Not even short form. I found myself watching an hour and a half long YT video of a dude jet skiing from WA state to Alaska and can’t even hype myself up to watch a feature film.

Turns out AGI boils down to two markdown files:

claude-md-or-agents-md

claude-md-and-agents-md

Being creative and creating things are not the same?

I’d have no software installed after a week!

I was interested at launch but yeah $40 seemed aggressive. Reviews at launch were pretty negative too for a lot of game bugs and unfinished feel. If those get patched up and it seems to improve … i still dunno, kinda steep!

> anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Idk seems like it fits the bill still. Maybe not for everyone

it's cunningham's law where the fast LLM generated iteration is the confidently wrong answer that the clients will correct

If the issue comments are to be believed it could be related to the codex system prompt itself so likely just the harness. I agree the wording is weird but they appear to be referencing GPT 5.5 in Codex because yeah there isn’t a GPT5.5 Codex model.

This reads like a script to a Theo video

It’s like when I bought HTMX 2.0 release on floppy

I have no regrets watching the World Cup games with my 3 year old and having him narrate me through everything he’s seeing

“Click to continue reading”

No thanks

Oh wow you’re totally right now that I think about it that one burned me too

The non-food version of Overcooked!

love the extra satire there

By this point I’m not sure why everyone isn’t in “default satire” mode.

Warehouse for you

Not just you!

Lakebase + Lakehouse = Lake

> Do that well and you can build what a team of twenty engineers would put out in a month for around a thousand dollars.

What does this look like after 6-12 months? Like, how much code are you trying to write total?

Maybe it just doesn’t click in my mind, but sometimes I wonder about how much work people are trying to do and how they actually have enough to get done so quickly in such a short amount of time.

Usually take mushrooms or gummies and see what happens.

This isn't even troll post. AI has killed the ability to reach flow for me, but I basically have to use it at work so <shrug>. But if I'm WFH or at night, a little help helps me stay focused and connected to my work, sometimes even with AI. Does my mind drift? sure. But that's as close as I get to flow now.

The maintainer of pnpm mentioned this on the pod rocket podcast recently. Based on recent npm exploits they decided to (and based on a poll they did most users agreed) set to 1 day by default in v11. Can always choose to change it if you desire.

(Pedantry erupts below)

I always read this as a tongue in cheek joke b/c of how the — appears left aligned, then right aligned, then elsewhere in the Zen center aligned, sort of pointing to how yeah there’s multiple ways to do things …

Yeah I agree with you fully here. As much as the nostalgia twinges my heart and I want the same for my kids, I’m not sure it’s doing them any favors. Us holding onto a past they never knew doesn’t mean we’re doing “the right thing” for them. Alas, parenting is hard.

For me I think 2004 with the launch of Halo 2 and playing over xbox live with the homies.

I think for me it's hard to conceptualize what "do what I want to do all day, stress free, for the rest of my life." really means. Maybe it's just because i've been conditioned since a child to expect to "work" and "do things", but periods of my life where i've had that similar amount of freedom have always felt somewhat aimless and purposeless to me. But would i feel that way if i had never felt the need to work and be productive? Not sure.

For me personally, having the right job is actually more interesting to me than doing whatever i want all day then given my conditioning. I think because without the job I wouldn't have the same opportunity to encounter the "problems" i enjoy "solving" at work with critical thinking. It's kinda like training for a sport? Sometimes having a competition or a game is a nice forcing function to make it all feel real?

Yeah coming from the backend world using AI for UI tweaks can really unlock me to have a decent looking app with reasonable UX in a much shorter amount of time. Maybe the code is “slop” but usually I can spend just enough time to take away the cognitive debt and still feel like I’m ending up in a better place
