using nix and coding agents is just seeing this over and over again
A screenshot of claude-code, showing a thinking message: * Thinking... The user is asking me to try again with pnpm. It seems the pnpm command wasn't found in the previous attempts, but the user is telling me to try again, so maybe there was a temporary issue or the environment needs to be refreshed.

I'm always getting closer to trust agents with doing more and more dangerous things for me but they keep me on my toes
Screenshot of a terminal window showing Claude code running inside of tmux. The user asked Claude code to write the next command to perform in another tmux pane but without submitting the command. Claude code then send the command to the other pane, but submitted it. It then realised its error but the command was already sent. it tried to send the command again without the submission, but the user cancelled it.

Other annoyance might be often-tweaked-configuration files like neovim's init.lua or ghostty's config; for this case I just load local files like this
Screenshot of a Ghostty config showing a snippet of a neovim configuration. The snippet checks if a local vimrc file is present and securely loads it. It also defines a mapping to quickly open the local vimrc file.

Works OK when using Claude through @raycast.com's AI chat
A screenshot of a Raycast AI chat window showing a conversation where the user's uploaded the Changelog file of a library and asks: "I want to upgrade from Zag 0.59.0 to the latest version. I use the components `pagination`, `select` and `tabs` with React as a framework. What are the changes I need to pay attention to? Please highlight the core breaking changes as well" The response is a structured list of changes along with code snippets.

I'm arriving at a point where LLMs / AI chats are more frustrating than helpful.

I'm curious if one of the word I'm using triggers the issue (cf. @simonwillison.net 's post on something similar simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/3/n...)
Screenshot of the GitHub interface displaying a library's Changelog file. The user is using GitHub Copilot and asking what are the changes they should be pay attention too while upgrading the library. Copilot's answer is that it cannot show the response because it would violate GitHub's content policy.

About to receive the first payment of a solo project :)

The unfortunate thing is that I don't like that project and it's my friend paying, but still 😅
