made it the default editor when i click on things in the finder and spent a minute porting some of my nvim mappings. I really like it so far, but don't really see myself use more than that. main use case has been editing @obsidian.md's base files "by hand"

thinking of trying zed as a gui editor for a minute, i hope the vim bindings are good enough to not get me out of the flow

yolo upgraded my nvim deps which, of course, broke stuff. decided to write down what I did to unbreak : aliou.me/posts/2025-1...

weekly coding agent status: downgraded claude code to the "small" max plan and using those $100 for amp.

using cc for planning/brainstorming new features and amp for debugging/researching.

it's been working so far, let's see in a couple of weeks when another "breakthrough" occurs 😬

using nix and coding agents is just seeing this over and over again

writing my own cli coding agent for fun, I now understand so many ux/dx decisions taken by amp, claude and others.

anyway, rotating some keys because I made my own `read_file` tool and now one of my `.env` files is probably on a server somewhere 😶

I'm always getting closer to trust agents with doing more and more dangerous things for me but they keep me on my toes

I’ve had to replace my routine of scrolling twitter while brushing my teeth because of tweets like these. I’ve been creating and playing with agents for the past hour

I have to be using it wrong but there's no "agent" as frustrating as Copilot, especially on GitHub.

@jackf.io Hey! Left you a comment on this issue (1), but in case they're muted, I'm curious if you found a tool like Supermaven's completion on neovim? Thanks!

Claude code's plan mode is so impressive :o

LLM tools are moving so fast that the ~20% savings you get by going yearly aren’t worth the sunk cost fallacy of sticking with a subpar tool.

The great thing about nix is that you get to learn about what is needed to build software.

Anyway, day four of trying to get the latest mlx (1) to build using the hosts’s metal library / bin because the nix package is outdated (2)

@bcherny.bsky.social Hello! Do you have vim/nvim users at Anthropic that extensively use Claude Code? I'm curious of their workflow: using nvim's terminal? in another terminal tab? in tmux/screen etc? Thanks!

I pretty much always take my laptop with me on holiday "just in case" because I know I'll want to hack on stuff. But with claude in github issues, I've barely had to use it :o (except for scaffolding)

Just finished setting up Dia and it feels like the onboarding of AI "productivity" tools is always the same: who are you, How do you learn, How friendly should I be
I wonder if having a "personal" MCP could be a solution: you just (1) have to connect the tool to it
