Just pasting code snippets, and occasionally an entire file or two into the main claude.com site. I usually already know what I want and need, but just want to speed up the process on how to get there, and perhaps I missed something in the

I've been noticing it's more on par with sonnet these days. I don't know if that means Opus is getting more efficient, sonnet getting less efficient, or perhaps Opus is getting to the answer fast enough to overcome the higher

I find my sweet spot is using the Claude web app as a rubber duck as well as feeding it snippets of code and letting it help me refine the specific thing I'm doing. When I use Claude Code I find that it *can* add a tremendous amount of

My observation over the last 10-15 years here has been this is partially true. But what's more true is the Overton window has shifted. To use your example, the things that would come out of their mouths, especially Elon, has taken a de

My PCP actually recommended holding off until later in the 50s for this reason. There's not currently a booster so his suggestion was to play the odds & delay a bit in order to get longer protection in my elderly years.

Good call. Looks like there's at least a user submitted workaround now [1] [1] https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/14803#issue...

Also Gen X. Stopped purchasing physical media altogether ~2010 after trailing off once the iTunes store opened up. My old physical media are all down in the basement somewhere. I don't own anything that'd be able tp lay any of it.

Exactly. I've been a tech lead, have led large, cross-org projects, been an engineering manager, and similar roles. For years, when mentoring upcoming developers what I always to be the most challenging transition was the inflection po

by jghn 10mo ago
That's kind of the point here. Once a dev reached a certain level, they often weren't doing much "relaxing code typing" anyways before the AI movement. I don't find it to be much different than being a tech lead, ar

Good luck with that.

Same. I have been using Plex for 15 years. For my personal use case, it has not changed, ever. I don't encounter any "enshittification". For my purposes it continues to be exactly what I want, just as it always was.

I like it. I think I said this in a separate post in here but I've taken to breaking it down to different archetypes and discussing them separately.

No I think your point is good, it just wasn't contradictory and I think that was your intent. Defining FP is a dark art :)

by jghn 10mo ago
Sure, but that's part of my point in agreeing that definitions of "functional programming" are muddy at best. If one were to go back to say 1990 and poll people to name the first "functional programming" language th

I don't commit as a backup. I commit for other reasons. Most common is I'm switching branches. Example use case: I'm working locally, and a colleague has a PR open. I like to check out their branch when reviewing as then I ca

Not to disagree, but calling it Github-centric is a bit over specific :) I regularly work with Github, Bitbucket, and Gitlab. Everything I said applies except for the fact that I said "PR" instead of "MR". But yes, you&#

There are two halves here. Up until the PR is open, the author should feel free to have 20+ "wip" commits. Or in my case "checkpoint". However, it is also up to the author to curate their commits before pushing it and op

by jghn 10mo ago
My philosophy is that once a PR is open, that's the point at which people should no longer feel free to treat their branch as their own. Even in groups that squash commits, it should still preserve the aggregate commit messages. But un

by jghn 10mo ago
An example I like to use are groups that put their autofmratter into a pre-commit. Why should I be held to the formatting rules for code before I send my code to anyone? I'm particular about formatting, and it doesn't always match
444.
by jghn 10mo ago
Yes, big fan of enforcing standards via CI/CD workflows. Any rules a group wishes to be met should be in there. As long as someone meets those rules by the time they open a PR, I don't care how they get there.

by jghn 10mo ago
Not if I push my branch it to origin. But until I do that, it's none of your concern if I do or don't. Once it gets thrown over the wall to my colleagues and/or the general public, that's the point where I should be conf

by jghn 10mo ago
On any project where pre-commit hooks are used, the first thing I do is disable them. What I do when the code is on my side of the line isn't your business.

by jghn 10mo ago
This is important. The benefit here isn't the language itself. It's the fact that you're pulling from an esoteric language. People should not overfit and feel that whichever language is achieving that effect today is special

My city has been making efforts to stymie traffic flow to encourage less driving. I almost never drive but it's still annoying as crap when what used to be a 20 min drive is now 40+ because of how slow the first/last mile is now.

It's the only git operation I do with a gui. But as I said elsewhere, there are a lot of little integrations I do make use of. For instance I find it helpful to have git blame up on the side when editing a file.

by jghn 10mo ago
Exactly. There's a lot of little niceties buried in the integration across the board. I'm convinced that many VSCode supporters have never used a true IDE because whenever I complain about VSCode's shortcomings I'm met w
