    These are valid push-backs on the "postgres everywhere" argument. The two critical questions IMO are: 1. At what scale do these issues arise? 2. Does Postgres make it harder to sol…

    It literally does though? GP said they'd never seen anyone achieve anything interesting. The person you're replying to said they know someone who closed a few deals as a result of …

    Seems like a bunch of noise. What does this even mean? It sounds like you're saying "Actually you, as a human, are simply not smart enough to evaluate Opus 4.8"

    It has seemed to me that with each step from Opus 4.6, to 4.7 to 4.8 Claude has gotten worse at building good solutions. Like perhaps it is more "capable" in the small scale than 4…

    SpaceX was surely more profitable before it was used to bail out Elon's xAI which was used to bailout his purchase of Twitter.

    Imagine you have 3 branches: local-dev-tuneup, bugfix-a, feature-b Remember in JJ you're always "in a commit", so the equivalent of the git working tree (i.e. unstaged changes in g…
