This is also my experience using both via Augment Code. Never understood what my colleagues see in Claude Opus, GPT plans/deep dives are miles ahead of what Opus produces - code comprehension, code architecture is unmatched really. I d

For me GPT always seems to get stuck in a particular state where it responds with a single sentence per paragraph, short sentences, and becomes weirdly philosophical. This eventually happens in every session. I wish I knew what triggers it

I feel the same way. Given it's AI-written, looking at the code isn't even worth it to me. I would rather read a blog post about how they develop it day to day.

That's not it. Flame wars are as old as the internet. The quality of discourse has plummeted largely due to these factors: 1) democratization of access to an audience and 2) engagement maximization algorithms. Anyone with a hot take ca

Focusing on "copying" seems like missing the forest for the trees. There's the copyright angle, but copyright laws are unnatural obstacles designed to give the original author some control over what happens after publishing.

This is entirely based on the "agent skills" system. LLM agent only sees the one-line skill description in its context and "lazy loads" the rest of the skill file on demand.

Far better results compared to GPT 5.4 and Opus 4.6. Not great for execution due to speed but has consistently had better comprehension of the codebase. Maybe it's a case of "holding it wrong" regarding the other models but t

We're using Augment Code heavily on a "full rewrite of legacy CRM with 30 years of business rules/data" Laravel project with a team size of 4. Augment kind of became impossible to avoid once we realized the new guy is ou

Not in disagreement, but based on how casually the frontpage throws around terms like "X25519 keypair", it is obvious that mass adoption and ease of use aren't among the goals of this project. Looks more like an exploration o

I would fault nginx here instead. Tilde-suffixed backups is an old convention used by vim and emacs among others. Definitely older than nginx.

Cool tip - never knew this. I always figured piping to `tee` is a must in order to view-and-save command output at the same time. Turns out I can do "command >&1 >file.txt" instead!

The biggest roadblock to using agents to maximum effectiveness like this is the chat interface. It's convenience as detriment and convenience as distraction. I've found myself repeatedly giving into that convenience only to realiz

> We do not optimize for time spent in ChatGPT. So ChatGPT constantly ending all responses with tangents and followups is not for engagement?

Been using git since 2008, and this looks more intimidating than helpful. git rebase takes a list of patches and applies them one by one on top of a given "base" commit. And that's it. It's not all this complicated git c

The tech that you are defending is going to put your profession out of work. If you can write a prompt that gets you exactly what you have imagined for your movie, then your entire craft has been obsoleted and can now be achieved by anyone

You're romanticizing, sadly. Every time I see someone scratching off numbers, I see a twisted industry exploiting human hopefulness and naivety. Dreaming costs nothing.

I really tried to get into the vibe coding thing - just describe the thing I need in human language and let the agent figure it out. It was incredible at first. Then I realized that I am spending a lot of time writing clarifications because

Implicitly you appear to be saying that we need to reach that point before action is taken?

I upvoted but I was not taught this! I have had to slowly figure it out on my own. Writing things down is kind of like augmenting your brain. It's a memory that does not forget. When working through a problem, writing it down tends to

I don't disagree but I feel like having spent a couple of decades filtering bad Linux advice on sketchy forums has honestly built up some resilience.

Yeah, this is just an algorithmic feed - or, at least, the first attempts. After a while you'll stop asking questions yourself and just scroll the feed, just like you do on every other platform.

I recently learned that Tiktok has a thing called "Streak Pets". Imagine taking a dopamine addiction-inducing activity and imagine gamifying that to maximize engagement in that activity. Imagine the brainstorming sessions at Tikto

First step is recognizing the problem. It'll now be easier to recognize when you've slipped into that mode and stop. Second step is breaking the habit. Literally, you need to start spending that time on something else. Your behavi
