LLMs can add unsubstantiated conclusions at a far higher rate than humans working without LLMs.

If you have high time preference yes. Over longer time horizons I think the issues with vibe coded software will reveal themselves in the same way badly written software does.

> sufficiently complex Sounds like we are working on different types of projects. I avoid complexity at almost all cost and ruthlessly minimise LoC and infrastructure. I realise that's a privilege, and many programmers can't.

It is not an "idea" but something I've been doing for months and it works very well. YMMV. Yes, you should avoid large files and control the size and quality of your context.

The minification is a great idea. Will try this. Their approach is still agentic in the sense that the LLM must make a tool cool to load the particular doc in. The most efficient approach would be to know ahead of time which parts of the do

As they point out in the article, that approach is fragile. Cheaper because it has the right context from the start instead of faffing about trying to find it, which uses tokens and ironically bloats context. It doesn't have to be ever

I'm not sure if this is widely known but you can do a lot better even than AGENTS.md. Create a folder called .context and symlink anything in there that is relevant to the project. For example READMEs and important docs from dependenci

It's more expensive and difficult to hack or get a warrant to access multiple bigcorp servers with a variety of privacy stances and jurisdictions, than it is to get access to a single one. Security is about making attacks expensive. No

I have run my own mail server for years and I rarely see spam. I'm running a classic Bayesian filter as outlined in the legendary PG post "A Plan For Spam" and it works very well. I don't really get all the fuss about th

The OP's code is in production though.

aider keeps a log of this, which is incredibly useful.

No. If you have a skill like Tim's, this is what you use it for.

You don't have to leave the command line. Claude Code, and other agentic tools like it, make you feel like you've left the command line because they capture the whole terminal and leave you with less agency. There are tools like a

I miss the Apple IIe with its pure orange cathode rays on the pitch black of zero light emission, gently lazing my eyeballs each day as I clacked BASIC into the REPL.

Long time user. It really is the absolute chefskiss . It's all about the small details, keeping things constant, and the minimalism. Can't praise it highly enough and I'm very grateful to everybody who works on it!

Yes. Yet people still go to cafes where humans make the coffee.
261.
by chr15m 9mo ago
I mean "nobody" in the statistical sense. The number of people going to robot cafes is a rounding error compared with real cafe attendance. The fact that there are robot cafes and everybody (statistically speaking) is still going
262.
by chr15m 9mo ago
Why did you go to coffee shops even though the coffee tasted worse? That's my point.
263.
by chr15m 9mo ago
Not about quality. They want the experience of going to a cafe where the coffee is made and served by humans. These cafes exist along side automated coffee.
264.
by chr15m 9mo ago
There are orders of magnitude more cafes where humans make and serve the coffee.
265.
by chr15m 9mo ago
Yes, agree. Cafes and baristas still exist even though the are coffee vending machines.
266.
by chr15m 10mo ago
Great point. Also, nobody would go to a cafe where the coffee comes from a fully automated machine instead of a barista.

Hang on, the 2015 study suggests otherwise. Daily dose suppressed PGE2 while 3-daily dose didn't. > Since PGE2 is involved in gastric healing, we understand that this new approach could be safer and as efficient as the standard dail

Some research suggests the stomach bleed risk comes from the platelet inhibition itself, which would mean you can't have the good effect without the bad.
