That behavior wouldn't be clear to me as a user unless it were spelled out like you just did. My expectation when I see "Not Now" is that there will be a "Sometime Later". I would recommend changing your language here.


Things don't seem much better over there, esp. with Google removing the ability to sideload apps.


As opposed to iPhones were you can .. sideload apps? Your criticism is fair, but not really relevant to the conversation here.

OP was talking about design languages


Autism-per-capita is very high here. :)


It's a GPU shader(s), so you'd have to measure its resource usage indirectly (device heating up; shorter battery life).


I strongly recommend to you to read the book Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. I think it will resonate with you.


Your recommendation is not the first one I have seen. I'll pick it up.


and get 30+ minutes of quality exercise (preferably a few hours before bed).


That's fantastic. I recently bought a Lofree mechanical keyboard (they're a Chinese brand) and they definitely have the most unusual hardware designs I've ever seen.

??? Many developers, experienced and not, play around with vibe coding. Is your critique of him that he has tried vibe coding?


I’m critiquing him that he lied in his claim. And anyone who claims same is just farming engagement.


> Call it what you want, you can write it in 100 lines of Python. I encourage every programmer I talk to who is remotely curious about LLMs to try that. It is a lightbulb moment.

Definitely want to try this out. Any resources / etc. on getting started?


This is the classic blog post, by Thorsten Ball, from way back in the AI Stone Age (April this year): https://ampcode.com/how-to-build-an-agent

It uses Go, which is more verbose than Python would be, so he takes 300 lines to do it. Also, his edit_file tool could be a lot simpler (I just make my minimal agent "edit" files by overwriting the entire existing file).

I keep meaning to write a similar blog post with Python, as I think it makes it even clearer how simple the stripped-down essence of a coding agent can be. There is magic, but it all lives in the LLM, not the agent software.


> I keep meaning to write a similar blog post with Python...

Just have your agent do it.


I could, but I'm actually rather snobbish about my writing and don't believe in having LLMs write first drafts (for proofreading and editing, they're great).

(I am not snobbish about my code. If it works and is solid and maintainable I don't care if I wrote it or not. Some people seem to feel a sense of loss when an LLM writes code for them, because of The Craft or whatever. That's not me; I don't have my identity wrapped up in my code. Maybe I did when I was more junior, but I've been in this game long enough to just let it go.)


I highly relate to this. Code works or it doesn’t. My writing feels a lot more like self expression. I agree that’s harder to “let go” to an agent.


I wrote a post here with zero abstractions. Its all self contained and runs locally.
