I think a big part is which model seems to work better with your language/stack. My language is Elixir, which is somewhat niche, and only Claude has been able to produce usable Elixir code so far. None of the other things mentioned in

That's in ideal world. In real world there's maybe 1% chance your cover letter will reach a human being.

Cover letters are dead imho. Even before AI came to play.

Oh I am pretty sure it’s bad. I am actually quite shocked someone would ruminate wherever or not it’s bad.

I believe it actually is illegal, via a set of more general rules on data collection, on what constitutes a fraud, etc. May not be spelled out exactly like this specific use case, but still very likely covered by law. Just difficult to prov

The scandal is he most likely knew the election is being manipulated via his platform, but didn’t say anything, because it was in “his” candidate’s favor.

So... Is Musk really trying to say he didn't know this before election? This has to be investigated, as it has implications far beyond Musk. This is basically a global scandal.

For all lisp lovers tackling concurrency and parallelism, a reminder there's also LFE - a lisp for Erlang VM. Which happens to have solved all these issues decades ago. LFE was created by one of the Erlang co-creators. https:/&#x

How does this compare to Gleam, in terms of goals, features, etc.?

Damn, I might try this, just to get a better perspective. Does HN fall within “socials” though? :-)

Interestingly, I used the exact same metaphor the other day. Suggesting that tools like GitHub Speckit should have /wrap-up command: > And then maybe "/wrap-up" to tie all the untied knots once you're sufficientl

Isn't this what Erlang/Elixir BEAM is all about?

by josefrichter 1y ago
Come and have a chat at elixirforum.com. Plenty of folks write serious stuff entirely/predominantly in Erlang/Elixir & BEAM and will be happy to answer your questions.

From the docs: "Skills work through progressive disclosure—Claude determines which Skills are relevant and loads the information it needs to complete that task, helping to prevent context window overload." So yeah, I guess you&#x2

yeah you need to read through its templates and "source code" to understand what it does - which is not necessarily a bad thing for this type of project.

I like the part that uses custom slash commands as way to wrap your input into some well-structured prompt template for given type of task. I like the part that also injects relevant pieces of "broken down AGENTS.md" as I see it.

It was actually fantastic even for creating websites. To think that 20 years later we still don't have tools to make similar stuff with similar ease is mindblowing.

Elixir world makes this easy: We advise developers to include examples in their documentation, often under their own ## Examples heading. To ensure examples do not get out of date, Elixir's test framework (ExUnit) provides a feature ca

I don't think they can keep it. What they have has already been replicated by the big guys, with just maybe a few months delay. It seems like they're usually going in the right direction, even ahead of others, but it's usuall

“Diffused thinking” is the official term for the magic behind Pomodoro technique, I believe.

I guess this is just another definition of vibe coding. You're deliberately creating code that you don't fully understand. This has always existed, but LLMs greatly amplify it.

I share your skepticism. The approach you mention seems to be not only the most efficient, but maybe actually the only one that works. This is probably more about neuroscience than personal preferences. The approach presented in the post is

I am fiddling with some language learning utilities myself. Can anyone recommend some relatively simple ways of tracking users' knowledge of a given language? Something like having a sorted frequency list of words/phrases/con

In Elixir/Rails (and newly React) world you can connect Clade Desktop to Tidewave, which gives you pretty close integration with codebase and CLI tools. That makes the experience somewhat similar to running Claude Code in editor's

by josefrichter 1y ago
Does it? Or do you mean the integration when you run Claude Code from the terminal opened in VSCode? (which is already pretty good)

I'm almost sure that we all ended up at the same set of rules and steps how to get the best out of Claude - mine are almost identical, others' I know as well :-)

I thought this is common knowledge. 1 Snickers bar = 30 minutes of running. You can lose 100 pounds without getting up from the couch, but you cannot lose 100 pounds by running, if you keep eating Snickers bars.

It does. Among other things.
