> Herdr is wonderful, not only because of the coding agent integrations, but also because it uses libghostty under the hood. So no terminal-emulator-inside-another-terminal-emulator shenanigans.

Now I’m interested. Does it have basic feature parity? How does it compare to tmux in your experience?

> I was really rooting for them

may I ask why?

The premise in this case is to get answers quickly in an emergency situation. You don’t want to tell the person with a burn injury to wait a bit since you always wanted to learn how burns are treated.

The blog is trying hard to be very casual and written in an informal style but then you get some claudisms like "so nothing actually landed on disk" in the middle. I found it jarring to read.

Not at any decently sized company. Delivering features is all that matters. By the time you're cleaning up the buggy mess, they were promoted two times and work somewhere else now. If anything, AI makes it much easier to suck and still get things done to an acceptable degree.

that's pretty cool. I have a hope that despite the giant mountain of shit that is going to be produced from LLMs in the future, there's going to be a small number of people out there doing cool things with them. I am completely ignorant on the gaming hardware front, but I hope we see more/better emulators and old games being brought back to life with improved performance and compatibility with modern OSs.

It's not really fair to compare API pricing to subscriptions. You can indeed get lots of usage from a codex subscription, but once you start paying per token it gets a lot more painful as you noticed. There a price decrease is a big deal.

The amazing "solution" is basically telling the model to STFU every single turn. I guess this works better than putting it just in the claude MD since then it's never out of context.

> Bizarre how you seem to think someone else owes you answers to questions you don't seem to want to try and answer yourself.

This, of course, depends on your goals, but if your goal is for your project to reach more people for whom it is relevant, it is not crazy to provide some basic motivation.

"Why anyone should use this" is the fundamental question that anyone building something with the intention of other people using it should be thinking about. For example, Pi agent provides lots of information on the thinking and motivation behind the design. Even if I don't use the project, I come away learning something interesting.

I have also noticed that I am increasingly struggling to read what LLMs are writing, finding it incomprehensible half the time. I stole Matt Pocock's line of "When reporting information to me, be extremely concise and sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision." for the agents.md It makes it a little better. I also specify to use https://github.com/AminBlg/SimpleEnglish/ for all writing it does including code comments. It all feels like a bandaids but that seems to be the best we can do right now.
