AGENTS.md AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

Awesome news for OSS projects embracing AI assisted coding: agents.md

A simple yet huge step in the right direction. 🎉

In town for vacation with the fam and we wandered around after dinner and went to WWII monument last night. It was pretty busy at the National Mall, but I have no context to compare to since I do not live here. It is wild (gross) seeing groups of Nat’l Guard just standing around and chatting.

Self-realization/reflection post of the day: I have low self-confidence and I’m skeptical of myself and those around me. This can be poisonous and critical at the same time and if exercised with mindfulness. 🤔

I finished reading my first 33 1/3 series book on Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland. The track-by-track breakdown was not enthralling, but some neat tidbits were thrown in. I did not realize that Hendrix used a lighter to play slide guitar on All Along the Watchtower.

Bonus: it works for must-use plugins too! 🤘
