I thought running parallel agents in separate worktrees would let me get more done while waiting. In practice I’m finding it’s more helpful for giving the work time to breathe. I can try something, then step away, tackle something else, give my subconscious time to sit on it.

Kids talking trash about your music suddenly get real quiet the moment you play them Cross by Justice or Discovery by Daft Punk.

I made a neat little Node loader for handling JSX syntax in TS/JS files - built as a part of the Remix ecosystem, but it can be used completely standalone!
Replying to @BrooksLybrand
The Remix template now only comes with 1 package: remix `remix/node-tsx` is such a lovely little package that @markdalgleish just showed up with one day

I know I’m biased, but this is honestly one of the coolest websites I’ve ever seen.
🤯 @remix_run v3 beta is out, but the thing I'm most excited about is the website. Look at this thing!! 👀‼️

Devs: With AI, the real value you provide now is taste. Also devs: Hey LLM, is my idea good?

It’s April 2nd in Australia, so I’m assuming all of these odd project announcements are 100% real.

“Skipping tests to get a green run was the wrong approach.” Sometimes you've gotta be patient with the little guy.

I used to be against a lot of heavy unit testing of internals. I felt they often cost more in dev time than they were worth compared to e2e. Now that AI makes these tests effectively free, and agents use them for localised feedback, this equation has shifted back a lot for me.

Coding with agents is so addictive, it’s surprisingly easy to lose track of time. I feel like there’s an extra layer of productivity gains in the fact that I can get into a flow state almost instantly, and stay there much longer.

The biggest takeaway from the whole “Ralph loop” thing for me so far is realising that I’ve been using Markdown “plans” with the agent too much when this isn’t my natural workflow. I’ve tried switching to a Kanban board inspired flow using Markdown files and it’s so much better.

Right now I still have a plan file, but it kinda morphs into more of a living architecture doc while iterating. The actual work I’ve got structured like this: /tasks/*/todo.md /tasks/*/in-progress.md /tasks/*/done/001-task-summary.md /tasks/*/done/002-task-summary.md

Absolutely mind boggling to stop and realise: 1) I barely code anymore, just chat with an AI. 2) It’s not slop. I’m still engineering. I don’t feel threatened. Feels like pair programming. 3) I’m enjoying it more than coding by hand. Truly wild time to be living through.
