They're just saying that like Suno Music, if you look closely the cracks show. They're not saying the music is AI generated.

That depends entirely on how you're using AI. If you're getting it to do all the hard thinking, then sure using the best model is probably always going to be better. But it's also going to be expensive. Using cheaper models a

I've went on a similar journey and did just end up going to back SQL. Mapping database rows to domain objects really isn't that painful and you only do it once. So not a big deal. LLMs actually make this a non-issue now. I actuall

Dunno, it seems like the exact kind of thing Claude would think up if you asked it to subtly alter the system prompt to hide this info. It's all a losing battle anyway.

I commented on the original post and I still don't understand the point of a "Visual Designer" basically reimplementing Windows XP in the browser. What are you trying to show off? Also, it seems very buggy with the visuals. I

I have one too. He'll say "Claude says this:" and pastes a screenshot of some Claude Code output. Most of the time it's wrong, or makes assumptions that won't hold true. Or it comes up with some overcomplicated solu

It depends on where you're using AI. If you're working on a project for yourself or in a tiny company. Then sure, writing the code probably was your bottleneck. But at mid to large companies writing code is maybe 50% of the job, a

I am seeing similar things in just regular tooling and development. Things that can be solved deterministically or what would have been a simple CLI 5 years ago are now an LLM integration. Instead of using the LLM to create deterministic to

Our entire company is basically ran through Jira. Most processes rely on Jira and certain transitions fire of webhooks for automation. One of the first things we did when we got access to AI was make a Jira MCP. I try not to touch Jira anym

But you must understand you are a minority. Most people don't do this, they will get something for free and fiercely defend this right to get things for free. Libraries aren't unethical, because they're just letting you borro

I don't understand why this is a movement that is ethical to get behind. Someone spends months or years of their life dedicated to writing a book. And people celebrate the fact they can get it for free, justify it by saying it's

Yeah, so whatever you're doing to wrap Claude is broken. Because it's breaking the UI. "It's never bothered me". Cool. But your tool is bugged.

I don't know what you're talking about. His tool wraps Claude and breaks the TUI. What's so hard to understand? That's valid critique. What world have I woke up in today?

So why has your tool completely broken the Claude Code UI then? Can't you see in the gif? It's completely broken. My Claude doesn't look like that. Neither does anyone else's.

I have tried Claude code. It doesn't look like that! I don't know what the project is. All I see is a TUI that looks completely broken. Go and use Claude Code right now. Does it look like that? Random underscores all over the page

With a lot of these AI tools yea, they release very often. But half the features they add aren't even that useful. They just add shit because they can and they introduce bugs and change behaviour all the time. Opencode has the same pro

I can tell you how that situation comes about. You start by rejecting those PRs, saying "write more maintainable code, not quick hacks". Management starts pressuring the original developer "why is it not merged yet, I thought

Why wouldn't I just `go install` from the git repo? Why is it worth encouraging the use of python tooling for generic application distribution when things like homebrew or chocolatey already exist?

What problems are they? I can't really think of any problems where writing the code was the hard part. There's plenty of times where I don't know what code to write because I've never used a library before. But it's

I'm classing that as the second camp. Because you don't find it hard to do, it's just time consuming. It means you still know what you're doing and you're just using AI as a tool to accelerate your delivery. That&#x

Yes, I think there's 2 kinds of developer. Those who think the code is the hard part, and those that don't. The developers that thing coding is hard are the ones that absolutely love AI coding. It's changed their world becaus

I suspect it's because Claude said "You're absolutely right! QR codes are an excellent way to store data with their redundancy and small size".

QR codes can only recover data because the QR code itself is built with redundancy. It's always storing more data than is actually needed. But if you lose too much of the QR code, it becomes impossible to read. Think about the most bas

Okay, so this project encodes memories as QR codes within an MP4 file. And if I'm correct, I believe it's doing some sort of vector search based on the text embedding of the data to find the frame within the MP4 file. The one thin
