I’m missing something. What’s the incentive for people to pay to upvote or comment?

Paste from markdown (Chrome only) works _really_ well for me. What are the extra steps you’re running into?

After reading a comment here about how google docs had awesome markdown handling (I didn't know it supported it at all) I tried it out and it was bad to the extent that I don't think I'll use it again. I can't remember everything, but for instance it kept the syntactic newlines that should be swallowed during rich text conversion and IIRC it had issues with code too.

And then you have to edit it thereafter with their WYSIWYG editor. I was hoping there was an actual "markdown mode" where I could avoid getting into wars about whether this bullet point is in a new list or part of the previous list, etc.

IIRC there's no way to get markdown back out either, once you've realized you made the wrong choice.

Interesting, in my Arc browser, I just tried File -> open -> upload -> blah.md and it does seem to render fine. This exact thing did not work a few weeks ago, meaning the various header markers etc showed up as raw "##" etc, and I had to further select something like "open as new doc" to finally make it look good.

Right click > "Paste from Markdown" instead of just straight up pasting in

Images wouldn't work though, right? I'd be amazed if that worked. My CLI tools handle those.

Obsidian has become almost an operating system for working with markdown. Its Live View / Edit mode is excellent (WYSIWYG) and its ability to accept pasted content and handle it appropriately is good and getting better. Its plugin/extension ecosystem is robust (and has a low barrier to entry), and now that it has a CLI I expect to see an acceleration of clever workflows and integrations.

No affiliation, just a very happy ~early adopter and daily user.

BUT the main supported sync module is cloud only they wont let you self host for free which is really shitty and lame.

Wow, that's a strong opinion and harsh words that come across as really entitled, and probably unfair. From my PoV, they're a tiny, scrappy, transparent and likeable company who built and maintain a fantastic software application that radically improved ~everything about my daily workflow and PKM. I get more value out of Obsidian in a day than most other apps in their entire lifespan. The core app is free! They have to eat. I'd probably throw $ at them even if they didn't charge a few bucks / month for Sync. (Which works flawlessly.) Sure it'd be cool if you could self-host their Sync module -- but many Obsidian users use other DIY approaches for sync; in the end it's markdown files on a local disk, do with it what you will.

git + cron

I’m intrigued by their recent CLI release as well. I’ll have to check out the markdown edit support too, thanks

The headline misrepresents the source. It’s not the title of the page, not the point of the content, and biases the quote’s context: “ if traditional software delivery best practices aren’t already in place, this velocity multiplier becomes a debt accelerator”

IMHO, it doesn't, but I have changed the title to avoid any confusion.

When there’s a gold rush, sell shovels.

The point is that there's no gold. It's just a shovel rush.

It very much depends on the product. In my experience, Copilot has terrible signal noise. But Bugbot is incredible. Very little noise and it consistently finds things the very experienced humans on my team didn’t.

I’m probably missing it, but I don’t see how you can share skills across agents, other than maybe symlinking .claude/skills and .codex/skills to the same place?

Nothing super-fancy. We have a common GitHub repo in our org for skills, and everyone checks out the repo into their preferred setup locally.

(To clarify, I meant that some engineers mostly use CC while others mostly use Codex, as opposed to engineers using both at the same time.)

Codex 5.2 automatically picked up my claude agents' skills. Didn't prompt for it, it just so happened that what I asked it for, one of claude's agents' prompts was useful, so Codex ran with it.

I don’t know what this is and Google isn’t finding anything. Can you clarify?

Cloud only. My employer is still on an ancient data center version. But you can easily write a cli that wraps the REST API.

As-is Gemini CLI and Codex. I run my CLIs in VSC and only using it as a file browser.

They will do it with needlessly complexity that is out of step with the competition, as they did with slash commands (toml) and extensions (skills-equivalent).
