Adult Roblox

I love the idea that normal people building software to solve real problems in their life is, necessarily, a toy; the only real software is blessed by our sacred priesthood of PLT experts.

Didn’t mean any judgement just the metaphor that came to mind

Roblox is a game where you make the game. This sounds like an OS where you make the OS.

Probably could have spelled it out more, being too pithy perhaps

No, you're fine, and I might be a little hair trigger; sorry about that.

LMAO that's horrifying.

We are many of us now engaged in a big experiment to see just how little you can read the code, and for how long. Considering the consensus is that we have still not yet passed the 1 year anniversary of agents getting good, it feels too early to say how it will play out. But there are a lot of market forces working to make it happen.

Yup - this! A big ol' experiment, we shall see how it goes. I'd be curious (if they exist) on some larger / older orgs with internet scale customer bases that are full in on AI development with limited human reading of it to see how they fare.

> That is currently working, but since the fix is fully deranged I expect it’ll be disturbed again at some point.

This one made me laugh out loud

It’s all experiments at this point

Clear and simple as the truth - another good one

If I were you I would look into maybe like analyzing sessions across harnesses? I’m not sure, some way to leverage this shared schema work that is not syncing

Because syncing is trivially solved by just telling the agent to keep a work journal in markdown

We do that, and it's really the point of the portability work. Once every harness's sessions live in one schema, you can manage and search all of them in one place.

The markdown journal is a fair way to do it, and a popular one. It has a couple of limits though.

A journal comes out of a prompt, so it records one way of looking at the session. Whatever that prompt didn't ask about is gone, and you usually find out which detail you needed much later. But the raw session still has it.

Being able to unify the schema lets you do things notes can't. You can continue a teammate's session on your own machine, or pick up a claude.ai conversation in Claude Code or Codex. The new agent gets the transcript: all the decisions in the trajectory, not a summary of it.

btw we also have an agent in the mac app that lets you analyze your sessions in all kinds of ways

To say what the author said in another way- thats a garbage approach and completely misses the point. Sure, you can completely destroy the session by distilling it into a markdown- but thats like explaining what you did yesterday, vs having an immutable log of what you did yesterday.

yup just joined the waiting list with a very similar use case in mind

I’ve always been surprised about the lack of discussion of amp on the front page here.

Tough selling dev tools these days

It feels like the Venn diagram of people who would use orbs and people who will just implement orbs themselves on top of something like E2B is basically a circle

Frustrating because JJ does have workspaces which are the comparison you’d actually want to make https://www.jj-vcs.dev/latest/working-copy/#workspaces

miro is my go-to for putting together diagrams for slide decks, but after having tried using it to actually work on things a few times, i've just come to the conclusion that actually virtual whiteboards are a bad UX for most things, inevitably you spend more time organizing the board than actually getting work done
