Yeah that makes sense. People will be often more polite when they realise there is a real human on the other side. But I was referring more to the initial use of strong words comin…

I’m developing three codebases right now where all of the code is written by AI (Swift, Python, Rust) and the Rust codebase requires the least pruning and has the fewest wtf moment…

I feel really bad for the sense of entitlement a lot of open source devs have to deal with. Imagine building something for free as a hobby then having to deal a mob of angry people…

So I've been working on a few projects with LLM assistance and I've been slowly building up a knowledge base for that project. It started as a series of chats with various LLMs tha…

To be honest Copilot really stinks and is really far from the sharp edge of what is possible these days.

I regularly get codex to do multi hour tasks with a single prompts I don't think thats a big deal anymore. But you don't want a single agent doing all the work. The root agent need…

thanks for the tip will check it out!

I've been building on top of shuttle.dev and I was about to finally deploy a beta of my backend when I realised that Shuttle closed down in January. The Shuttle.dev page recommends…

you don't think kids should play sports? that seems like an unusual view and am kind of curious why you would think that.

If you make iOS apps you can also set up an Xcode Cloud pipeline so the result gets pushed to your phone via TestFlight.

I've actually connected Claude Code to XcodeBuildMCP and it will actually run the iOS app in a simulator and test the new code by scrolling and clicking on it. It's pretty cool to …

>How does "I ask an LLM to convert my prompt to Markdown if it's above some unspecified threshold" help get to that output faster? Honestly it's just a hunch that asking the LLM to…

>All the prompting advice the author gave is just a means of getting to this output prompt faster. Yeah that's exactly it. Instead of modifying my prompt repeatedly myself until I …

>Do they cite any hard facts? Any actual science? Real statistics? I guess I could do those things, but I'd rather work on my game. I only posted that because the person I responde…

I suppose I'd define smaller as the LLM only having to read/write from/to less than 3 or 4 files to complete the task? I try to keep file sizes as small as possible so the LLM's do…

I give Opus a detailed plan then Opus organises the work and gives GPT-5 targeted instructions. Opus then might make minor edits to GPT-5's code. They sort of pair program together…

>Why create prompts by LLM at all? Presumably you have to start with inputting what you want to happen, so why pass it through two LLMs instead of one? The reason for doing this is…

Thanks for the reminder! It’s very likely I read that post as a teenager.

I always liked Stardock; if had to use Windows I'd definitely just get all their UI mods out of the nostalgia factor.

Yeah it is a bit isn't it

I loved OS/2 but I also remember the dreaded single input queue... but it didn't stop me using it until about 2000 when I realised it was time to move on.

>I thought these tools are so great, so awesome, that even without much experience they will help you? I never made that claim, I don't think it's generally true, but I do think it…

I think that in that study all but one of the devs had hardly any experience with using AI tools.

I find that X and Discord are more useful than HN for trying to keep up to date. Which is a shame I think but it is what it is.

One side effect of writing most of my code with an llm for the past six months is that I'm so much better at reading code I didn't write. It's also forced me to split my code up in…
