Were you working on it already, or did it take you less than 17 minutes to commit https://github.com/Lulzx/zpdf/commit/9f5a7b70eb4b53672c0e4d8... ?

I don't ever look at LLM-generated code that either doesn't compile or doesn't pass existing tests. IMHO any proper setup should involve these checks, with the LLM either fixing itself or giving up. If you have a CLI, you can

If this code crashed all the time there'd be a business need to fix it and I could justify spending time on this. But that's not what we're discussing here, we're discussing warnings that have been ignored in the past, a

by hiq 10mo ago
It's rare that I work on a project I myself started. If I start working on an existing codebase, the warnings might be there already. Then what do I do? I'm also referring to all the warnings you might get if you use an existing l

What does a good developer do when working in a codebase with hundreds of warnings? Or are you only considering a certain warnings?
39.
by hiq 10mo ago
Wild (and I guess most of the time bad) idea: on top of the warnings, introduce a `sleep` in the deprecated functions. At every version, increase the sleep. Has this ever been considered? The problem with warnings is that they're not r

That's my main way to find interesting links, especially as I usually find comments more interesting than the featured links. I default to the "top 20".

For paying users of Claude Code and other similar services, do you tend to switch to the free tiers of other providers while yours is down? Do you just not use any LLM-based tool in that time? What's your fallback?

I'm assuming it's too heavy and has too much contact surface (so more friction), making it too hard to glide smoothly. There's probably something with the position of the hand when you move the mouse as well. At least I seem

I've started using snippets for code reviews, where I find myself making the same comments (for different colleagues) regularly. I have a keyboard shortcut opening a fuzzy search to find the entry in a single text file. That saves a lo

Thanks for sharing. Why at home? Is it simply your main setup, so you got rid of external displays thanks to it? I'd have thought that in a situation where you can easily use regular displays, these were still preferable. I'm surp

When do you use it? When you're on the go, like on a plane? Or even at home, or in an office? Mostly for coding? Can you use it all day long? I don't think the tech is good enough for me personally but I'm hoping we get there

There's a wild difference in features and ecosystem when using an iPhone, as well as quite some friction in changing, to the point that it's way more than simple brand recognition. iPhones tend to be more expensive, yet they are b

My point is that there'll be some layer doing that for you. We already have LLMs writing plans for another LLM to execute, and many other such orchestrations, to reduce the constraints on the actual human input. Those implementing this

I don't follow the comparison to Apple. Apple phones are not like Android phones, Apple computers are not like Windows computers. There's a real difference between Apple products and others. There's definitely an appeal for d

I get what you're saying, and it's especially interesting if revenue grows faster than costs, but for private entities it's harder to tell what the actual dynamics are. We don't really have the breakdown of the revenues,
