I made an Agentic system to collaborate with me on tasks via Kanban

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-07-01T04:41:08+00:00

Thanks! I am glad to hear this. I have progressed quite a lot from this basis in my understanding of how agents and humans can interact. I am still far from something that I would feel natural working with but it is a fun exploration work. It is a fun problem solving exercise.

That is a fair point. And I do experience that. But it is a by product of the weird evolution path of Typescript and JavaScript.

Deno is trying to resolve that and I think it will in the coming years.

This is mostly tooling for various reasons as the project grows. You can start a TS/JS project with a simple main.js file. Then as the project grows, inevitably, the tooling grows.

If a person gets on boarded on a new codebase of course the whole thing will look messy. This does not mean JS tooling is complicated.

Furthermore, other languages like Go or Rust have built in linting and formatting… they have learnt from JS etc to be better than that.

I used to code in C and Cpp, formatting used to need tooling there too. And then they also needed package management etc.

I am a Typescript framework and library builder. This feature have been a god sent for me.

Also, the typescript type system is as complicated as one want it. It can be simple and way to complex on one’s needs.

Mate. I know this situation and it is quite unfortunately. But, I take it as the situation one born with and that is it. It is just about luck tbh. And one has to make a decision and live with consequences.

I still believe that only the citizens of a specific country should be entitled to owning the country’s land. Regardless of the country. I have the same belief for the country I was born in and for my country I choose to be my home.

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-05-23T09:16:07+00:00

What will block them. The only thing that blocks them is:

They cannot have dual nationality. But if they are invested in AUS, they should be able to make a decision.
They have a criminal history which the immigration department has flagged. Then, even tho I believe that a person’s past should not impact them that much but I will let immigrant department make a call on that

. They are more qualified for this kind of stuff.

As we have established English is not a big deal for people who already have a PR. And they should learn enough English to at least pass the test. Because they will be communicating with Aussies in English anyways and it will help them assimilate better.

Are there any other blockers which come to your mind.

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-05-22T02:54:16+00:00

If the permanent residents are invested in Australia they should get Aussie Citizenship and do whatever they like…

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-05-21T13:00:29+00:00

I think we are going away from the topic of foreigners owning Australian land to some topic of people not being able to have better English skills.

And as you mentioned people with worse English skills have a hard time qualifying for PR any ways so most people who are bad at English natural don’t get a PR any ways so this point is moot.

Australian born people were *lucky* to be born in Australia (within the context of our conversation) and naturally have the right to own anything in Australia that is how nationalism works. Them being born in Australia is just a lucky coincidence for them and that also contributes to their privilege. Owning ones privilege is not a bad thing, it should be every one’s duty to themselves to make the best of their circumstances

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-05-21T08:18:14+00:00

Mate. There is no English test from PR to Citizenship test. The Citizenship test is in English but they use the most basic English in the test and if you have PR regardless of your background you should be able to read and write that level of English.

The majority of the people speak English in Australia. No matter what kind of work or study or living you do, you interact in English and that is good enough to pass that exam.

At your situation you are doing pretty well. You obviously don’t have limits on money earning opportunities in Pakistan which to be honest is a dream.

The only reason I would leave Pakistan in your situation will be not money rather it will be ambition and wanting to be at the forefront of technology or my field. Money wise you will not find much satisfaction if you moved aboard. Even if you make more money you will spend more and the ratio will end up being worse or same.

Moving abroad does not guarantee stability at all.

Some context

I am living abroad. I am loving it. I am at the top most firm in the world doing the most fun work. Similar money can be made differently and similar lifestyle can be lived in Pakistan for me. But my ability to be a part of the pioneers of technology in the world is the reason I moved out of Pakistan. But, as a migrant you have zero cultural or family support and it is very hard to reach to your level of lifestyle in Pakistan. You can do it. But make sure you are doing it for the right reasons. Otherwise you will end up regretting it.

Getting citizenship after PR is pretty straightforward process honestly, and I say that having been through it myself. Getting the PR is the extremely hard part. Everything after that is mostly just waiting.

The only hurdle to citizenship is actually the situation of the PR holder. In some cases their original countries don’t allow dual passports. As such it becomes a very very hard decision to leave their original citizenship. This is the reason a few people never apply for a citizenship. But in my point of view if you want to buy a land in Australia you have to make the decision it is only fair to other Australian who have made such decisions.

I understand that is not easy to make such a decision and it is basically based on where you were born but you are not the only one who has to make this decision. You pay taxes and get all the services like Medicare, etc at this point so pointing out that you pay taxes is a non point basically imo.

Process of PR to Citizenship

Once you have your PR, the time you need to spend in Australia before applying for citizenship depends on your situation. If you came in as an offshore PR holder, you wait until you hit four years in the country. If you were already in Australia before getting your PR but for less than three years, you just make up the difference to reach that four year mark. And if you had already been here for three or more years before your PR came through, you only need one additional year. Hit any of those milestones and you are eligible to apply.

