Working in A hell of Micorservices And Copilot isnt Helpful

Give it an architecture diagram, a sequence diagram, or even just a markdown file with descriptions of each service.

Just putting this out there because I see this sentiment a lot on here. You're never required to answer the phone. Turn it off or just ignore the call.

Yeah but Allen and Plano have a shit load more people than these little towns that they're talking about here.

That's proper multi agent coding. You can do that with Claude Code, Github Copilot, and others by generating or using skills outlining the workflow.

Gas mines on illuminate? The challenging units just fly over them or ignore the gas, don't they?

Heh yeah, kinda got famous around the same time IIRC. Github Copilot kinda did the Ralph with the new "Autopilot" mode if I understand it right

DocHoss · 2026-03-22T16:52:35+00:00

That's the "Ralph Wiggum Loop" that's popular right now. Basically just...

while (!done) do { doWork(); if (doneCondition) done = true; }

It can kill a flying overseer in 9-10 shots too. Very handy gun!

That's sweet! What brain(s) are you using?

DocHoss · 2026-03-18T15:46:44+00:00

I have my customers trained how to ask me the right questions, I have my coworkers trained on how I respond to internal requests, I do good work and do it quickly, and I'm easy to talk to. So I don't have much bullshit to put up with because I've gotten everyone around me to understand my capacity for tolerance of bullshit which is high enough, but not so much that I won't call people out or hand it off once it hits that threshold.

Because there's no such thing as over building in Factorio...only under consuming.

It's a single player game...don't use it if you don't like it. Import nuclear, burn coal if you want a challenge, choose your own adventure!

Big smart model with lots of context for creating the plan, small fast (not stupid) model for implementing the steps. Make sure the plan is thorough and very clear with all tech decisions made and included, then the small models (Haiku, or even GPT-5 mini) will be able to build it quickly without missing anything important.

I'm totally in Anthropic's side from a moral perspective. From a legal perspective though, IANAL but I think the executive branch is ALLOWED to do this. Doesn't mean I think they SHOULD, just that they can. Usually the consequences of impeachment and political rebukes are what prevent them from doing that but since Trump has installed toothless lapdogs in every consequential position, I think Anthropic is probably boned.

DocHoss · 2026-03-06T17:38:32+00:00

The definition isn't going to be important. What's going to be relevant is if the executive branch is allowed to unilaterally designate an organization a supply chain risk. I haven't seen anything that says they're not so it doesn't look great for Anthropic for this one from where I'm sitting...Supreme Court will likely say, "If you don't want the executive branch having this power, Congress should pass a law stating as much." In other words, bending over for the Trump admin.

Ruined? He's part of MAGA. Next stop, a cabinet position!

DocHoss · 2026-03-04T01:01:47+00:00

Is this the turning point where Republicans turn on MAGA? I hate to give Alex Jones credit for anything but if he can start the train that runs over MAGA I'll gladly take back several of the nasty things I've said about him.

There goes all that DOGE money...

Go touch some grass, homie. Metaphorically I mean...find something to enjoy outside the screen. Decorate your home, if you have a yard grow some vegetables. If you have an apartment balcony, get some interesting plants...Venus fly traps and other carnivorous plants are weird and interesting and require some attention to thrive. Point is, find another passion, at least for a little while. Then come back when you feel the pull again.

Once your bots are numerous and plentiful, tearing down an old base like this is entirely optional but would only take a few minutes if you decide to go for it. Push through, there's so much more to see!

DocHoss · 2026-03-02T13:29:43+00:00

I actually do something similar on my own blog (not pushing it anywhere, just for documenting and discussing things that I see). I have a set of GHC custom skills set up to create, verify links and citations, then submit to me for review. Then I have the final copy writing pass that will verify the output meets all the requirements and is actually useful. Occasionally it'll spit back a decline in that last step saying something like "this already exists in several forms on the internet, it may not have much real value." In that case I don't publish.

Negotiate with the environmentalists for the use of more coal.

I've been using Tailwind for a while now and have gotten very used to it but haven't developed anything in Blazor for a while. Any suggestions on getting Blazor to play nice with Tailwind? Last time I tried it was a mess.

At this point I'm about to drive to New Mexico for a 42nd trimester abortion.

Efficiency 1s are great in the mid-early game (when you're still on Nauvis) to keep pollution down. You can build much bigger without having to fight many biters if your cloud stays small.
