"Functions under five lines are a sign of premature optimization."
One ast-grep warning, worded as an instruction. The first time Claude hit it, it checked the call sites and cleaned up after itself.
With @hd_nvim

The week I launched on @devhunt_, I saw very strange voting activity. What was just my launch week turned into looking at all of October.
103 throwaway accounts voted only for three launches, and those launches took two of October's four weekly #1s.

It's great DevHunt's committed to fixing it, but @patricknegri and @mihai_respira also deserve better

"I rewrote tree-sitter with ChatGPT."
Parsing was ast-grep's bottleneck, so @hd_nvim ported tree-sitter's C core to Rust. He asked ChatGPT to make it 10 or 20% faster, and it did.

🚀 Taskless CLI 0.13.7
Deeper Oxlint support: your agent turns on Oxlint rules the same way it does for Ruff. Writing a rule now either finishes or leaves .taskless/rules/ as it was. Plus a fix so a local build of Taskless can adopt a nightly.

"How do you know?"
Look, if we had the answer for that we would have stuck it in the agent several opuses (opii?) ago
Engineers are still needed, even if we can't articulate why

"So this is very dangerous."
@hd_nvim on how a cloned repo's sgconfig.yml could load malicious code the moment you run ast-grep. Custom languages are opt-in now, so upgrade.

Confession: I’ve scrolled past dozens of comments on a PR just to find out why I couldn’t merge it. More times than I’d like to admit.
Agents have made this a lot worse. They push commits and leave review comments of their own, and all of it lands in the timeline. PR timelines have gotten dramatically noisier, and the few things you actually need to know get buried.
My team is rethinking the foundations of the PR experience around that problem, and today the first piece went into public preview. The new Overview page puts merge readiness and your next step right at the top. A summary catches you up on review activity, and you can filter the conversation down to unresolved threads. It’s opt-in and rolling out through the weekend.
This is a much-needed start, and there’s a lot more coming as we modernize PRs for the way software gets built now. If you try it, we’d love to hear what still sends you back to the classic view.

🚀 Taskless CLI 0.13.6
The installer now asks separately before it touches your global agent settings, and verify stops passing a rule that didn't run. Your agent also finishes the upgrade once you've moved the CLI.

Round materials & the intelligence layer alone have saved me a few hundred hours of VC research. I'm utilizing my time better and spending it on the conversations that are moving Taskless forward.
IDK what else to offer. Get your raise stuff out of google docs and shoehorned CRMs. There's a better way.
Metal expands into Data Rooms.
Today, as part of our consolidation strategy,@Metalraise is launching a new platform for Data Rooms and Round Materials.
Founders can now upload round materials to @Metalraise share secured links with investors for analytics on viewing data, and get sharp insights into ways to improve their materials. These insights are based on rich user context, as well as off-market proprietary data on how capital markets perceive a particular operating space or business model.
With each passing quarter, advancements in the capabilities of underlying models are opening up new opportunities. In the near future, the process for raising venture rounds will look quite dissimilar from how it works today.
At Metal, we aim to lead the upcoming transition to bring greater efficiency and precision to private markets.

The question I hear most: why Taskless when we already run ESLint and Ruff?
Keep them. They check one file in one language. An agent changes five languages in one pass. The rules worth enforcing live between those files.

"Everything explode, nothing works."
@hd_nvim on asking AI to write ast-grep rules in early 2024. The best step of his pipeline passed 6% of the time.

🚀 Taskless CLI 0.13.5
Your agent now finds out when Taskless itself is out of date, before a command refuses. agent ok and a local check list the fix, and verify --json reports every fixture case.
