Gave Claude Code a meaty task to chew through. Ran 30 minutes without intervention or stopping, got to only 3% of context left. Asking to pull changes from main, branch, commit, push, and pr got it to 0% 😅 Wow

Watching Claude Code work as a GitHub action is just so satisfying. Currently using it to: - Review PRs - Implement changes it suggests - Research project, writing results to the report - Fire up new PRs to address issues Seriously this thing is 🔥🚀🤯

Here's a little tip for working with coding agents on research tasks within a repo: Instead of asking the agent to research something, ask it for a sytem prompt with all the context another LLM would need to do complete the research. Paste the prompt into o3, then paste results back. No more endless tool calls or waiting around, just keep coding along, and when o3 is done, the results have been better anyway.

Watching my AI agents go crazy just to locate a single line of code felt like hunting for a **needle in a stack of needles**. 🔍 🔍 🔍🤬 So I whipped up a little experiment called grep-anchors or "grepa". Just drop ":ga:<text>" anchors in comments and your tools (or agents) *teleport* to the right spot. Like the TODO's and FIXME's before, but with some conventions for predictability (and composability). 🚢 Early days, but I’m already seeing way fewer fruitless tool calls!

Claude Code + Termius + Tailscale = mobile coding is actually possible (and fun)

Anyone have some particularly gnarly Rules files for Cursor/Windsurf/Claude that they'd be willing to share? Thinking ones packed with directives, XML, the works. I'm trying to stress text my new rules compiler and need to find some rules that work, but are complex. Thx!

I asked o3 to "roast me" and was properly charred to a crisp. My. God. 🔥Fire up ChatGPT, select o3, and type "roast me." But brace yourself…

Poll: For those that you who use AI agent software dev tools, how many different ones do you use in a week's time? Tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Cline, Roo Code, GitHub Copilot, VS Code Agent, Aider, etc. Reply with which one(s) you use!

Anyone else use n8n for automations? I couldn't seem to find a node that connected with Warpcast/Farcaster for posting, feed/profile fetching, etc. Going to try and put one together, using the @neynar APIs. Hoping to set it loose next week. 🤞🏼

Cursor is a wrapper for ChatGPT. Also: 🌯 Burritos are wrappers for beans, cheese, and meat 💿 Playlists are wrappers for songs 📰 Publications are wrappers for writings The parts can be enjoyed on their own. But wrappers can also be enjoyed as more than just a sum of parts.

Pairing with AI agents to code feels like immersion language learning to me. I know the output I'm going for when prompting so when the result arrives I can look through it, and try to understand the patterns & techniques that were used. It's gotten me so much further than any code tutorial ever has.

Building w/ AI agents has been transformative for me. Feeling like I can finally unlock ideas & explore things without being held back by my coding… But actually learning things has been my favorite part. So while you vibe away, don't miss out on the teaching moments. 🧠🧐📚

VS Code walked so that [???] could run. What's the next evolution of an IDE going to look like that's not a fork? https://warpcast.com/mg/0xa0f5f058

I wonder who the first team will be to break free from the VS Code dependency, and deliver a fresh take on what an Agent-forward IDE could be… 🤔 VS Code is great, but is kind of bloated, and wasn't really designed for the workflows that could make agent-driven development shine.

Love to see this. Here's the Brainstormer prompt mentioned, for those curious: https://github.com/galligan/maybe-good-prompts/blob/main/prompts/mode-brainstormer.md

Thought it might be fun to start open-sourcing and posting the AI prompts that I'm making and using daily. Just put up my first one, which I've had a lot of fun and success with—essentially an ideation partner. Check it out and let me know what you think: https://warpcast.com/mg/0x3f73930b

Though it might be fun start open-sourcing AI prompts, instructions, custom modes, etc. that I make and use regularly. Some of these have been a game-changer for me, so hoping that they might be helpful to others! Try them out and let me know what you think… 👇🏻 Here we go 👇🏻
