I get the love letter to text thing, but this is almost too bare. Copy-pasting every URL makes it feel like an unfinished apartment.

I'm trying to understand the edge here. How is this different from using a crawler + LLM to fetch a page and extract the metrics? Is the main value coverage/reliability across site…

This feels less like a broad market and more like a market structure that favors a small number of sophisticated participants.

That makes sense. Maybe the existing VS Code integration is the place to solve part of this for coding workflows: formatted output, artifacts, and search UI all seem useful next to…

What do you miss from the Desktop app that the CLI doesn’t cover? I’m mostly on Linux too and have just been using the CLI, so I’m curious.

My understanding is that it’s mostly an inference-time knob, not different weights. OpenAI describes reasoning.effort as controlling how many reasoning tokens get used before the a…

This matches my experience. I am building a small tool on top of DeepSeek, and the low model cost changes the pace a lot. It makes it easier to keep experimenting without turning e…

Congrats to the MySQL team. Nice to see another LTS release.

Tried it with a PDF, but after upload I didn’t see any response or output. What kinds of PDFs does it handle best, and what’s the advantage over existing PDF-to-Markdown tools?

I like this direction. Seems hard to get right, though.

I’d bet on the boring one: easy to debug, easy to constrain, easy to rip out when it breaks.

Right. The machine can emit caring-shaped text. Deciding whether it is worth someone else’s time is still the human part.

I think the missing piece is ownership. AI can produce text that sounds considerate, but it cannot be accountable for wasting someone’s time or leading them in the wrong direction.…

The bottleneck becomes human review, not code generation. A PR can look plausible and still add more entropy than value.

Exactly. The bottleneck becomes human review, not code generation. Agents can generate commits faster than humans can verify whether those commits should exist.

As a developer, I don’t think it’s just that costs are going up. I’m also seeing more people lately talk about “vibe slop”.
