1st Half of the Week
Earlier this week, I got myself a codex plus subscription to play around with the
latest Astra model. I have heard good things about it and end of the day, I
needed a new AI subscription too so here goes.
Now, first things first, I don’t wanna slop my away through development so some thought has to be put into this. I have been actively auditing two sets of skills:
- Matt Pocock’s skills
- pstack skills (Potat0’s skills essentially)
In addition to this, I have setup t3code because I needed for a way to be
able to use multi-agent workflows without having to do the tmux/zellij/herder
gymnastics. Last week after trying out the codex app, I realized that it is not
for me. The RAM spike alone is alarming and not to say multiple node.js
processes running in the background.
With all the AI stuff coming in, I am hoping to internalize these flows and actively use AI in my everyday development workflows despite HDFC not having first-class AI rollout to all of it’s developers. Let’s see how this goes.
2nd Half of the Week
Oh, the week turned into a whirlwind now. Things got a bit crazier at work
because my manager and all the higher-ups were away at Global Fintest Fest, Mumbai.
Varun (my co-worker) was away too and I had to hold down the fort on the entire agent situation. My manager left me with a codebase and I had to fix it all and get it running within Friday for a demonstration. Needless to say, a lot of slop clearing had to be done as it was an early prototype and my skill issues with LangGraph and Agent2Agent surfaced early on.
After almost 36 hours of hell and back, I was able to wrap it up and then DEMO went “almost” smoothly with a reasonable hiccup towards the end. I believe overall we are in a good position and a long weekend is in place.
