This one’s not new to you if you’ve been here for a minute. Thy agent shall be no more than a folder. The same message Jake pushes over and over again. I wrote this for the wider world outside clief notes but worth reminding here. The same benefits that you’ve seen over and over come when you define your agents as instructions given to an LLM and not some fancy harness or framework you paid someone for: - model agnostic workflows - Systems that will last past the next feature update - Easily modular and serviceable systems that you can understand by reading through them It’s a simple thing and most of us are already doing it but if this doesn’t resonate with you, do you some looking at exactly what you have built so far and ask if it will last.

Hey y'all, not a sympathy post. This isn't me saying I'm taking time off for anything. In fact it's the opposite. My grandma passed away last week and I was cleaning out her apartment with my mother and talking to my aunt (both of them it was their mother). I can tell they're struggling. It's why I work so hard honestly on the software community on everything else. Almost none of the money goes to me. I give it to my family, my wife my friends. It's what makes me happy. I'm building a company specifically so my family doesn't have to struggle. Been helping out where I can but obviously been focusing a lot on the business. My uncle also has cancer and so my aunt has been taking care of him and also at the same time dealing with a death of her mother . Best way I can contribute has been through cash and some love here are there. With that though means I don't always have the time to do what I need to do. So honestly, I'm asking for your help if you're willing to donate to my aunt's GoFundMe on top of the help that I'm giving. I've just donated a bit and would love other people to help out. To me, if I work hard I can make sure that my whole family is taken care of. But in the small ways I can help where I can I will do my best too And that goes with asking for help from others. So if you all could help me out help them out. That would be amazing https://gofund.me/45b6655ba

This podcast says yes. I can say I disagree…

Clear your context when completing a task. It sounds simple but this is something I think everyone learns too late on their journey to becoming AI literate. When you keep messaging your model in the same session, your usage piles up, the model performs worse, and you are left with less output because of both of those outcomes. The fix is simple, whenever I am done with a task, and the next one doesn’t need all the information in the chat, I clear the session. Even if half of the inputs overlap, it’s not worth wasting the other half. Keep an eye out for the next one! Want to see the rest ahead of the videos?
