Just because agents are capable of 10k line prs doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

If gippity can vomit out software 80% of what you made I aint using it anymore, I get way more value from asking the magic clanker to make it for me that I do trying to figure out how to use yours.

Friendly reminder that you need to delete your agents.md

If you want to git gud you need to have some projects of your own. And it does not need to look like a @technotim thumbnail.
Ask your friends if they have any unused pc’s, hard drives, anything, other peoples trash makes a surprisingly great homelab. This is not just your starting point but where you keep an eye out for new nodes that you can join to your cluster.
No friends, look for any refurbished enterprise mini pcs. These work great for low power compute nodes. They do not handle a lot of disk, you will need...

Why is this still a question? You start another one, thats how this works now. I often have 23 agents up and going, maybe 3-5 actively cooking. A bunch of them are done that im reviewing the final statement, maybe i want to make a note still, or need to review the output, or debating a follow up.
Im not saying its the most healthy, productive, or best. But its what all of the people I talk to that actually build things are doing
this question came up on syntaxfm

Just got access to typesafe Jev very interesting new paradigm of responding to structured queries with structured responses VERY FAST, It will be interesting to see how this changes developer tooling moving forward.
Note
Does anyone believe the labs when they say they are slowing down? I think a majority of people believe they ALL should. I think it’s arguably impossible to slow them all down, so is there really any benefit to only slowing down the ones that you can regulate and let the others catch up?

I’m playing with omarchy on an old laptop and decided I want to share it with my kids without sharing what I also set up as my sudo password.
lsblk -f
Look for the one labeled crypto_LUKS
sudo cryptsetup luksChangeKey /dev/nvme0n1p2
Then you will be asked for your sudo password, previous full disk encryption password, then the new one twice.
Now my laptop can be shared without sharing my private sudo password.
Writing
First, find your usb disk. You should be able to identify it by size and name using lsblk.
lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,MODEL,TRAN,RM,MOUNTPOINTS
Here I see my good ol Trans-It Drive. It’s not fancy. It wasn’t even at the time it was new, but I have it and it works. Next, we run the disk destroyer dd to copy raw bytes right on to the drive.
Warning
This is a full reformat of the drive, nothing on the drive will be recoverable afterwards. I keep this drive around as a boot disk and it just changes distro occasionally.
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/omarchy-4.0.1.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync
Note
Don’t forget the bs, the default block size is so slow it will take an eternity to copy a linux iso on to a boot drive.
I wanted to give omarchy quatro a try, here is the session to get it.
