   I’m convinced my love of grocery store checkout logic puzzle books are the foundation of my programming skills. I was also good in tenth grade geometry which is all logic.

   You could, but no one wants to read or play GenAI content.

   TADS is hardly modern. It’s actually the oldest VM based platform from the early 90’s.

   I built https://github.com/chicagodave/sharpee/ as a modern IF platform (Typescript) that runs natively in a browser. Also https://sharpee.net/

   Even my guardrails can’t replace experience. You have to pay attention. This is exactly how some devs land in whack-a-mole loops.

   Sadly, I agree that the majority are undisciplined.

   ADHD may be a part of it but mentoring and some experience with TDD or strong unit testing is also a part.

   OMG (fixed) - I updated devarch to check all html links for accuracy. This came from a recent update to the website to simplify it and of course Claude completely hallucinated that URL. You can NEVER stop being vigilant. This is why I still

    I think there’s a clear split amongst GenAI developers. One group is consistently trying to play whack-a-mole with different models/tools and prompt engineering and has shown a sine-wave of success. The other group, seemingly made up

    OP here. I've been developing project-oriented guardrails for Claude (Code) since Anthropic released the first web version of Claude. It has since evolved with skills, directives, hooks, and guardrails based on Domain-Driven Design pri

    I used my moms Koss headphones as a microphone on her old stereo and used it to broadcast cast my teenage stupidity to the whole house.

    Just to note. McKenzie Scott has given half of her divorce settlement away and still has more than when she started. No one needs to be a billionaire. It’s inhumane.

    Maybe start with universal healthcare and rezoning laws so Airbnb can’t sit on housing. Make public college free. Reduce military spending drastically. Force billionaires to pay a 25% tax on net worth (they’d still increase their wealth). T

    This is the lie. Our economy generates 27 trillion gdp. We can afford everything. We choose not to.

    The New Deal effective tax rates on individuals and corporations plus subsidies for public college created the greatest middle class in history. It also barred banks from loaning Wall Street money for speculative and risky adventures. In 19

    Well you make the assumption the new code will be worse. I don’t think that will be true. Note: if you haven’t used Claude since December then you’ve not seen the massive difference in quality code generation. All the studies prior to Decem

    If this isn’t an indictment of MS management (pun intended), I don’t know what is.

    Code is ephemeral. Apps are going to be replaced instead of maintained. GenAI has changed every part of software engineering and enterprise application acquisition.

    I was a career Microsoft stack developer until Azure. Comparing it to AWS immediately forced me to make a decision to move away from their stack and towards AWS. Just the networking and security infrastructure was complete trash compared to

    I run MalwareBytes on all my browsers and as my computer protection system. LinkedIn is getting nothing.

    Meanwhile Claude Code is still awesome. I don’t see my self switching to OpenAI (seriously bad mgmt and possibly the first domino to fall if there is a correction) or Gemini (Google ethics cough cough).

    I hope everyone provides excellent feedback so they improve Claude Code.

    Not my experience with Claude. Claude will kick your ass if it detects harmful rationalizations. Basically will tell you to go outside and touch grass and play pickleball.

    Why do I care if someone stars my repos? I use GitHub for source control.

    I’ve been using Claude to build native versions of a couple of apps and what was once unthinkable (maintaining multiple code bases) is now fairly trivial. And Electron/Tauri implementations are high quality. I’m not sure platforms like
