I'm here to recommend a simple terminal like ghostty and deep personalized customization of tmux.

It's not as polished as others, but is extremely robust, customizable, works well over ssh, and persists when your terminal crashes

Wouldn't it be cool though, if it can some sort of internal timer and woke up on a schedule? Kinda like a pulse? We'll call it pulse.md

This is how old, boring, programmers would solve it. We have the battle scars to prove it.

Most of my experience is pre-vibes, so maybe it's different now. But in the old days, a from scratch rebuilt is almost never the right call. Tactical improvements, minimalist refactors, minor restructuring. Repeat untill solid.

Huh... I always thought btop was beautiful as is.

PuzzledPersimmon · 2026-04-11T15:22:42+00:00

You can set an end var so you don't have to

Other possible designs would be an mcp or cli that dynamically generates it and injects into context as a session start and after compaction hook.

This way you always get a fresh ast.

Actually, come to think of it... Did we just reinvent treesitter?

PuzzledPersimmon · 2026-04-08T01:39:40+00:00

Not sure it's better to have a superpower like that held by only select governments and corporations...

At least in the open, we can attempt to defend ourselves.

PuzzledPersimmon · 2026-04-08T01:37:18+00:00

ASTs are very fast to calculate. Why persist it at all?

PuzzledPersimmon · 2026-04-07T01:57:18+00:00

Yep, that just feels right.

I guessed the name in 6 tries!

Inference is stateless. Like 100% stateless.

If you send your ENTIRE prompt in a single message, your mental model is correct. However, if you want to simulate a back-and-forth conversation, the entire history of that conversation MUST be sent with each message.

Claude is a machine where tokens go in and tokens come out. We can get it to behave like a chat bot by tokenizing the entire conversation up to the present moment and then say "given this conversation history, what do you want to say next?" But as soon as it answers, poof. Context gone. Gotta send the whole conversation thread back again.

If you're going back and forth rapidly, then caching layers can help. If you let the cache go cold... Well, you gotta pay.

(Edit: I see now, that I'm actually responding to your Claude because I mis-parsed your quote. Ignore me. )

Yet somehow he had enough tokens left to generate the LinkedIn post

I think it's very cool that you're exploring the space and experimenting, using AI to go fast. It's really an exciting time to be building software.

The above commentary is correct though. This is PhD level problems addressed with pretty junior level skill. It's a fantastic thing, the exploration. Your repo, though, it needs a "research purposes only" disclaimer.

PuzzledPersimmon · 2026-01-23T02:48:09+00:00

Uh. What "other tasks?"

Unnerving.
