> its reliability, safety, efficiency problems. these problems exist at any scale Respectfully, I disagree. When you have 5 users using an app sandboxed within the corporate firewa…

I largely agree, but when this point is brought up I always feel the need to go one step further: For the vast majority of software out there, this quality gap simply doesn't matte…

His game has only a handful (like literally 5-8) players [0], at least on Steam. [0] https://steamdb.info/app/1541710/charts/#1m

We already have these, and have for a while. Replit and Bolt exist for exactly this case. Not sure why GP didn't direct their friend to these tools (or if these tools are somehow t…

This sucks and it makes me sad. The end of an era. I really hope Anthropic doesn't follow, but I assume they will eventually because why wouldn't they? Google and Meta obviously wi…

Come on now, arguing it's a good feature is different than arguing that it should be turned on by default for everyone with no documented option to turn it off. I like this feature…

Sadly, it seems the pelican benchmark is now saturated. Time for Pelicanbench Pro!

I will never stop being fascinated with takes like this. Maybe you're right. But people said very similar things over the last few years and many of those statements look unbelieva…

I more meant feature-level differences. For instance, Claude Code has agent teams, and Codex CLI does not. Or for a while, Codex had "/goal" and Claude Code did not (though now Cla…

This is "Feature Factory" thinking, and it is usually not ideal. Feature count is a poor metric to optimize against. Instead, ROI and delivered customer value should be the focus o…

I think this is clearly be design. They don't want to provide support, they want you to give up and let your issue go.

I understand and sympathize with this point of view. I would just say this: there is a difference between advice for using a product, and for _optimizing_ your use of a product. Be…

Just use a fallback, like Codex CLI. Takes a little effort upfront to ensure your configuration is wired correctly for both harnesses, but it is pretty easy to get them 90% identic…

Came here to say this -- humans are not always rational actors. I get asked questions all the time, which I have no special knowledge of, and which the asker could have easily Goog…

Nice, thanks for the detailed answer!

I feel like caching should be mentioned in tradeoffs, right? If you change the tool list frequently, that's a cache bust. In long sessions that seems like it could significantly af…

I came to the comments to say basically this. I have read and heard takes similar to OP's probably 50+ times from different people in the last few months (and years, now), and I ag…

This (from the September 2025 post) now evokes the Curb theme: > Like you, we have seen numerous reports that more and more firms are capping their total headcount in favor of lean…

I want to agree, I do. But this point is plainly wrong in my observations: > The enterprise version of that is I don’t want a CRM unless at least two other giant enterprises have s…

But it is working primarily because of the Max subscription model. If I could use my Max subscription to get $5000 worth of tokens for only $200 via OpenCode or Pi, I would drop Cl…

I think the argument here ignores a critical fact: a huge factor in Claude Code's popularity is the Claude Max plans. These plans give you potentially thousands of dollars of token…

I agree with your take. I don't really see why evals are assumed to be exclusively in the domain of data scientists. In my experience SWEs-turned-AI Engineers are much better suite…

"Eat your own farts." Solved it.

As someone who works with real licensed engineers (electrical, civil), I wish we would use the term "agentic software engineering" to describe this. Omitting "software" here betray…

It is for this reason that I usually keep an "adr" folder in my repo to capture Architecture Decision Record documents in markdown. These allow the agent to get the "why" when it n…
