    > Claude applied techniques I didn’t expect, from disciplines I wouldn’t have thought of Do you have any example?

    Lately I am finding myself doing more and more of what I called "ambient coding" so that I am not directly using anymore all of those coding harnesses. https://redbeardlab.gitbook.…

    It is not clear to me how much CPU I get. "Unlimited" as in 8vCPU and then I am billed for it on consumption?

    There is a lot of positive comments in this comments section that I don't mind being a bit rough. I think we can do much better. The workflow of copy to chatgpt and getting feedbac…

    I think you guys are doing pretty much everything right.

    Another trick that I use. I force the code to be almost 100% dependency injection-able. It simplifies a lot writing tests and getting the coverage. And I see the LLM being able to …

    Yes it is passable. Good enough that I don't review it. Granted, it is a personal project that I care only to the point that I want it to work. There are no money on the line. Noth…

    What I found more useful is an extra step. Spec to tests, and then red tests to code and green tests. LLMs works on both translation steps. But you end up with an healthy amount of…

    I just made an app that read GitHub issues. If they have a specific tag, the agent in the background creates a plan. If they have another tag, the agent in the server creates a PR …

    I am somehow close to what MSFT and GitHub are doing here, mostly because I believe it is a great idea, and I am experimenting on it myself. Especially on the angle of automatic/co…

    I think that the wider industry is living right now what was coding and software engineering around 1 year or so ago. Yeah you could ask ChatGPT or Claude to write code, but it was…

    In general when you try a new tool or methodology you tend to start with a small class to see the results first.

    This is not an AI tool, this is a CLI that has very verbose output and documentation. It can be used by human or by AI agents. I experiment the same with other mechanisms, and CLI …

    You don't need AI for it. You can just install the tool and use it. It is a CLI with very verbose output. Verbose output is good for both humans and AI.

    The perspective from an educator is quite concerning indeed. Students are very simply NOT doing the work that is require to learn. Before LLMs, homeworks were a great way to force …

    I created something similar, but instead of final oral examination, we do homework. The student is supposed to submit a whole conversation with an LLMs. The LLM is prompted to answ…

    I will be crucified by this, but I think you are doing it wrong. I would split it in 2 steps. First, just move it to svelte, maintain the same functionality and ideally wrap it int…

    I am toying with something similar. However my approach would be to use duckdb and S3 over lambda. Leaving many of the concerns to the infrastructure. Like basically no OOM. No nee…

    With my partner we have been working to invert the overall model. She started grading conversation than the students have with LLMs. From the question that the students ask, it is …

    Just to echo the point of MCP, they seem cool, but in my experience just using a CLI is orders of magnitude faster to write and to debug (I just run the CLI myself, put test in the…
