Out of curiosity, what’s your flow? Do you have codex write plans to markdown files? Just chat? What languages or frameworks do you use? I’m an avid cursor user (with opus), and have been trying alternatives recently. Codex has been an imme

I am way too self-conscious to do that :) Plus they are almost all in Portuguese!

Out of curiosity, what do you feel are the key differences between cursor + models versus something like Claude Code/Codex? Are you feeling the benefits of the switch? What prompted you to change? I've been running cursor with my

Claude is quite good at European Portuguese in my limited tests. Gemini 3 is also very good. ChatGPT is just OK and keeps code-switching all the time, it's very bizarre. I used to think of Gemini as the lead in terms of Portuguese, but

You are right, agreed. Having realized that, perhaps you are right that we may need a different architecture. Time will tell!

I can run the comparison again, and also include OpenAI's new release (if the context is long enough), but, last time I did it, they weren't even in the same league. When I last did it, 5.X thinking (can't remember which it w

When I first started coding with LLMs, I could show a bug to an LLM and it would start to bugfix it, and very quickly would fall down a path of "I've got it! This is it! No wait, the print command here isn't working because a

This is the first model to which I send my collection of nearly 900 poems and an extremely simple prompt (in Portuguese), and it manages to produce an impeccable analysis of the poems, as a (barely) cohesive whole, which span 15 years. It d

An agent can always be told what to do by a human. However, a human can't do what a human can't do. For example, a human can't answer in superhuman speed. A way to be somewhat certain that an agent is the one responding is to

I think I used to have that view as well, and in a way still do, but this particular project proved otherwise. The first version was built pretty much that way, with a tiny microcontroller and extremely optimized code. The problem then beca

This is only very tangentially related, but I got flashbacks to a time where we had dozens of edge/IoT raspberry pi devices with completely unupgradeable kernels with a bug that would make the whole USB stack shut down after "roug

When I was 19, an ex-student of my Alma Mater came to give a talk about TDD. While I found the lecture interesting, I vividly remember that a portion of our community rallied against him, attempting to boycott his presence because he worked

I used to think that, too, but I don't think it's the case. Many people slowly open up to an LLM as if they were meeting someone. Sure, they might open up faster or share some morally questionable things earlier on, but there are

Every single one of my non-techie friends who use ChatGPT rely heavily on memory. Whenever they try something different to it, they get very annoyed that it just doesn't "get them" or "know them". Perhaps it'll

I am in the exact same camp. My belief in free markets has been completely shattered and my political stance on several subjects has changed dramatically over the last years. I no longer believe in the free market at all. Of course this isn

I thought it was a good read, although with a couple of mistakes and a somewhat (IMO) childish sense of entitlement. This reads a bit like something a young teen who is heavy into tech wrote. I'm sure I could have authored something wi

Mine definitely would. This sounds so clichéd, but Claude (Opus 4.5, but also the others) just "gets how I think" better. I've tried Gemini 3 and GPT 5.2 and didn't like them at all -- not when I know I can have Claude.

Because the concept of skills is not tied to code development :) Of course if that's what you're talking about, you are already very close to the "interface" that skills are presented in, and they are obvious (and perhap

I'm so excited for the future, because _clearly_ our technology has loads to improve. Even if new models don't come out, the tooling we build upon them, and the way we use them, is sure to improve. One particular way I can imagine

You mean it hasn’t been that way for the last 14 years and it hasn’t survived 5 different computer changes and a dozen or so OS migrations and you don’t still have a tiny document with “fun business ideas” to start that company with your fr

While I was writing the reply, I considered giving the absolutely exact same explanation, which I agree with, down to the example you gave. Two examples in portuguese that always trip me up, and absolutely never used to before are (i) &quot

I'm 32, but I noticed I started making similar mistakes around 28 or so. Occasionally I write out words which are completely wrong, but sound similar. It's as if one part of the brain is doing the thinking, and another one is &quo

I feel you. It's definitely a tradeoff. SPAs do tend to be buggier but I can't deny that, when done right, they also tend to be better. Unfortunately, there's _more_ people, building _more_ stuff, so there's _more_ terri

I think the logic can be applied to humans as well as AI: Sure, the AI _can_ code integrations, but it now has to maintain them, and might be tempted to modify them when it doesn't need to (leaky abstractions), adding cognitive load (i

100% agree. This is exactly the kind of big picture thinking that so many people often seem to miss. I did too, when I was young and thought the world was just filled with black and white, good vs evil dichotomies

I very unironically think everyone should watch The Good Place to get an initial feel for ethics.
