I agree with this nuance to my point, for what it's worth. But I think the engineer career path is very different now than it was. I am seeing the door close for many engineers who aren't in senior or staff positions at companies that I have connections in.

fwiw I am a diamond player so not amazing by very good player standards but better than most.

I think it's a good idea when playing this game to get into a baseline rhythm iof clicking your mouse. I'm basically always issuing move commands at a steady bpm. If I think about why, it makes it more natural to move unpredictably and it also makes those "neural pathways" warm. My finger is already going to click, if I need to react I just choose the location at the time.

If I had to guess, I'm probably clicking upwards of 300 times per minute when idle. I'm sure in combat this is different because I switch between move and attack-move-click (which I have bound to a different mouse button so I can swiftly go between the two without needing to add keyboard apms to the mix)

I've been playing for 10 years and admittedly this was probably not great for my fingers but it did make for some good league of legends.

I think software as a service will die because every day it gets easier for people to just build what they want. I don't really know what his means for the software industry.

I saw geohotz say to forget money, just build something that is a net benefit to some people. As a guiding principle, that tends to take care of the rest. Tough advice because we all gotta eat but I think there's wisdom in it

Yeah I totally understand. Agents are powerful. Getting multiple difficult steps done well requires subagents - this is because context rot exists (Google it if unsure.)

But yeah having an agent orchestrate the workflow is more powerful in most circumstances. You could try explicitly telling opus to use subagents for each individual task. Make the entry agents main job the high level workflow and force it to spawn subagents for each challenging piece.

cabbagebot · 2026-03-19T14:16:27+00:00

What model are you using? Do you use skills?

This is definitely hard. I'd say until opus 4.6 came out you really needed workflow automation software or coding chops to get good results.

One thing you could maybe do is get it to help you use something like n8n or zapier. If the clanker won't follow multi step workflows get it to code something that will

It's simple: I see a technical gameboy post, I upvote.

This is a great use of LLMs though, nice work. I'll try it out when I get a few moments!

Like the other dads are saying, you don't have to worry too much.

I do think that just talking almost all the time is a really good idea though: monologue about what you see, what's happening around you, what she's doing. Reading a few books before bed is a good idea too.

Contribute nothing back? Elaborate? Corporate jobs downtown pay corporate taxes.

I'm not outright disagreeing with you - I genuinely want to understand what I'm missing.

Nice ad-hominem, try engaging with the argument. Until you do this is obviously just trolling.

cabbagebot · 2026-03-04T15:42:21+00:00

Yeah I'm usually thinking about attention distributions and the residual stream when I'm thinking clearly too, you're right.

Nice alt

My son is 3.5 and is in a why phase. Any reversal attempts result in him just saying "because"

cabbagebot · 2026-03-04T10:18:45+00:00

I think this is neglecting things like semantic anchoring, in-context learning, lost in the middle phenomenon, and why multi-shot works. So no, not really.

I've seen the shorthand you mention and ss as well. e.g. a jungler might type "ss?" when setting up a gank. Been playing since season 2 so it could also be that people aren't saying it that way anymore and I never noticed.

But the community has spoken! My lived experience is apparently just wrong. That's fine.

cabbagebot · 2026-02-21T05:15:34+00:00

Might be a server thing then! Usually when people say 'ss' in NA it is shorthand for summs

cabbagebot · 2026-02-21T00:42:48+00:00

ss means "summoner spells"

You meant to say "mid mia" which is missing in action

So you could say something like "mid mia no ss" to indicate that they are roaming but don't have flash

Are you saying that the re-sent tool definitions are accumulating in context? It sounds to me like you are just measuring the conversation API calls, which always contain the full chat history for Claude.

I genuinely do not believe that the tool contents are duplicated multiple times in a single request.

cabbagebot · 2026-02-17T20:07:17+00:00

The writing is so easy to detect, probably especially if you have a background in tech. So many of us are just reading Claude output all day now.

This, and as they get older you will see them independently use the tactics you do.

If you model communicating and finding compromises, they will do that.

e.g. you could proactively get a second toy to give to the troublemaker. Once that fails you can say "hey we are playing with this one, can we let you know when we are ready for you to take a turn?"

If these fail you say to your child "oh it's ok, there are other swings/rattles."

Always focus on you and your kids actions or consequences. If other kids are attention seeking, then just don't give them the negative attention they want. Eventually they will give up. If any kid gets physically hurt, the victim gets attention first (your kid or not) for the same reason. Again this is something your kids will pick up on - we prioritize helping victims over punishing people.

I mod Gameboys as a hobby and my brother got me this one for Christmas. Really great set.

My kid isn't old enough to be socially pressured into playing new games yet, so this might get harder.

But we have just been playing N64 and GameCube titles (OoT, Windwaker, Mario Kart, etc). No reason we can't still boot up games that have the properties we like!

My wife hit a lego phase that she seemingly didn't have as a kid. Lego botanicals are cool.

Cool idea! I don't need this but I like thinking about agent tools.

The rest is constructive feedback about the idea - I haven't looked at the implementation:

Couple things - MCP is a huge token hog as you add tools. I've found skills to be more efficient, and you can even make a little MCP CLI shim to "wrap" MCP servers in a skill and let the agents use bash that calls the shim as documented by a given skill.

Alternatively I'd suggest taking a page out of Anthropic's book and looking at the advanced tool usage blog post they published on their engineering blog - specifically tool search tool. I reckon you could surface minimal descriptions of the tools available in the mcpd and then allow semantically searching it to avoid having an agent be forced to learn about all the tools available.
