Is there a form of this argument that could not be made leading up to the Industrial Revolution? Approximately 60-80% of pre-industrial ways of making a living disappeared or required complete reskilling. Does anyone seriously think we shou

As an immigrant, I understand the deal (for a working visa): I must bring valuable and scarce skills that this economy lacks (as demonstrated by the premium it is willing to pay). "Total Compensation" is an imperfect-but-good-enou

Here's a bulletproof working visa policy: automatically approve everyone who will be in income tax (state and federal) more than the median gross income (~$60k). Sort of minimum-income-tax personal guarantee, which all highly-skilled m

It's impossible as an IC on a team, or working where a concept of "tickets" exists. It's unavoidable as a solo founder, whether you're building enterprise systems or expanding your vision. Some details - 1. Before w

Context rot. My use case is iterating over a large codebase which quickly grows context. All LLMs degrade with larger context sizes, well below their published limits, but pro models degrade the least. R1 gets confused relatively quickly, d

I’m a founder/CTO of an enterprise SaaS, and I code everything from data modeling, to algos, backend integrations, frontend architecture, UI widgets, etc. All in TypeScript, which is perfectly suited to LLMs because we can fit the type

Yes, a lot of usage, I’d guess top 10% among my peers. I do 6-10hrs of constant iterating across mid-size codebases of 750k tokens. CC is set to use Opus by default, which further drives up costs. Estimating productivity gains is a flame

Agree, current "thinking" models are effectively "re-run this question N times, and determine the best answer", and this LLM-evaluating-LLM loop demonstrably leads to higher quality answers against objective metrics (in

Okay, I just tried the Claude Code extension in VSCode - the experience is 100% identical to how it works within IntelliJ, even using the same icons and shortcuts to turn it on/off.

I use IntelliJ (WebStorm) as my daily driver, and Claude Code is an integral part of my workflow. I didn’t check VSCode specifically, but I did read the link to that extension - everything they describe is precisely how the Claude Code work

While your observation is generally true, and I share your overall concern about my IDE of choice, in this specific example it doesn’t apply as the Claude Code plugin for IntelliJ offers exactly the same integration as their plugin for VSCo

FYI, you can add browser support by using noble-hashes[1] for SHA256/HMAC - it's a well-done library, and gives you performance that is indistinguishable from native crypto on any scale relevant to S3 operations. We use it for our

+1 to this concern from our Very Large customers in the EU. Today, AWS, GCP, etc. are omnipresent, so there are plenty of counterexamples; however, the growing concern is, "How do we become less reliant on AWS in the next decade?"

+1. We use Zod only for internal validation and would love a standalone release for v4 (or another package like zod4 or @zod/zod). I'm sure many greenfield projects would prefer that, too.
