This tool might be useful for AI tool beginners who need some guidance, but using it as a scoring tool looks like a mistake. It’s just going to penalize people for having different ways of working. I don’t know how much it’s actually used t

Interesting that the comments are almost unanimously in favor of Apple on this one. I suspect the blog post was an attempt at viral marketing for the app. It worked in some sense, as it’s been on places like the HN front page where this app

Fable consumes your usage at a higher rate. If you bought the $200/mo plan and you don’t use it much, using Fable for everything is fine.

Using the most expensive model for all of your agentic coding work hasn’t been good practice for a long time. Not unless you have infinite money to spend. Fable is typically used for key planning, architecting, and review tasks. I think thi

I’ve seen so many variations of this where a community starts adding more rules that are open to judgment. Removing the obvious rule breakers looks like an easy win at first. Then over time the list of rules grows. Small groups become good

By now, anyone writing articles in 2026 but ignoring the 2026 study is either intentionally trying to mislead people, or so uninformed on the topic that they're just regurgitating old anti-AI content. If you want to talk about studies,

The original claim is not wrong. Thinking hard does not burn significantly more calories. If it’s really hard to measure because the amount is so small that it requires precise equipment, it’s not significant relative to the rest of the bod
