It is conceptually different. Skill was created over the context rot problem. You will pull the right skill from the deck after having a challenge and figuring out the best skill just by reading the title and description.

moltbook = reddit for agents rentahuman = taskrabbit for agents

by the way, is taskrabbit still a thing?

Usually, I'm not a big fan of Polyend products. They look cool, but they lack depth. Not the best tracker, not the best beatbox, etc. And also, I'm totally into Puredata and devices like Organelle, but the learning curve is steep. I get the idea of a vibe sound modeler. Not my alley, but that's interesting for a niche, I'd say.

for me, the idea of structuring and formatting texts keyboard-only was fundamental for my adoption of markdown. iA Writer as an app that pushed me in that direction. Markdown, iA Writer, and my Keychron are part of my routine.

The mystery of the Highland Crest is one of my favorite books ever! It gave me another perspective on the medium when I was younger

product UVP aside, woah! the page is sick!

They messed with Dia thing. Arc had a clear value proposition, a better browser for power users. I'd pay for that, mostly because the browser itself, but also because they had pretty straightforward approaches on their communication, how small things work, how bad features should be removed and so on...

I never understood Dia. ofc I downloaded Dia and tried using it a while, but never clicked on the agent bar. They told somewhere sometime that they were seeking a bigger user base. Dia definitely is not that place. A browser powered by AI definitely is nothing something beyond the geek/early adopter crew.

Things become worse when we think about how they handled this whole situation. Sometimes shady, sometimes with a lot of arrogance and always shunning off their loyal users.

We don't have the whole information, of course the team and maybe investors know better in details what happened, but definitely things weren't going well. The recent tweet from the design guy cheering up the side bar is almost a suffocated scream from the team imo.

From the company journey perspective that's a depressing way to have an exit. Wish them the best, but I'm deleting any traces of TBC from my computer.

I mean, almost every country could offer America a lesson about democracy nowadays.

Some countries build walls to keep people out. Some countries build walls to keep people in...

That’s great. You gained a new customer. In the prompt's and Caves of Qud 1.0 era, I'd say ASCII art is a must, both in terms of UX and aesthetic in general.

Do you know what I like more than AI in my IDE (which I adore, by the way)? It's an IDE that respects the developer.

Yep, fwiw there's often live coding interviews done in the editor of your choice that require AI to be off.

As in even if you love AI and use it a lot you should have the ability to turn it off.

The ones I’ve done (as of late last year), they were okay with AI autocomplete but not a full prompting/agentic workflow.

They wanted me to architect the solution, but were okay with it filling in basic for loops.

I would actually start interviewing with AI as well. How well they prompt and how good they are at reviewing AI slop?

Yeup, this exactly. If they're going to be allowed to use claude-code/copilot day to day, how well they review the ai-generated code is going to be huge signal, as well as they could explain what happened. Also, if they're jsut blind vibe-coding something, without creating a nice quick spec for the LLM, that would also be a signal. Also, makes for very easy follow on questions during the interview.

Aw shucks, I guess that rules out Notepad on Win11 then.

> It's an IDE that respects the developer

Mind elaborating?

I assumed they meant having the option to turn AI off was them respecting the developer.

Which is why I still code and write with Sublime Text!

i use nvim and arch btw

I hand write all my code directly in binary.

I do that too, and then execute it by hand as well, looking up every instruction on paper and changing the registers on paper as needed.

^ Has C# projects on github. Don't think that statement is true.

> ^ Has C# projects on github. Don't think that statement is true.

Why?

I fucking love Sublime!

Yeah! Fast, good looking, no AI integration, ability to turn off blinking cursor and customize, and paying for it supports a small company in Australia rather than a huge, soulless megacorp.
