    This has been the the case all the time: most of our work are connecting pipes using glue code/duct tape so to speak. But now, we are delegating this to AI. Nothing new for me.

    Maybe it is just me: I feel Anthropic most recent product announcements resemble more and more like what IBM tactic was at its high. For instance, the Watson AI hype after it defea…

    I really appreciate the documentation. But, it appears to me that this is how I also use Claude daily and I thought I am just using it as a coding agent. The intro however sounds l…

    I’m doing it this year. Does the pill work as effectively as the drink?

    I bought 3 programming books last month including this one. I really enjoy “Learning Go” over the official go book.

    Your method of combining models to strengthen the implementation reminds me of how we form stronger alloys by combining metals!

    Don’t listen to anyone saying it is fine for reading or writing extensively with the xReal. I have one and it is PITA to do that over a long period. You better just stick with watc…

    Cool! I checked the source and noticed that even LLM prefers simplified, high level Rust coding styles: use value types such as String, use smart pointers such as reference countin…
