Thanks for mentioning this.

That's the case for me.

I still use agents for everything, but started on doing my best to single-task.

Think or plan while it's running.

Feels wasteful, but it's powerful.

I hope people see this comment.

Meditation is to mental training and focus, as going to the gym is to physical training.

Socials killed our attention span. Agents are literally making us context switch even more.

Putting aside the whole "I am at piece and one with the world" part of meditation, it is extremely hard.

I'm also no expert. When I'm waiting for something to finish (agent, compilation, etc), I've found that staring at a wall ends up in a net positive in productivity rather than replying to a message, going on X, or kicking off another agent.

Let's not forget the quality and calm of high quality newsletters.

If you need an RSS feed for a blog that doesn't have one, open an issue!

I've started getting support from other contributors. Please support them too!

Literally posted about this but w.r.t to agent-skills yesterday: https://olshansky.substack.com/p/why-every-developer-needs-t...

Need to move from skill downloads to skill usage.

tl;dr "scrt [set|get|list|....]" is also a great option

If this is of interest, I also recommend looking into: https://github.com/loderunner/scrt.

To me, it's a compliment to 1password.

I use it to save every new secret/api key I get via the CLI.

It's intentionally very feature limited.

Haven't tried it with agents, but wouldn't be surprised if the CLI (as is) would be enough.

Yes and no.

---

Concrete example of a no: I set up [1] in such a way that anyone can implement a new blog -> rss feed; docs, agents.md, open-source, free, etc...

Concrete example of a yes: Company spends too much money on simple software.

--- Our Vision ---

I feel the need to share: https://grove.city/

Human Flywheel: Human tips creator <-> Creator engages with audience

Agent Flywheel: Human creates creative content <-> Agent tips human

Yes, it uses crypto, but it's just stablecoins.

This is going to exist in some fashion and all online content creation (OSS and other) will need it.

As with everything, it Obvious

The thesis/approach is:

- Humans tip humans as a lottery ticket for an experience (meet the creator) or sweepstakes (free stuff) - Agents tip humans because they know they'll need original online content in the long-term to keep improving.

For the latter, frontier labs will need to fund their training/inference agents with a tipping jar.

There's no guarantee, but I can see it happening given where things are movin.

Resurfacing a proposal I put out on llms-txt: https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/llms-txt/issues/88

We should add optional `tips` addresses in llms.txt files.

We're also working on enabling and solving this at Grove.city.

Human <-> Agent <-> Human Tips don't account for all the edge cases, but they're a necessary and happy neutral medium.

Moving fast. Would love to share more with the community.

This is great, but it saddens me that this is still just the average total compensation of a single engineer at Anthropic.

Unsure what the future looks like unless Frontier Labs start financing everything that is open source.

I didn't get my name on this, but contributed to it as an undergrad: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6903679

We sped up fMRI analysis using distributed computing (MapReduce) and GPUs back in 2014.

Funny how nothing has changes.
