Day 8 of 14: Wrote Laravel utilities and API endpoints digesting and serving info from a C codebase from 1996, created art assets in Illustrator/Photoshop, and wrote animations in PixiJs. Damn, this interactive clock project was quite the adventure! karinachowtime.com/portfolio…

I'm on cellphone hotspot WiFi and accidentally ran the `docker build --no-cache` command. 😭

This week we read research from a team of academics that ran a software task across 7 agents and 5 models. They found that in domains with a mature CLI ecosystem, agents without MCP baked in completed the task just as reliably and were 5-28x cheaper. Full arXiv paper below

TIL I've been designing in levels of dark greys and near black most people's devices won't show or distinguish between. I cry for my world of nuanced shadows.

It's so petty that Claude still refuses to look for skills in ~/.agents/skills. Every time I hit this, I deduct 5 goodwill points from the Anthropic account.

Secret Management. Trying SOPS since I'd still like to avoid adding an external service to this client project. Avoiding AWS, GCP, HashiCorp Vault but maybe I'm wrong?

Putting an inner review loop inside the ralph/agent loop seems to work pretty good. At least the findings seemed legit and would sometimes go 2-4 reviews before passing.

I'm already seeing the number of bash scripts and CLI tools exploding on my machine. With agents it's a fun time to live in the terminal.

Do you think employers are looking for agentic skills specifically? Projects you've built with agents? Or still fundamentals?

Instead of sub agents I'm playing with Pi and tmux to spawn and communicate with agents. It's nice to see more of what's going on.

Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream. I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter." How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it. Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it. I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder. I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it. You all are fired, CEO ThePrimeagen

Whoops. Careful when adding fish, bash, zsh config files to your dotfiles repo if you have something like an API key in there. All fixed now.

Where's your point of diminishing returns for automated tests? Where do you stop or skip them? Assume you're under a moderate amount of time pressure.

Second time in six months I really wish I already knew how to use nom or parser combinators in general. I'll find an excuse, sometime.
