same, prototyping fast helps me understand what I'm building and the flows I want. It would not be possible to think of all the interactions and restrictions I'd want if I tried to do it on day 1.


How are you managing context?

I'm building a full stack web app, simple but with real API integrations with CC.

Moving so fast that I can barely keep a hold on what I'm testing and building at the same time, just using Sonnet. It's not bad at all. A lot of the specs develop as I'm testing the features, either as an immediate or a todo / gh issue.

How can you manage an agentic flow?


"hey Siri, set timer for washing machine"


but then apple knows about your cycles


And the timer goes off when you are in the shower - by the time you are done you forgot about the alarm. (I have more than once stopped an alarm I intended to just snooze)


Your comment reminds me of those infomercials where they try really hard to make something as simple as cooking spaghetti look like an unimaginable nightmare that no one could possibly accomplish


This one time... I went downstairs to check on the laundry. I thought it was done... But... It wasn't. I had to come back 10 minutes later.


Ugh, that's the worst. Sometimes I just stand there for 5 minutes waiting for it to finish.


You have to imagine other people might think differently than you do... I forget, it happens, nothing I can do with it. Having notification on my phone (place I'll look sooner or later) that laundry is done was great lifehack for me. No longer I forget and leave it there for whole night or even days...


best to write assembly instead.
