I wouldn't say that the distinction is so much about code being "simple", but about code being made of patterns common enough in online examples. Claude Code and similar can write even very complex code, as long as it's

When something becomes abundant, we focus on something else which is still scarce. That's human nature. Salt used to be scarce and very valuable, but nowadays who thinks about it?

I'm not flight phobic but I still stay buckled all the time when I don't need to move. It's a very little nuisance.

You can have redundancy with a monolithic architecture. Just have two different web server behind a proxy, and use postgres with a hot standby (or use a managed postgres instance which already has that).

I gave that a try, then I decided to use devcontainers instead, and I find that better, for the reasons you mentioned.

It looks like a lot of these issues are due to the fact that Rails has been around for a long time, has lots of versions, and you wanted to support many versions (Which is commendable, by the way). If you only had to support the latest Rail

How does Cursor plan mode differ from Claude Code plan mode? I've used the latter a lot (it's been there a long time), and the description seems very similar. The big difference with the workflow I described is that with that plan

When the task is bigger than I trust the agent to work on it on its own, or for me to review the results, I ask it to create a plan with steps. Then create a md file for each step. I review the steps, and ask the agent to implement the firs

I had the same issues, and half-baked a similar solution. But then I looked into dev containers, with which I get higher isolation, including a DB for each instance (which is important for testing in parallel; I'm mostly using Ruby on

LLM coding agents can't learn from experience on our code, but we can learn from using them on our code, and in the context of our team and processes. I started creating some harnesses to help get more of what we want from these tool

Trump is working hard to remove any notions that the USA are "leaders of the free world", and making it into the unapologetic "mafia boss of the American Empire".

"Find usages" and "Go to definition" work very well in RubyMine in my experience, at least in normal Rails projects - I use them all the time with command-click.

"capital" in the economic sense isn't money at all - it's tools, infrastructure, knowledge; from this point of view, you're correct. A bubble bursting on the stock market doesn't destroy capital. On the other h
