Crap the entire repo is broke, I can't merge anything, ugh.
Oh fun, yet another way for the merge button to break.

ok, figured it out, this was stupid. The account I was using doesn't have permission to merge. Not the most useful error message.

Now I need macOS in the cloud but it must be able to run virtualization.framework. It just keeps getting harder...

Hmm, I built a harness runtime (that's what I'm calling discobox.ai now).

I'm in salt lake city, headed to kubecon tomorrow. I'll be there Tuesday and Wednesday.

Somebody explain to me why this is not a terrible idea. The last thing I want to do is manage capacity for my sandboxes. This effectively makes sandboxes the most expensive option.

Now this makes sense. I only hate rust when you shove into domains that make no sense.
As of today @ladybirdbrowser is now a Rust project with some legacy C++ that we'll continue porting over 🤓 We've made incredible progress on concurrency in our engine since adopting Rust. I believe "CSS off the main thread" is a game-changer for browser responsiveness, and we're pushing forward on it! On the safety side, it feels great to reduce our exposure to all the classic C++ traps, both temporal and spatial. One less (but very large) thing to worry about as we enter the most hostile computing environment mankind has devised: the web...

wow, claude-code has a SendUserFile tool. They think of everything.

As always, I disagree.
here are my thoughts on how you should be building software nowadays:

I look forward to sweat-lang and tears-lang.
I’m making a programming language called blood. Faster than rust, a powerful type system, all the power of effect systems, metaprogramming, zero-cost worktrees, semantic merging, sqlite-stored content-addressable code. Psychosis? Hopefully not. blood-lang.org

This is one of those things that could probably be a prompt, a schema, and tiny JavaScript library. We make all of this stuff too complicated.

I'm just gonna build my own skin to GitHub. I'm finding as a backend it's perfectly fine. Granted it stays up. But the entire site is just structured wrong for agent work. I think the only way to figure out how to do it better is just try to myself.

Since you can't attach screenshot to the feedback form (which is feedback), I'm just going to complain here. You can get to this state, don't know how, where the merge button is just gone. Missing, never to be found.

oh, of course, it's the spinning merge status of death causing this.

Who's the lead engineer for copilot CLI? Do you want to be my friend? I'm only obnoxious 51% of the time.

I'm so glad this post got traction. Maybe codex will add monitors now. If there's anyone one on the codex team that wants more info, ping me. I really want codex to have monitors. And opencode, Copilot, and pi (but pi probably can do it already)
Codex harness has really improved BUT STILL NO MONITORS! Monitor is an essential feature and I don't think any harness but claude does it. Why doesn't anyone get how incredible monitors are.

I attempt to do things that have insane scope, but I suck at working with people. Does anyone want to work with me on discobox? Like actual job. I have no idea how to collaborate on work like this. I've honestly never in my career really figured out how to work with people.

Remember when a unicorn was $1B. That's basically seed stage now.

One day I hope to become a mots. That's just what we call the humans that work for AI. Now that we have AI agents with persistent identities, we can just make the humans swappable.
