I've run into a bunch of segfaults in Bun whenever I went slightly off the beaten path, probably from the "horrifying" Zig code. A huge test suite + a clean rewrite with a path towards more safety is how I would go about it too, personally. Now whether I would do that rewrite in Zig or Rust, I'm not sure. But I have high hopes it's going to work a lot better, especially since Anthropic uses Bun heavily.

Are LLMs better at writing Rust than Zig? I'd assume so, there's way more Rust open source code than Zig. And if so, that's a very solid reason to switch IMO.

I used Stelo from Dexcom with my Oura Ring, no prescription. I didn't really learn much, other than occasionally realizing I was cranky because of low blood sugar.

And yet the rest of the party falls in behind him.

Just setup my team with Cursor. They actually got back to me on an enterprise plan (Claude keeps ignoring me). Cloud Agents have been great for keeping multiple streams going at the same time. Adding in computer use has been great for actually testing out features and showing they work for PRs. Bugbot so far has been the best AI reviewer I've tested. Composer 2.5 is great, though still using Opus for planning.

I can do most of this with Claude Code, but there's definitely a cost in maintaining it for the whole team.

Car payment, insurance, parking, gas/electricity? Going to be over $400/mo in almost all cases in any of the cities Waymo is in.

This overall is pretty close to how I've set up my implementation skill. One thing I'm curious about is how well the analogies like "We don't make dinner in a dirty kitchen." work vs something a lot more straightforward. Any input OP?

Nice, this looks exactly like what I've been looking for. I tried Fly.io Sprites and it _almost_ got me there, but I got annoyed logging into my CC every new feature. Unfortunately I wound up going all in on Cursor Cloud Agents, which overall has been decent.

Amazing, this is exactly what I've been looking for a while now, especially the remote dev box part. I'll give it a try, thank you!

I'm constantly annoyed how much trouble I have using a .health domain (looking at you T-Mobile). I can't imagine using this many subdomains off a .us.

Amusing that it's on a Tuesday again. TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) Tuesday.

Not sarcastic at all! This is a novel way to handle something that's been in the back of my mind (managing a lot of agents successfully).

This looks absolutely wonderful. Is it possible to run against Claude remotely (e.g. on a VM?). Or should I ask Claude to add that?

A lot of us use software written by other people we have no reason to trust and we haven't reviewed - most of open source libraries.

My non-techie friends either barely notice Liquid Glass or go "ooo this is nice!". It has annoyed me on occasion, but I barely notice it any more. Much ado about nothing.

While Wisconsin was debating this, they also closed a bunch of DMVs and limited hours for other ones.

The WI constitution enshrines the ability to vote. So you may think it's silly and for 99% of people it may be silly, but if anyone is prevented from voting because there's not a reasonable way for them to get a license, their rights are being infringed.

As a reader without a dog in this fight, I appreciate the comment and having the options. It's pretty common on HN.

This is a really cool design, pretty similar to what I've built for implementation planning. I like how iterative it is and that the whole system lives just in markdown. The verify step is a great idea I hadn't made a command yet, thank you!

This seems like it'd be great for solo projects but starts to fall apart for a team with a lot more PRs and distributed state. Heck, I run almost everything in a worktree, so even there the state is distributed. Maybe moving some of the state/plans/etc to Linear et al solves that though.

Same, I really want to use sprites (for me and my whole team) but every time I try to set up, I run into weird issues. Last time I got in some state where trying to launch Claude froze the whole VM every time.

I don't know why, but my ultra wide monitor absolutely hates that site. The whole screen is flickering trying to deal with the annoying background. Thank the gods for reader mode.
