Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 22/07/2026One shift I've noticed coding with agents: a greater appreciation that I am channeling the sum of human knowledge. I think this was always true – we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors – but now it's explicit, I am more humble about my contributions. 000
Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 04/07/2026contemplating "principle of least software" a key source of slop is creating more software than needed to achieve its aim e.g. building an electron app with auth when a cli tool would do. we do this because it is so cheap to create software. there is a lack of back-pressure. 000
Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 03/07/2026i've been preserving agent threads for when the thing they've built gets broken - just return to the original thread and tell it to restore the feature. it got me thinking: what if i had a directory of these threads that served as a kind of regression suite? 100

Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Talking to a model that seems eerily human? BUG! This is very similar to the skeuomorphism trend that accompanied the launch of the iPhone.

Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 19/03/2026these two positions are irreconcilable: 1. tech debt doesn't matter 2. context is really important tech debt *is* context! code is an ontological representation of the thing you are building. if it's not coherent, you are literally feeding your agent a million bad prompts 010

Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 19/02/2026thinking about why openclaw blew up 1. people love talking to agents with a persistent personality 2. perhaps the first maintstream example of a self-improving software environment the personal assistant part wasn't new 000
Daniel Grant @djgrant.bsky.social · 19/02/2026if everyone has a personal agent, collective action becomes a much less tractable problem. people already have aligned goals; it's the coordination that's tricky. agents can probably help here. that could have consequences. 211
