@mattpocockuk I've been using something like that in my projects recently. I call them feature folders instead of packages. On the same page. I kinda hate barrel files though.. Any specific reason you use them?

Here's a skill you can run once to set up deep modules in any TypeScript codebase:
- Each 'package' lives at src/packages/ (name/path is totally customizable)
- From outside the package, you can only import from /index.ts
- Tests for the package live at /tests, and can only import from index.ts
- No circular dependencies between packages
- Puts a context pointer inside AGENTS.md so the agent knows about it (no skills needed)
- Works with frontend or backend code (even Effect code!)
- Enforced by dependency-cruiser
This means you can hide stuff inside modules, with only a single test seam exposed. Clear seams, deterministically enforced: no more shit tests.
Awaiting a merge. Should I ship it?

@daradoescode @jasonliu @sama @theo @davis7 @mweinbach @film_girl Is "insectoid mars battles" a reference to Enders Game? If so, nice!
English
gpt-5.5 party was insane. can confirm @jasonliu is the most performative OAI dev ever lol (said w/ love). took a photo w/ @sama.
spent sometime at @theo's talking insectoid mars battles w/ @davis7, @mweinbach, vogel n @film_girl (ben only talked abt gstack once thankfully😭)
also thanks for the codex badges @ryanvogel :D
n ofc loved meeting all of my fellow GOBLIN MAXXERS
leaving sf makes me sad it feels like my other half, but makes me even more pumped for my next trip here prob an internship next summer :P
till then i will keep "building things"

@boristane Are you still using Claude Code? You gotta try GPT 5.4 (Medium or XHigh). Trust 🙏

I'm building a rather big feature
I'm using ai for everything
instead of just building the feature I'm working on an extensible primitive to make it more versatile
ngl ai sucks at this type of work
the scope is wide and requires long term thinking, and despite writing and reviewing pages and pages of markdown files
it still:
- doesn't fully complete tasks (despite explicit todo lists I ask it to cross check)
- ignores existing patters in the codebase (although explicitely spelled out in the plan document), and
- takes every shortcut it can
my rule of thumb now is, if an agent works over 45mins on a task, it's probably gonna be ass

@jenewland1999 @theo maybe, you cut up a video just like you cut the lawn.

In 2021, Frame got bought by Adobe for $1.2 billion.
In 2026, I was able to rebuild it in 2 weeks, with only 1-2 hours a day of work.
Theo - t3.gg@theo
Frame․io is falling apart. I wanted something better. Something simple, fast and reliable. I'm excited to introduce lawn․video, an open source video review platform. It flies. This video is not sped up at all. 100 gigs of storage, unlimited seats, $5/month.

@anametolast @boristane I guess.. but there's still the interface piece. And shareable links without giving access to your entire repo.

@RhysSullivan claim your org too so you have your personal set of packages (@rhys/ui, @rhys/skills, etc)

what large features should I run claude in a loop to try adding to bun
constraints:
- must have a large test suite with positive & negative tests that verify it works
- must have strong evidence of being something people want & would use bun for

@ryanvogel @better_auth @neondatabase @DrizzleORM "locked just to me"
I was wondering if that was possible with passkeys. I'll have to figure it out.
English
I think my solution now for personal problems is just shipping it with @better_auth passkey support, locked just to me
that way I can init a project with
1. bunx create-next-app
2. opencode run /init-starter
and it will setup
- @neondatabase with @DrizzleORM
- @better_auth with passkey
- @inboundemail with the domain (this is pretty cool because I have a deep flow coming where you can pass a @vercel oauth token and it will auto add your DNS records)
vogel@ryanvogel
the biggest blocker for personal projects is auth at this point

@Baconbrix I'm a young professional heavily considering moving to Austin (for a few years, my endgame is also SF). What was your experience there and what do you think about young, ambitious people moving there?

@saradietschy love this for you! as a guy that did CS, i often pushed back when non-CS people said "you must be really smart" and "I could never do that" because I truly believe anyone can learn to program. I'm not special lol. I'm glad AI is empowering people to take those first steps.
English
Let me rephrase this
I've basically gone back to school. I'm doing what I thought getting a comp sci degree a decade meant. Condensing years of learning into months with AI and doing it via real projects and I FEEL ENERGIZED
Realizing a dream that I've had for so long
Sara Dietschy 🍑y@saradietschy
It's crazy how much I'm learning right now it's a lot of fun
