Now that's a tremendous pointer, I'm going to have to try that.

Do you full on let GLM5 get stuff done on its own or is it more like a guided workflow? The former's what the point releases doubled down on and is also something that uses a lot of juice.

Yeah isn't that thinking weird?

Now I see the issue clearly! But wait... now I have the full picture! But wait... Found it!

I gave up a few times because of it at first until I realized I just had to let GLM get on with it and what came out was great!

But once it was outright endearing- challenging bug, it said: I have been very thorough. Then it escalated where to look and aced it. Built in confucian values

GLM 5.2 coding plan- I'll post the agent as soon as I can! But opencode works and their own zcode is really good as well.

My Talk about making my own coding agent in Nim, geared at use with GLM!

Alpha stage- rough around the edges but it's cross platform, it's tiny and it works!

3code, the economical coding agent

A command-line program for AI-assisted programming to get results as cheaply and reliably as possible. Especially interesting to use z.ai models, which will likely still work if US AI company prices rise too much.

It's also a pleasure to work with. Still needs polish and bugfixes, late alpha.

Definitely.

Interesting twist- notice dark shapes in your color spectrum for a while, then switch to light. Trippy.

Can't you put some kind of alt os on it if you want old hardware? Seems the usual way to do it.

Download selling tool where you act as your own seller but get tax help and AI support. Much cheaper than the usual suspects and no sales tax for the most part.

I was thinking- why on earth raise 17M for that, it sounds like something you make in a basement with a few friends, if that.

But then it's the github cofounder- well, github did add a lot of stuff onto git I didn't know I needed, so I'm curious.

That's a fascinating way to look at it.

I've always found my self at the clean code end of the spectrum (which also means simple and flexible to me) because it makes it easier to be flexible for customer needs. So I like good code but it's a means to an end.

Hahaha yes- reddit relationship advice is always like "You need to leave them immediately, what are you thinking, have some self respect you need to end it" when the other person forgot the redditor's favorite brand of corn flakes or something.

That's exactly why I think vibecoding uniquely benefits solo and small team founders. For anything bigger, work is not the bottleneck, it's someone's lack of imagination.
