    Same here, I do not see the point of herdr if you're already using tmux. It's very easy to add hooks to your favorite harness to display a notification in tmux when it's done worki…

    Myeah, the first thing I saw when opening it on mobile is that the top logo is not centered and the menu is not displaying properly ("About" item single on a line with some random …

    At this point it might be easier to point out articles not written by LLM. Most of them are, I just can't bring myself to read them anymore, it feels like a waste of time. I want t…

    We do this because we need redundancy. Are there non kubernetes alternatives for HA/redundancy that are worth it?

    That's a good question... => I didn't think about this, I don't know the answer yet. That's a great question! => I can tell you understood what I explained and used that understand…

    I agree, just like some people decide that they're OK with eating junk food every day, knowing the long term risk. They are free to take it.

    I use AI a lot for development, but I am not sure why students should "embrace" the new technology made to take the job they are studying for.

    It's true for all automation we do get more comfort. We build systems so that we humans have as little struggle as possible, not realising that struggle is the only reason for exis…

    You're wasting a ton of tokens doing that though. Right now you don't realize it because they're being heavily subsidized, but you will understand the point of have good orchestrat…

    Less RAM usage doesn't equal better performances or faster software. It actually might mean the opposite, if you're not caching things in RAM.

    While some of the ideas in this do resonate with me (or at least they're entertaining), it's unfortunate that's it's so obviously LLM generated. And some parts of it, like the INTJ…

    That's really bad... I don't care if people (probably LLM here) do these kind of mistakes in their own personal tooling. But when you're going to distribute it as some sort of libr…
