    commits are local, so they're okay to me, I draw the line at pushing them... I either want to check its work while it's working, or let it finish and then check it all at once -> i…

    I never want Claude or any AI to post messages as myself..., if I'd wanted Claude to send a message to Slack, I'd want him to identify as Claude, or use some bot token, where it's …

    Honestly, the worst thing about App Store rating system is that the ratings and reviews users see are country specific. So if you are in a small country and you try to use an app t…

    Apps can only show you the Apple's dialog for rating three times a year. Many apps first show you their own popup/dialog asking stuff like "Do you like this app?" and only if you c…

    washing is okay but dropping it in a pool destroyed my charging port on iPhone 14... the phone kept working and was rechargeable wirelessly though...

    my first apple watch (6th gen) died when I was using it on a water slide ending in a pool on a holiday... since then I'm wary of using it in water...

    So much this. When coding I use my LLM to hone the code to perfection before sending it to review, including running AI reviews on it multiple times and fixing obvious bugs so that…

    How LLM usage affects your thinking process entirely depends on the workflow you use with them. I can honestly say that while using LLM my thoughts are as sharp and as fast as they…

    I have one like that and so do my parents. But they're much less effective than classic split AC with an outside unit. A regular split can cool a bigger room to 24 even when it's 3…

    It's not that expensive. There are other reasons why people can't install one in Europe than money. Mostly for people living in apartments. In an apartment building you need the ap…

    my guess is that the outdoor AC unit reached its maximum working temperature... since we're not that used to extreme heat in EU, units with max working temperatures of 45 degrees C…

    the sentiment "AI couldn't code last year, but now I use it for everything!" rings true for me... but I didn't flip cause AI is now better than me... I flipped cause now I am faste…

    Majority of the things I've mentioned don't need QA. Improving performance of an existing code is fine as long as it passes the existing test suite. Dev tooling / Monitoring is for…

    I probably spend even more than 20% of my time away from the computer these days. AI is great for this. I task Claude with something and while it's working I have the time to think…

    I love having no task assigned. Means I finally have time to do code maintenance. Upgrading dependencies, fixing bugs (there are always some), clearing TODOs left in code, improvin…

    We have 257 python dependencies in our production app (over half of them are direct dependencies). We don't have any upper bounds in our pyproject.toml and we just run `uv lock --u…

    Different countries use different definitions of what "small business" or "micro business" is. And people usually use their own local expectations they're used to. I'm not from the…

    The difference with AI is that now generating AI slop is much faster than carefully crafted code. So companies began to prefer AI slop.

    Also this doesn't just mean more disk space usage, but also longer local build times... for the app I'm working on `exporting to image` takes 71.5 seconds with containerd, without …

    Depends on the complexity of the task. That's what I tried to hint at by also mentioning college-level math. For the high-school level tasks yeah, couple of hours and I'd be as fas…

    What the actual fuck? Customers' expectations shouldn't matter at all if the things they expect is illegal. And this is already a solved problem. The city I live in (Bratislava, Sl…

    > Knowledge comes basically from manual trial/error almost daily. This is the important statement, although I'd swap the word "knowledge" for "experience" here. You can gain "knowl…

    Multiplication is elementary school math which doesn't require any thinking and the learned approach is simple. You can't really compare the simple stuff that's taught to kids, lik…

    For me AI mostly reduces time effort. AI types code faster than I do, looks up stuff on the internet faster than I do, debugs faster than I do, but doing those never required much …

    I hear sentiments about farming from lots of burnout software developers. I always wonder what made them become developers at all. Cause my primary motivation for selecting a job w…
