What recent Homebrew news and sponsor announcements start the episode?
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Coder Radio. It's Mike as always, and yeah, just a little bit of news items. Fable's back, so that was a lot of much ado about nothing. If you're on an Anthropic, I think it's Pro or Max plan, you have half your, I guess, token allotment, right? A lot of people are going back and forth, whether it's been nerfed or not, I don't know. That's really, you know, not a something I want to wade into right now. But it's interesting. Seems like there was a lot of drama. It also seems like competition worked. ChatGPT releasing 5.6 Sol. Sol as in the sun. S-O-L. Really did seem to put the pressure on them. So, yay competition. Means you get more stuff. I know people have lots of gripes, but that's better than nothing.
Speaking of AI coding, I want to announce we have a new sponsor, Warp. You know, Warp from warp.dev. Ben and Zach have been on here from there. We're doing a community collab Apache 2 project on GitHub, link in the show notes, called Coder Conduit. It's a joint community project and a live sandbox of collaboration between Coder Radio and Warp, the goal of which is to demonstrate how software factories can help to drive community-driven open-source projects. So we're going to be talking a lot about software factories in the next three-ish episodes. The whole idea, just giving you a rundown, and do check out the GitHub repo because you guys can contribute. There's a slight contribution notice, code of conduct, basic stuff, right?
Be nice. The triage tech, these are all the agents we're going to have. It's a diagnostic agent. So when a new issue is created, the agent reads the description and categorizes it. Is it a bug enhancement? A new request? If the context is missing, it'll actually go back and ask the submitter. So these are all issues on GitHub itself for details. The coder, pretty simple implementation agent. Looks at issues the triage agents have been tagged ready to implement via GitHub legal. Then it generates code and submits a PR. Pretty cool, right? Staff engineer, planning agent. Exactly what it sounds like on the 10. We tried to make this really simple. It's for tackling larger feature requests using a spec-driven development approach.
So it generates a comprehensive plan that the coder agent can implement. The code critic, basically PR reviews. I don't think I need to explain that too much. The architect, running on a scheduled cron. This proactive agent scans the repository for technical debt. so this would be things like you know we're gonna have multiple people submitting pull requests is there redundancies could something be extracted out you know are we string using magic strings everywhere or something like that right so go ahead and contribute again this is sponsored by warp you can also do check out warp they have a lot of new things they've implemented actually i gotta get back with them in the warp app that's my terminal of choice
and check it out oh then though and they have all the latest models they're very excited about that they have fable they have uh they really have everything in fact you can basically run more than just the core let's say anthropic and chat gpt models you can run excuse me open ai models you can run list is too long for me to go into but i i've been playing around with a little bit of the alternatives just to diversify my own implementations you know as we all explore this a little more and it's an interesting little catch that i don't think people people get too much so yeah check it out this is all the kind of thing that they're talking about with their software factory they've got some good blog posts about it and that github link is in the show notes
All right. One more thing. So we are rocking and rolling our way out of the summer, which this boring middle-aged dad says, oh, thank God. It's been just a terrible summer, really hot, sticky, humid. But I'm wondering, and I do have a request, you students out there in Coderland here, what are you looking for for back to school?
