File content bleeds through behind the sticky headers in GitHub's commit view. It's been there for a while and every time I see I'm thinking: "this should be fixed ASAP, why hasn't it?" Is this.. intentional?

Never ceases to amaze me when opening the Unifi web interface. 11.7 MB of JavaScript, taking 14s to download, while looking at a blank page. So many questions!

You really love that blog post on building an agent, huh? I think you'll like Amp. I'd suggest to get on the waitlist while that's still possible. (Or get a friend to invite you!)

Panic's Nova editor has these tiny animations when the cursor ends up on matching braces/parentheses. Never seen that before. First impression: cute! Wondering though if it won't become too much after a while?

Amp's CLI is now a proper, full-on TUI. Best part for me personally? No more Ink, no more flicker.

Someone asked me yesterday in response to our release: "Is this truly *it*, the next step for agents? A terminal application? Or is the next step a proper desktop application?" Here's my answer:

"Is this the bet you want to take? While everything around us is changing?" Some loose thoughts on why this isn't business as usual right now and why treating it as such might not be a good option.

theme: switch I'm kinda shook. Amp's new experimental deep mode built this today. I didn't write a single line of code. I gave it a big prompt at the start with strategy for how I'd implement it and then nothing but handoff and 2-3 "continue" and small messages. Ship it?

Just merged my PR to restore unsaved buffers on restart in Zed 🥳 No more "You have unsaved changes" when quitting Zed. It'll be in the Preview release next week. Next step: restore project-less windows on restart.
