The fact that packaging maintainers, for some reason, weren't allowed or didn't build the new version of PHP in preparation for the disclosure boggles my mind.

The handling of php2shell has unfortunately lowered my confidence in the coordination ability of the php community.

The patch release should not be the blog post, it should be when everyone can actually download it. A blog post with no way to actually update is not ideal.
Just started "pair prompting" in @amp. It's a little weird to see a coworker in your chat with you.

a weird inversion with LLMs is the models improve faster than the tinkerers
when i see people with custom workflows and setups they're all addressing problems that don't exist anymore
the person naively using vanilla codex is more likely to be experiencing state of the art
The idea that human coders never added slop is laughable. We'll have the same issues with making good or bad technical decisions and technical debt. It's just that our coworkers are now AI agents.
"It will add slop and you end up with unmaintainable mess of a codebase"
More and more convinced that Accumulating Slop theory is no longer true. Might've been 6 months ago, but now?
1. Not convinced it will add "slop"
But even if:
2. Not convinced it'd be unmaintainable

Home baking killed bakeries. Nespresso killed Starbucks. Packaged pasta killed Italian restaurants. Nail polish killed nail salons. AI killed SaaS.
Should I continue?

One thing I'm missing on @AmpCode is a nice question interface where the agent runs me through a list of questions as it's building a feature. Currently just getting a big ordered list of questions with no interface. @thorstenball

This is the first Mobile development workflow where I can actually get stuff done. Is this my IDE now? @AmpCode
The sneaky good thing about @AmpCode is not the agent harness. It's having fully isolated dev environments that spin up without me even thinking about it for each task I'm taking on.
