It's all moving so fast

AI is moving so fast this year its hard to keep up, I've written 3 or 4 versions of one blog post to replace I'm Out On Agents [1], but it feels like everything changes before I can get it out. References: [1]: /im-out-on-agents/

I Built A Tmux Session Switcher

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now. For years now, fuzzy pickers and last session have been my go to. They have served me well. I can typically only keep so much in my head anyways. I’m often doing a hub and spoke pattern between main project, notes, and infra repo, maybe two projects. Don’t get me wrong, I regularly run with a dozen or more sessions running at a time, but only two to three are in my immediate context at any point anyways. The Design # [1] harpoon for tmux press a hotkey followed by one more keystroke, currently any left hand letter SIMPLE, FAST, thats of utmost importance, what I want are sessions that I can can be assigned in order of importance from middle row, top row, bottom row. I added this binding to my tmux config. Now I can press c-a a to go to the first session, c-a s to go to the second session. c-a and pause to think j/k to navigate, space to pick up a session and move it, x to kill it. bind-key -n c-a popup -E '~/go/bin/tgo' Enter the ag...

Is gpt-5.4 slow?

What you don't have six agents orchestrating the work of 6 subagents yet. I saw in a work chat that people were complaining about 5.4 being too slow and they keep going back to opus. For me its been working great, I have it working on critical infrastructure work, that I will need to maintain. I appreciate its accuracy and completeness. And honestly I'm **rarely** watching agents run. Its like watching paint dry at this point. Its interesting to read their thinking prompts, but not productive work. While its running I'm teeing up the net prompt. Working with another set of agents to write a set of issues for the next epic. I might be too privileged though. I own a whole platform and have plenty of autonomy to work on what I see fit for the day. I don't have a boss breathing down my neck waiting for a single ticket to be complete. I'm working on 6 projects at a time. I'm taking walks to avoid becoming a burnt out zombie. I'm definitely not complaining about it kicking out massive amo...

We are the Grey Beards

In November 2025 everyones beard lost its color, we aged into the next generation without realizing it. If you were getting paid to write code at this point in time, you are part of a special point in history where we used to write code by hand. There will be systems air gapped systems somewhere devs will continue to do it how we've always done it, some day they will peek out of this cave and realize that they are the only ones left, no one else remembers what its like. Writing code will quickly become a hobby that people do, in a weird niche way. Not because you want to build something, but like the guy with a mainframe in his garage that likes to watch the lights blink. Because its nostalgic, it's a very cool skill, its fun and rewarding, but it won't be to get something done.

Clankers got me tired

I spent all day grinding on a 20 minute fix. I want the agents to do it. They can do it, but they are missing the harnesses they need to replicate my workflows of old.

In the age of agents sometimes work gets done on so many different worktrees and branches its hard to tell if there is already a PR or any of them or not, the great gh cli has us covered.

Tiny Tool Town 🏘️ www.tinytooltown.com

Tiny Tool Town 🏘️ A delightful showcase for free, fun & open source tiny tools. Stupid-delightful software made with love. Tiny Tool Town · tinytooltown.com [1] Learned about this one from the @stipete interview [2] @scotthanselman did on YouTube. This is proof that the internet is alive. It’s such web 1.0 nostalgia to see that people can just build things! Did you know that you can literally just build things and make them exist? You don’t need users, You don’t need a big platform, you can just make something into existance. It seems like something we have forgotten through web 2.0 where everything as become 4 major apps all linking to each other and trying to hoard all of the attention. Scroll through tehre are some really cool apps, probably nothing that has the polish you want, or is going to change your world. What these apps have more than anything you’ve probably used in the recent years, is inspiration. Its xyz, but the way I wanted, or with my little twist. And no one else has to like it but me because I’m the user. References: [1]: https://www.tinytooltown.com/ [2]: https://youtu.be/Wm7tsiJ1nIo?si=_qvZaR5SPWozBjrY

Giving it a personality that is not “You are absolutely right”. The story of changing the name twice, and getting pwnd on every step the first time and nailing it the second time is incredible. Dude is having fun trying to make the thing he wants in the world exist. References: [1]: https://steipete.me

I keep forgetting about the double gutter problem with nested containers. When you put padding on a parent and the child also has padding, you get twice the spacing you wanted.

The Problem #

.container {
  padding: 2rem;
}

.child {
  padding: 2rem;
}

Now your content is 4rem from the edge. Not what I meant at all.

The Fix #

Either remove padding from the parent or use box-sizing: border-box and plan for it. I usually just drop the parent padding when I realize what I have done.
