At least it has a purpose in that agentic future.
Good afternoon from Vienna People of Pi ☀️
Some slightly different Sunday meditations today in which @mitsuhiko talks about some shared frustrations with agentic software engineering.
Remember that you're not alone in finding it harder than it looks!

This definitely has chances of regressions because of the mid-conversation system messages. We baked it for a while, but not many run it from main. If you discover problems, please, please let us know!
(There is also /bug now)

Mandatory reading.
new post: the senior engineer death spiral
a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

What when it comes to AI in software engineering are you struggling with the most?
We gave web components an honest chance. Left terribly disappointed.
team decided to go all in on react. i never touched frontend stuff except for lit (don't @ me).
perfect timing. thanks @odysseus0z !
I paid 25 USD for a cheap Chinese USB device to burn 4500 USD trying to vibecode myself some firmware on it. I have a firmware and it’s about as good as you would expect.
We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code.
Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md.
You can toggle this behavior in /config.

I'm so suck of LLM generated replies on Twitter. I stopped replying almost entirely to my replies on my own Tweets because I expect all of them to just be LLM slop. Why are y'all doing this?
I wonder if at this point there couldn't be a very of MCP that is literally codemode + openapi + RAG for openapi docs instead. The reference Radius skill is just OpenAPI and it works so well.
I would not dismiss the idea of using Jev for compaction at all. First of all because most harnesses need some pruning on compaction anyways for cost reasons which Jev might help with. I can see this being quite interesting.

Sometimes I really wish there was a global clock I could manipulate so that I can test expiration behavior on distributed systems I do not control.
I'm getting Clanker psychosis trying to figure out how to create a sensible API around Jev like models.
My co-founder Colin is not an engineer but he had Pi build a screen recording software to record himself showing off his exquisite slop skills! Unironically I find it kinda cool that you can do that.

Why the fuck does ubuntu disable TypeScript typestripping in the node they distribute? I'm low key mad right now.
I love it when tool calls take so long on Fable that afterwards you pay for it in cache misses.
@trq212 MCP today is a massive improvement over where it started, at least on the protocol level.
How down is AWS in the middle east? 2027 down. I guess at least they sent an update.
This will be an interesting winter.
BREAKING: Saudi Aramco has cancelled all of its September European crude oil allocations and is scrapping every cargo slated for late-September loading onward, with a European lifter saying no Saudi oil cargoes at all until November, per initial reports citing oil trading firm Onyx and market sources.
That takes the world's largest exporter out of the European market for the rest of September and all of October, a de facto force majeure on Saudi crude to Europe from the 3rd largest energy producer in the world.

Pick Pulley to encourage competition to Carta. End up with Carta anyways.
