      With Biscuit we have a durable execution system where we run the agent harness in the browser, and hand it over to a server when the browser tab closes.

Now someone talked to Biscuit in Slack, and since I had the project open, my browser tab ran the agent harness and answered 😂

      Me, 6 months ago: "I think people are really overemphasizing CLIs now, I like things visual, I need an IDE"

Me, now: I think I can actually uninstall VS Code because I'm not sure when the last time I used it was.

      I wrote this up a bit more formally: csswizardry.com/2026/08/how-...
      How to Find an Exact Gmail Thread with Codex or Claude – CSS WizardryUse Gmail’s Message-ID to point Codex or Claude at one exact email and retrieve the complete conversation rather than a plausible result.

      Harry Roberts

      csswizardry.com
      Instead of asking Codex to look in Gmail for ‘[subject]’ (risky and prone to duplicates or misinterpretation), head to ‘Show original’ and use the RFC 822 `MESSAGE-ID` (from 1982!) to target an exact specific message. From there, it can surface the entire visible thread.

      one of the best prompts i figured out during my series on how to use ai in your job search

'pressure test this as if you were an hiring manager/founder/vp of whatever' 

this uncovered so many amazing insights to my resume on how a profile would view it
