Check context size. LLMs become increasingly error-prone as their memory is fills up. Just like humans. In VSCode Copilot you can keep track of how many tokens the LLM is dealing with in realtime with "Chat Debug". When it reaches

The value depreciation of the hardware alone is going to be significant. Probably enough to pay for 3x ~$20 subscriptions to OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini. Also, if you use the same mac to work, you can't reserve all 128GB for LLMs. Not

Open weight models are neat. But for SOTA performance you need specialized hardware. Even for Open Weight models. 40k in consumer hardware is never going to compete with 40k of AI specialized GPUs/servers. Your link starts with: > &

I love Exceptions as control flow! Thanks for the suggestion. I too use specialized exceptions. Some have friendly messages that can be displayed to the user, like "Please fill the password". But critical exceptions display a gene

I like this. But doesn't it make sense to categorize en Exception thrown as an erro somehow? And a new user registration as an email info? Perhaps use tags then?

Nice. I guess you write logs on the "final" block of a global try/catch/final? Something like: try { // handle request code } catch (...) { // add exceptions to log } final { /

How can you defend Safari rendering broken sites for long periods due to lack of frequent updates as a good thing? The ever current adage of distortion field applies here. Just like Safari not having webgpu was touted as a feature and now t

At least MCPs can be unit tested. With Skills however, you just selectively append more text to prompt and pray.

Many languages use this idiom. Some popular ones even. So while it's good that Rust joined them, it's hardly a differentiator.

Fellow diagnosed ADHD here. And I know every ADHD is different and people are different. What helps me is: - Prefer faster models like VSCode's Copilot Raptor Mini which, despite the name, is like 80% capable of what Sonnet 4.5 is. And

I think it's because the ground in frontend dev is shaky. Browsers keep changing along with people's expectation of what a website or app should be capable of. Meanwhile on the backend land, the same MVC framework from 2 decades a

React only renders. You need a lot more than that for an app. And if you glue packages together you're basically reinventing frameworks. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. Regardless of your choice between glueing libs or a frame

No language is going to do that for you. And I don't think Go promissed otherwise. Perhaps it's about managing expectations.
