Aging was supposed to happen in base 12, not base 10.

You're actually meant to be a kid until 12, a teenager until 24, a 20-something until you're 36, and in your thirties until you're 48. Your 40s should last until you're 60.

That's why every decade milestone (30, 40, etc.) feels premature.

AGENTS.md AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

I got some questions about what people choose to check into git when doing agentic development. Do you check-in AGENTS.md? .claude directories or files? Hooks? I also asked in rustaceans-ai.zulipchat.com -- if you do Rust coding with agents, you should join that.

I'm fascinated by how good #Claude is at changing its mind:

weather_raw = json.loads(open("...").read()) if False else None

after the inference for the JSON load was done, it realized that file doesn't exist, so it bailed

why do I prefer doing GH PR reviews from bottom to top???

{ "hooks": { "PreToolUse": [ { "matcher": "Bash", "hooks": [ { "type": "command", "command": "if echo \"$CLAUDE_TOOL_INPUT\" | grep -q -- '--no-verify'; then echo 'BLOCK: --no-verify is not allowed' >&2; exit 2; fi" } ] } ] } }

quick #claudecode tip

if you really need it, just do it yourself

I'm rewatching SG-1 for the umpteenth time and I've never realized how many of the high concept stuff they introduce get resolved by a) pew pew or b) o'neill making a snarky comment in the last three minutes of the episode

What is "Slop" (and why it gives me hope) YouTube video by vlogbrothers

pretty interesting take on a new fave topic of mine

hmm, let me just go ask my AI what Robert M. Pirsig would think about AI slop

both of these are part of emotional maturity/intelligence! very underrated in engineering, sadly.

don't try to build frontend apps with Rust, this is a few example apps with like two pages:

❯ cargo clean
Removed 204270 files, 78.4GiB total
❯ cargo clean
Removed 26038 files, 10.4GiB total
❯ cargo clean
Removed 72504 files, 9.9GiB total

HUGE issue with Claude Code + Git Worktrees

discussing #slop I think everyone should reread Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

This discussion makes it very clear that debating "slop" is pretty useless without first agreeing on what is and isn't slop.

Your definition is very far @avengingfemme.bsky.social's definition.

"I lost my train of thought" is human for "my context window got cleared"

"here's my Claude chat history" sure is a meetup talk format now

Bash command cd olumes/Projects/aonyx/whisker && cargo +nightly-2026-01-22 metadata --format-version 1 2>&1 | python3 -c " import sys, json meta = json.load(sys.stdin) for pkg in metal' packages']: ...

you can tell the exact moment when #claude is about to lose the plot when it starts to write Python scripts to analyze your Cargo deps

Being a worker under capitalism is basically getting yourself all slutty and standing out on a street corner until a VC dude rolls up and goes "do you love solving difficult challenges in a fast-paced environment?" and then you say "I'll love whatever you want for housing and healthcare, baby"

you ran this lol Bash(npx firebase firestore:delete products --project provenance-635f5 - - shallow -- force 2>&1; echo "---"; echo "That deletes ALL products. Let me use a targeted app...) L--- That deletes ALL products. Let me use a targeted approach instead. • You're right, that's on me. I ran the delete command before the echo - the --force flag skipped confirmation and --shallow deleted all product docs. The echo after was me narrating what I thought I was going to do, but the damage was already done. Sorry about that. (...)

I wonder if #Claude is being trained to be encourage changing its mind sometimes. Seeing lots if "actually, ..." turnarounds. Normally this is in thinking mode and entirely harmless, but here it's done the same thing in a failed attempt to stop a destructive bash command.

I think there's SO many more reasons as well, but this is a great base layer of Good Reasoning.

Chat log discussing document format. Claude repeats six times that markdown is the best format for a technical specification document for a Rust crate.

do you think Markdown might be the right format for this spec doc?

yeah we're producing more but it's taking less of our time to produce, so we can realloc that time to reviewing, partially?

just don't do 1000+ lines PRs and you can still manually review it and confidently take liability for your code?
