As with anything. Either you can go full-speed without much understanding and hit a wall when you need to understand stuff or you can go a manageable speed and actually understand the codebase.

I don't think we can do both. The difference is that it's optional now depending on the project and the audience.

> You can never ask why a model did a certain thing

Of course you can! It might be following outdated docs or read something in legacy code and tried to follow that pattern and it'll tell you as much if you ask it in a way that actually gets you the reason instead of it thinking it needs to immediately fix the mistake.

Wasn't 2000 the first NT architecture on desktop?

2000 is, by far, my favourite Windows OS.

Could you just give me reference peeking without opening a full tab?

I dunno about this. Agent discovery is needed, yes. But I don't trust the tech companies right now to do this in a privacy preserving manner. I feel like it'll be used to collect all sorts of data not intended for the parties. Even in the flight ticket example, a third-party insurance or ad-tech company could listen to the request for ticket prices and determine intent to travel (including destination and dates).

I use Conductor's spotlight (and a Pi extension I derived from it) but it's not perfect. Once a migration executes, I'm pretty much bound to it but at least once, I have just backed up the database before switching and then restored that.

Looks like a useful tool but I don't know anything about construction.

Love the transparent AI helper implementation though. I feel like you don't even need to say it's AI because it's so helpful but not in your face but maybe that's what people are searching for.

None of these billionaires are going to lead you to the dreams of the future that you have.

And don't forget the negative effects on other people, otherwise that's just selfish.

You definitely need to provide evidence of use.

Pi.dev is pretty good in giving tons of control to the use and has extensions that you can easily build.

Although people are complaining about its RAM usage in this thread, I haven't bothered to check how much RAM it uses.

Isn't the key thing with skills that the description is used to match them from a prompt that doesn't mention them?

Would a prompt library do that too?

Just like with mass-produced materials vs hand-crafted stuff, you're gonna have a lot of crap quality and rare, expensive good quality stuff.

For 9.7 million, I would spend a considerable amount of time trying to recover that.

> keyboard/shortcut situation is absolutely cursed. Not different...actually cursed

You know, you can change almost any shortcut you want with Karabiner (app). You don't even need to memorize them.

When I first switched to Mac after using Ubuntu for 4 years before that, I didn't expect this level of customization. It's misunderstood because Apple doesn't advertise this.

Building a tool to help review changes made by AI agents in response to PR review comments.

The key functionality is to be able to easily see the changes made for each comment, rather than each file.

Only if never find opportunities to simplify the code it's writing and you don't review the code at all.

> no matter what direction you take, you'll get high quality code

This is not the case today. You get medium-quality, sometimes over-engineered code 10x faster.

I like the idea of tying the products to the companies but just make two categories: Indie (default) and Big companies.
