Yes. If my only AI experiences were the ones you list, along with Google’s search summary, and the modern Clippy, I’d hate it too. My wife was shocked to learn how much she liked Claude after these forced experiences with AI.

This is exactly the pedantry I try to avoid in my teams. The point of a review shouldn’t be to make sure it’s exactly how the reviewer would do it. Is it safe? Does the author understand the area? Is there evidence the code has been exercis

I agree with the overall sentiment, but personally have grown to love if/return style. I find it easier to reason about and as it ages, stays maintainable vs more elsif branches with multiple conditions each.

I want to be clear that I'm not judging anyone, just observing the zeitgeist. Does just being able to live mean getting a new phone occasionally? Getting a coffee/treat once a week? A job that doesn't leave you in physical p

At almost 50, I feel like there has been a cultural shift since I was a kid. It isn’t enough to be middle class, to have the proverbial white picket fence. The reach now is for glamor and wealth, which is by definition out of reach for the

No polls so much as views + likes. What gets a reaction? What makes good TV? This seems to be all that matters.

Ping Pong is what you play for fun in the basement. The competitive sport is Table Tennis.

The answer is Yes, this can be exploited from the outside by taking over dev machines and using their access. If you answer No and complain that it’s not taken seriously, it’s at least in part because you didn’t show the risk clearly.

If the argument for NoSQL is, “we don’t know what our schema is going to be”, stop. Stop and go ask more questions until you have a better understanding of the problem.

This balanced perspective on what’s good for someone personally vs what’s good for society at large is what’s missing from the world.

Sure, but you can feel some emergent philosophies that are starting to converge and there are recognizable aesthetics.

At least some responsibility lies with the white-hat security researcher who documented the vuln in a findable repo.

find is provided by the OS, not a terminal emulator like Ghostty. Most likely something is wrong with your paths.

The terminal was _always awesome_, the bar to realized that was just a tad high for many people. Until now!

If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold. No, thank you.

My impression is that this was never about the TOS. It was about breaking a contract with Anthropic by someone with an incentive to replace it with OpenAI. I don’t have evidence, just using Occam’s razor.

FWIW, I clicked the link, scanned the SO thread, then scanned the HN thread. The "bunch of important words taken out" is exactly the service I paid AI for. "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you

Claude’s answer, which is the only one that clicked for me: Normally when you do something like command > file.txt, you’re only capturing the normal output — errors still go to your screen. 2>&1 is how you say: “send the error pip

I find OP's communication style abrasive and off-putting, which tracks with them saying they've been coached on this, and found that advice lacking. Maybe it's still insufficient advice, but it hasn't worked for them at

Doesn’t the loom metaphor still hold? A badly operated loom will create bad fabric the same way badly used AI will make unsafe, unscalable programs. Anything that can be automated can be automated poorly, but we accept that trained operator

I have a triple-click shortcut in iOS to use the accessibility features to go below the min dim settings. Otherwise even dark mode is way too bright in a dark room.

“Just” is doing some heavy lifting here.

What are people using for browser automation / validation? I’m surprised not to see more selenium/puppeteer wrappers.

My impression is that if you are reviewing the edits, that is not “vibe coding”, it’s AI-assisted programming.

Even worse, "I would argue that..." It's not hypothetical if you are here, in the current tense, arguing that. I've mostly cured myself of the habit, but its tough.

Of course, that’s what someone who figured out that this works would say.

I'm a heavy Claude Code user, but have been thinking that this is exactly where I want to evolve my process to.
