    FWIW I've only ever been on the API based plan at work and we never seem to run into the majority of the problems people seem to be very vocal about. Outages still affect us, and w…

    Do your markdown files have frontmatter configuration?

    We use them extensively in our agent framework at work for all sort of things. You can make up whatever you want, if the tags are semantic enough it just gets it, or you can add a …

    We've done varying forms of this to differing degrees of success at work. Dynamic, on-the-fly generation & execution is definitely fascinating to watch in a sandbox, but is far to …

    Probably less sensible than you think. How many terms would they need to do this over? How many terms would they need to do it for _at once_? How many tokens would that add to ever…

    Thank you for saying this out loud. I've been losing my mind wondering where the discussion on this was. LLMs without Tool Use/Function Calling is basically a non starter for anyth…

    What do you find difficult about distilling your own prompts? After any back and forth session I have reasonably good results asking something like "Given this workflow, how could …

    I believe if you read carefully, it's not blocked, it's rate limited to once daily, with very clear remediation steps included in the response.

    We had a version of Bomberman that was written in some version of BASIC in high school (maybe QBasic?). It was great because we could hack on it to modify the game and immediately …

    Other people have said it in this thread, but I think your experience is being severely clouded by Oracle. Postgres, MySql, and all have the `TEXT` datatype which are variable leng…

    Thanks for this, I"d been meaning to work up the energy to deal with their retention ops, but this was super easy. For anyone else looking to do this, the trick is to choose "Other…

    I feel like your perspective might be more narrow than you think it is. I've been coding professionally for 20 years and at every job I've ever had we've made the decision to move …

    What sort of platonic ideal project do you work on that the majority of SQL you write doesn't need dynamic WHERE clauses? You're positing a majority use case I haven't encountered …
