I am absolutely more productive using agents. I don't know the factor but it's large. However much of that productivity is spent tuning the agents and hardening the product. I'm guessing 30%-40%.
Some might consider that a waste; but I don't. The software I'm creating nowadays is vastly more robust than I'd ever been able to create manually.
I don't mean that the code is better. I mean the surrounding tests are vastly better. I have a higher degree of confidence than I ever had manually -- even when I used very disciplined TDD and Acceptance testing.
And then there's the ability to quickly reorganize the modules and the architecture while keeping those robust tests running. That is a tremendous boon.
The Kitty graphics protocol renders true-pixel images in your terminal. So slk shows actual Slack avatars and images: pixel data, not blocky ASCII approximations.
This was the moment slk stopped feeling like a half-toy.
Slack on my laptop uses 1.5Gb of ram. The TUI I built last week to replace it uses 100Mb. Slack does quite well in the terminal!
Built in seven days with four AI agents running in parallel git worktrees.

What do yall use for a chat platform with customers? looking for open source or free ideally. #indiehackers
🔥BOOM, first sale after months of weekend / early AM hacking on clearlist.io. I am elated! 🚀
Now that I hit my goal of "make one dollar", time to move those goalposts!

There's something so satisfying about the "git fuckit" alias. It's like crumbling up a piece of paper and throwing it in the trash.
I use it all the time.

It is pretty amazing the development speed that #terraform enables when it works. It's an investment that pays off over time.
Took about 10000 tries but did manage to import all infrastructure into my #terraform state.
Like an idiot, I didn't check in .terraform.lock.hcl and now I need to import a million things. Is there an automated way to do this? #terraform
When I ran engineering at @ConvertKit, I saw first-hand the value of email list maintenance.
You could be doing everything right - double opt-in, re-engagement campaigns, etc.
Regularly validating your list just as valuable, which is why I'm building clearlist.io.
hi @madguy90 in SoR, why isn't the taser an unlockable reward? (love the game btw!)
Just finished up my first day at @digitalocean! I'm super excited to have joined such an incredible team!
Stoked for this! Did it in ruby last year. Gonna try this year's with #golang!
Need a vacation from 2020? Why not go on an adventure and learn programming at the same time?
#AdventOfCode 2020 starts December 1st!!