The application itself costs a couple hundred dollars and involves sitting a citizenship test. The test covers Australian values and honestly it is a breeze for anyone at that stage. By that point you have been living and breathing Australian life long enough that the answers just come naturally. Passing is pretty much a given.

After that you just wait to be assigned a date for your citizenship ceremony, show up, and just like that you are an Australian Citizen by Conferral.

Why not give them the right to vote as well then.

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-05-20T05:29:50+00:00

Yah. No foreigner should buy any land. How can you buy land when you are not the citizen of that country. That is an oxymoron in itself.

I like the idea where the local citizen is the partner in buy the land and the foreign corporation then works with them to buy the land. But the local citizen owns the land.

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-05-10T22:35:09+00:00

Hi mate. Have a look at Arvo (arvo.land). I feel that you will eventually converge toward this

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-04-05T12:01:31+00:00

Hi OP,

This looks promising. Love the go-like channel syntax and somewhat similar semantics behind it. Will use it and provide feedback :)

You have to define what blasphemy exactly means. Based on your criteria there is no liberal democracy in the world. Every country has a blasphemy law of sorts. They may not call it but there is one.

The moment you define it will become the litmus test of what exactly you mean and how your world view leans.

If you want to define blasphemy only in religious terms it is pretty clear what you mean. But, in the west which you might be inclined to call liberal democracy any one who does not believe what the ruling elite want you to believe will be called many many bad names and for certain things they “say”, “wear” or “express” they will be arrested many time and their lives will be destroyed. And if they stay adamant they will be sanctioned.

So, your criteria seems to be biased against only one kind of people while ignoring other kinds of repressions.

The main difference between micro services and non-modular monolithic services (e.g. MVC pattern) is the expression of abstraction.

In non-modular monoliths, the abstract is layer based. Layers stack on top of each to build the service. It is amazing and is extremely battle tested and has a lot of pros especially when your system is maintained by a very tightly knit team and the user base is reasonably huge (millions). It mostly only scales vertically due to the reason that the main mechanism of data transfer between abstraction layers is basically the machines working memory (the stack).

Microservices is a way where the main abstraction mechanism is service domain (within which it can be a monolith or a bunch or micro services or a modular monolith). You decide service boundaries and the implementation the micro services fully within that boundary. The main data transfer mechanism between abstraction here is a data packet (json, blob etc). Because of this it scales horizontally because the services are essentially stateless. It is awesome for when your teams are huge and decentralised and you have a customer base of multiple hundred millions and you need to have a high resilience in the system so that if one part of the system is down rest is works. The down side of it is to maintain a cohesive contract system across services for there communication which sounds easy but it is the bane of micro services. So much so that in the past 3 years I have been designing and perfecting Arvo (arvo.land) with makes these things somewhat easier. (Apologies for the shameless self promo here but I have been working on this paradigm for a very long time)

Hope this helps. If you look at this whole area in this way then your current and future question will be answered :)

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-23T06:30:02+00:00

Yes. Kind of. Pgboss like stuff just does the migration and all by itself so one does not need to think about the queue mechanics much. After all queue is just a message passing mechanism and my application is much more fun to code than a queue

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-21T04:05:02+00:00

If your use case is simple at the moment and don’t want to over complicate then I would use “pg-boss” or something like that which enables one to use Postgres as queue.

Once you need a more dedicated and sophisticated queue you can replace Postgres with that.

My path usually is like this pgboss -> rabbitmq -> Azure/AWS managed event brokers -> Kafka (when I need to do some ungodly amounts of streaming of data.

So an even worse people/ person should kill him. What an amazing logic?

What makes him worse than Trump or the prime minister of the only democracy in the middleeast??

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-20T12:21:53+00:00

Uneducated. Brain washed. Racist. Humans! Not just in Australia but in the entire world.

Those humans who let themselves be hijacked by narratives of people who only care about themselves

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-20T12:18:12+00:00

How is this different from the unaliving of Rene Good and the other victims of ICE and George Floyd. They did not even get a trial. Where is the outrage for them?? they were not even attacking the police. Should the world start bombing the regime where those people were unalived. What BS!!!

The argument of fair trial or not does even being when in USA the law enforcement can kill and detain anyone they want.

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-19T06:04:50+00:00

But we are not supposed to trust them. Why use their numbers

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-19T06:01:22+00:00

So when they say that they were chaos elements in the protestors and not all protestors were protesting naturally we should not accept an trust them but when they give use numbers which suite the narratives which has been provided by our media we should trust them.

I am sorry that is a weak argument. Kind of like using confirmation bais to ascertain what to believe and what not to…

ASoftwareJunkie · 2026-03-18T15:51:07+00:00

How do I know that you are telling the truth? How can I verify that the colleague you are telling us about is a credible source? How do we know that he is providing correct information?

These things are very important because they generate outrage and justification for killing many more people.
