    It's still not really an either or scenario. Skills will always serve a purpose as high level on demand contextual guidance. I think of MCPS as hard tools, api contracts etc. While…

    I have been loving deepseek flash. I can code in my hitl preference doing complex but moderate amount of coding and not even hit 1 dollar in a session. It gets harder to justify pa…

    Claude 4.5 was it (nov 2025?), without a doubt. It went from frequent hallucinations to highly usable with much less garbage output. If you were making demos of AI tools around thi…

    Been my experience as well. Human corrected code is orders better than ai generated slop. Slop might get you the promotion at your day job who is still in fomo tokenmaxx mode, but …

    Who is envious of his trillions? I'm certainly not. I am very annoyed at someone who buys elections, literally promising a million dollars for a vote, and then running in and gutti…

    What are the "stupid reasons"? Are they "regulations"?

    Scotts point was that these brands have already declined, and that the only thing left is a very strongly loyal subscription base. That perked my ears up for sure.

    No, because most model providers don't have an overt political agenda determined by one person. He literally promises to change specific political responses. Building on top of Gro…

    The same critique of those points can be made which was in the article. The cost of switching is minimal. This isn't SAP or a CRM or some other business where workflow = moat.

    100% second for OpenCode. for a lot of people it's becoming a very important second choice. I use it for cheaper models when my $20 claude code runs out for the day and I get a lot…
