<p>It's a net value loss.

This is value that's been displaced from something productive to something unproductive.<p>Instead of going from 0 to 1 (invest the money and create value), you went from -1 to 0 (spend money to fix the window to get back to where you were) and, overall, the value of a perfectly good window got lost.</p>

<p>My workflow is quite similar, but it's leveraging Notion instead of markdown files.<p><a href="https://github.com/tessellate-digital/notion-agent-hive" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tessellate-digital/notion-agent-hive</a><p>The main reason is we're already using Notion at work, and I wanted something where I could easily add/link to existing documents.<p>Sample size of one, but I've noticed a considerable improvement after adding a "final review" step, going through the plan and looking at the whole code change, over a naive per-task "implement-review" cycle.</p>

<p>The most cost-effective way I found to use their models is to use them through a Github copilot licence. Github charges by request, not per token. Asking Opus with high effort to plan a feature in depth "costs" the same as asking it the number of "r" in strawberry.<p>I've got a setup where GPT5-mini (Free on GH) talks to you to refine and draw the outline of your feature, calls a single Opus subagent to plan it in depth, then calls a single sonnet subagent to implement it.<p>Github will only charge you for one opus request (With a 3x multiplier) and one sonnet request, whether they consume 50 or 500.000 tokens. I'm running this setup for 9 hours a day at work and I've barely consumed 40% of my monthly allowance.</p>

<p><a href="https://tessellate-digital.github.io/notion-agent-hive/" rel="nofollow">https://tessellate-digital.github.io/notion-agent-hive/</a><p>I'm not a fan of the TUI form factor for longer running, more ambitious features. Even with a classic "Add an endpoint, tweak the infra, consume in the frontend", plans get awkward to refine in markdown files, especially if everything lives in its own repo.<p>I wanted something like Plannotator, that could also work for the execution, not just the planning, So I've been working on something that turns Notion into the memory and orchestration layer for agents.<p>Underneath, it's a plan-implement-review loop, but you get a nice Notion page with a kanban board out of it. You can easily link your existing documentation, collaborate by sharing the page, annotate and comment to steer the planner, and you get versioning out of the box.<p>Because Notion acts as the memory, you can just open the page after a long weekend and get your agent and yourself back into the full context. You can see what's been done, what's left, or what requires human input just by looking at the board. You can ask it to fetch the comments on the pull request you raised, and it'll fetch, validate the comments, give you a report, and update the plan/board if necessary.<p>I've been using it exclusively for the last two weeks, I'm quite happy with it. It's been really fun to build the exact tool I wanted.</p>

<p>This is IAstrology.<p>> Positive interests might include social gatherings, attending sports events, and enjoying movies. Negative interests could involve binge drinking, gambling, or excessive use of social media. Politically, they might lean towards the social democrats, influenced by common sentiments within their socio-economic bracket. They are prone to confirmation bias, in-group bias, implicit bias against minorities, and microaggressions.<p>Chat, write the most generic description possible of a couple in their 30s.</p>

<p>You can use your GH subscription with a different harness. I'm using opencode with it, it turns GH into a pure token provider. The orchestration (compacting, etc.) is left to the harness.<p>It turns it into a very good value for money, as far as I'm concerned.</p>

<p>Easily my least favourite piece of infrastructure. The one on the video is alright because you have a full car's length between the road and the cycle path, so you are at a full perpendicular with good visibility over the bikes.<p>In plenty of other places, the space is much smaller, which puts the bike traffic almost directly in your blind spot as you cross.<p>For example, here: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@52.3911559,4.6253401,3a,75y,110.46h,69.52t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1suX9VtcbHHB5t9glHsNcjew!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D20.484955728319036%26panoid%3DuX9VtcbHHB5t9glHsNcjew%26yaw%3D110.45783349412292!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/maps/@52.3911559,4.6253401,3a,75y,110...</a><p>It's really hard to anticipate as you may not have full unobstructed visibility as you drive around, especially since cyclists can come quite fast.<p><a href="https://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2014/05/the-best-roundabout-design-for-cyclists.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2014/05/the-best-round...</a></p>

<p>As someone that moved a bit through the EU, that's actually a pretty complex calculation, that's hard to distill into a single number.<p>My second biggest recurring expense is childcare. Having a child is something you are in control of, so the weight you might give to childcare benefits is something that wildly depends on your life plans.<p>Same with unemployment benefits. Would you rather a strong safety net and 8% unemployment (Like France), or a weaker net and 4% unemployment, like the Netherlands?</p>

<p>Pretty much every country has a concept of benefit in kind. Some countries will allow some expenses to be covered (Part of your phone/internet subscription if you work from home, meals vouchers.
