boomer ai question - it seems like a lot of people are switching tools often isn't it tiring to switch between codex/claude/opencode/cursor/amp/etc on a daily? is it worth it, what do you learn, and does the harness really make such a difference?

I'm on parental leave since a while so I'm mainly watching from the sidelines rn; my main workflow has been plan mode in cursor with different models, mcps, occasional subtrees or racing agents on the same branch I haven't even started talking to my computer yet

For the past month I've been working on a modern Async React data fetching library. It's called fate and I'm open sourcing it soon.

Seeing that my post had more bookmarks than likes, it seems like I wasn't the only one curious. Thank you @nicoalbanese10 🙏 ♥️

if you have an @aisdk tool definition like this, how do you display the post's title in the UI? fetch data as it renders? let the LLM pass in the title in the input? workflows smth? I feel like I'd want a resolver as part of the definition to get the full entity (second pic)

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a staff TypeScript+web developer role, let me know! 🙂

there are many exceptions, but they should mainly live in a ui package or something
