Yeah, there's lots of places you can't speak out loud bc it's disruptive to others though. Personally I set a lot of Siri reminders, but it's weird and uncomfortable to talk loudly at your phone in public spaces so I can only use it at home or outdoors. If the ring can follow through on the promise of being able to whisper to it, that's fairly valuable imo
Definitely, but Siri is terrible at understanding quiet speech and you have to hold your phone/watch right up to your mouth. A ring is definitely a much nicer form factor for that.
Using an agentic workflow does not require you to delegate tge thinking. Agents are great at taking exactly what you want to do and executing. So spend an extra few minutes and lay out the architecture YOU want then let the ai do the work.
I've had success here by simply telling Codex which components to use. I initially imported all the shadcn components into my project and then I just say things like "Create a card component that includes a scrollview component and in the scrollview add a table with a dropdown component in the third column"...and Codex just knows how to add the shadcn components. This is without internet access turned on by the way.
Right. The idea here is to kick of 3-8 or something tasks. They finish as you finish writing the next prompt. Then you go and review/test/merge the code from the first task, then another task finishes and you review/test/merge that code.
The challenge is that you have to be working on multiple work streams at once because so far Codex isn't great at not doing work you are doing in another task even if you tell it something like "class X will have a function that returns y"...it will go write that function most times.
I've found it really good for integration work between frontend and backend features where you can iterate on both simultaneously if the code isn't in the same codebase.
Also, for Codex this works best in the web ui because it actually uses branches, opens prs, etc. I think (though could be wrong) that locally with the CLI or IDE extension you might have to manually great git worktrees, etc.
Yeah I try to keep it away from overlapping it's work as much as possible. Using plan mode in claude or just telling codex to build a plan, that is structured in a parallelized way for multiple agents usually helps delegate tasks to be handled at the same time. Typically: app code, infra, and data layer are the main three, but obviously depends on the project.
If I ever find my self just waiting, then it always gives me an opportunity to respond to messages, emails, or update tickets. Won't be long now until the agents are doing that as well...
Because you'll be replaced by those engineers in N months/years when they can outperform you because they are wizards with the new tools.
It's like failing to adopt compiled code and sticking to punch cards. Or like refusing to use open source libraries and writing everything yourself. Or deciding that using the internet isn't useful.
Yes, developing as a craft is probably more fulfilling. But if you want it to be a career you have to adapt. Do the crafting on your own time. Employers won't pay you for it.
I've had a chevy volt since 2014 and it's amazing at this. 30+ mile range gets me all the local travel that I need daily plus the gas range makes roadtrips completely stress free since I can just go get gas.
I agree and I'm consistently flabbergasted at how many "entrepreneurs" see this as controversial or even wasteful. It's like the same take that "insurance is a scam". (I would not be surprised of these opinions were strongly correlated)
What kind of insurance because both health and auto insurance absolutely are. I don't think it's a coincidence that these two forms are also mandatory by law.
Insurance where there's a well defined insurable event that has a known in advance payout are great, life insurance for example. "Insurance" where the insurance company gets to decide if and how much to pay out is flat out bullshit. Everyone with auto insurance has experienced the— we decided the value of the car we declared totaled is $x where the cost of buying your exact car same year same mileage is at least $2x, usually $3x.
My favorite health insurance story is the one time I had to have an operation out of network because there were no in-network doctors that could do it. I got all the right paperwork, insurance said they would cover it, got it done and the cost was well beyond my out of pocket max. I called up insurance asking where my check was for the difference between my oopm and what I paid. Well guess what, the insurance company "decided" that the operation actually cost exactly my deductible so they owed me $0. The breakdown was hilariously bad, they claimed an anesthesiologist costs $17.
I guess my disconnect isn't that I think startups shouldn't be accustomed to working with a lawyer, but that I expected they shouldn't need one for something like this. Maybe there are enough areas where a lawyer is needed that having one on retainer already should be something startups do, so asking them to help with this wouldn't be onerous.
At HomeLight we migrated from Heroku to Porter and it has been great. The team has been super helpful, the platform as stable as you can get, and the cost savings have been tremendous.
I’d highly recommend Porter as the place to go to get started these days. I don’t see any reason that we will migrate away in the next few years, if ever.
