    There was a great article awhile back that shed some light on just how dysfunctional azure is as a platform: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47616242 If I had to guess it's be…

    Hey HN, recent hype around the ASD-STE100 standard inspired me to think about a more deterministic way to lint my agent's prose. This vale style is inspired by the english standard…

    So let me get this straight, in this article we have: - One guy selling shovels (AI “tools”) to clueless people - Another guy who started and then folded his business in two months…

    Does this actually work for you? I've tried adding rules in my user profile as well as adding instruction in my CLAUDE.md but my models always eventually go off the rails and start…

    It’s the pineapple on pizza of ops, people just like to fit in sometimes. I’ve been running my own personal k8s cluster on digital ocean for the last 5+ years now and it’s dead sim…

    There’s got to be more to this story, what exactly were you up to with these models?

    Ok long time Claude Code user here; lately I've started to realize there's other great models out there I should be trying, but I'm hesitant to leave Claude Code behind for somethi…

    Both very fair observations. > Whether this mode of working is going to be long-term viable is going to depend on how important it is for you to be aware of what has happened for t…

    Does Joel still disagree today? Worth noting that this article is 25 years old. The world was very very different back then, especially when it comes to software engineering. Conte…

    I used the chrome MCP to profile a slow react page at my company, set a /goal and had it iterate until it achieved under 100ms responsiveness to actions. Claude was able to identif…

    6.x feels much more efficient with respect to token usage to be fair. I picked up superpowers back when it first started gaining traction; the first iteration felt like an “oh shit…

    We switched our very large Django monolith codebase over to ty — the trick for us was generating stubs for Django models and having tooling keep those stubs in sync with the actual…

    I imagine Kernel development is quite difficult, as might be designing infrastructure that can handle 10K+ RPS. I don't quite understand why you're being so passive aggressive, thi…

    It was never about the code. After spending the last 5 years building software for venture capital and private equity, this blog post really resonates with me. Writing code is by a…

    Tested this out on a 5x max plan, turns out I spun up 62 Opus 4.8 1M sub-agents for my dynamic workflow and maxed out my ~5hr cap in..... 18 minutes? Oops, but probably good to kno…

    Self-edit: a couple thousand session hours is probably hyperbolic; it's likely closer to a thousand after discussing usage with another user in a separate thread. Maybe a better me…
