#92Or they could write native client apps using Qt to handle that “last 10%” of native app polish.

Why isn't Claude doing QA testing for you?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but if not, you cant rely on the thing that produced invalid output to validate it's own output. That is fundementally insufficient, despite it potentially catching some errors.
> you cant rely on the thing that produced invalid output to validate it's own output
I've been coding an app with the help of AI. At first it created some pretty awful unit tests and then over time, as more tests were created, it got better and better at creating tests. What I noticed was that AI would use the context from the tests to create valid output. When I'd find bugs it created, and have AI fix the bugs (with more tests), it would then do it the right way. So it actually was validating the invalid output because it could rely on other behaviors in the tests to find its own issues.
The project is now at the point that I've pretty much stopped writing the tests myself. I'm sure it isn't perfect, but it feels pretty comprehensive at 693 tests. Feel free to look at the code yourself [0].

#94Free as in puppy Edit: The title of the post originally started with "If code is free,"
what exactly does this mean (i am a puppy and don’t understand…)
Re: Why is Claude an Electron app?
#95Not all code qualities are free. Good quality code, still expensive.
Youve been able to hire a dirt cheap Indian or fillipino living on poverty wages in those countries to knock out cheap crap for a long time.
Re: Why is Claude an Electron app?
#96Because code isn't free. I can see it in my team. We've all been using Claude a lot for the last 6 months. It's hard to measure the impact, but I can tell our systems are as buggy as ever. AI isn't a silver bullet.
And after 12 months, most probably no one from your team will understand what the result of half of those bugs is.
When devs outsource their thinking to AI, they lose the mental map, and without it, control over the entire system.
Re: Why is Claude an Electron app?
#97Because Anthropic has never claimed that code is free? It's pretty easy to argue your point if you pick a strawman as your opponent. They have said that you can be significantly more productive (which seems to be the case for many) and that most of their company primarily uses LLM to write code and no longer write it by hand. They also seems to be doing well w.r.t. competition. There are legitimate complaints to be m…
Point still stands. If you are so much more productive and have some of the most expensive engineers in the world, why not write something decent
Because these tools are good at using frameworks with a lot of examples out there.

#98Why stop there! We should refuse to accept coding agents until they have fully replaced chromium. By that point, the world will see that our reticence was wisdom.
The article already concludes coding agents have uses in areas they already do well. What specifically can be continued leading you to think should instead not be used?

Is that similar to a free older German car?

#100I really hope React Native’s support for Mac and Windows apps takes off. The benefits of Electron without Chromium, plus native controls/functions.
