The funniest part of that whole thing was when someone said "I trusted you, but you use light mode on your terminal" and then he replied that people stop by his desk daily just to make fun of him for it.

The irony is that light mode is objectively the correct way to use things.

This feels like the desperate, look at me! post, which is the exact opposite of Andrej Karpathy's recent tweet[0] about feeling left behind as a programmer, as covered on Hacker News[1].

I guess would want to see how sustainable this 5 parallel AI effort is, and are there demonstrably positive outcomes. There are plenty of "I one-shotted this" examples of something that already (mostly) existed, which are very impressive in their own right, but I haven't seen a lot of truly novel creations.

This is interesting to hear, but I don't understand how this workflow actually works.

I don't need 10 parallel agents making 50-100 PRs a week, I need 1 agent that successfully solves the most important problem.

I don't understand how you can generate requirements quicky enough to have 10 parallel agents chewing away at meaningful work. I don't understand how you can have any meaningful supervising role over 10 things at once given the limits of human working memory.

It's like someone is claiming they unlocked ultimate productivity by washing dishes, in parallel with doing laundry, and cleaning their house.

Likely I am missing something. This is just my gut reaction as someone who has definitely not mastered using agents. Would love to hear from anyone that has a similar workflow where there is high parallelism.

That was one of my first thought as well, but I was thinking that he did it for readability in the post not for real...

Needlessly condescending post of someone sharing their self-proclaimed vanilla setup of iterm with a handful of tabs.

But hey, if it makes you happy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

(2) isn't my experience at all. It's not 100% bug free but it definitely seems more stable (and faster) than I when I first used it last year.

The UI flickers rapidly in some cases when I use it in the VSCode terminal. When I first saw this when using Claude Code I imagined it was some vibe code bug that would be worked out quickly. But it's been like 9 months and still every day it has this behavior - to the point that it crashes VSCode! I can only imagine that no one at Anthropic uses VSCode because it really seems insane it's gone this long unfixed.

That one's definitely annoying, but I suspect that's due to some bad initial design choices (React for a terminal app!) and I think it's definitely better than it used to be.

I'll assume this isn't a troll, and ask you by objective measures you believe this is true?
