Current coding agents are really dumb. Most of them don’t have separate steps for planning and acting, and if they do, the process is disjointed and manual

Claude is super powerful. With better agents we could be getting so much more out of it.

Current agents just burn tokens

YEEEESSSS!! You can finally use Osprey's algebraic effects directly in the playground!!!

Check it out and star the f@#$ out of this thing!! ⭐️

I think Osprey can do algebraic effects…

Exactly! I’m tired of trying to build apps and saas products because there might be a market for them

I’m going back to building for the pure joy of it

The Osprey http server is full functional now. Useful examples coming soon. You can see all the functions in the doco.

The osprey playground now supports fibers. Check it out!

Actually, this is the full reason I built it

And here it is!!! My new programming language Osprey! This has been a 20 year long dream, finally made possible with AI assistance. So stoked this is finally possible! 🎉

Stars and shares appreciated! ✨
I want to build a community around this

Made this programming language with Claude 4, Go, Antlr and LLVM. Has nice pattern matching.

I just vibe coded a compiler with Claude Sonnet 4. God damn. This is next level

Looks good. Similar to GitKraken, but still looks like how someone who uses git all the time would think about a UI.

I think it would be possible to design a GUI that would make sense to someone who has no idea what source control is

Wanna know the most important skill as a software developer?

YouTube video by GitHub Two decades of Git: A conversation with creator Linus Torvalds

It took me years to fully embrace git after using SVN for many years

I still think it’s silly that nobody has made a GUI that makes git as simple to use as SVN, but git is an exemplar of elegance.

I lived my entire life not knowing how to solder. I feel like it’s an inevitable skill I’ll need to pick up now that robotics are a thing

Is anyone exploring hooking AI up to programmable robots and drones?

Do you work with anyone who insists that their code is better than AI code?

Honestly, it’s hard to imagine how anyone could believe that, but what are they like to work with?

Are they the kind of person that listens to feedback and tries to improve? Or, are they always right?

Humility: AI is better than you at coding. The sooner you accept that, the sooner the cognitive dissonance will stop hurting your brain

YouTube video by Christian Findlay Testing Endpoints With ASP .NET Core Integration Tests

I recommend all .NET devs learn about ASP .NET Core Integration Testing. It’s a far better way to test than unit testing.

Pro tip: instead of building every side quest out with Cursor, document it instead!

Use mermaid diagrams 👌

Put all your specs in a repo and when you feel like building, pick the one you can realistically finish

Stop Ignoring Problems In Your Codebase

What if your house had a private network of little robots like alexas that could move around on wheels and do things like turn on the stereo or whatever and play Spotify etc.

You could talk to it in any room and it would remember your previous convos

So are people putting MCP servers on top of their public APIs as a matter of course right now?

If not, why not?
