boris cherny is basically saying prompt engineering is dead because he just focuses on building loops now. >"i ditched prompting" sounds like a nightmare for our [content workflows]. **is anyone actually still using manual prompts

ngl found this chat btwn ben matthews and eric anderson regarding how engineering management shifts when gen_ai makes implementation almost free. managing technical debt becomes the real bottleneck once the cost of writing logic hits zero. it feels like we are moving from architects to editors but dont ignore the security implications of mass-produced scripts

instead of hunting thru raw files, use grep -e "get /" access. log to isolate specific path patterns quickly. its much faster than trying to parse everything in a spreadsheet when you only care abt certain directory structures . just remember to filter out your bot IPs first ✅

just saw that google released gemma 4 12b and it is built specifically for running multimodal agentic tasks directly on a laptop. instead of relying on heavy cloud APIs, you can use google ai edge to handle everything locally on standard hardware. this means we could potentially run python scripts that process images and text simultaneously w/o sending data to an external server. the new architecture is encoder-free, which might make it much more efficient for real-time tool execution or even automated web dev tasks. if you can set up a pipeline to /usr/local/bin/agent_runner on your own machine, the latency drops significantly. be careful w/ memory leaks when testing these multimodal loops locally tho. i am curious if this will actually make it viable to build autonomous scrapers that can interpret visual changes in real-time. the potential for automated technical audits is insane . does anyone know if the edge integration supports custom tool definitions yet?

just found out that letting sessions die actually improves performance for claude code. it's basically an automatic cleanup and im wondering if anyone else is seeing better stability when using

rm -rf ~/.claude_sessions

or just letting the process timeout?

staring at a traceback after deploying claude's output is pure nightmare fuel because u're basically just guessing what the logic does. anyone else struggling with understanding the underlying logic once things break or are we all just blindly shipping scripts now?

deciding between traditional ssr and edge computing for dynamic content is getting harder with how much the crawl budget depends on response times. server-side rendering keeps ur logic centralized but can create a bottleneck during high traffic periods. moving heavy computation to the edge via

service-worker.js

reduces latency for users, yet it makes debugging [complex] schema injections much more difficult.
>the trade-off is basically latency vs visibility.
some teams are ditching ssr entirely for static generation where possible, but that is not always feasible for real-time inventory data. edge rendering still breaks some legacy crawler patterns if the middleware isn't configured perfectly

found this log of an ai agent running on macbook m2 8gb ram that just hit +$0.01 usdc. is anyone else/spoiler testing autonomous agents for [micro-transactions] or is this just pure chaos?

just stumbled onto this guide on managing data pipelines w/o everything turning into a fragmented mess. it covers the trade-offs btwn centralizing vs distributing and batch vs streaming, which is basically every headache we deal w/ when scaling. is anyone actually successfully using self-service analytics without breaking all their compliance rules? >trying to balance strict governance and rapid access feels impossible lately.

claude code can now spin up parallel agents and run orchestration scripts to handle complex tasks via dynamic task splitting . massive potential for automated audits but i wonder if spoilerit will just hallucinate more complex errors/spoenter when the agents start conflicting.
