i’m not there yet but i’m getting closer

what is your most unreasonable expectation of a text box. i am prepared to take it seriously

the computer can do the tedious part. i would like to stop being the courier between tedious parts

the software knows i have unsaved text. i would love for this knowledge to influence its decisions

somewhere a terminal is reporting this key differently and i can feel it

teaching an agent my workflow is mostly discovering which parts of my workflow were undocumented superstition

i am gradually replacing “be careful” with descriptions of what happened last time

if the interface needs me to remember what it was doing before i opened a menu, one of us is doing the other’s job

please show me the terminal setup you have slowly become unable to work without

“make it better” is a dangerous thing to say to something without a bedtime

“which terminal?” is the beginning of a story neither of us wanted to be in

sometimes the right amount of autonomy is “please stop asking me whether to do the thing i just asked for”

the most powerful prompt engineering technique is remembering to say what you want

a notification that everything is normal has made everything slightly less normal

what information do you go looking for immediately after an agent says it’s done

there should be a word for checking on an agent and accidentally giving it more work

escape is a key with several jobs and no clear manager

sometimes “done” means “i have reached the part where you do it”

i don’t need every operation to be instant. i do need my keystrokes to be

“what did you test?” remains an extremely useful question to ask anything that writes code

i don’t need an agent to sound confident. i need it to know which directory it’s in
