WordPerfect was greatly superior to MS Word. Yes, I'm dying on that hill.

@thdxr On TRL? I grew up in the 90s, and not in New York, that's my only frame of reference.

@burkeholland I use skills like little scripts to automate my repeated tasks. So I have more.

I never got a Wikipedia page, but at least I'm AI relevant.

@gregpr07 a11y? Why don't we use more screen reader tech and fall back to images. But I think a better question is why? What's the use case. Because I can guarantee per use case there's a dumber approach than making generic computer use work.

Roughly 1 hour into clojure. Don't get it yet. Y'all love it because there's no syntax?

If you know what RFC 2119 is off the top of your head, you SHOULD question your life choices.

@OrenMe @GitHubCopilot No, they added support because Microsoft loves creating specifications. It's like they can't write a line of code unless they have a schema to describe it. I believe Microsoft has a team of architects that are paid by the count of MUSTs and SHOULDs written.

yet another failed attempt at using ACP. How do people use this crap. It's so limited, it gives you the worst experience possible.

@thdxr I think it's useful to see if AI will understand your API as a good litmus test, but beyond that I do not think you should change behavior for the LLM. Continue to assume humans will consume the API and it will be better.

i've been building things for developers for a long time which means i have a lot of experience with api design but LLMs are making me reset a bit instead of neat simple APIs it's probably worth trading that off for more powerful APIs

I'm building yet another orchestration system. That's what I do each week. I throw away the last one and create a new one. Orchestration systems is my sushi in "JIro Dreams of Sushi."

I wrote a "coding agent hook manager" and I really like it. Basically you just tell the agent, "When done run fancy-hook-manager to validate changes and address any feedback" and then fancy hook manager watches file changes and runs a bunch of configured lint/fmt/tests/ci in the background. Also will do AI reviews.

You'd think I'd really like clojure. It's really hard to get over the syntax. But one thing I've learned over the years of programming is that data structures are the most powerful things. And basically clojure pretty much only allows data structures (they are just ugly).
