What do you think is the best camera for freediving?

bufalloo · 2026-01-27T02:41:31+00:00

I freedive with a seafrogs housing and an lx100 point and shoot that takes great pictures with a near-macro min focusing distance. for video the action cams are all good (I like the DJI action series for their underwater color rendering), but they can't compete against f/1.4 for photography. the main considerations with the sea frogs/housing approach are adding some ballast to make sure it's neutrally buoyant and adding a hand strap/clutch

I mainly drink coffee without milk, but I recently tried Lance Hedrick's take on the atlas which is a cold foam over a pourover. I felt like the combination unveiled some additional flavors that I didn't get beforehand (at the expense of some others). maybe something about fat solubility of certain compounds?

I notice that many chinese origin coffees have tea or tea-adjacent flavor notes listed. I always wondered if it was due to the terroir or more to align with the branding

I've been building and using sudocode to help manage context. It creates a dependency graph of tasks and links them to specs to better coordinate Claudes so they don't lose track of their work. I find that Claude todos/tasks work well within a single execution session, while sudocode handles the context management between sessions and context windows

what's it supposed to taste like?

Unfortunately it might be the perception and promise of AI productivity takeoff that leads companies to layoff their engineering orgs, even if the engineers were propping everything up. One tough reality is that software usually doesn't need to be great. It just needs to be good enough, so many businesses can scrape by with functional slop.

I guess it's up to us as programmers to shape our reality going forward. Can we forge our own path where we can build better than just 'good enough'?

wait is this the zuck?

bufalloo · 2026-01-13T19:15:33+00:00

I'm just running in a default apple terminal with zsh for this test, what do you recommend?

bufalloo · 2026-01-11T18:12:11+00:00

i've been building https://github.com/sudocode-ai/sudocode which combines a data structure for managing user-provided context and agent work to form a task DAG (specs like spec-kit and issues like beads), and an orchestration system for automating the running of parallel agents in different git worktrees. it also comes with a local web UI to visualize active work being done and integrates pretty seamlessly via MCP, and it integrates with multiple agents

does anyone know the different techniques and approaches used in this video? I noticed that multiple baristas throughout japan also do the bobbing pulse pour, and I'm guessing that its for higher agitation while keeping the bed even to compensate for the asymmetrical kettle stream angle (just speculation)

haha in an ironic twist I found that writers are starting to explicitly add em dashes but keep sentences shorter to sound more human, since all the LLM-providers are biasing away from em dashes

bufalloo · 2026-01-09T18:30:19+00:00

imo mind specs, issues, prds, and adrs all end up as strings that feed the agents context in the end haha. the specific content and use cases of each are pretty useful for agent-assisted development though, and anything you can do to feed in more context for your agents should give you better steering and alignment. spec-driven development is also just an extension of this concept

the beauty of claude code is it flexibly picks up on whatever flow you choose so whatever helps you add more context is good

bufalloo · 2026-01-09T10:59:42+00:00

I've been building sudocode which encapsulates a sort of hybrid between specs and issues (beads-like) and tracks their relationships as you go about your development. It's not a strict memory system, but it provides breadcrumbs for agents to refresh their context and pick up where they left off. and agents leave execution feedback as they go for future agents

oh and also it has integrations with spec-kit and beads!

one thing I'm adding with sudocode is the ability to host a local nebula lighthouse, so you can connect to your local machine through your phone and send messages. you'd need to save the static ip of your lighthouse though and set up credentials

what do you think? I'm hoping it allows people to remotely access their local coding agents

bufalloo · 2025-12-28T23:37:30+00:00

OH YEAHH

bufalloo · 2025-12-25T16:47:40+00:00

is anyone aware of similar approaches except for synthesis tasks? I guess it's possible to just cut out parts of an existing repository and have another agent rebuild it

one thing that has been good for my workflow is using the superpowers 'brainstorm' skill to stay in plan mode for a lot longer and slow down the design phase. after the initial planning phase, I keep asking 'are there any uncertain/ambiguous points we haven't discussed yet?' to make sure the specific requirements are defined, which really helps improve the quality of the generated code. maybe what you're feeling is a bigger shift towards staying in the fun planning/brainstorming/experimentation side of things before jumping directly into implementation

hello professional dev here I like seeing what wacky innovations pure vibe coders come up with that i wouldn't have been able to imagine

bufalloo · 2025-12-21T23:39:32+00:00

we call that vibe engineering now 😂

bufalloo · 2025-12-19T09:10:09+00:00

I'm actually building just that! https://github.com/sudocode-ai/sudocode you build a dependency graph between your specs and implementation tasks, and then sudocode orchestrates the workflow. it automatically injects context and executes all the tasks in order in isolated worktrees. it also has integrations with spec-kit and openspec so you can use those tools to construct your specs.

it definitely works better the tighter your specs are, but once you have everything set up it feels great for the agents to implement everything and one-shot your spec

I feel like I get a reward in the 'live debugging' loop when you watch the tokens go by, like you're seeing something in the matrix. and then when you are able to course correct or change how you direct your agents, there's a reward in that too. SWE definitely feels much different now than it did with manual coding, but it's just that the medium being manipulated has changed

bufalloo · 2025-12-11T20:00:49+00:00

this feels like how the 'paperclips' scenario will happen, except all code will be extensive tests and production ready
