i am getting 1-3 opus5.5 content filter failures per day now, all of them for very non-exciting ux work. these things definitely need tuning.

fun side quest. estimate the age of your memory files by building a model of how much entropy a human life has (everyone is born after all). my task coordinator is a lofty 5 year old.

unit tests are so dead. long live always on diagnostics and load tests. my only complaint is that load tests seem to trigger a lot of security guardrails.

if you're building a robot put an IMU on every rigidbody and an encoder on every pivot. robots need more sensors. you should be sensormaxxing

astra worked out the camera positions from very rough instructions and embedded michael's SLAM code. speed is the variable you should focus on. the initial rig reconstruction took 45min vs a second for the slam pipeline.

i'm working through a small prod migration and had to go mostly single lane for a bit. it's a while since i've been waiting on agents and not the other way around. (i have time to post here because no intent needs to be captured)
