Going live now — mosh coding at 1:45am

That code is for this session. If you are reading this later and the room is empty, the<br>durable link is @moshcoding — that is where<br>every session goes up, and it will tell you whether I am on right now.
What you are walking into
It is a mosh coding session: me and moshcode, my own agentic coding CLI, working through<br>whatever is actually on the list tonight. Real repositories, real failing tests, real dead ends. Not a<br>tutorial, and not a rehearsed demo where the agent mysteriously one-shots everything.
The interesting part of agentic coding is not the moment the model writes the function. It is<br>everything around it — how you frame the task, what you let it run unsupervised, where you<br>stop it, and how you tell a confident wrong answer from a correct one before you merge it. That<br>is most of what you will see me doing.
Come in and talk. Ask why I did something the hard way. Tell me the approach is wrong —<br>that one is usually the most useful thing anybody says all night.
Why this hour
Because it is quiet, and because agentic work rewards uninterrupted stretches more than almost<br>anything else I do. An agent running a long task and a human with nothing to context-switch into<br>are a good pairing. The rest of the calendar is not built for that; 1:45am is.
If that is your hour too, the room is open.
