    It's trivial to try another agent. You can spend $20 for a monthly subscription and ask it to import all your settings from Claude Code.

    I use Julia! I like it a lot, and add type parameters to all application code. But JET.jl does not feel anywhere close to the assurances I can get from a statically typed language …

    What statically typed language would you suggest for machine learning and large data pipelines? I don't love Python, but it has by far the largest ecosystem.

    Every interview method has some glaring flaws, and I find you mostly have a choice of which flaws you pick. On my current team, I care a lot about the ability to write fast code. T…

    I'm a fairly moderate user, never hit any kind of usage limits, but I used 44 million cache create tokens and 1.5 billion cache read tokens, which ccusage estimates would have cost…

    Not OP, but Dario said on Dwarkesh's podcast 3 months ago that their gross margins are "significantly higher than 50%"

    Run rate is annualized revenue based on some recent period, e.g. taking the last month of revenue and multiplying by 12. Revenue (classic) is a historical measure, e.g. revenue in …

    Julia does this – you generally write synchronous, single-threaded functions most of the time, and can use code like `t = @spawn foo(b)` to get a Task, and then `output = fetch(t)`…

    I usually aim to have Claude end up with about 500 lines of code after a night of work. Most of what it's doing is experimenting with many different approaches, summarizing them, a…

    The context window has nothing to do with RAM usage and even if it did, a million tokens of context is maybe 5mb.

    Yes, I've pretty much used Opus exclusively for the last year, except for a brief period when Sonnet was ahead

    I've never actually run into the issues that people talk about online, like Claude suddenly getting dumb or running out of usage. So there's just not a lot of incentive for me to s…

    Re: REPL use, you just use it to run code and look at results. e.g. for TDD – you can modify your code files normally in the IDE, changes get picked up by revise, and then you re-r…

    It's definitely closer to matlab than python, but it's closer to python than most mainstream programming languages. I ported ~20k lines of python code to Julia over a couple years …

    Well, my workflow uses Revise.jl. I develop either in Jupyter notebooks or in the REPL, prototyping code there and then moving functions to files when they're ready. In that contex…

    Yes, with unlimited development time I would expect C++ solutions to be as fast or faster. But Julia hits a really nice combination of development speed and performance that I have…

    This is 7 years old. Julia is a totally different language by now. As a quick anecdote, in our take-home interview exercise, we usually receive answers in C++ or Julia, and the two…

    I actually do this, but that's mostly because our team reviewed all the existing autoformatters for the relatively obscure language we use, and either really hated the formatting o…

    jj has almost 30,000 stars on github. You might not be looking for a different git ux, but plenty of people are!

    Are you aware that you can use tmux (or zellij, etc.), spin up the interpreter in a tmux session, and then the LLM can interact with it perfectly normally by using send-keys? And t…

    It's totally compatible though, and that's a big selling point. I use jj and nobody else at my work uses it and that has never been an issue.

    I use a REPL in tmux. That lets Claude code read/write to it easily, as well as letting me take manual control to investigate.
