Why read code when you are getting results fast ? See https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16dd04 https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16d... I am not kidding. People don't seem to understand what's actually happening in our industry.

Why is everyone obsessed with Mac Minis. They're awesome but for the work that these people are attempting to do? Just seems... nonsensical. Renting a server is cheaper and still just as "local" as any of this (they want "self hosted", I don't think anyone cares about local. Like are people air gapping networks? lol) And a senior director of Nvidia? He had several Mac Minis? I really gotta imagine a Spark is better... at least it'll be a bit smarter of a cat (I'm pretty suspicious he used a LLM to help write that post) No time to think, gotta go fast?

  They want access to Apple Messages. That's all there's to it AFAICT.

  It seems like the monkey-ladders story. Someone probably just had one sitting around and it worked or needed to do something Apple-specific and that message got lost along the way

I'm not getting results. That's the point. Claude doesn't fucking work without human intervention. When left to its own devices it makes bad decisions. It writes bad code. It needs constant supervision to stop it from going off the rails and replacing working code with broken code. It doesn't know what it's doing! It's about as far as you can get from being able to work independently. Yegge is an entertainer. Gas Town is performance art, it's not meant to be taken seriously.

  How much are you spending ? See initial post of the thread. My team has no problems with it, they are spending each 5-10k per month.
