at first i thought i was goring to build lots of extra plugins and commands but what ended up working for me is:

- i have a simpel command that pulls context from a linear issue

- simple review command

- project specific skills for common tasks

inside the session using nvim for edits, terminal panes for running tests / commands etc, and increasingly pi as a coding agent instead of claude code.

i sometimes toy around with orchestration projects like capy.ai or conductor but haven't really been impressed.

probably worth noting that usually all code i push will have been written by me. even if LLMs can output the same i find it's usually faster to implement it myself compared to convincing myself that the LLM output is correct.

Of course this has always been hard to quantify but the number of tickets completed every week is roughly steady. This does not seem to match self reported efficiency gains.

How has this been going for you?

However when trying cc it left me vey disappointed. For context I’m working on a relatively greenfield rust project and gave it tasks that I would consider appropriate for a junior level colleague like:

- change the return type of a trait and all it’s impls

- refactor duplicate code into a helper function

- replace some of our code with an external crate

it didn’t get any of them correct and took a very long time. Am I using the tool wrong?

How are you using cc or other agentic tools?

totally agree that you can be a great engineer and not be familiar with it, but seems weird for an expert in the field to confidently make wrong statements about this.

imo that give them some more credibility or at least makes me think that they probably are well intentioned

2) my work as a contractor

3) usdc

4) ~11k usdc

5) 2021

6) via email i guess

7) went smoothly, I sent a regular invoice and withdrew via a centralized exchange. Fees for me were lower than receiving an international bank transfer

8) yes

9) the UX is quite bad still, I don’t want to evaporate my salary by mistyping an address. paying ppl in crypto also leads to some pay transparency, I could see how much everyone was making

I am very sceptical of crowd funding however, I think these are largely terrible investments for consumers while explicitly targeting people who are not accredited investors.

what made you go that route instead of pursuing VC funding?

In general I think most of the interview prep industry is kind of a grift.

very accurate co founder impression
