Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5.2 prompting guide has an interesting little trick. Tell the agent it owns the codebase and it's much more likely to consolidate duplicated code.
In their testing it went from under 10% to about 50%.
Unfortunately it also started making changes nobody asked for. Not sure I'd be trying that one on a client's website:)

Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2 already on the disc, "for distribution with a new PC only."
The holographic Bliss hillside still looks like 2002 even when the rest of the label has gone rainbow.
I loooved XP:)

In PHP 7, 0 == "abc" was true. Compare a number with a string that isn't numeric and PHP turned the string into a number first, so "abc" became 0.
PHP 8 compares them as strings instead, so it's false.
Old code that leaned on that quirk didn't throw an error after the upgrade. It just started giving different answers. === would have saved everyone the bother.

Yep. There’s a few of those, but any real developer wouldn’t compare a number and a string without knowing the outcome.
isEmpty vs isNumeric are also worthy of understanding.

Long uptime used to be bragging rights, screenshots and all. On a Linux server, it can also mean a stack of kernel fixes were installed but never loaded because nobody rebooted.
`uname -r` tells you what you're actually running.

Rescue media used to be a physical thing you hoped you wouldn't need, and hoped you'd kept.

Good Morning Tech Twitter! 🌤️
The big 6K is getting very close.
So it's time to go REALLY niche.😬
I want to connect if, like me...
You're a Windows PC user.
Because the only time a Mac saved
Earth was in Independence Day...
And that was fkn fiction.
You think Claude sounds like a French waiter...
But CODEX sounds like the bloke who
comes round to break his legs.
And you think the 'Apple ecosystem' is just
Stockholm Syndrome with Bluetooth.
If that's you, CONNECT WITH ME!🤝
There must be at least six of us...
Seven if Jerry Seinfeld hasn't gone soft. 👊
You're in right! Right??? 😂
True or false for you
The work you used to do by hand is something you still have to think about and do today

Paulina made me do it and I promise this is AI slop.
Thank you for 2076 followers everyone and goodnight!
PS - I had to get a stunt double in for these scenes because of my busy schedule.
It feels very all over the place for me. Sometimes it's barely nothing, then a lot, then medium for a few days...then nothing. It's kindda weird.

Scott Hanselman has wrapped Windows Sandbox so an agent gets a brand-new Windows 11 machine, installs your app, clicks through it, keeps the screenshots and crash logs, and then the whole machine is thrown away.
Plenty of agent setups still run on the same laptop that has your SSH keys and browser logins on it. Where does yours get to install things?

Docker is also a lighter weight alternative or Rancher Desktop if you want oss.. i bet this Windows Sandbox thing is way to do the same without having to get windows os images

Yeah, Docker's great for plenty of things, but it's not quite the same job. The interesting bit here is giving an agent a proper clean Windows desktop to install software, interact with the GUI and test native apps. Windows Sandbox doesn't need a separate OS image either, which is pretty handy.

I haven't seen you in the software category in a while. I don't know if it's because I follow you though.
