It’s like they took the ease of use and ergonomics of pasting an ssh key into a known_hosts file on a remote server after forgetting which is the private or public key for the millionth time but applied that to logging in to buy movie tickets with no explanation and oh my god that IS what they did.

An approach to agent-based software development and orchestration where you put in some prompts and then tons of little AI bots doing lots of little discrete tasks send each other messages, eventually emitting and testing code, in order to build large software systems. Jury is extremely out though.

@ftrain.bsky.social I tried to make a clone of the aboard card URL app that is being sunset end of this month (😔) with Claude code, and came quite a way: github.com/Diederikjh/u... in about 4 hours

Still needs boards and tags and lots, but for my use case (recipes too keep) this is enough
GitHub - Diederikjh/url-cards: A simple web app for creating and managing cards from URLs.

Yerp. Usually I keep everything inside of tmux running forever so it’s all in one space but I rebooted the server and forgot to run tmux.
