How does it handle context bloat between the browser and the llm?

Any plans of exposing more of the browser? For instance playwright is able to store tracing files the agent may decide to read to understand some requests / payloads…

Any plans on allowing the agent to run an arbitrary js script?

My name is Henrique and here is what chat gpt says about me haha:

As a highly motivated and skilled software engineer, I have a proven track record of developing high-quality software solutions for a diverse range of clients. My strong technical skills, including expertise in a variety of programming languages and frameworks, combined with my ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, make me a valuable asset to any organization looking to innovate and drive business success through technology.

A bit silly but true, I have worked on multiple startups, with multiple stacks, technologies and industries and always exceeded expectations. If you are looking for someone with golang and/or python skills (or would be ok with me learning your specific stack) hit me an email.

I am Senior developer with 8 years of experience, 5 remote, some leadership experience (do not want to lead tho) looking to break into gaming and/or work on interesting problems that are a bit closer to the metal than your "typical SASS".

Extremely good and faster learn with a good track record of jumping into new tech or contexts and performing beyond expectations.

Interesting way to put this data, but it’s outright wrong in most cases in day to day life. The plans most people purchase has much better Data/$ ratio.

And this conclusion is the opposite:

> Because these numbers are based on the least expensive plan, they are best case scenarios.

They are the worst case scenarios at the very least in Brazil where I have purchased such packages

Not why instead of dual boot but why wsl for me.

After more than an year trying to get my laptop (very high dpi) and my monitor (high dpi) to have decent fractional scaling on Linux so that I could use both screens while working comfortably. I decided to try wsl and it is pretty much as fast (with my computer/use case), OS just delivers the problem above, so I am sticking with it...

Main cons for me right now are:

* windows updates been too aggressively

* not able to easily create/edit hot keys

I consider myself a generalist with an ease to learn new things and technologies, very self motivated and disciplined. I have 4 years of a very broad experience: backend (rails/django); frontend(React/Vue); scraping; internal integrations; data warehouse/BI; project management. Of these, 3 years were working remotely.

I am looking mainly for a Backend position for a product in a challenging and interesting field at a small company 20-80 ppl that is remote friendly (ideally remote first). I am completely agnostic to the tech stack and will easily adapt to it.

I currently reside in Brazil which have a good timezone overlap both with Europe and US.

OS X is def not a must, I don't think I could get everything I would ideally like but those are just the things on my mind right now.

That's exactly how I do with my work day. 2-hours / lunch / 4-hours / stop working or anything else less demanding

I have recently started working remotely and dealing with my own productivity as opposed to have some expectations of work hours has been an interesting challenge.

Since I log my own hours I became full aware of this 6 hours "ceiling" in the long term, for a few days I could work for many more hours, but that would have a big price to pay in future productivity. In the beginning I felt bad, as if I was not able to produce as much as other people leading to a lot of anxiety. As I realized that my actual productivity was going up, compared to my older self and other peers, I embraced it.

Now I work 6 productive hours and to me that's 8 hours of work, my results are better month by month, my quality of life is better and my anxiety is more controlled. Everybody wins.

This also opens space for people from different backgrounds (degrees).

In most cases you are not looking for the people with the most level of CS knowledge, but rather someone that can think logically, that learns/ramps fast and have at least some explanation, even if wrong, for his choices and is able to take the observations/review as a learning opportunity.

Besides what you said of knowing what to do and the decisions part of the work there is one other thing, that at least for me, is(was) the culprit of most of my tiredness and irritability over the last year.

Changing contexts fast whilst taking decisions on these different contexts.

I was the only tech guy in this startup and I would handle basically everything on the tech side, working daily in three different languages and various "services". After a while as long as I had planned what I had to do for the day/week things were fine, but somedays I might be tackling this hard backend problem and I get asked to fix a frontend bug right now, I fix the bug, deploy it and go back to the backend stuff, couple hours later, I get a technical support call, again I must stop what I am doing to fix whatever needs to be fixed.

So, this thing of going back and forth between the areas in which I was responsible for would really take it's toll on my work, not necessarily in my productivity/hour, but in the amount of hours really worked, amount of sleep needed(which I found quite curious) and the chance of having some small anxiety crisis(which is something I kinda have to coupe with).

What you complained was exactly what I would complain about Spotify's suggestions some time ago.

But as of, 3-6 months ago those daily mixes started putting some really interesting new songs that I wouldn't find otherwise. Sometimes it seems to go back to that "safe zone" but it's been such a much better experience I have been telling all my friends to try it.

I really would like to know more about their process to improve the recommendation system.
