AI has also been a really good brainstorming partner - especially if you prompt it to disable sycophancy. It will tell you straight up when you are over-engineering something.

It's also wonderful at debugging.

So I just talk to my computer, brainstorm architectures and approaches, create a spec, then let it implement it. If it was a bad idea, we iterate. The iteration loop is so fast that it doesn't matter.

Did you end up regretting a design choice, but normally you'd live with it because so much code would have to be changed? Not with Agentic coding tools - they are great at implementing changes throughout the entire codebase.

And its so easy to branch out to technologies you're not an expert in, and still be really effective as you gain that expertise.

I honestly couldn't be happier than I am right now. And the tools get better every week, sometimes a couple times a week.

You can do the same thing for LLMs by keeping a file with those details available and included in their context.

You can even set up evaluation loops so that entries can be made by other agents.

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but what in the hell man.

In addition to saying that its cheating, they will actively wish harm to the person by saying "just wait til you get X" where X is some side effect (real or imagined). Or just the "well once you stop taking it you'll just get fat again".

Now I can easily get up, even at hours that were previously unthinkable, and more often than not feel fully recharged.

I have no doubt that played a part in me being unhealthy - though by no means was it the sole reason.

As an aside, also getting on a dose of Semaglutide has been similarly life changing. The damn near elimination of "food noise" has been incredible.

I know there are a number of folks of the opinion that its somehow cheating. But for me I am left wondering "Is this just how normal people feel?".

-Elon, probably

BUT I am really rooting for SpaceX and Starlink. Honestly I hope the shiny toy that is X/Twitter keeps his attention for a while and he leaves those orgs to run as they have been.

Its pretty easy to learn the rules. Once you've done that you can watch a game and know roughly what is happening. But its still a hard game to master.

One thing I found interesting, is it you go with PEWMA and create a scenario where the cluster is stressed, and then add 1 server, it pummels the shit out of the new server and you have a brief surge in failed requests.

Not sure if that is a real world issue, or just with the simulation...

User's 1 through 50 (light users) log in and their profile says they go to app-1.myapp.com. User's 51 through 60 (heavy users) log in and their profile says they go to app-2.myapp.com.

A specific user may pay extra to have a non-shared environment, and this supports that as well.

It is like they haven't taken the time to even make a rudimentary calculation on the costs involved in keeping the employee versus replacing them.

Take some rust code, compile it into wasm, and call it from dotnet.

Compile your app into wasm and run it anywhere on any architecture.

At least that is the end goal as I understand it. The idea of it also being really fast and safe is an extra bonus.

One thing I did not see in your demo, is inventory synchronization. I'm guessing thats because your first use-case is drop shipping.

I'd also disagree that you're open-source Amazon. You're more like open-source DropStream or maybe Boomi.

If I were you, I'd do this:

1) Pick an open-source WMS and write a channel for it. 2) Make it dead easy to write ad-hoc channels. 3) Quickly implement shop connectors for BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce.

Good luck!
