knowsuchagency··on The Goose Programming Language
The docs are perfectly legible and to the point. I don't see the need to waste the author's time with aesthetics

Short answer, no. If you're betting on an outcome that can be controlled by an individual or small group, the incentive is for them to game the system by doing the OPPOSITE of what the prediction is so as to make the most money.

knowsuchagency··on Launch HN: Freestyle – Sandboxes for Coding Agents
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I'm predominantly a self-hoster, but I think your product makes a lot of sense for a wide variety of users and businesses. I'm excited to try out freestyle!
knowsuchagency··on Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters
Dang asked us to keep it civil.

We should respond with the same amount of class, forethought, and decorum as Elon.

There's a default TTL of one hour for how long it caches the spec for.

lol I didn’t know there were so many but I’m not surprised.

I was inspired by clihub (I credited them) but I also wanted 3 additional things.

1. OpenAPI support 2. Dynamic CLI generation. I don’t want to recompile my CLI if the server changes. 3. An agent skill

knowsuchagency··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
I love this! This concept on steroids is one of the main reasons I made https://github.com/knowsuchagency/vibora after trying both happy.engineering and Vibe Kanban for remote coding. There's the claude mobile app, too, but I want to run Claude on my own hardware in a terminal

knowsuchagency··on Hashcards: A plain-text spaced repetition system
It’s just like in programming interviews—sometimes you need to clarify your understanding before diving into potential solutions
knowsuchagency··on Hashcards: A plain-text spaced repetition system
Could you link to it? I'd love to read it. This is also my first time learning of recutils
knowsuchagency··on Claude Advanced Tool Use
I completely agree. I wrote an implementation of this exact idea a couple weeks ago https://github.com/Orange-County-AI/MCP-DSL
knowsuchagency··on Claude Advanced Tool Use
MCP really deserves its own language. This all feels like a hack around the hack that MCP sits on top of JSON. https://github.com/Orange-County-AI/MCP-DSL
knowsuchagency··on MCP-DSL. 75-85% Fewer Tokens. Same Great Taste
I was experimenting with having Claude write in the first person and acting as the editor and publisher. I genuinely don’t see myself as the author but I see your point. What I considered to be a fun experiment may distract from the actual point I’m trying to make — wanting to significantly decrease MCP token usage.
knowsuchagency··on Claude Sonnet 4.5
I like Simon, but he's not a journalist. A journalist would not have gone to OpenAI to glaze the GPT-5 release with Theo. I don't say this to discount Simon -- I appreciate his writing and analysis but a journalist, he isn't.

knowsuchagency··on GPT‑5-Codex and upgrades to Codex
Exactly. That's why I said he should know better. He never should have gone to that event to hype GPT-5 under the guise of "testing" it out.
knowsuchagency··on GPT‑5-Codex and upgrades to Codex
It's annoying to see a link to a Theo video -- same guy who went with Simon to OpenAI's GPT-5 glazefest and had to backpedal when everyone realized what a shill he is.

I know neither of them are journalists -- I'm probably expecting too much -- but Simon should know better.

Suggested alternative: “Public see chat. Public find chat. No privacy. All will see!”
knowsuchagency··on 6 weeks of Claude Code
That's like saying "you don't need a car, just hang around this bicycle shop long enough and you'll realize you can exercise your way around the town!"
knowsuchagency··on Why Metaflow?
Nothing touches https://windmill.dev. There are some rare instances where you still may want Airflow, but even so, windmill and airflow complement each other well. If you need notebooks, I recommend https://docs.marimo.io/
knowsuchagency··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
One feature I would love to have is the ability to switch the model used for a message using a shorthand like #sonnet. Often, I don't want or need opus but I don't want to engage in a 3 step process where I need to:

1. switch models using /model 2. message 3. switch back to opus using /model

Help me help you (manage usage) by allowing me to submit something like "let's commit and push our changes to github #sonnet". Tasks like these rarely need opus-level intelligence and it comes up all the time.

knowsuchagency··on Kiro: A new agentic IDE
Ironically, Claude Code has me working in lower-level languages with more low-level tools than ever before, simply because of how powerful it is, particularly as a terminal tool. I've always been more of a GUI person, but now the editor I use most often is Helix.

If I've atrophied in certain aspects of my thinking, I honestly think I've more than made up for it in learning how to engineer the context and requirements for Claude Code more effectively and to quickly dive in to fix things without taking my hands off the keyboard and leaving the terminal.
