This post's title is wildly misleading - mods should correct it. While the GitHub project is called "claude brain", it is not published by Anthropic and the repo is a thin wrapper …

Oh also note that this isn't a free OR open-source tool. It's a wrapper round a ludicrously priced service: https://memvid.com/pricing Which is why the repo says "Written in Rust" …

Seems like vibe coded garbage, as well as being irrelevant given the latest Claude Code features, which includes a memory file.

I self-host OpenProject - free and a little better than Jira.

This is part of the reason deployments to production cloud environments should: 1. Only be allowed via CI/CD 2. All infra should be defined as code 3. Any deployment to production …

Doesn't require Jira but yes, specification-first is the way to get better (albeit still not reliably good) results out of AI tools. Some people may call this "design-first" or "ar…

What complete nonsense. Professional bodies don't mandate fads. Get a grip.

Sadly, probably true.

Equating gatekeeping of professional bodies with grifting suggests you have no experience of why we have professional bodies in medicine or accountancy or civil engineering (to giv…

Professional bodies are a necessary form of gatekeeping for practicing the craft of software engineering professionally. You are then bringing a whole host of other issues that are…

> We should blame them for misleading marketing.

Particularly ironic for a doctor to have done this, given all the complaints about patients using Google (even pre-AI)!

Totally agree - not just medical software either. See replies to my other comment threads. Software engineers really don’t like the idea that they might have to show they can perfo…

One of the key functions of a professional body is to ensure all members are aware of existing and new laws, standards and codes of practice. And to ensure different grades of engi…

There’s a reason why many professions have professional bodies and consolidated standards - from medicine to accountancy, actuarial work, civil engineering, aerospace, electronic a…

We don’t blame companies selling 3D Design software or 3D printers or mortar and cement, or graph paper and pencils. When people abuse those tools and build huts or houses or bridg…

Software engineering is looking more and more like it needs a professional body in each country, and accreditation and standards. Ie it needs to grow up and become like every other…

Software != Linux Mainline. Software exists from the vendor, but it’s not open source and/or not part of Linux mainline. Hence the effort to develop an open source (and mainlined) …

Yep, you responded exactly as expected. Well done. Enjoy your bubble.

You need to travel more.

So why do they need to use helicopters and a risky airlift to return the astronauts to the main vessel? Why not just use the speedboats to take them back? Seems really odd and I ca…

Notwithstanding that this mission critically relied upon Canada, UK, EU, Japan, Taiwan, and contributions from many other countries.

Random bit flips due to radiation are infrequent - the stat is something like one but flip per megabyte per 40,000 data centre RAM modules per year - ie extremely uncommon, but com…

They’re not mission-critical equipment. If they fail, nobody dies. They’re not radiation hardened, so given enough time, they’d be expected to fail. Rebooting them might clear the …
