What you're describing sounds like code hygiene and refactoring not features.

This is my confusion, we already have commits to bundle changes, why not simply allow commits to be reviewed independently within a pr?

Creating derivative products you charge for surely can't be considered fair use?

Different tools for different cases. Debuggers are great for a snapshot in time but print statements are better for seeing the execution flow.

If shows the direction your fingers would point on the guitar neck but it's not like there's much confusion around this point.

Each genre has a fairly tight envelope within which to operate. Regardless 90% of tracks never make it to the finish line because hobbyists haven't learnt them well enough to groov…

While I can get behind the sentiment I hope bad writing doesn't become the standard for anti AI. A simple grammar check would have greatly improved this post.

If it was fast I'd ask questions more than read the code in detail. This isn't viable for that approach yet though.

Good code has always been written with a reader in mind. The compiler understanding it was assumed. The real audience was other engineers. We optimized for readability because it m…

Given how precious the main context is would it not make sense to have the skill index and skill runner occur in a subagent? e.g. "run this query against the dev db" the skills ind…

I used Charles for many years but proxyman's performance is a real step up.

The big limitation is that you have to approve/disapprove at every step. With Cursor you can iterate on changes and it updates the diffs until you approve the whole batch.

It's fine to have dependencies, the point is two services that need to be deployed at the same time are not independent microservices.

Free at the point of use is how it's usually expressed.

While I do find the new iOS a little more awkward to use than the previous version I haven't given up hope on the concept yet. It's a big change and I can see v2 making some big im…

The vscode integration does feel far tighter now. The one killer feature that Cursor has over it is the ability to track changes across multiple edits. With Claude you have to eith…

I found the instructions pretty confusing because you're not actually moving anything. You're combining the first selected row/column with the second selected row/column and replac…

When they transitioned to the app router it was like they'd given some bootcamp graduates a crack at "improving" on the express apis - which are mature and roughly align with the c…

I've seem some game of thrones clips recently in youtube shorts which looked like they'd been generated by ai. I couldn't understand why anyone would have done that to the original…

You can be an architect without reading the code. My process involves building a detailed plan before starting, at which point I ask lots of questions about architecture. After imp…

This is a prompting issue. You're still responsible for constraining the behaviour of the system. For the validation example asking for tests that show validation passing and faili…

The Spring framework was released in 2003 when Java was at v1.4. From memory it wasn't the first DI framework either.

You're right, it's the use of the Context that allows for the injection of the effects. It's also all handled at runtime which does unfortunately mean that the contexts supplying t…

As I understand it this was the inspiration for React's hooks model. The compiler won't give you the same assurances but in practice hooks do at least allow to inject effects into …

It is incredibly slow though. I have a project with 40k lines of code which takes a minute to generate on an m1. It's a far cry from incremental compilation. It's enough that I gen…
