agents are never done #

Agentic coding has this nice trick of letting you bang out a project in an afternoon, something complex that would have take some real time to implement, not just some rounding error that can slip right in between the jira board. Then it will be perpetually never done. There will always be bugs and thorns rear their head up, new features no one ever thought of, and now no one really has to think much about beyond having the idea.

This part of software engineering has always been here, its the root of the never complete 200 side projects. But now it feels like fuel has been poured on the fire, like we can get more done than ever. But we are tricking ourselves, these projects will never be “done”. There’s always more to add. Without feeling any of the pain of implementing it yourself, why not just keep adding new features forever. This is the mentality that is crushing me right now.

It pulls at your token anxiety like crazy. You look at the usage board and you are almost cooked so y…

EDC

I try to keep a pretty light every day carry, but it never works out, keyfobs and headphone cases end up causing more bulk than I’d like, but My EDC is no where near the bulk I had as a kid with my cargo pants decked out with everything I could possibly need.

I hold no attachment to anything in my EDC. Nothing on my person has sentimental value. Anything I carry can be lost, stolen, or destroyed at any point in time. I pick things of sufficient usable, utilitarian, quality sufficient to work. No extra fluff.

  • Ridge Wallet

  • replacable

  • no emotional attachments

  • utilitarian

  • everything serves a purpose

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

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 agents

First W In Brotato #

After having brotato and doing a few runs every once in a while I finally beat the most basic balanced run in the game! Wyatt wanted to play tonight and its such an easy game to jump in do a few runs and move on without getting overly invested.

Watching back I cannot believe how lucky I got, barely scraping by with 1hp at this point

the last 80s of the game

damn Johnathan Blow is not afraid to give you the cold hard opinions. If you want to be good you need to spend your early most formative years doing hard things, because you will not do it later, then goes on to say you should not do anything related to web development during that time as it will rot your brain.

Thorsten is always a great listen with well thought out answers. I thought the advice “all you have to be is good” from his is so great, so many people focus too hard on credentials and certificates, they miss the time in the saddle and raw, just being good at what you do. They talk a lot about industry trends and that ai/llms have been here long enough to see that they are the new iphone. In some way you need to learn to work with them. Much of the minutia is churn, it will change and we will forget about it in six months. Working at amp right now is really trying to focus on releasing exactly the right thing and not everything. We’ve been given these great models that can churn out poc very quickly, it is our job to focus on what the right thing to adopt is.

one minute in, I cannot believe Prime has never used a password manager. For all the shit they give Trash for his one password, He does not use a password manager!
