Will models become more stubborn as we use them more and feed us using them as long running agents where we simply ask for what seems to be an impossible task to be spit out by the all mighty clanker with all of the time in the world to try every way possible, add obnoxious amounts of telemetry, and somehow digest the flood of data it brings back?

Hard to argue this so hard here. For me it’s convenience. I work from a terminal most things that are real work get done there so this provide a convenient proximity to real work. If it’s a developer tool for me to use alongside development work I prefer a tui if it can be done in a text interface. Clis are different. Clis provide a great interface into automation, scripting, agent use, interop from two things no one else uses together. Alternatively to the argument for agents making real user interfaces easy I’m going to argue if that’s the case you should have your backend logic hooked into all the interfaces a user could want, CLI, tui, html [1], rest/http api. I honestly feel like the training data for a good tui just isn’t there and agents default to making bad this. References: [1]: /html/

Hard agree with Theo, terminals suck to use on a phone. Unless you have an attached keyboard they are unusable IMHO. t3 code ad # [1] https://youtu.be/dLhcLqoff6k?t=1354&is=xDCw0PpqH2zkZDou [2] This part of the pitch is fantastic. I think most of the people I talk to can relate to being unsure about when to start work because you want to keep your agents working. My morning process generally includes walking around tmux greeting all of my agents that were working hard last night and unblocking them to get them going for the day. Before even opening team chat, but after checking status pages that #1. My going home routine now has to start about an hour before I leave questioning whether I should start a session or not.

I have so much more appreciation for hetzner after seeing how the sausage is made. Their drive for efficiency is unparalleled. Not top tier performance, straight up well done engineering on the things that matter. No showing off or fancy stuff. The way they rack up their machines on a piece of sheet metal, that linus akinned to a desktop pc case without the front and side panels was chefs kiss.

DHH is such an OG [1] tech founder, I don’t think I realized his first paychecks from 37Signals was in the form of apple tech. What a shift to being such an apple fanboy to rage quitting and building a great linux distro that is siphoning his followers out of Mac. I love the reminder of Gary V’s Jab, Jab, Right Hook. Meaning that you should build a following first, give, give, teach, show you have value then ask for something. The host mentioned one day they were frustrated with something, his co-founder suggested basecamp, and his response was buy it. Not shop around, see if theres something better, just buy it. He said these are my people, they’ve already given so much that I have no questions to whether or not we should give them money. References: [1]: /og/
