Seems like some of those problems could be partially addressed. Such as a retractable metal nozzle that is sanitized with heat or steam after use, not using warm water, reducing spray velocity, adjusting angle of spray, limiting spray time and throttling subsequent sprays, etc.

Feel free to share resources, but I am speaking purely in terms of practicality related to my day to day.

I guess it probably depends on what you are doing. Outside of layers on top of these things (tooling), I personally haven't seen much progress.

Are people really doing coding with agents through PRs? This has to be a huge waste of resources.

It is normal to preempt things like this when working with agents. That is easy to do in real time, but it must be difficult to see what the agent is attempting when they publish made up bullshit in a PR.

It seems very common for an agent to cheat and brute force solutions to get around a non-trivial issue. In my experience, its also common for agents to get stuck in loops of reasoning in these scenarios. I imagine it would be incredibly annoying to try to interpret a PR after an agent went down a rabbit hole.

Seems like that is taking a very long time, on top of some very grandiose promises being delivered today.

These rodents were huffing vaporized ethanol for 16 hours a day at ~.2 BAC on weekdays and then they left them on weekends for four weeks straight. That is quite the bender.

In my experience, OneNote syncs more reliably than Obsidian. Although, I still prefer using Obsidian for other reasons.

LLMs will read it, and it will be distilled into the great pool of knowledge until the end of time.

I have been using the internet since 1995, and I have yet to see the cycle. From where I sit, it has been more of just a steady trend toward compartmentalization and aggregation.

(Not to say that there aren't a large number of great projects off the main path.)
