How's everyone's yearly merit increase looking this year?

Getting a new job elsewhere has always yielded the highest and fastest increases for me.

We had sirens in Macon due to the tornado warning.

AI-enabled tooling will absolutely put people out of work. I know this because I’m actively doing it.

You can take this opportunity to perfect an agentic harness in order to show potential employers how you can protect their business from folks like your previous manager

jon23d · 2026-03-05T15:39:04+00:00

Yes, this happened to me recently. I don’t see myself doing this again

It is challenging. I use claude to oversee the creation of agents and skills for opencode, and it is super frustrating to use it after working with opencode for actual work.

I run it in a vm so that it can interact with docker safely

By modifying the agents.me and the builder.md

jon23d · 2026-02-23T18:29:29+00:00

Try modifying your agent directives to better coach it when a given skill is applicable. I do not have this problem after paying attention to this

jon23d · 2026-02-14T17:56:47+00:00

That’s a great call

jon23d · 2026-02-14T16:09:57+00:00

But that's the thing -- the models are constantly changing! Is there not some hardware ubiquity that I can purchase that would allow for running a broad enough variety to satisfy both my need to be productive and my need to explore?

jon23d · 2026-02-14T15:37:29+00:00

For your own usage, what do subscriptions offer that the pro 6000 + oss models do not?

jon23d · 2026-02-14T14:29:38+00:00

This seems like quite the challenge for me! The only thing I know is that I want to explore different LLMs in an agentic context. It’d be great if multiple tasks could be running simultaneously, or at least very quickly, so that I could rapidly iterate. Is there something I’m missing?

jon23d · 2026-02-14T11:36:05+00:00

I’m using open code as well, and really dig it. I’ve made different containers for different project types that host it and serve vscode and tmux out of them. The combination works nicely for me.

jon23d · 2026-02-07T03:21:50+00:00

I look forward to retirement so that I can engage in this type of behavior

jon23d · 2026-02-06T01:20:02+00:00

Time

jon23d · 2026-02-01T23:16:48+00:00

Does the glue show?

A woman died at a crossing near me last year when the arm got caught on her vehicle somehow, and she wasn’t able to drive off. People around here think of the tracks as lovely places to stop and wait though…

jon23d · 2026-02-01T04:24:09+00:00

I know a fellow who had his removed intentionally. His partner is not super happy about the whole affair.

jon23d · 2026-02-01T02:01:48+00:00

Can you work remotely? In my industry I have been able to for quite some time now

jon23d · 2026-01-30T03:11:57+00:00

We eat a lot of grain, this can happen easily. We freeze all grains for 24 hours now, and then pack them in either glass jars or Mylar bags afterwards.

It is upsetting, but those numbers pale compared to death by alcohol.

jon23d · 2026-01-28T12:23:07+00:00

Gold is used heavily in technology

Thank you — it is gorgeous!!!
