I think remember you said in one episode you didn't want to run ads in the podcast so you could talk about anything you want, but most of the episodes are about one of historical events. Do you really think the sponsors would try to alter your content. Personally I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 ad spots in the episodes.

2 months ago: no limits. 1 month ago we had a leaderboard for whoever had the highest token spend not taking into account what was actually produced. This week: “everyone is using opus too much, just use it for planning.”
foolserrandboy··on Agents need control flow, not more prompts
yup, the standard way of thinking about agents seems backwards and probably costly. Use LLMs to write scripts, then stick all your scripts in your own looping harness and call out for LLMs for those parts that are too hard to automate with some deterministic validation at the end.
foolserrandboy··on For thirty years I programmed with Phish on, every day
Can you describe how you work in this higher level? Sounds like scratches a similar itch that traditional programming offers.

Are they admitting they may be enslaving conscious beings?
foolserrandboy··on Claude Code Unpacked : A visual guide

foolserrandboy··on LLMs can be exhausting

Probably many SICP or "Write Yourself A Scheme" readers have pushed basic scheme compilers to GH.
