It is heartwarming to see how sarcasm turns into a celebration of mediocrity.

> Things not working the way I expect means I have to do more work to figure something out. You must love SELinux

I don't think it was AI, I seem to remember that google broke search or SO SEO broke to the point where it wouldn't even point at the right SO article. There used to be a lot of co…

This is why I always fail loud rather than pick a stupid default.

Are you really diving into technicals just by asking "sooo what did you do?" to your AI? Without document crawling, debugging and pulling your hair out, how much of it is really a …

Anthropic should make their own language, and openai should follow suit.

Maybe it is because anthropic prefers a larger system prompt? https://github.com/asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks/blob/main/A...

I agree with all of this, and gource is an excellent example, but this is still "what" and builds no case for a "why". Not even an anecdote like "I told the agent this and it compl…

I tell it to avoid belts and suspenders, don't leave dysfunctional code in, and fail loud. Seems to change that behavior.

I just tell it "you have until morning to work on this, be careful not to use too much ram and don't burn the cpu" and then it goes off to do its thing and hopefully rngesus is wit…

I've been using both codex and claude for the past month and if anthropic acted up like that I'd switch fully to codex in a heartbeat.

Looking back, I wonder what really changed over 25 years for the linux ecosystem. We had lots of distros, there were games built for linux (I remember playing the entire Neverwinte…

I'm not going to downplay it. I've been coding since the 80s and using these models since 2023. 10 minutes after using fable I told my colleague this is a new era. It is the differ…

Sometimes it is ok to sit there in confusion and ask the user to clarify rather than go on an adhd fueled rampage to figure it out without asking.

What do you mean by water fasting? Do you avoid drinking water directly, or do you avoid all food? For example salads are basically sacks of water.

I also run a Qwen 3.6 moe A4B on old hardware. I set it up with numactl --membind=1 so it is constrained to one of the memory sticks which speeds up token generation a little.

Learning some schmuck's framework, IDE, language or OS never felt rewarding to me. It was always like playing with broken toys. Hear me out. There was always some subtle quirk, a b…

To be fair, nowhere on the frontpage does it say it can build libraries that depend on node. It seems like you are just waiting in the bushes to dis AI assisted coding.

And it was so much better/more stable than Borland C++6! Open/close 15-30 files or mistype a path and borland gave you the good old crash. You had to handle that IDE with extreme c…

I loved react in 2013 when it had the life cycle methods. Everything was deterministic, I knew what caused what where and when. Now every framework is a mess and I'm glad I won't h…

---- Before it was: Me: We need to do this this that. Claude: Me: Are you sure? Claude: Well actually there is a bug ----- Now it is: Me: We need to do this this that. Claude: Clau…

Because every developer asking for permission 3,800 times is exhausting for everyone.

Feels like 7/2025 claude. Nowadays it doesn't do that very often, only when you get it into a happy-go-lucky mode.
