Damn him.  I love working from my terminal, but having ai prove itself through html reports including video, image, metrics, charts, and text is goated.  Rethinking yourself has the bottleneck not the orchestrator feels real.  Validating the work is hard, theres a shift right now and everyone is trying to figure it out.  Lucas's technique is a little bit of be lazy and tell it to prove itself to you, so as you juggle your 15 agents you have a nice report to read.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2026-04-15T16:12:33.499768","id":979,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"How Claude Code’s Creator Starts EVERY Project - YouTube","link":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWrsLqnB6vA","tags":"llm, ai, agents","message":"This is a really good guide, with quite a few good nuggets.  I need to try deleting my AGENTS.md and rebuilding it from scratch more often.  I liked how he talked about having agents prove their work and tell them up front how they will be judged. What I didn't care for so much was the feeling that a lot of the rules go in markdown, thats not a rule, thats a suggestion.  Rules should be deterministic.  They should be tests and linters that ensure they are followed.  Suggestions are good, but dont trust the agents to always follow them.  And don't trust that they wont change your rules, keep them honest.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2026-04-15T16:07:26.693727","id":978,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"POV: Growing up as a Millennial be like 🤣 AC:@mikemancusi #millennials #existential #geny #usafyp - YouTube","link":"https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qH3KH-q_tGE","tags":"random","message":"Feeling this today, feels like everything continues to get worse.

Not quite sure how I feel about it anymore.  It kinda hurts, but I'm not sure if code aesthetics matter as much as the product anymore.  I cared when I was the one editing, but at this point I'm not doing a lot of edits by hand.  Do these aesthetics affect the final products that users use, Not sure.

SECOND get rid of bad inconsistent patterns, let them replicate consistency, force them to pass checks.  Agents will follow all of your markdown suggestions _most_ of the time, enough for you to become complacent if you let it.  They are goal seeking, if you put them to a task you thought was possible that is not given your constraints, they will try to find a way given enough tokens.  I dont see this ever changing, its one thing that makes them great, it just needs to be kept in check.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2026-04-14T15:16:11.019313","id":974,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"A quote from Steve Yegge","link":"https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/13/steve-yegge/#atom-everything","tags":"llm, ai","message":"behind, yet positioned to completely dominate this race by hitting it with some sense.

This really had my gears spinning on what tools do for agents and how big of a difference they make in their ability to manage context efficiently and accurately create changes.
