“I personally don't use OKLCH, but apparently LLMs are really good at it.

But if you force an LLM to use OKLCS, they can control the color palette really, really well. Compared to any of other things.”

Awais: Claude Code hides 50+ tool-call failures per session on DeepSeek
“In CloudCode you know, they hide a lot of the errors behind control O, right? So you don't even know that, you know, you have like 50 plus tool call failures plus per session. You're just sitting there and you're like, oh, why is DeepSeq so slow?”
Awais: There is only one type of AI agent, the coding agent
“There's only one type of agent, and that is a coding agent. It can do it all, right?”
Awais: Open LLM coding failures are harness issues, not model issues
“So I feel like this always ends up being a tool call, a hardness issue. Then, you know, an actual model issue.”
Awais: Interactive permission prompts degrade coding agent model performance
“If you run any coding agent with permissions on, The models are actually number. And if you run them without, you know, the complete bypass of permissions, they do much better. Even if you like sit through those yes, yes, yes, accept or whatnot, you will see t…”
