Funnily enough in all my years of using git, this thread is the first time I've encountered merge. It sounds easier I suppose, but I don't really have a problem with rebase and will likely just continue as is

That leads to the obvious question; is the API next on the chopping block? Or would they just increase the API pricing to a point where they are A) making profit off it and B) nobody would use the API just for a different client?

Bit on an update on Zen, it looks like Anthropic have blocked Claude usage outside of Claude Code, so if I did want to use Opus, it'd have to be through that. They might reverse it or OpenCode might find a way round it, but overall I&#

Oh nice, so Claude/OpenAI isn't as important as (Claude)Code/Codex/OpenCode these days? How is opencode in comparison, the idea of zen does seem quite nice (a lot of flexibility to experiment with different models), thou

Wanted to try more of what I guess would be the opposite approach (it writes the code and I critique), partially to give it a fair shake and partially just out of curiosity. Also I can't lie, I always have a soft spot for a good TUI wh

Oh nice, I saw people on reddit say that Opus 4.5 will hit that $20 limit after a 1-3 prompts, though maybe thats just on massive codebases. Like you, I'd just want to try it out on some hobby projects

A little off topic, but this seems like one of the better places to ask where I'm not gonna get a bunch of zealotry; a question for those of you who like using AI for software development, particularly using Claude Code or OpenCode. I&

Sure, but if you stop digging and filling in those holes nobody is gonna care. People clearly do care if Tailwind stops development, thats where this whole thing stemmed from; someone opened a PR and it wasn't getting merged in

There are a lot of comments to the tune of "why does a CSS library need 1m+ (or any money at all) to survive?". I'm no expert on this kind of thing, but Tailwind 0.1.0 first released on November 2017. Since then, there's

Linux is 34 years old, most large software projects are not. Also your using a specific version of Claude, and sure maybe this time is different (and every other time I've heard that over the past 5 years just isn't the same). I d

Sure, but if you outsource your plumbing you don't call yourself a variation of a plumber (a vibe-plumber I guess). The magic box is nothing new, it's just that it used to be operated by a human.

As has already been said, we've been here before. I could ship significantly faster if I ignored any error handling or edge cases and basically just assumed the data would flow 100% how I expect it to all the time. Of course that is al

By your own admission its not irrelevant, there are a small group of people who do care about that kind of thing on either side. For an indie dev, that matters. AAA studios can pretty much guarantee at least a few thousand sales, indie devs

Other than the usual scepticism around AI, it seems like it goes in the complete opposite direction of what they're trying to do. It sounds like they want to rethink how computers should work right from the beginning, eg they dont ship

I love Godot and think it has a great deal of potential for this kind of thing. Sure using a game loop isn't really very efficient for basic UI application, but in your case that doesnt really matter too much. That being said, I really
