You’re missing the point, it’s about those tools drastically improving context window management. When you want to tackle large refactors, Claude Code will blow tens of thousands o…

This is 180 degrees from teams I have been on some years ago - everyone took pride in being thick skinned and detaching their ego from PR reviews. Seems to be a generational thing

sincerely hope this is sarcasm

Absolutely feel the same way. I have been writing software professionally for over 20 years and truly love the craft. Now that I am using Claude Code basically 100% of the time my …

Yeah I spent almost 10 years building Rails apps and we would always just use whatever the most reputable gem was at the time and it always worked out great. Its only after moving …

I would never suggest "roll your own", but every web framework I have ever used generally has a library that is the go to battle tested auth implementation and just requires adding…

"Better Auth’s pitch is simple: Let developers implement everything from simple authentication flows to enterprise-grade systems directly on their databases and embed it all on the…

Tmux?

Yeah agree. I spent a few hours looking at the langchain repo when it first hit the scene and could not for the life of me understand what value it actually provided. It (at least …

I'd like to think this is kind of just the cost of discovering that 1 pattern out of many thousands that is actually useful. I am going to guess the Gang of Four didn't just sit do…

The HN hug of death as reported by AI - This is fantastic.

It’s not an actual crime, but If it’s an online multiplayer game it is a violation of the terms of service. Add to that it tends to ruin other people’s enjoyment of the service, th…

Yes, that’s right… they are of dubious utility imho.

I think its probably fair to say that we as individual developers are always going to push for the thing we are most familiar and comfortable with. Almost nothing is "complicated" …

I started in PHP land 20+ years ago, moved into Ruby for the next 10, and now am firmly in JS/Node land. I have used Postgres nearly the entire time. It's my experience that you wi…

ah Portland, where the young go to retire and live on the sidewalk... lovely place!

hmmm... it's almost like they should build more dense housing or something

yeah but plenty of people contribute to open source because it leads to being able to make a good, solid living.
