Having a little difficulty seeing how long this service will exist. People are terrible. Sooner or later it will be found and ruined.

Yup. I have long change my philosophy on things like these: just live the day. :-)
Iโm ambivert. When I spend time outdoors and with people I want to keep doing that, I become very extrovert. Canโt code in that mode. Itโs hard to switch back to introvert but when that happens time flies really quick. A month can pass and it feels like a week.
For the first time in a couple of year, I wove a rattan basket today, and the best part is it only took two hours when I was expecting it to take all day #basketrynotesenter to follow
The seductive power of using #ainotesenter to follow to just-get-it-done is very strong.
One can't hurry quality. One can iterate quickly though in the hope of arriving somewhere good.
I direct a plan, then break it into phases, and each phase into sections with tasks and sub-tasks. The plan outlines all phases, but only write tasks one phase at a time, since things change. #opinionnotesenter to follow
That's how I've been working with #ainotesenter to follow for the past few months to a year. It has been amazingly consistently high quality.
just-get-it-done is for the rough sketch or proof of concepts (I do those too and a lot of them) but never for a quality product. #opinionnotesenter to follow
It didnโt work out, we found competition offering the same service for free so the #ideanotesenter to follow fell apart. Need to find something else to do as a side project to textlog. ๐ Thinking of a code editor thatโs focused on the new agentic workflows, so you have it on the side regardless of your agent tools and it monitors the git diff and offers a nice panorama view. Iโve done an extension for VSCode similar to this idea.

As young kid I dreamed of working with reel-to-reel machines
Cutting/splicing tape, happy accidents
As a teen I couldn't afford reel-to-reel but got decent with multi-track cassettes
Everyone was telling me digital was The Way (tm)
In my 30s, I finally learned how to use a DAW properly
In my 40s, I'm back to playing around with multi-tracks cassettes
There is no money in it, but I'm enthusiastic as I can be

Whatโs the difference between a script-kiddy and a real #developernotesenter to follow? Abstraction. You can program your whole life without learning how to meaningfully abstract problems into simpler pieces that TRULY make the problem easier to understand.
Iโm not talking about design patterns or #OOPnotesenter to follow vs #FPnotesenter to follow. These tools can help. But to really simplify something for others, you need an intellectual empathy that many simply never figure out.
ooh maybe I revive hallucinate.site and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And itโs the perfect domain, a site thatโs been entirely mostly hallucinated.
Do you code in silence or do you listen to music? If so, what kind of music do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Synthwave, vaporwave or the occasional country.
After months of hardly any rain, Iโm really enjoying a cozy day stuck indoors just listening to the downpour; getting on with doing some house cleaning. Is it too premature to declare this autumnโ
Really glad to be using Haskell for work - especially in today's climate with agentic coding.
Our team uses containers to keep our development environment consistent across team members, though, and most agent sandbox approaches want to either offload your work fully to the cloud or they want to sandbox the agent harness process itself.
We're not ready for full cloud based development (yet?) and sandboxing just the agent doesn't work for us when the agent needs to run docker.
#haskellnotesenter to follow#ainotesenter to follow
... because letting the agent run docker gives them a too-easy escape hatch from their sandbox.
So we're currently stuck with using VMs. This turns out to be tricky but seems do-able.
My current approach is to provision a VM image and use Incus for the execution. My main goal is to keep my current workflow of local/non-agent dev working seamlessly and share the source with the VM/agent.
This means sharing my working dirs with the agent VM but overlaying artifact dirs from VM-owned block devices so we don't take too big of an IO perf hit.
I also don't want the agent to be able to git push so that means we need some quirky git config to rewrite origin paths and thread through some agent specific PATs ("thanks" GitHub) for read-only repo access. These ALSO need to be threaded through to the development containers - they need to clone private repos.
... in the end, this seems to work but I haven't lived with it for long.
There are still some quality of life issues to work out, but I think it'll work out.
At this point, I've removed all coding agents from my host - and that's nice.
It's tangential to the sandboxing topic, really. I started the first post with a broader intent in mind and then elaborated on the sandboxing setup I'm working on.
For AI-assisted coding, though, it's nice because Haskell provides a lot of feedback earlier in the development process compared to lots of other languages. It tends to work once it compiles (obviously not all the time).
There are many distractions. Much is way too verbose. A calm, quiet and โdistraction lessโ experience suits me better. I am not sure my thoughts will fit in 280 characters, but letโs try and see how far that goes.

I'm curious how do people start writing longer novels.. what determines the length of it? Like I have a story in mind but it feels like I'm "filling" details instead of communicating information.
I hate it when I donโt remember if I took my midday pill or not. Not that it matters a lot, but still, annoying. I have notifications set up but I discard them by habit because they are exact times and my sleep pattern fluctuates.
I once saw someone flip their pill bottle upside down after taking a pill. Not sure it'd help me, because I suspect that somehow I'd still only pay half-attention when taking pills and so still get forgetful and confused :shrug:
when I took insulin I would always forget and got a cap that had a time since the last time I had uncapped the pen, worked really well so I never double dosed. they make similar tools for pill bottles, but the best has been just having a pill case as much as it makes me feel old.
Iโve disabled ALL notifications except my meds. I highly recommend it. I check messaging or emails every hour or sometimes once a day. If Iโm expecting someone to message me Iโll re-enable the app, but then disable after. It is so liberating!
Thatโs how Iโve had it but it didnโt work because Iโd get my midday notification like 1 hour after waking up. My day pattern โ pill pattern. They just have to be spaced properly so Iโd have to have relative notifications according to when I wake up lol.
I have an #ideanotesenter to follow, a website thatโs directly linked to an agent and modifies its source and deploys based on its usersโ requests. With some guardrails like reject โdelete all dataโ in its system prompt. #milliondollarideanotesenter to follow
ooh maybe I revive hallucinate.sitehallucinate.site and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And itโs the perfect domain, a site thatโs been entirely mostly hallucinated.
Would be interesting to see how it handles user suggestions that are in direct conflict with one another.
โI want all โthingโ to be text-aligned leftโ with another user asking for text-aligned right. Does it just center justify and call it a day?
Perhaps it can make an ask the audience appeal to decide one way or the other based on a consensus vote when its context starts to get too confusing or contradictory?
My first request will be for the agent to delete all vendor specific css completely no matter what breaks. No -webkit- no -moz- no vendor specific css at all. What could possibly go wrong? ๐ซฃ

Today, I wrote a new Business Continuity Plan, worked with my SRE manager to improve responses to alerts, got a cringe email from HR and have to tell my staff to RTO 3-days a week if not classified as remote. Worked out for my 8th day streak, and cuddled in bed with my girl.

I really like this minimal approach, I wish the maintainer great success with textlog.
whatever that may look like to them :)
I will make sure to check in occasionally.

creator of textlog have you consider NOT opening the API? and have a 1 way to come here and enjoy it? the rationale being that API also opens the door to the slopai?

signals. thinking about shifting my mental framework to identify signals instead of waiting for concepts to be assembled. exploring the amount of energy and opportunities for distractions through the operations of processing what just happened and what is happening to short circuit latent and unnecessary systems. cut through the assembly processes and identify the raw signals. recognizing that naming these "raw signals" is misleading. maybe, shifting observability lower in the stack.
