Totally disagree that the value of a project is it's durability. The value of the project is almost entirely disconnected from durability. Value is simply the ability to solve a problem for you. I'll use a bad screwdriver before I

See, this is part of the confusion. There is no such thing as "GPT-5.5-codex". The last codex-branded model was "GPT-5.3-codex". Starting with "GPT-5.4" the main model handles agentic engineering and they did n

I'm struggling as well to understand, and I think perhaps they mean they use ChatGPT website with GPT-5.5+reasoning for problem solving, and paste the output into Codex CLI/App. I think they're saying that letting Codex CLI&#

What a weird thing to suggest. This model is worse than some Chinese models from last year, which were already worse than frontier models from last year. This looks like a worse Deepseek V4 pro. Costs more, dumber, slower and more verbose t

Really cool experiment. A lot of jank. It would sometimes rubber band me back, movement was grid aligned in a way that made accessing the secret room challenging, and the whole tab unexpectedly crashed with no error. 5 star would play again

It's not fun to spend an hour going zig zag against the wind? What about an hour doing it with a boat full of precious materials that can't go through the portal while you're being chased by some ungodly horror from beneath t

In your example, those projects were not the domain of engineering. Your friends couldn't afford expertise and those projects never would have been made before. Therefore, these are net-new projects that replace nothing that came befor

This is a non-answer, and in fact, a statement like "don't let fear be an excuse to lose rigor in thinking" in response to my question "how verifiable are their claims" is insulting and sloppy. Rigor in thinking inc

What does verify mean? Can they verify the private cloud is completely immune to nationstate actors, has no zero-day vulnerabilities, is completely bulletproof in a court of law and can never be compelled to secretly share info with governm

You can do basically the same thing as cloudflare except as a skill you run in your local harness. If you're going through the motions with PRs and are familiar with actions, you can have it run in a github action instead. But this is

I've come to realize that folks are including "ai-slop" in their ~public use of AI to intentionally signal to others that they're using AI. To some, that signal results in revulsion. To others, that signal results in app

In my humble opinion, most of the code I've ever touched was slop, and I think I left it in a better state than I found it. What more can you do?

by criley2 5mo ago
Brother, I don't care who writes the specs as long as they sign the checks on time. And yes, I do care about my work even if upstream is slop. In a relay race, you can lower your performance to weakest leg, or you can be the strongest

There is no way to facilitate untrained users in the healthcare space to vibe code real applications touching patient data. There is no magic policy, firewall, or "facilitation technique" which can make vibe coded software reliabl

Claude Code uses Ink, a react library in javascript for UI. The upswing is probably stuff like this making it super easy to write a TUI.

I actually think "just asking ChatGPT" is fine, because A) the data in these apps is suspect at best and B) the data behind calories is also pretty suspect (but we all play along because we can adjust other variables to make it al

Are you referring to the one (1) study that showed that when cheaper LLM's auto-generated an AGENTS.md, it performed more poorly than human editted AGENTS.md? https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.11988 I'd love to see

Even more than validating ideas, I think my personal AI use falls into two categories: - Exploration: I am "vibe coding" to explore a domain, add many features, refactor the app over and over, as a real time exploration of the dom

Whenever a new one comes out, there's a good chance they're free for a week on Zen, so I try out any free ones. For example, MiniMax M2.5 and Qwen 3.6+ are free right now. Personally, I've had a lot of good results in my litt

I haven't tried $20 claude code recently, but I've used OpenCode Zen primarily so I can play with opensource/chinese models which are very inexpensive. I'd spend $0.50-$1.00 on a single claude opus 4.6 plan mode run, the

For as rigorous of a Turing test as you present, I believe many (or even most) humans would also fail it. How many humans seriously have the attention span to have a million "token" conversation with someone else and get every det

The philosophy still works, you just have to change your view. Instead of trying to work side by side with the agent on every turn (inside of your IDE), instead the agent performs a unit of work and then you review it. You can use your IDE

I asked a rhetorical question to get the reader to think about a topic. I was not looking for a rote recitation of a well-known textbook answer. Maybe you should not be on the comment section of an engineering website if you find discussion
