Sounds very similar to AI for coding 🤷🏼

Disagree :3 the comfort of it is so lush

(other modern keyboard layouts are available)

So many papercuts in Notion. UX is hard but that’s not an excuse for a major player. Can’t wait for another contender to step up and replace them

I have some faith in taking ownership + permaban on rules violations

“If you ignore this document twice, or if you spam the tracker with agent-generated issues, your GitHub account will be permanently blocked.”

Also from what I understand, this 1 prefix isn’t needed any more. Phone numbers are now by default interpreted as US-relative, rather than local

From what I understand, 1 isn’t the country code for them but the prefix for calling non-local numbers. Here in Germany that would be a 0, e.g. any Berlin number is 030xxxyyyy. If you omit the 0 in Germany, then from a Berlin landline I’d be calling a Berlin-relative 7-digit number

I think AI works a lot like people: when I guide it, I don’t expect it to do everything right the first time. Neither can I. But when AI breaks up problems like I do, typically it succeeds.

Think about the advice that a manager might give an employee ahead of time when faced with a huge problem.4/4

I think AI was RLHFed to get to working code first. So consider

- proposing anytime AI encounters a tricky lifetime situation that it plans out the remaining work and shelves it in a task, so it can focus first on designing lifetimes before picking up the rest of the larger task 3/

- painting a picture of the context to convince AI why it’s important for this project specifically to spend brain cycles on this

- encouraging self-review cycles after the initial code, either in the prompt and/or manually and/or assisted by a task extension or whatever CC has 2/

Unfortunately AI not consistent. Sucks. I can think of

- being stricter / meaner / more verbose in your AGENTS.md instruction: “it is really important”, “always use lifetimes over reference counts blah blah” 1/

Hence AGENTS.md — it’s always loaded even without the agent making a conscious decision about that, unlike skills

Have you considered using AGENTS.md to tell it what style you prefer?

You do you girl! Don’t let others tell you to live your life

I think it’s perfectly understandable

Lefos emailing me: Hello Bram, Happy Monday! A fresh week is yours — may it be full of energy, good work, and moments worth savoring. Berlin mornings are best with a little momentum, so here's to a wonderful start. Make it a great one. Shine bright, Lefos

Me asking Lefos to wish me a happy Monday on Monday

Asked lefos.com to wish me a happy Monday. Kinda cute.

Each belt you bring must be 100 mL max and they must all be packed in a 1 liter transparent bag

The Center Has a Bias Why a measured position on AI tends to lean towards actually trying it.

After the AI Engineer conference, which was full of useful criticism, I remembered that the most confident takes on AI often came from the least exposure. Rejection is easy, trial and error is expensive. I wrote about it. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/11/th...

Love the ep so far, you really hit a nail on the head with slop theatre / performative slop, and the parallel with substance abuse.

“Outcomes over outputs” is as true as ever.

We work remotely, strong comp, meaningful equity. Just ping me or fill out the contact form

😂

If Teachr was a tea-themed teacher, I’d dig that

Or: TeaChair

All names seem taken to some extent but they look pretty beatable as well

Ah sorry you already answered that question

They’re up to 44GB for specialized chips 🤷🏼

Wait which CPU actually has a gig of L3? On Wikipedia I can only find a Turin Dense with half a gig of L3

Considering taking a derivative on Matt’s side, not because I understand it but just for the fun of it

Yes. I would have hoped that people in leftist spaces are more conscious of that…

I think it’s also hard to remember the difficulty of skills learned long ago. English on near-native level is freaking hard, and so is my own native language.

Most useful software is also freaking counterintuitive. We just got used to it — and many don’t have empathy for the elderly who struggle

Might also be that you’re seeing the algorithm in action. It’s easier to comment on threads with easy-to-digest messages — so they get more engagement, so that’s what makes the rounds

Well, I think you’re doing an ace job.

It’s just — you can’t fix them all

Oh no our corporate training website was invaded by rabbits ❤️🐰 directus.io/tv

I have some understanding for our industry when I remember how much we ask of software: we want it to work on VERY diverse platforms, and we want a LOT of functionality.

But the reality is companies simply fail to prioritize quality, e.g. www.bugsappleloves.com

I think every software engineer needs to do a mandatory year in tech support. To learn to feel the users’ pain.
