Anyone else feel like a DJ when working with agents?

Juniors have it hard these days. Between the pressure to use AI, the constant barrage of "You need to learn this", and the economic pressure of late stage capitalism. I feel for them. Burn out is a real occupational hazard.

"There’s no way to know what an AI agent is doing. Not in the sense of knowing exactly the steps the agent took to complete a task, or to reach a failing state. There’s no backtrace, no information about why something didn’t work." apichangelog.substack.com/p/why-ai-age...

One of the unforeseen perks of living in the best cycling country in the world is dirt cheap and lightly used secondhand parts.

Looking forward to wearing a rain jacket in the Netherlands today says all you need to know about the drought and the climate crisis.

Greenfield projects are so much fun.

If you want to make the world a better place, you (yes, you!) are going to need to sacrifice a little sometimes. You’re going to need to pay taxes, you’re going to need to turn the A/C down you’re going to need to be a little less comfortable sometimes. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you.

Announcing co/core: a social computing experiment from the Graze team

I love a good feasibility study. This is an important middle ground between running everything locally and handing the future of AI to Big Tech. A practical vision for cooperative and sovereign AI infrastructure. Build it together. Own it together. cooperativeblueprint.ai/wp-content/u...

I wish people spent as much time imagining post scarcity in detail as they spend imagining doom. First you have to imagine it
