Because you have to sync it between the different people interacting with it.

And so there are a couple of specific best practices for how you set it up that make it fairly simple and make it fairly unlikely that there are any problems.

And Codex just actually doesn't know about those, which was surprising to me because it's like a fairly popular library.

And what I would normally do for any sort of production project is like,

when i'm in the plan mode i'm like hey like can you can you figure out how to uh can you figure out all the best practices for this and i didn't do that that's smart though that's actually a really good idea yeah that's a really good tip for people like when you're planning with your with your agent in the beginning stage like make sure that it's like okay look up you know the best way to do this um because otherwise it'll just riff i guess exactly and we have a plug-in that we make at every called um the compound engineering plugin

Yes.

That has a plan mode that's really good, really rigorous.

Kieran, who's the GM of Quora, who made it, is amazing.

And the workflow that he invented is, I think, incredible.

So I should have done that, but I didn't.

And so what started to happen was we would start to have problems, and I'd be like, okay, here's the bug.

And it would go off and research it and then fix it.

But the fix was always a sort of duct tape thing.

because it didn't want to go like solve the like really deep underlying thing because the site was going down and whatever and it maybe sounds like what a human would do exactly and it depends on the human but yes uh something that's really what i would do um um

And so basically like that just kept happening.

And so it kept duct taping and putting little guards and checks and like all this stuff here.

And as a site started to go down, the complexity started to go up and each fix like would kind of fix it, but then kind of make it worse.

And

I had a couple of experts look at this over the last couple of weeks because one of the fun things about doing this stuff so publicly is when you tweet and you're like, hey, my thing is down.

People who have a lot of experience with YGS come out of the woodwork and be like, hey, I could take a look.
