Speaking from a UK perspective global warming is now noticeable, hot days are hotter and there's more likely to be a heat wave, and that's changed in the last decade. I assume Germany is the same, many years ago really is differen

Bad architects favour microservices over monoliths. YAGNI almost always applies to microservices, and the coordination overhead and boilerplate they add introduces immense costs, especially for smaller companies. This homogenisation of arch

That's a quant 4 which the thread OP specifically called out as rubbish. The Q4_K_XL bit for those not in the know.

Yeah and you've said yourself, you've already done the hard part. You're overestimating how hard it would be just to copy what you did and apply it rote manually.

I think a problem here is you're overestimating how hard it is to rewrite something when you have one example of how to do it right. Even in the 2000s, I remember a junior essentially rewriting our entire codebase from old school asp v

There's absolutely no way I'd be advising friends or family to run a site vibe coded themself, that's nuts. This is more a problem of your Mum mismanaging her contractors. She should be threatening hellfire down on this contr

It sometimes says that even if it hasn't though, so like everything with LLMs, you can't actually rely on that.

I think it's the same throughout startup software to be honest. It's just easier to point out when there's clear rules. Security, GDPR, backups, build pipelines, disaster recovery, most of it will be faked, half-heartedly don

That era is already long gone. Those things have been built in Wix for over a decade. And since then, I haven't had any friends or family ask me for a simple site. The low-value work is already automated. Your comment is valid, but not

I re-read something I did 6 months ago doing this. It's so obviously AI and had much less value than I thought now I look at it with fresh eyes. Worse it doesn't read like I wrote it, I don't recognize myself in the doc.

With stuff like this, do you honestly not feel that you've probably been tricked and that someone else actually did this? Don't get me wrong, I think AI can do some surprising things, but with stuff like this, often it just stole

The languages I use the IDE literally does this for you, perfectly, deterministically. And instantly, certainly when compared to AI.

It really isn't. No-one wants to maintain these things, they'll be back on an out-sourced provider within 5 years, if they survive that long.

This is technically correct, but practically false. They can't stop training as then the AI's knowledge will become out-of-date very quickly. Their knowledge stops the day you stop training.

I had a similar thing where they were going through my code from a takehome. It was with an architect and a lead developer and the architect was really rubbing me up the wrong way. Stupid nitpicks that were all style preferences. Not at all

It's happening here too, I saw dang hint that they're not even responding to a lot of questions about it anymore because of the volume of the problem. If you browse with showdead on you'll be seeing a lot more of what look li

That's not what we mean when we say that phrase. They actual had the eternal September problem, which they were always going to hit, but managed to stave it off for a decade or so before it became overwhelming. From your perspective as

I've got to the point where sometimes I frame my question as if I disagree with it, just to allow the AI to "agree" with me and actually critique it. "My team mate wants to X, but I feel like that might be a bad idea. Wh

It was pretty regional back then, when I got VMs for clients we used UK providers (ElasticHosts maybe?). Also people are throwing AWS start date of 2006, but AWS only really started catching on around 2008/2009 if I remember correctly.

You've got the wrong end of the stick. I mean CC in a terminal, me in an IDE. Both of us working on the same code side-by-side. Window-by-window in my case. And my IDE isn't infested with AI popups and extra menu items and lost re

Was I not clear? I still have the IDE. I can still flip true to false. Claude is in a terminal, I'm inspecting, reviewing, refactoring in my IDE.

by mattmanser 5mo ago
My setup I can do exactly the same? I get CC to do some work in a terminal window, I inspect and refactor in an IDE, and we bounce back and forth like that. I have 2 monitors, Claude on one, IDE on the other.

Everywhere. You could rent VMs everywhere. And they were cheaper than renting AWS. MUCH cheaper. They still are. The original point of AWS is that could scale according to demand. Have 10 VMs running at lunchtime and 1 VM running at midnigh

I was enjoying the article and then he makes some of the most bizarre claims about what cloud did and how we had to provision servers If any of you young'uns read this, that is not how we had to do provisioning before cloud. VMs alread

Someone mentioned here the other day that when you try and give Claude those tools throughan MCP or skill it tends to go a bit loopy. At the moment it seems like the way it's been trained has been tightly coupled with grep. It does fee

I'm a little the opposite, what's the point of using an IDE with AI? I genuinely don't get it? These days I just use Claude Code Desktop or Claude Code in powershell. Standalone, not inside and IDE. Honestly, I'm using D
