I see the opposite pattern here (Pittsburgh, PA). The homes with trampolines that I have seen end up being a magnet for the neighborhood kids and become a social scene of sorts. Wh…

10-100x faster? Maybe for strictly IO bound applications - but if you are building a web app you won't see that performance as network latency dominates.

I don't understand the point of writing and sharing this. Don't want to use a service anymore? Fine, stop using it and move to something else. But why publish something that you kn…

Take me with you, please.

Both of these can be true. And I'm sorry to nitpick - but "People who rely on AI are the ones who will be left behind" is NOT the opposite of "People who don't use AI will be left …

I had used Anki for a few years but recently migrated all my cards out of it and into a custom app I built just a few months ago. It is as an Elixir/Phoenix app with a simple UI bu…

I have it installed on an extra macbook pro that I had available. I'm really only using it at the moment for one use case: Nightly, I have OpenClaw pull the latest changes from a p…

Also blocks magnets.

This might just be the single most worthless, non-sensical post that I've read in my twelve years of using HN. Congratulations.

Besides the setting of the sewers, the timer is really the ONLY aspect of the original game that I remember!

Very nice and I just did the exact same thing recently! When I was in first or second grade (circa 1982) our family got a TRS-80 Model 3 and I started learning BASIC on it. I built…

Lost me at "React is a Framework" assertion. The key difference between a "framework" and a "library" is the inversion of control that exists in a framework. React is a library - y…

Wow this hits home - I just turned 51 and I also started coding at age 7, writing BASIC on a TRS-80 Model III. I still have a very distinct memory when my father told me he was buy…

This is a strange take. So just because we now have "automated programming" agents, every project should eschew the use of a known, tested set of libraries or an entire framework a…

Good luck.

This is great that Codex CLI is adding skills - but it would be far more useful if the CLI looked first in the project (the directory where I've launched codex) `.codex/skills` dir…

I've been developing full-time in Elixir / Phoenix for the last 6 years. I can assure you, momentum in the ecosystem has not slowed at all since the language was declared to be "fe…

Tough question. Honestly I'll have to think about it a bit. I'll post a follow up comment shortly.

Wow, I didn't realize at first this is Edward Packard - of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" book series fame. CYOA were the first real series of books that I got into and devoured, …

It isn't quite the same. The Claude Code action can be easily integrated into a workflow to fire automatically (like when a PR is opened). The Codex support at the moment requires …

So I have all kinds of problems with this post. First, the assertion that the best model of "AI coding" is that it is a compiler. Compilers deterministically map a formal language …

Why would "not using embeddings" be a selling point? Some of the most effective IR systems use embeddings (bi-encoders, cross-encoders)

I'm only three weeks into using Claude Code but I'm now seeing impressive results using a structured, "role" or "persona" based approach in a large (500K+ SLOC) Elixir / Phoenix co…

Agreed. I only started using Claude Code about a week and a half ago and I'm blown away by how productive I can be with it.
