### AI overview

The article describes using ChatGPT Work with GPT-6 Astra to generate 5K and 10K running routes from OpenStreetMap data, producing an embedded visualization and downloadable GPX and GeoJSON files. It also criticizes the lack of visibility into the generated Python code and the loss of that code after thread compaction.

### Source excerpt

Here's a neat thing I had ChatGPT Work with GPT-6 Astra (Max) do this morning: I live at <my address>. Figure out 5K and 10K running routes from me that loop from my house. Use OSM data. It worked for 27 minutes and produced exactly what I'd asked for, as both an embedded visualization and downloadable GPX file and GeoJSON files. Here's that 5K route: When I asked it how it had created the route, it replied: I used Nominatim to locate the address and Overpass to download local OpenStreetMap roads and trails, then calculated the loops locally. Frustratingly, the actual code it ran and exact details of what it did weren't visible to me in the ChatGPT UI. I see this lack of transparency is an anti-feature. By the time I thought to ask for a copy of the Python code it had used, ChatGPT was unable to provide it. This appears to be because the thread had been compacted. I think any LLM system that uses compaction needs to both preserve the pre-compacted text and make that text available via agent tool calls, to protect against this kind of problem. As for displaying the map to me, that used the visualize skill. It created a file called /workspace/el-granada-5k-share.html to embed directly into the ChatGPT UI. Here's a copy of that HTML, which starts like this: <div id="eg-share-loop"> <div class="viz-row"><h3>El Granada harbor loop</h3><span class="text-small">5.1 km</span></div> <div id="eg-share-stage"></div> <div class="text-small text-muted">Map data © <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenStreetMap contributors</a></div> <style> #eg-share-loop { width:100%; } #eg-share-loop #eg-share-stage { width:100%; margin:8px 0; } #eg-share-loop .eg-share-map { display:block; width:100%; touch-action:none; } #eg-share-loop .eg-share-map text { fill:var(--foreground); font-size:12px; font-weight:400; } #eg-share-loop .eg-share-label { paint-order:stroke; stroke:var(--background); stroke-width:3px; stroke-linejoin:round; } </style> <s

### AI overview

An opinion article about progressing in a career by creating growth opportunities within a current role. It recommends teaching others, understanding users and systems, improving quality and efficiency, taking responsibility for outcomes, and focusing on work that AI cannot easily automate.

### Source excerpt

When you start a new role, many challenges are placed on you. Once you have been in a role for a while, you may feel like you aren't learning as much, your career isn't progressing, and you wonder what job you might move to next. Having been in that situation many times, my suggestion is that rather than waiting to be given challenges or the next role, you take the opportunity to challenge yourself to grow in your current role. This doesn't mean accepting a role with too little growth, but rather see if there are opportunities to grow while you have some capacity, if you drive them. For example, imagine the roles you would wish to have, how much of that could you be doing now without being asked, possibly in your own time? I am not suggesting doing more unpaid work, rather extending the work you have to benefit your career. Ways to extend your current role to help you grow Teach others. Often, you don't really understand something until you have had to explain it to someone else. Understand the people using your work. Broaden your understanding of the people or systems using what you are producing. How can what you're doing be more efficient, high-quality, more valuable to the end users, and easier to maintain? Take responsibility for a larger part of an outcome. Instead of only producing a piece of work, help define what success means, consider alternatives, check whether it works in practice and learn from what happens afterwards. Say you are working heavily with AI. Explore all the ways it currently fails, rather than sticking to what it does safely. Anything AI does easily now will be increasingly automated, and there probably isn't a future in that. Instead, focus on what AI can't do and where you add value. That is likely to be in demand. Consider two approaches to using AI to write for illustration: 2,000 words of content on a subject (or 200 lines of code @ ~10 words per line). You could prompt it for an answer of about 2,500 words and then edit out anything

### AI overview

This article explains loop engineering as a way to improve AI coding agent reliability. Instead of relying on a single prompt, the system repeatedly generates code, runs it against a real API or other source of truth, verifies the result, and decides whether to stop or continue. The article distinguishes this outer verification loop from the inner ReAct tool-use cycle and presents a reproducible setup for allowing an agent to correct its own mistakes.

### Source excerpt

Stop prompting your AI agent, start looping. A guide to loop engineering: wire a real API call in as the oracle so generated code stops guessing. The post Loop engineering: stop prompting, start looping appeared first on Postman Blog.

### AI overview

The author argues that anxiety and uncertainty are more constructive responses than anger to AI and agents' effects on the technology industry. They discuss concerns about changing professional skills, how productivity gains may be distributed, and tensions between companies and large AI labs.

### Source excerpt

Sean Goedecke wrote a post arguing that you should never be angry at work -- a post with which I strongly agree. Anger can be a useful signal, but being angry at work rarely improves the situation. More often, it makes life worse for the people around you, many of whom have no more power over the source of your anger than you do. I did learn that lesson, but it did not come naturally. One thing in particular that I learned is that in a company there is a shared vision, and if you don't agree with it and are not in a position to change it, you should not start a mutiny, not even a small-scale one. Nothing good comes from that. In the discussion around that topic, one of the most upvoted comments on the Lobsters thread asked a question I had to think about quite a bit: How can you work in tech right now and not be angry? In the context of the thread, this was clearly also about AI and agents. For me, the emotions I would expect in tech vis-a-vis these new developments are disorientation and anxiety, but not anger. Anxiety as an emotion does not require someone to blame. Right now, I find it reasonable to feel anxious about an uncertain future. Who knows what our professions will turn into and what kind of world my kids will find themselves in when they enter the workplace? And if you've been in the industry for a long time, will the skills you've spent years acquiring still matter? But anger is different from anxiety because anger needs to be directed somewhere. The feeling of anger suggests that somebody or something is doing something to you. Who are you going to be angry at and why are you angry in the first place? One narrative that is pretty pervasive is that if AI will usher in productivity gains, those gains are going to benefit companies rather than employees. And well at least someone at Meta wants that. Yet I also find that plenty of people in leadership positions express doubt about AI. They see that an increasing share of their costs is being funneled direc
