I'm very interested in trying this out! I run Claude Code in sandbox with `--dangerously-skip-permissions`. Is that possible with Letta?

Do we have Windows support yet?

I also recommend listening to the drum history podcast which has episodes with Zildjian and Sabian family members.

Clink + windows terminal + Git tools is the perfect setup IMO.

First 10 minutes are quite interesting. Analog vs digital, longevity of music, “open” formats.

Any recommendation for a provider with dedicated servers in the US?

I’m with a provider now who is phasing them out.

Yeah, it won't work without a stable team. And that may be okay in a true agile environment but I've always had a manager who wants some type of estimate/high level schedule.

We do T-shirt sizes mapped to numbers, because recording effort in numbers lets you get an avg etc...

Yeah, you are doing it wrong if scrum is deadlines. I've worked with people who had to pull all nighters to get all sprint content done before the sprint closes. I'm using it more as a window to do some cheap analysis on our progress.

The things I've taken from scrum and use at every team:

- plan in 2 week chunks

- estimate in points (relative size to something you've already done), emphasis on consistent estimates for each dev.

- make sure you define what 'done' means, and make sure it relates to what exactly you are trying to measure (Eg just coding effort, work till feature can ship?, etc). This is probably the most tricky bit.

- capture total velocity every 2 weeks and eventually use the avg for future planning

- review the entire process and modify things that take a lot of time for devs.

Pretty cool! How do you persist storage?

And did you know that you can deploy a monolith to Lambda and still get all the benefits of Lambda without building services

I did not know. Does anyone have pointers or examples on this?

Bingo.

Yup, that’s the example I cited above.

Even more “insanity”:

z/OS (aka OS360 aka MVS) supports programs going back to the 60s and I just talked with a DE at IBM who is still using a program compiled circa Apollo 11 mission.

Crime and punishment was riveting. “Brothers” was a slog. Maybe I didn’t make it far enough through. This comes from someone who lived in Russia and enjoys Russian culture.

We had so little capacity that we had decided to reimage all our existing servers and then reprovision them in the new software stack.

That's terrifying!

I’ve used backblaze for a decade on Mac and windows. I’ve done selective restores and also used their mail you a hard drive option.

Yes but read about restore time first - https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap/issues/333

I used to have crazy IDE-like setups but have realized that Vim is great for straight text manipulation (writing bash scripts, log parsing, etc) and VS code or eclipse is great for heavy duty programming. Now my vimrc is less than 50 lines and no plugins.

I was lucky enough to really learn *nix via Solaris where Vi was the only option.

Why are people downvoting jmeister who is just quoting Musk. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Anyone else seeing this behavior in Safari mobile?

  Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found.

but addiction is not a certain outcome

Not certain but chances are very high with the new class of opioids.

I had to drop the leading “This” from the title as it was too long.

Mainframes aren’t legacy, they’re just different and not well talked about that much in public. They have a full Unix subsystem with modern ports and lots of integration via VS code extensions.

Has anyone tried to make a browser using the MS Word engine? It would be horrible but also kinda neat.

+1 for the Sleep reference.

  "EFAIL" is an alarmist puff piece written by morons to slander PGP and inflate their egos. The standards don't need to change to fix the problems it mentions. The proposals help... marginally. The problem is not and was never with OpenPGP, it's with poorly written email clients (e.g. all email clients).

That’s in the press release but it’s more than just infra.
