If you don't mind me asking, what are "good agentic engineering practices"? To my knowledge, we are still exploring many techniques of using agents within a codebase, and have not …

TLDR - My question is: For experienced developers, is writing code from scratch still a core skill worth learning? Is the future of development just using AI agents to orchestrate …

Careful, you might just get turned into an H100 along with everything else in the observable universe

Well - I think the writing was on the wall when they announced they were going to be for-profit. Slippery slope and all that, but I’m sure some of this is because they’ve been givi…

What are the first and fourth?

“The limits now are so bad that a business that relies on it would need bigger plans.” Isn’t this the goal to some extent? They’ll probably have the standard “light” usage plan for…

Is this not the case for OTC drugs? Specifically, the two mentioned in the article. I rarely take either of them, but if my doctor tells me to take 1 ibuprofen every 6 hours or so,…

I have a degree in design - it's one of those frustrating fields where laypeople really do believe they are experts. Mostly because... they can "see" it. It's easy to propose a cha…

I agree — right now it's "all eyes on AI". They are moving fast, I don't think there's some evil plan behind the scenes. They're trying to build software super-weapons, and they're…

Question for you, did these tools replace software / design consulting as something you relied on in the past? This is a success story I've been hearing more recently. Restaurants,…

Back when I was a lowly web dev intern - I was able to finish most of my work rather quickly. Obviously, instead of going above and beyond - I found a way to browse Reddit in the t…

I don’t know much at all about materials - but wouldn’t this be a little “fuzzy”? If they’re using heat to expand/contract whatever material, I imagine there’s a degree of variance…

This is what I’m noticing. At my workplace, we have 3 or 4 non-devs “writing” code. One was trying to integrate their application with the UPS API. They got the application right, …

Agreed. I honestly chose Jellyfin over plex because I preferred the branding, not sure what I’m missing. I really enjoy Jellyfin, and thy seemingly have support for most devices in…

Anthropic today, who next week? If locally run models ever get to the point where they can reliably solve... 85% of what the frontier cloud models can do, I think many would be wil…

I run Jellyfin on an UnRaid server, it was relatively simple with the containers just being “plug and play”. Think it took me about 2 hours. I did have some trouble when we moved i…

Man I really thought this was satire. It’s phenomenal that you can gain 10x benefits at all layers of the stack, you must have a very small development team or work alone. I just d…

I haven’t really been following this, but my understanding is that they’re cancelling this program - I haven’t dug into the “why” too much, seems like something about the Disney de…

I’ll bite - I’ve been a dev at a new company for about a year and a half. I had mostly done front end work before this, so my SQL knowledge was almost nonexistent. I’m now working …

Maybe I’m missing the point but we have some of these implemented without the tool - the only one that needs an API key is the log scraping. It’s been surprisingly cheap and if we …

Not arguing, but I just prompted Opus with a made up word and it responded with this: “There are 4 Rs in the word “burberrorrly.” Here they are highlighted: burberrorrly (positions…

I suppose at that point I’m wondering if it would have just been faster for… you, (I’m assuming) the developer to make that change and deploy it? Is the AI really faster on small c…

Man. Runs like butter on an iPhone 15 (Non-Pro). Impressive!

How many pages of architecture / constraints did you write? I guess I’m curious what type of text input renders 200K lines of code output. It must be a similar level of tokens in j…

Interesting read. Thought I’m not sure I loved the way the graphs were laid out. I didn’t do a deep dive on them but some felt like they were displaying the data in a way that wasn…
