    Your experience is night-and-day from mine. Both myself and the AI correct and remove each other's gaps in understanding. There is never what I would call arguing. Disagreements ar…

    The hacky string matching is what I started with, but there was always new ghost text. I turned suggested prompts off which helped, but idle hooks plus ensuring the terminal doesn'…

    I have a more primitive setup where I use Gemini, Claude, and Codex at the same time and cultivate expert contexts. Each of them lives in their own tmux session so they can read ea…

    A bunch of links open a hardcoded browser (like help links within Visual Studio). Executives have OKRs to meet.

    I find that when an LLM jumps into tasks it was not told to do (or even worse, doing things it was explicitly told not to), it is a good sign the context is too full, and you shoul…

    I have an optane and lots of ram, so I tried full-fat models for writing some function overnight, as I get about 0.7 t/s. My current go-to test is to update a scalar function to tr…

    I think its common to develop an adversarial-collaborative approach to getting some semblance of quality out of AI. I personally favour using multiple models for different roles, h…

    Code review is the main thing I use LLMs for. I have found it to be remarkably candid when you tell it the code came from another LLM (even name it). I was running Kimi K2.6 Q4 loc…

    If you don't exclude your build folders from the scan it will slow everything down tremendously.

    Don't legitimate IQ tests top out at 160 for adults?

    Do investors ever say "ok, time to panic"? Aren't they always just going to shill their bags? Why should we listen to them?
