Big Omarchy QA News: The Headline: * Omarchy QA will start running against nightly every day. Still some huge hurdles to figure out, but that is the fun stuff. The Meat: Omarchy QA is going slower than I hoped for, but its getting into place. This is my second fully running agent test harness where they decide what is good. * A nice running dashboard with cancellable states * Jobs, suites, servers: have all the possible states and transitions you would expect from build servers. This part was the most surprising as it is really in depth how much effort you have to spend thinking about every possibility * suite states, live updating website that ... runs fast? Yes I did something crazy... I made a cache, i know, actual crime... ** I even have an idea to make this load instant for every single user, and make updating cache contents LIGHTNING fast... *** Fun side note. WTF ARE YOU DOING EVERYONE, WEBSITES ARE FUN TO MAKE FAST AND YOU ALL ARE MAKING HORESHIT SITES... STOP. * ability to follow live running jobs and cancel them The sad part is I have had no time to get the actual custom harness running fast, which is ok, but its hard. Now, starting today, I am going to be hooking up nightly builds and actually running this against production! Will think about how to make this a public site, but for now, its private :(

my worry about all these Codex resets is that when the resets are done, people are going to hate OpenAI and constantly yap about how horrible they are Giving free stuff away always seems to bring the worst people to your platform

Don't forget it was OpenAI who hacked hugging face who happen to have some spare GPUs and GLM 5.x laying around that ultimately helped them root the cause and save their bacon. These frontier labs feel more dangerous than the open ones. Ban private models!!!

I look at it differently I think most people I knew got into the industry because they really liked coding. Now that AI is in the process of affecting every part of that industry its not the ego that is being shattered but process of the craft we got paid to do and loved is being shattered. But of course I think there is many things to be excited about and I do think that even though the old way is going to fade out over the years for the majority of programmers, there is still so much amazing things you can do. Not a doomer

It does seem like pushing back against management as software devs in the age of AI is a lost art. I have never had a job or a project that wasn't in the shape of "what corners can we cut so we can ship this last week? Is that a prototype, welcome to production..." It was my job to push back and set pace and I don't see how that is not the case still today

I hate this. I hate that people, even when slopping, don't even think about how it works. This has to end poorly and I don't see how an increase in "intelligence" is going to save you from the results of blind feature lust
