Thanks. Definitely before this. Will try it out again next time I’m playing with swift.

Yeah it is but firstly this example was from before skills were a thing and secondly the rules might not be universally applicable. In this case the two tables shared 1:1 mapping of primary key to foreign key so the join was fast and exact

Thanks for the info. I try a mix of things I know well and things I want to play around with. Swift and iOS was something that didn’t work so well for me. I wanted to play around with face capture and spent a day with Claude putting togeth

Yes. This is something they are good at. Also helping with brainstorming.

I’m perfectly comfortable and used to delegating, but delegation requires trust that the result will be fit for purpose. It doesn’t have to be exactly how I would do it but at a minimum it has to work correctly and have acceptable performa

I’m not faster at writing tests than AI but my own code needs fewer tests. When I’m writing my own code I can verify the logic as I go and coupled with a strong type system and a judicious use of _some_ tests its generally enough for my cod

How are you using AI and what sort of software are you building? I have similar years experience and regularly try out AI for development but always find it’s slower for the things I want to build and/or that it produces less than sati

I came here to say this. OP, what are you even doing that requires $150/month of spend, especially given things are mostly idle?

People are focusing on the > vs the >=, but for me the key point is being able to hold logic and variables in your mind over several iterations of a loop. I’ve used similar tests in interviews before (a function that behaves like atoi

One of my favorite articles of all time. It helped crystallize a number of concepts I understood but hadn’t been able to fully realize in the face of the prevailing OOP trends of the time. It was the permission I needed to buck those trends

You don’t generate based on the message contents, rather you use the incoming idempotent id. Customer A can buy N units of product X as many times as they want. Each unique purchase you process will have its own globally unique id. Each dup

To be fair --update-refs was only added in git 2.38 (released in 2022) so it’s likely that OPs workflow came about before this flag was introduced.

I like to use uuid5 for this. It produces unique keys in a given namespace (defined by a uuid) but also takes an input key and produces identical output ID for the same input key. This has a number of nice properties: 1. You don’t need to s

The capability is there. Just use git rebase --update-refs ...

This was my take. They’ve made an issue tracker out of json files and a text file. Why not hook an mcp to an actual issue tracker?

That’s my favorite feature. Rust turns runtime errors into compile time errors. All that fighting with the compiler is just fixing runtime bugs you didn’t realize were there.

In code I’ve worked on, cold starts on AWS lambda for a rust binary that handled nontrivial requests was around 30ms. At that point it doesn’t really matter if it’s cold start or not.
