Seven Rules For Moving Faster
- Embrace Brian Guthrie's seven rules to increase software speed and impact.
- Make speed visible, shared, courageous, and focused on change rather than busyness.
Context Compaction Loses Signal
- Context compaction in long AI conversations is lossy and degrades signal over time.
- Clearing context and storing state externally preserves fidelity for longer interactions.
Persistent Agents Scale Better
- Steve Yegge's Gastown shifts agent work from volatile memory to persistent ledgers and mailboxes.
- That design aims to scale multi-agent systems to dozens of workers with durable handoffs.
