I tried Fedora Silverblue and I found its notion/implementation of immutability fairly frustrating. It’s actually the reason I went to nixOS. It seemed to me that it was all the fr…

What alternative have you moved on to?

Revenue, data, and stamina.

I was an early and passionate adopter and paying customer of Cursor (since 2023!), but it’s probably been 6 months since I opened it. These days I “write” code with claude code and…

I simply do not believe the switching costs are high enough that they could eliminate those plans. The Chinese models will eat their lunch.

Right, it's about how much time the human spent - the time spent by the machine itself is irrelevant. As you rightly point out: that is why we measure programmer experience by wall…

No, it wouldn’t. The hours in question are human experience, not that of the agent.

Sun Tzu said: if you scrape your enemy, call it training; if your enemy scrapes you, call it an attack.

You have hundreds of hours with a model that was barely even released hundreds of hours ago? The perception of capability varies greatly between task. For my needs for example sol …

No. I used to use Cursor, but now my workflow is that I use an inhouse CLI tool I wrote called "bud" that wraps/seeds the harnesses per-worktree, and boots a full copy of the game …

Indeed, much of the scariness is how fearlessly and confidently it writes them with little regard to their actual usefulness or value. When I find it adding a lot of tests, I often…

Like before AI, the scrutiny varies with the sensitivity of the area being edited. Simple UI change? I do an AI review, but otherwise neither read nor write the code. The models ar…

In terms of ability to ship? Easily tenfold. We literally ship 10 times more than before AI. This does not, however, translate into a tenfold increase in actual business success, o…

Claude Code fan here... Codex is very good. Sometimes better. The killer feature is price. After 6+ months of exclusive Claude Code usage, I was begrudgingly forced to try Codex on…

I've been doing this for ages - you just spin up harness B as a subprocess/tool call from harness A. For example, I had a "/codex-review" claude skill for ages that did exactly tha…

This makes me think they really are quite capacity constrained at the moment. I had assumed they were primarily limiting it to entice people to upgrade, but I feel like these limit…

I'm not sure I follow - 614 GB/sec is pretty squarely in dGPU territory (~5070 level). External GPUs can definitely exceed that on the very high end, but it seems pretty competitiv…

For sure, on paper - I'm curious, do you actually notice that difference in your day-to-day? I struggle to think of times in my usage of my computer where I think "this feels slow"…

You're arguing against a point I did not make. I observed that Cloudflare prioritizes expanding to new products over making improvements to existing ones. I did not claim they do n…

I'm confused why you would replace your 16" M1 Pro with a 15" M5 Air... on which axes is that an upgrade over your M1 Pro?

What would be the bottleneck?

My hardware isn't powerful enough to try, so I'm asking out of genuine curiosity, not to push back: what do you use DS4 for? Did it replace e.g Claude Code with Opus for you, or wa…

The point you’re making is that AI is an intrinsically bad technology, but that does not follow from this news story, which merely evidences that AI is in demand and supply has not…

Who exactly is “coordinating” that effort? Surely everyone except the datacenter builders and the big hosted AI models has exactly the opposite incentive.

That’s exactly the point. Wrangler, being cloudflare’s primary CLI tool, is a microcosm of exactly the problem GP was articulating: it’s focused way more on adding new commands tha…
