I don’t see it as being able to build everything though. With a tight scope and task it is though damn impressive and incrementally building things with a good experienced code/architect at the wheel. I’d never ask it to build a whole app from scratch but expand on a feature no problem.

I feel a lot of this is from the coders building it using it, seeing the value in it and extrapolating the benefits to “everything” when as you say code can be tested, it’s a measurable and logical activity. That doesn’t mean it’s great at everything but it’s assumed so as it’s good at coding

Have you tried asking ChatGPT? It’s no doctor but it is pretty good at raising things you might not have tried. Give all your symptoms and history but try not to pass on any biases and see what it says. I’ve fixed tight hamstrings and a dodgy knee with it that have plagued me for years.

Did my first run for about 14 years. Out for a whole hour of run-walk-run and then a shopping trip at the end too.

Time to start putting my body a bit more up the priority list. Although not looking forward to not being able to walk in 2 days time if past experience is anything to go off!

I’ve been working with it a lot and I’ve got two habits that seem to help. One it atomic commits per feature with a good commit message and the other is getting the agent to add/update a mental model doc which is kept intensionally brief. This then allows me to both load up my brain and the AI’s

Coding with AI agents in Cursor IDE is like something out of StarTrek.

Very productive but the whole time you can feel your own coding muscle memory wasting away.

But I do sort of love it. 30+ years of coding and now I can have an idea and it just makes it happen before my eyes.

Are you open to doing commisions?

Oh I like that idea

I’ve a theory similar to this is common sense vs academic ability. My brother is insanely academic but can’t do any day to day life thinking/tasks.

Like there’s an allowance or some dials you have to choose from. You can’t have it all.

New job is keeping me very busy but in such a good way. Got my mojo back and my mind is firing on all cylinders again. Amazes me how much of a funk I’d got into through just being bored at work.

My mind needs agency and problems to solve. Now got that so it is flying!

Tiring in a good way.

Lakes? Bracing but it doesn’t half make you feel alive and special to be able to feel the space when it’s a cold one like that. Envious!

It’s a sign that your moving back up north

Some really striking numbers in this new survey showing the flip in European public opinion about America.

But bear in mind this is only Western Europe. In Eastern Europe, it has been harder to take the blinders off peoples' eyes.

Is the Leeds meet still going? I’ve missed the last few

If we assume they do try intimidation at the polls and it boosts voting turn out and Dems get more votes I can see Trump then just using the surge as proof of “dems rigging” and some how claim the whole thing is corrupt so he claims it null and void somehow (or something like that). Seems a win/win?

The authors "estimate that by 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP per capita by 6 to 8 percent, investment by 12 to 18 percent, employment by 3 to 4 percent, and productivity by 3 to 4 percent. These effects grew gradually over time." www.nber.org/202602/diges...

What a total disaster... 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Opens the door to some USA channels/dollar though I bet

Critics slam Pam Bondi’s demand for Minnesota voter rolls amid ICE surge Outrage mounts after US attorney general’s request as state reels from the weekend killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis

The theft isn't over. ICE thugs are now demanding state-level voter data at gunpoint. If they get that data, presumably, they will throw it into the mix with all the other stolen data available to repression as a service.

So the word “pinnacle” has now taken on a whole need meaning for me! #bridgerton

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES:

1. Government lies

2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth

3. Press says “the government is lying!”

HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE

1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth

2. Government lies

3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

🗞️ Some news!

The Trump Action Tracker now has a bot that automatically posts new actions to Bluesky, along with link to news story & authoritarian categories.

Follow to stay up to date! We are adding about 10 actions a day at the moment 😢

Does there come a point where it’s worth taking a hit to make a stand though? You always seem to be leaning to bending like the reed in the wind regardless so we take the least amount of damage (which I agree with mostly) but there has to be a point of saying enough surely? Would love your view.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.

Oooh files! I want files!

Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch.
DMs open.

AI is a reeealllly good match for late night coding 😁

Utter game changer and my other coder friends don’t get as many “you up? I’m stuck” messages.

“Journeys are safer & smoother when we all work together”

Lovely common sense road rules ad from Wokingham Borough Council.

I propose the only way of getting through *all this* for the foreseeable is to Bring Back Morning Tea Break.

I declare 11am to be time for A Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down. And maybe a chat. About the weather.

Hell yes to this.

Is there nothing that could be done in the meantime? A sort of “please disable this feature until we’ve checked up on it”. Does seem quite daft that it can keep producing 1000’s of new pics a day with no way to at least pause it.
