They are more deterministic and (theoretically) more token efficient If anything I think we should be evolving these scripts so they can execute in one shot via flags cause the multistep flows are error prone for agents and cost everyone unneeded rounds of tool calling imo [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 May 2026 16:31 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmcdeorxvc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3mlys27zw322bDesign systems are one the hardest problems in software (tm) 🥲 [contains quote post or other embedded content]16 May 2026 21:27 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlys27zw322bhttps://bsky.app/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3mljopk24vc26A year of work later and we can finally tie a bow on this series of web component perf threads. I built a fully declarative, compile-time reactive framework on web components. In the latest JS Framework Benchmark, Roqa is the 2nd fastest (unflagged) – beating Ripple, Vue Vapor, Solid & Svelte. 🏎️💨 [contains quote post or other embedded content]10 May 2026 21:18 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljopk24vc26https://bsky.app/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3mkvzstowq22tLast year I prototyped a feature in VS Code where your entire chat thread was editable, meaning you could edit mistakes, cut out bad context, etc. It was fun to play with but from my experience it was kind of a wash for improving performance. Most of the time starting a fresh chat was better.

I saw this post saying there's a 10+ year vision for it, but haven't been able to find more info Also super curious how the PDS work plays into this vision as well -- something I wouldn't expect from an alt NPM client [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Feb 2026 20:25 +0000at://did:plc:fxipo3ogt5nrxjddervd4hxa/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfpjbhz5g226https://bsky.app/profile/hawkticehurst.com/post/3mehrb4flvc2jYeah!

I would have never considered even attempting this before.
