the other way around - since very few people would ever read commit histories - maybe if something really bad happened and we need to trace the audit trail ~once a month or something per team. But LLMs can traverse th

It’s not equal amount of time though. You don’t need to support all the other customers, and you also have the exact apis and their usage. Telling Claude to “reimplement” something is vastly more achievable than trying to spec and research

Yeah but depends how you use it - with superpowers and it’s prevalence of splitting things into smaller focused subagents - this could seriously reduce costs … I wish my company gave me more options than just using Claude to test these thin

Getting on and off fable this week has been quite interesting. For my personal work stream (big terraform monorepo, hundreds of states) I’ve using mostly superpowers to do heavy / quality work. But with fable, I tried just telling it w

I’ve found that Claude is really good at picking up tone of voice in prompts / queries. If I go “find issues in this code” it will hallucinate some, but if I say “can you check the recent change, there might be some things that introdu

Ha! It’s silly easy for me to bum in the “premium” tier - the highest one my employer is able to select for me. With proper skills and validations, it’s quite easy for me to spin out a Claude instance and keep it running in the background f

Yeah but I think going back to hand writing bespoke code is not coming back, the genie is out of the bottle. But we could build much better tooling around keeping the agents honest. The problems you are describing are absolutely real and I

Exactly - I had switched to a one meal per day setup and have been mostly following it for a few years. Then after a routine “heart health” check all my indicators were super out of whack - the doctors thought I was on my deathbed - but I a

Sad they didn’t finish it. The later books seemed like they were written “to be movies/series” with less political stuff and more visuals / speculative sci-fi. Plus the story has an actual half decent conclusion. To me the plight

I really liked reading through the Mars trilogy. It imagined a world where AI is used for fluent effortless translation - local languages get a renaissance since now you _dont_ need a lengua Franca, everyone just speaks what they like the m

This article kind of misses the point - of course everyone’s average day is … average. But locals don’t spend all of their days like this, sometimes (once a week/month/year) they would do something fun, or they want to. You asking

But isn’t AI doing the same thing to project management as to coding? PMs can now cross reference and organize tickets with just a few keystrokes. Organisational knowledge, business knowledge, design systems and patterns, etc all of it is e

I’ve noticed that agents almost always fail at the planing vs execution stage. I follow the plan -> red/green/refactor approach and it is surprisingly good, and the plans it produces all look super well reasoned and grounded, b

What the author is missing is that in his decision to limit the use of LLMs in his work, he omits the part where he “can”. E.g. he is resourceful and accomplished enough to be able to do the work he desires with no LLMs - but most people ac
