Agents are just like humans. They'll only skim the top of the instructions (head -40!), then just jump right into the action.

Nothing triggers me faster than a git log full of: "update" "fix" "changes" "asdf" "final for real this time" A commit is an atomic change. Your history is the story of your architecture. Treat it like one.

Got em. I poison my AGENTS.md (and other things like code comments) all over the place with prompt injections like this to find people who don't review their code and sling it off to another human. Catches folks all the time and then its an instant ban. As I've said, I don't care if you don't review your own code. But if you're submitting code to an OSS project and crossing a human boundary, it is simple courtesy to do some human review.

Some programming languages have so much syntactic sugar you get syntax diabetes.

Amazing story: the Czech government spent six years planning a series of dams. A family of beavers constructed the dams for free, in 1-2 says, in the same locations that human picked, accomplishing the goals set by the Czech government and saving humans $1.2 million

OpenAI is taking on a lease for 90,000 sq feet at the Puck Building in SoHo, where the now closing REI Store is. This is a metaphor.
