Pings

The only thing that seems interesting is AI right now, I'm writing less code, and I kinda just don't care as much about the small open source stuff as I used to. I enjoy reading about what other people are thinking, doing, creating. But when I go to grab a podcast while I wait on my clankers its one talking about how other people are using them, how to make them more secure, more effective, how the new models change things, what models are good at what. It's all so new and changes so fast. Any sort of new open source project starts out sus that it was just vibe coded anyways, So at the moment it feels like ooh how did you get that, how do I make mine, and that the thing itself has less value. I hate that its this way, but it is.

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/

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...

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.

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.

I was today years old when I realized that the ghostty guy is the Hashicorp guy.

I taught wyatt `#bada55` green, I apologize in advance, I underestimate the power of immature humor has on him.

Agents right now * can I access the project you mentioned? > yes * Can i access /tmp > yes, just do it * While I'm I at it, `kubctl delete...` > yanks plug front internet

Here's a quick tip if you want to get your agents running longer, **prompt better**.

What no one is talking about is that Deegs doesn't get the red plate without Anstie on the ground. 

I was unironically asked what is that about my keeb today. Followed by no way that works, how would you type a, s, y, u, after showing, I go the "that's weird" walk away.

I'm not sure if its good to keep issues and plans in the repo long term, but I'm going to give it a shot. > read @pages/issues/issue-1.md create a plan to fix the issue, then write your > plan to fix in @pages/plans/fix-issue-1.md

New keeb feeling so good I don't want to leave it. I'm going to go from having my worse favorite at work, to having my new favorite at work. 

[mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/getting-started.html) looks like what I wanted nix to be for me.

I've been all in on just for a while now, but mise looks so good it might be my next move.

Is there a world that giving my phone to my kids does not result in it being covered in peanut butter and snot?

Is `bet` new teen lingo? My kid is starting to say _bet_ in every sentence. > So he explained it as "I'm down", "You bet", "Yes", "I like that", "You betcha"

Naming things is hard, pings will now be numbered.

I'm being gaslit by the ai. It just did a big hard change, now cant do a seemingly basic change, and assures me that that its fixed my issue on every iteration.

This morning I set up notifications for changes to my static site builds leveraging git name status [1] and ntfy.  References: [1]: /git-name-status/
