I usually create a document/folder with my thinking on what I want to do, any background information that is relevant, conversations on the topic, technical manuals, links etc. Then enter a conversation and explore the problem space a

I haven't used pen and paper for note taking for years and years now. I used to keep a lot of notes in markdown organized into folders (used obsidian for a bit but was just easier to do in Vim). These days I don't take that many

FYI, AI adoption in health in NZ is moving forward, for example https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/589774/emergency-doctors... This is just about not using free/public AI tools.

No, well, I still enjoy the articles. The thing that always surprises me is the negativity in comment threads. I'm genuinely quite excited about AI based development. Yesterday I was playing around with developing a marketing plan f

just use claudes help, if you want to know keybinds, just do /keybinds (which is not in the cheat sheet)

by keithnz 7mo ago
it doesn't need to exist, its all in claudes help, and easily discoverable.

by keithnz 7mo ago
not really, mostly its self explanatory, it has poweruser things that are discoverable within a few minutes of reading the help. Weirdly the cheat sheet is actually missing things that you can find inside claudes help like /keybinds

tell them what to prompt the AI with to get the correct results. I've seen a number youtube shorts lately doing this, where some scientist gets "refuted" by some random person based on an LLM result, they then sit with the L

I've been working on a "vibe coded" project to create a open source TUI sql query tool a bit like DataGrip, with autocomplete, syntax highlighting, schema introspection, vim mode/non vim, allows MCP mode so an agent can

Pretty good, we have a huge number of projects, some more modern than others. For the older legacy systems, it's been hugely useful. Not perfect, needs a bit more babysitting, but a lot easier to deal with than doing it solo. For t

gdorsi , it's not that hard to swap really, because the goal, designing systems, just got easier. I feel AI lets you be a system engineer way better as you can quickly iterate. I have the same kinds of goals in mind, just can do it a

hubertdinsk, can't reply directly... but yes lots of niche things, especially in the embedded side, automatic test side. We have a lot of hardware, we control a lot of things, sense a lot of things. There's nothing inherently co

I didn't miss the point, it just feels like the people saying that really aren't using these tools as it just is not my experience at all. I've been a Vim user for multi decades now. There's just no way, it's far

possibly there's cases where maybe you want to change some text or something, but I don't think its faster in vim given you likely don't have that file open, and by the time you get to the file, and location, you could have f

not my experience, they write fast code, and if you ask them to optimize, can pull all kinds of tricks out of the bag. Even with some of the niche stuff I work on, they seem really good.

please see the HN FAQ, this is NOT acceptable for this site.

This is not my experience at all, the AI agents are many many many times faster than what I can do. What anyone can do. It's crazy how quick I can create stuff these days.

vim (neovim these days) for me is my text editor I use to look at code when dealing with AI, more often than not I'm working on a bug list as I test things. I haven't opened my IDE (Jetbrains tools) for nearly 2 weeks now. Only

I think it's AI tools, they are often done as tuis, they work well with text, the cli is a text processing god that is easy to extend with cli utilities, and since you find yourself in the terminal much nicer having TUIs quickly availa
