Five hours ago I was reviewing some failed tests in a PR. The affected code was probably 300 lines, total source for the project ~1200 lines. Reading the code, I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on... and I wrote all the cod

Use of a single sentence for --reason is an anti-pattern. The reasons for vouches are more important than the vouch themselves, as it gives context to the reader to whether the vouch is valuable or not. You'll see this when you look at

I don't think it makes any part harder. What it does do is expose what people have ignored their whole career: the hard part. The last 15 years of software development has been 'human vibe coding'; copy+pasting snippets from

Personally I like Drone more than Buildkite. It's as close to a perfect CI system as I've seen; just complex enough to do everything I need, with a design so stripped-down it can't be simpler. I occasionally check on Woodpeck

The best local models are literally right behind Claude/Gemini/Codex. Check the benchmarks. That said, Claude Code is designed to work with Anthropic's models. Agents have a buttload of custom work going on in the background

Most benchmarks show very little improvement of "full quality" over a quantized lower-bit model. You can shrink the model to a fraction of its "full" size and get 92-95% same performance, with less VRAM use.

To be fair, it's social media and search engines that killed The News. Every news outlet has been gutted by the need for profitability, and editors have always clashed with the interests of their benefactors.

That's a bit of an understatement. Every single LLM is 100% vulnerable by design. There is no way to close the hole. Simple mitigations like "allow lists" can be trivially worked around, either by prompt injection, or by the
