@kitlangton @dhh With the ability for an agent to add embedded annotations via the CLI? 😍

@dhh Thank you for sparing me 🙏😭 And yes, I'm working on comments and the singular scrolling diff view right now actually!

What a delightful TUI! Next version of Omarchy will ship it as a lazy-installed default. So you can just type ghui and it'll get pulled, just like we do with opencode, codex, etc. github.com/basecamp/omarc…

@Jason I'm in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

People of pi. RFC. Already did so on Discord. Seems like pretty much everyone is OK with that. Happy to answer questions.

AT LAST! Custom Status Lines are coming to Codex 🙌 This is just one of many highly requested features in the pipeline. You can now run /statusline to configure exactly what shows in your terminal. Choose from 15 data points, toggle them on/off, or even reorder them. One thing I'd love to see in the future is to be able to install custom extensions that would allow you to customize their styling or run custom scripts (like weather updates). More updates coming soon, but this is the most mature imminent release (0.99 Alpha). Codex team is absolutely cooking.

@gill_kyle I just had the chance to try it out, love it. Thank you!

@buildkata Open source! Rip and tear! github.com/gillkyle/agent…

Introducing agent-tail: a dev tool that makes your logs easily accessible to agents. npm i agent-tail Wrap dev server commands, add the Vite/Next plugin, install the skill, and your agent has full context of your browser, server, and any other logs. Link to full docs below ↓

Recent addition to claude code: /debug helpful for cleaning up configuration issues (run at start) or solving issues that happen during a session

I mentioned recently that I've been... busy. Lots of projects in the oven, in various stages of completeness. Well, I'm now pleased to introduce one I've worked very hard on, because it's so near-and-dear to my heart: beads_rust, or br for short. You can get it here: github.com/Dicklesworthst… It's a fast, minimal Rust port of @Steve_Yegge's amazing Beads project that I've built so many of my workflows around. Discovering Beads and seeing how well it worked together with my MCP Agent Mail was a truly transformative moment in my agent coding workflows and professional life more generally. This quickly also led to my beads_viewer (bv) project, which added another layer of analysis to beads that gives swarms of agents the insight into what beads they should work on next to de-bottleneck the development process and increase velocity. It's beads (and mail) all the way down. I'm very grateful for finding beads when I did and to Steve for making it. But at this point, my Agent Flywheel System is built around beads operating in a specific way. As Steve continues evolving beads toward GasTown and beyond, our use cases have naturally diverged. The hybrid SQLite + JSONL-git architecture that I built my tooling around (and independently mirrored in MCP Agent Mail) is being replaced with approaches better suited to Steve's vision. Rather than ask Steve to maintain a legacy mode for my niche use case, I created this Rust port that freezes the "classic beads" architecture I depend on. The command is br to distinguish it from the original bd. This isn't a criticism of beads; Steve's taking it in exciting directions. It's simply that my tooling needs a stable snapshot of the architecture I built around, and maintaining my own fork is the right solution for that. Steve has given his full endorsement of this project.

I was wondering why claude code hadn't released a new version in a while, then checked npm ... 2.1 imminent? 👀

One of the longest running schisms in programming is that of static vs dynamic typing. I've heard a million arguments from both sides throughout my entire career, but seen very few of them ever convinced anyone of anything. As rationalizations masquerading as reason rarely do in matters of faith. The rider will always justify the way of the elephant. That's not to say there aren't people who've switched camps. In fact, such individuals usually shout the loudest rationalizations of all. Often with the charm of a livelong omnivore suddenly turning vegan or a traditional banker who caught a lucky ride on crypto. The shorter the faith, the brighter the flame. Personally, I'm unashamedly a dynamic typing kind of guy. That's why I love Ruby so very much. It takes full advantage of dynamic typing to allow the poetic syntax that results in such beautiful code. To me, Ruby with explicit, static typing would be like a salad with a scoop of ice cream. They just don't go together. I'll also confess to having embraced the evangelical position for dynamic typing in the past. To the point of suffering from a One True Proposition affliction. Seeing the lack of enthusiasm for dynamic typing as a reflection of missing education, experience, or perhaps even competence. Oh what folly. Like trying to convince an introvert that they'd really like parties if they'd just loosen up a bit. That actually it's really fun to be in crowded rooms, for hours on end, shouting to communicate, because how about that VIBE! These days, I've come to appreciate the magnificence of multiplicity. Programming would be an awful endeavor if we were all confined to the same paradigm. Human nature is much too varied to accept such constraint on its creativity. Could you imagine if all visual art had to be rendered in the style of cubism? Or realism? Or all novels written in the short, direct flavor of Hemmingway? What a bore it would all quickly be! It would ruin the magic of programming. This unique fusion of art and engineering. But it took a while for me to come to these conclusions. I'm a recovering solutionist. So when I see folks cross their heart in disbelief that anyone, anywhere might fancy JavaScript over TypeScript, I smile, and I remember the days when I'd recognize their zeal in the mirror. That's not to say all matters of programming approaches boil down to equal but different mindsets. There are limits to this relativism. But dynamic vs static typing is certain within its confines. So too is functional vs object-oriented programming. Poles on both these axes have shown to deliver excellent software over the decades (and awful stuff too!). Now people are blessed with a capacity to express themselves equally well from either end. Such ambidextrous nature seems rare, though, as evidenced by the utter disbelief so frequently expressed by either side that the other might hold a reasonable position. I am not ambidextrous. I do not enjoy static typing, and objects animate my mind's eye. But I have come to appreciate the fact that others illuminate their creativity with just as much intensity as I do mine, using functional programming constraints and explicitly spelled out types. As long as I never have to soil my Ruby with type hints or write all front-end code in TypeScript, I can so happily coexist with those who adore Go or can't stand JavaScript. Vive la différence!

Remember sitegeist.ai, my funky browser agent? Well, decided to make it free and OSS. It did summarize YouTube videos before it was cool! OSS will take a bit of clean-up. If you can't wait, you can already install it from here: sitegeist.ai/install

@coderabbi That is so awesome ❤️

Not gonna lie, feels pretty good to still hear things like this every now and then over a decade later.

workaround (thanks @Road_Kill11): /approvals --> read-only mode not exactly plan mode, and a bit clunky to switch back & forth, but it does stop codex from automatically making changes

Does Codex CLI have plan mode or anything that will emulate it? I just keep telling it "give me a plan of what to do, but don't make any changes" ... kind of annoying

@Road_Kill11 thanks, just found it with /approvals 🤝

@buildkata it has a read only mode

@madsmadsdk Hell yeah! I'd be tempted to root for the Sollerod Gold Diggers btw, anytime the football/soccer topic comes up I think of this skit youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE…

@buildkata We have an american football league in Denmark 😁

Time to kick back with beer and snacks, and watch Denmark fumble their World Cup qualification 🇩🇰 This is football. Not that weird ass thing you play on the other side of the pond, designed to further lining the pockets of your broligarchy, through endless interruptions and commercials 🏈 How are you even bestowing the title of “World Champions” upon your Super Bowl champion, when it’s actually just a “National Football League”? Get real bruh! #DENSCO

Nice to see the founder using one of my PRs... 😊 github.com/laravel/framew…

@dakdevs @thecto One of the unintended side effects of AI coding

@buildkata @thecto it's been made too easy to iterate on

Never listen to users, always listen to customers. first week of starting Zero; everyone was asking for this
