Context engineering is a critical part of being able to use the tool. And it's ok to not understand how to use a new tool. The different models combined with different stacks require different ways of grappling with the technology. And it all changes! It sucks that you've tried it for your stack (Elixir, whatever that is) in your way and it was disappointing. To me, the tool inherently makes sense and vibes with my o…

So your take is that every real software developer I know is simply bad at using this magical tool that performs on the level of mid-senior level software engineer in the hands of a few chosen ones? But the chosen ones never build anything in public where it can be observed, evaluated, and critiqued. How unfortunate is that? The people I talked to use a wide variety of environments and their experience is similar acr…

People do build in public from vibe-coding, absolutely. This tells me that you have not done your research and just gone off of general guesses or pessimism/frustration from not knowing how to use the tool. The easiest way to be able to find this on Github is to look for where Claude is a contributor. Claude will tag itself in the PR or pushes. Another easy way to that I've seen come up for this is there is a whole "BuildInPublic" tag in the Threads app which has been inundated with Vibe coding. While these might not be in your algorithm, they do exist. You'll be able to see that while there is a lot of crud that there are also products being made are actually versatile, complex, and completely vibe-coded. Most people are not making up these stories. It's very real.

I feel like these background agents still aren't doing what I want from a developer experience perspective. Running in an inaccessible environment that pushes random things to branches that I then have to checkout locally doesn't feel great. AI coding should be tightly in the inner dev loop! PRs are a bad way to review and iterate on code. They are a last line of defense, not the primary way to develop. Give me an is…

Huge waste of time. You are being sold a bill of goods whose only purpose is to make you a dumb dev. Like woah, an llm can use cdp!! Who cares. Cant wait till people start waking up to this grift. These things are making people so dumb and a few richer, thats it.

We were heavy users of Claude Code ($70K+ spend per year) and have almost completely switched to codex CLI. I'm doing massive lifts with it on software that would never before have been feasible for me personally, or any team I've ever run. I'll use Claude Code maybe once every two weeks as a second set of eyes to inspect code and document a bug, with mixed success. But my experience has been that initially Claude Co…

Why waste so much time making your devs dumb. Just code brother, this is the dumbest tech in software right now wasting peoples brains away.

No relations to them, but I've started using Happy[0]'s iOS app to start and continue Claude Code sessions on my iPhone. It allows me to run sessions on a custom environment, like a machine with a GPU to train models [0] https://github.com/slopus/happy/

Are you people just lighting money on fire? What could you possibly get done via a phone that is meaningful.

trust your instinct. internet is dead.

Actually, there are more internet users today than at any point in history. The internet is far from dead. The commenter in question is the CTO of the company which makes Wordfence. My instinct says they're not on the OpenAI payroll and you're looking at a normal comment and not advertisement. I think you should check your priors man; it's worth thinking critically before you toss out accusations like that.

Thanks joenot443.

I suspect the only way to prove that I’m legit to the doubters is to do something a paid shill or a bot would never ever do.

To the commenters who think I’m a shill or bot: fuck every single one of you and the various motherfucking horses you rode in on.

I suspect we may be entering a dystopia where vulgarity is proof of life.

If your app runs on iPadOS, you already need to support every "screen size" (window size) Android is simply a much worse platform to make money on. Users spend <25% as much as iOS users. Why would they prioritize that?

Because 70% of the mobile phone world runs on Android. It is like trying to make a living selling games to macOS users.

Users spend Why would they care about prioritizing users who spend much less? Android pays Android users are more likely to be useful for spreading word-of-mouth reputation to Apple platform users, than they are as direct spenders. Just another reason to ensure Apple platform features don't trail Android.

In practice Android is much more difficult to handle the myriad of offerings - Have you ever tried both? To your other point, what app spend would Anthropic be worried about - they have a subscription model.

They sell through the app, too. And Android users are just as unlikely to spend outside of apps as they are inside them. Android deprioritization is a business decision, not a technical complexity decision.

--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox isn't enough for you?

I don't want unlimited writes. I basically want to unlock nearly everything but approve writes in some scenarios.

Where do unix permissions and a different user and extended attributes fall short for that?
