One of the guys these days told me he's using claude code and developed 20 projects in last 4 weeks.
I asked him, how many people are using any of them? He told me it's just him.

#182I'm pleasantly surprised that rust is the fifth most popular language. It is indeed a joy to work in rust with Claude compared to e.g. python.

Until you encounter circular references. And then suddenly you're working on mundane memory stuff for the rest of the day.

#184Perfect example of a base rate fallacy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy What percentage of GitHub activity goes to GitHub repos with less than 2 stars? I would guess it's close to the same number.
When I first got a job, I asked the company okay, how many people are going to use the code i write?
If the answer wasn't in hundreds of request per seconds, i wasn't interested in job.
I found job at ad tech companies, pay wasn't any good but the challenges were immense.
Most people write code, which will hardly be run by other people or even receive any customers.

I am not sure it's meant to be a negative thing. Obviously, a lot depends on the context here.
But, I've developed a dozen or so projects with Claude code. I am meant to be the only user.
I am maintaining a homelab setup (homelab production environment, really) with a few dozen services, combination of open source and my own - closed sourced - ones.
I had tons of ideas of how to set things up. It evolved naturally, so changing things was hard. Progress was quite slow.
Now, I have a pretty much ideal end-state - runs on auto-pilot, version bumps mostly managed by Renovate, ingress is properly isolated and secured (to the extent I am familiar of).
I was able to achieve things I wouldnt've otherwise in that time. I skipped parts I did not care about and let LLMs drive the changes under supervision. I spent more time on things I did care about, and was interested in learning.
Yeah, most of my LLM code is sitting closed source and that's by design.

Re: 90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars
#187Already enough comments about base rate fallacy, so instead I'll say I'm worried for the future of GitHub. Its business is underpinned by pre-AI assumptions about usage that, based on its recent instability, I suspect is being invalidated by surges in AI-produced code and commits. I'm worried, at some point, they'll be forced to take an unpopular stance and either restrict free usage tiers or restrict AI somehow. I'm…

None of your original products are actually closed.
If you go on other account and ask LLM about your projects you'll pretty much get all the code you wrote using LLM again.
That's my gripe with LLMs, most of my friends across the globe are working on similar projects. They are 90% same. You are burning tokens thinking they are doing some new innovation.
I pretty much google for things if they exist, i don't build them.
I'd like to see projects in spaces where nothing exists like a good CAD for 3d printing etc...opensource. but nobody is building all that.

#189Earlier quoted context omitted.
I guess you linking to it was a self fulfilling prophecy If you read your own reference (not the picture, but where you took it from on Wikipedia) really really carefully, you might be able to tell why it so perfectly applies to you The person with little knowledge overestimates they're capability, and the person which actually knows how complicated [the thing] is , usually isn't as confident they mastered it. Your t…
You’re talking about a confidence and ability gap. I have heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect. I accept all of that. But the claim above was that having low confidence was correlated to higher skill. Ie, skill and confidence are anti correlated. The chart does not show that. The lowest data point for confidence is the point on the left of the chart. This is also the data point corresponding to people who have the leas…

Re: 90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars
#190Just to clarify as OP, the point here is not that Claude is not contributing to serious work, just that the dashboard suggests a lot of usage in public GitHub repos seems to be tied to low attention, high LOC repos. This is at least something to keep in mind when considering the composition of coding agent usage, and when assessing the sustainability of current trends. In hindsight the headline was a bit more sensati…
This seems to be the same misunderstanding about agentic coding I see a lot of places. Agentic coding is not about creating software , it's about solving the problems we used to need software to solve directly . The only reason I put my agentic code in a repo is so that I can version control changes. I don't have any intention of sharing that code with other people because it wouldn't be useful for them. If people wa…
