If I don’t know what I don’t know, how am I going to build something any better than a coding agent? An approach on a couple of projects has been to prototype with the agent, learn, write a design and then start over. I then know the areas to look into more detail.

That's really the catch, and I think we're just figuring out how to approach this. I think your iteration approach is correct. I do a lot of asking AI to tell me about blind spots, to double check it's work in specific ways. I've asked it to let me know what it might have hallucinated, where it cut corners, and a bunch of other things along these lines. It will be interesting to see how things evolve in this area, and if AI gets good to the point that we have to do this less.

I use the cursor cli, not the IDE. Why? Someone else is paying for it.

And 32-bit to 64-bit.

This is my go to solution for code sync across macOS laptop, Windows VMs, and Linux VMs to build and run/debug across environments. Unless something has changed, exclusions of build artifacts was always an issue with cloud sync providers. I have been doing more cross compilation on macOS, copy and run on those other machines lately for prototypes, but for IDE based debugging it’s great to edit local or remote and get it all synced to the machine to run it in seconds.

My wife's work laptop gives this stupid warning anytime any USBC charger is plugged in, other than the Dell brick. So even a dock delivering 100w would get a complaint. The Dell brick offers non-standard charging at 140w, which can't get replaced by standards compliant, smaller chargers.

I am not sure how, but at one point even private browser mode would still have me logged in to Entra ID. Couldn’t log out of main browser and same session would follow me to private.

Claude can do mermaid diagrams and I started with those, but I have been asking it to generate draw.io diagrams as of late. I haven't actually tried the AI integration recommendations for draw.io, yet. I will have to pull the skill and references to see if it makes the process faster.

My M4 MacBook Pro for work just came a few weeks ago with 128 GB of RAM. Some simple voice customization started using 90GB. The unified memory value is there.

It is 15mph at this school with kids present. So percentage wise kind of high, but in absolute terms not much.

Just completed my first, small go program. It is just a cli tool to use with code quality tool for coding agent skill. The toolchain built into go left a good first impression. Recursion and refinement of guard rails on coding agents has been high on my priorities to deliver better quality code faster.
