I am right now at DeepSeek + Claude $20 combo. The former for coding home projects (it's pay as you use is quite cost effective) and the latter mainly for general purpose because I deal with it's relatively more even keeled tone b

It is ridiculous that I can pick up pretty much any average computer, install Linux on it and be on my way in an hour or so but have to go through so many hoops to do the same on Android and even then the results are mixed. We have been rea

I had this exact situation with Citrix workspace refusing to install after my upgrading to the latest Fedora. I had to force install and things did work but I would have preferred to not having to do that. I don't know enough about Hom

I am more curious about how much token budget they have. Here I have to beg my boss for more as if he is paying from his pocket or I am using it for my hobby projects (I am not). I guess time to go back to copy/pasting to chat and doin

The first wave was just getting half decent answers. The second wave was being able to choose between actually getting reasonably ok coding results OR getting not so great results very fast. The third wave would be getting good results fast

My colleague vibe coded a website that looks exactly like this one. Everyone on the meeting loved it - they thought it was cool. These were IT people.

I am the same. Most my projects were infra leaning and I had a very general idea of what I wanted, not clear steps. I learned a ton in the process of cleaning up my home networking, understood network topology and restrictions, how to work

But what about navigating the code by the call stack? I didn't know that GitHub has a way to do that. Or maybe I'm probably coming across as being dumb enough to be talking about still trying to have a mental model of what calls w
