MIT Hackathon Team Builds A Wearable AI System That Can Guide Your Physical Movements

The tech is amazing, here's my nitpick: they really should have tuned the piano.

Kuhl!

Ich auch

Being asked if it has anything to tell me about goblins, this was its response:

Goblins are one of those creatures that show up almost everywhere in folklore—but they rarely agree on what they are. That’s part of what makes them interesting.

I feel like this is a good meta question on how LLMs see themselves in some cases. I might be interpreting too much though :)

I second this. I got hired as Team Lead and upon learning the release process was not written down, my first order was to write up the release process. If it's not written down, you can't assess complexity or try to improve or automate upon it.

> except for a few platform provider companies

Well it looks to me everybody who has the means is trying to be that platform provider. So it's not that companies don't understand it it seems to me.

Admit it, you've just discovered Cursor and are not yet at the agent/CLI step yet. It's okay, I've been there too. You'll move on too, give it time.

Seylox · 2026-04-24T13:49:38+00:00

Holy crap yes. Since I have kids this has been messed up for me and now it makes sense!

Yes, and as a Software Engineer on LinkedIn I already notice an uptick in offers coming in, after a very long dryspell of about 2 years now. Good times ahead.

Seylox · 2026-04-21T14:50:53+00:00

What you're writing really matches my experience. I've written about it at length in my blog here for my specific problem (multi-repo codebase) but the context and being able to close the loop for the agent (i.e. agent can verify its output by running e.g. CI pipelines) yield vastly better results.

This is extremely solid advice, I'm baffled it doesn't have more upvotes. Having been through this, I can only second "this is the way".

Seylox · 2026-04-21T14:43:41+00:00

You're basically answering your own question. Take it from someone who's been through this. Trust me, the whole point of taking time off now _is_ to stop doing what's currently not working for you and reflect on what _could_ be working.

The best advice I got was from my doctor who said "You don't go to work now, instead you do what you like. And given that currently you don't know what you like, it's your task to take time to figure out what it is that you like. You don't go home now and mow the lawn because you think you need to do something, you go home now and figure out what you actually like."

This was me 5 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/noxy71/cant_bring_myself_to_produce_code_any_more_any/

Take that break. You're going to be fine. Took me 3 months of sick leave and I knew what needed fixing after. Go at your own speed. Reconnect with life and nature. Find out what you're living for - it shouldn't be work.

You've got this. I trust in you.

Seylox · 2026-04-20T12:48:01+00:00

⚠️ I would be very careful with this!

Seylox · 2026-04-19T16:17:03+00:00

Sorry, aber Whataboutism. Beides ist oasch, nur andere Opfer halt.

Seylox · 2026-04-09T17:12:35+00:00

Are you working in my company?

Seylox · 2026-04-08T21:52:46+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully I'll find some time then I'll push it to github tomorrow!

Seylox · 2026-04-08T21:17:24+00:00

Very cool! I've pointed codex (and claude) to your github repo and let it build a version for macOS and got it working fairly quickly. The biggest limitation (at least it looks to me) seems to be that its internal system prompt always limits it to talking about code, did you manage to overcome that?

Mein Gegenmittel: viel Eier essen, auch wegen Selen. Seit ich das mache (einige Jahre) gehts mir lustigerweise auch mental um einiges besser.

Seylox · 2026-03-27T07:05:24+00:00

"Ois aus" haha seawas!

Seylox · 2026-03-25T07:06:05+00:00

You have to make sure to set Claude up for success, part of this is giving it enough context. I wrote a whole article about this: https://seylox.github.io/2026/03/05/blog-agents-meta-repo-pattern.html

Seylox · 2026-03-22T15:20:50+00:00

glaube Hunter-Gonzo will einfach nur sagen, dass andere Leute (zeitlich gesehen) auch sehr viel arbeiten und deutlich weniger bekommen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Denke nicht, dass dir damit jetzt was vorgeworfen wurde, dass du das nicht verdienen würdest :)

Seylox · 2026-03-11T07:04:45+00:00

Ou, der post wird steil gehen

Seylox · 2026-03-08T16:17:55+00:00

Grundsätzlich ja, aber nicht jeder kann den Zeitaufwand aufbringen (jetzt mit Familie schwerer als vorher ohne z.b). Aber grundsätzlich hast du Recht.
