    Yeah, there is a level of organizational trust that is required to use this tool (as with any system that allows distributing access via service accounts). We do signal to Claude t…

    there is certainly code that sucks; but the article strikes me as someone conflating "code that sucks" with "code that is complex and big and takes a while to get used to". I have …

    I've been pretty happy with my ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (32", 6k, but only 60Hz). Kinda infuriating that Apple doesn't let you adjust third-party monitor brightness though (and my work …
