Yeah. Bug-for-bug migration is a real thing in large code-bases in the industry. You want to replicate all behavior of the code regardless whether the behavior is a feature or a bu…

I am guessing that's because Sign in with Google is the least of the evil, as compared to other popular OAuth Sign-in options like Facebook, X...

I think it'd take some time for people to figure out what kind of harness or workflow would work best with each individual codebase or team culture. AI certainly can help speed thi…

Last time I looked into this (about a month ago), there's a lot of restrictions on the use of Gemini's search grounding results. There's not even an easy or approved way to de-mang…

As a side note, I previously commented somewhere else that, if a language has a terse way and a verbose way to do the same thing, preferring the terse way might be more economical …

I think it's kind of awkward either way. The standard committee keeps adding new features to the language to address common pain points in the industry. But many people don't have …

I think it's just a common practice to do it this way in the industry. May not mean these companies are intentionally hiding something at this point of time.

A side note: the article starts with "If England has Shakespeare, Spain has Cervantes, Italy has Dante, and Russia has Pushkin, then who do we have?" but does not mention China: us…

A typical suggestion is to make the agent create or update a .md file once in a while, so the agent would remember the new important things that have shown up since the last update…

Why not try a real database like Postgres? It's not as light-weight, but when operations get complicated, real databases are much easier to work with. I had a website that started …

Also...allow people to work from home more. During the Covid pandemic, most white-collar employees work from home, and the commute and the traffic is usually not a big problem. But…

Yeah, some work from Google has had an outsize impact on the entire industry. Won't be surprising if they eventually get a nod from the Turing Award. Including the main authors of …

I still remember back in 2005 when I just joined a company, a coworker was quipping Google is not a real elite company, because it doesn't even have a Turing Award winner. I showed…

To be honest, I'm more worried about another side of the problem. LLM's are good at learning from whatever humans have posted online. But with the agentic workflows getting more po…

I think a main worry is that, this AI wave is quite different from past technological revolutions in that, this wave is happening so fast, the speed that humans learn new skills an…

A few years ago I listened to a seminar where a few real professional doctors discussed the hospital scenes in movies or TV shows. They mentioned that those dramatic and chaotic op…

In every company I've worked at (all with >1000 employees), there is always some text in the offer or onboarding documents clearly stating that you should not bring any previous em…

Ha, finally found time to get it working. Yeah it's more hassle than Claude Code since this needs a separate daemon server, but not very bad. 1. Install another copy of codex in a …

Hmm, I don't have a desktop computer. I prefer my laptop be used for other purposes, and can sleep when not in use, instead of running a coding agent 24x7. That's why I prefer runn…

Hmm, thanks. Didn't know about this. But looks like a bunch of hassle to set it up?

I've been using Claude Code, Codex, Gemini (now Antigravity) at the same time for half year now, ever since I dipped my toe into agentic coding. I'd say in general Claude Code and …

On one hand, I understand that some old code is hard to delete because it's hard to detangle a lot of the legacy dependency. On the other hand, too much useless old code existing i…

Half year ago I tried to use Codex, Claude and Gemini build the same scripts to automate various things on my machine. Claude was the clear winner back then, making the most reason…

I think LLM-driven agentic flow is useful in some cases, but in many other cases, deterministic code would be indeed much safer and more reliable. In the ideal world, people can bu…
