And their strategy kind of worked, right? CC is the most popular agentic coding tool. Anthropic faces competition from OpenAI (potentially better model, weaker TUI tool) and from the rest (potentially worse models, weaker TUIs). So their st

Yeah, whenever I see "It's not... it's...", I catch myself instinctively dismissing the content as AI slop, but upon reflection I'm not so sure, it used to be a normal phrase. But I do take extra care to avoid LLM-s

But remote account is just one of the many evils they cane up in the last decade or so. Honestly, not sure if the net benefit for humanity is negative if Windows gradually disappears.

To have a proper discussion we would have to define the word "novel" and that's a challenge in itself. In any case, millions of poeple tried to ask LLMs to do something creative and the results were bland. Hence my conclusion

This is a long read on things most people here know at least in some form. Could you pint to a particular fragment or a quote?

I'm very happy to say calculators are far better than me in calculations (to a given precision). I'm happy to admit computers are so much better than me in so many aspects. And I have problem saying LLMs are very helpful tools abl

While I agree with you in general, I am one of the very few people who do it for the small amount of sites I support. This is not a smart decision from the technical point of view but it's been fine so far.

It's true, they lied. But, paradoxically, in this case, while they lied about details, the conclusion is still true: Azure is very far from AWS and GCP as far as security is concerned. I have my own suspicions why it is so, but the rea

You probably mean AGPL. Companies hated GPL from the start and nothing has changed to this day. But the cloud is specifically against AGPL.

Finally someone competent to answer the crucial question. Taken into account the enormous amount of excellent work you did, and the fact that dev tools are hard to monetize, what was your strategy?

And, at least regarding the more recent ones in Iraq and Afghanistan, Europe witnessed the largest anti-war protests in history. From that perspective, the current "emperor is naked" development might be positive in the sense that

I totally get it. I remember when my daughter first asked about the origin of the world, I was really thinking hard, knowing she expects a simple and possibly a reassuring answer. In the end, I opted for honest and said: "I don't

I just checked your projects, it looks just like something I was looking for. And I hope in a few weeks the guys from Anthropic will give you what they promised. However, since we're frank here, I'd say I'll download the most

Man, I had a partner who studied philosophy, too. I'd ask a simple question and they'd answer, "Wait, before we even start, we need to define the axioms". It was fun and interesting but eventually non practical, because

Google is doing the same, these managers all use what they know, that is following KPIS like MAUs etc.

Yeah but today you can at least have a video call more or less normally. Back then it was a hiccup after a hiccup, it was impossible to work normally, and yet orgs pushed it down everybody's throats as it was bundled.

And yet, somehow AWS managed to get this right-ish. They evolved, learned by making mistakes, and created de-facto standards (like object storage protocol) on the way, while at the same time supporting decades-old services. And I'm sur

Yeah, and with each of these, I always wonder, what's the point?

The downside of LLMs is that they're so easy and cheap to use they became the first choice for any problem at hand.
