I've been experimenting with #eca on #emacs and managed to make a start on one of my TODO's which was make a useful #gnus #transient interface for me. It did have some trouble as I had to keep reporting runtime failures for fixing. But you can help by exposing tools to the LLM and giving more context: https://github.com/stsquad/my-emacs-stuff/commit/2719f81ffe3cd7a9e5d757ab593712b3f669c15f

Anyway the result is serviceable although I do need to give it a human pass: https://github.com/stsquad/my-emacs-stuff/blob/f18e388f055ae3fdd89f90c424857a36da9ada74/my-gnus.el

With Drupal 11.3 out, we've been excited to try it out -- but kept hitting circular dependency errors blocking updates. Each site had a different dependency chain, but all of them ended up with eca_content depending on itself!

Today I took this into a debugger to discover the actual cause - symfony_mailer module, which showed up nowhere in any of the errors. https://www.drupal.org/project/symfony_mailer/issues/3564298

Turns out it's fixed in 2.x beta already, if anyone else hits this! #drupal #eca

This is a pretty good example to demonstrate why people are often shocked at the inference cost of #vibe #coding tools. I've been playing with #eca in #emacs and gave an 81 word prompt. This results in 4433 words of internal "thought" before invoking the tools. And it still wasn't quite right: https://gist.github.com/stsquad/af008d6d0d2923f4e8cc361ce80f0951
