I think the "middle" isn't empty, it just requires more discipline than either extreme. AI works well when the problem is clearly framed and constrained, and fails when we skip steps and expect it to fill in the gaps correctly.

Your pipelne is basically a way to force good engineering habits. Thinking through the problem, design, and spec before coding, which reduces hallucinations and keeps understanding intact. So a big part of the improvement comes not just from the AI itself, but from the fact that it pushes you to be more structured and explicit in how you think about the problem.

Great read, thanks.

I have sometimes turned to Reddit to find out things about clothing and recommendations for clothes, but I find the general consensus about "if you want x, the best place to buy is y" is pretty rubbish.

The best thing you can learn is how to treat clothes, as you mention.

Awesome idea!

I feel like he's just doing it for attention.

Looks good! Probably just a personal preference thing, but I was looking for a back button or way to swipe the “Now playing” panel down in order to see the list of radio stations again. You can use the nav at the bottom, but a back button or swipe down was my natural attempt at first.

Good job though!

Anthropoic are trying their own hand at OpenClaw style software so I guess it’s not a huge surprise. Shame though.

Would like to know how much it costs per day.

Zed is what you’re looking for - https://zed.dev/

Super lightweight and a joy to use. Unsure on the remote access part though.

Nice work - what tech did you use to build?

This is exactly why I never trust 'accidental' feature rollouts in production environments. Any CDN or hosting provider that can accidentally expose private data has serious issues with their deployment process and access controls. Railway should have caught this in staging - the fact that it made it to production suggests they don't have proper testing for permissioning logic, which is absolutley terrifying for anyone hosting sensitive apps there.

Great idea. Not seen anything like this before!

Great article. I still consider myself "engineering" while exclusively using AI tools, as I'm making the same changes to the code than I would have done without AI.

There's still the same level of accountability, and the same deep understanding of what problems are being solved and the approaches being taken.

But the whole "prompt" prefix seems to give the engineering aspect less meaning. I think that's just negative connotation though.

Some tech/engineering podcasts are quite good for that sort of thing.

Looks like ccleaks is down eek - not long before ccunpacked has same fate.

I did this recently for my product (https://www.getpronto.io/guides/connect-ai-agents-mcp). I decided to use MCP but I notice you have gone with the skills approach. What made you decide to use that over MCP?

I'm considering skills as it looks a bit less friction?

The token usage differs day to day - that's the most frustrating part. You can't effectively plan a development session if you aren't sure how far you'll likely get into a feature.

I somewhat agree with the deploy fear point, but deploy fear can just be a consequence of one bad experience 10 years ago that ruined a weekend. At least for me :D

It's one of those "I always wondered" things - nice.

It's just a matter of time. I'd be willing to pay more but not sure how much more :/

Nice writeup. I run a similar setup with a k3s cluster at home and Tailscale made the whole thing so much more manageable.

The OneDrive thing drives me crazy too. I set up a fresh Windows install last month and spent the first hour just undoing defaults and disabling prompts. It's weird how Microsoft keeps doubling down on this when the backlash is so consistant. At some point they have to realise they're pushing more technical users toward Linux.

The pricing discussion is interesting but I think people are missing the bigger picture. Being able to schedule agents to run tasks on a cron is genuinely usefull for solo devs who can't justify hiring someone to handle repetitive maintainence work. I've been using AI agents for image processing stuff and the autonomous loop is where it works.
