Having managed GitHub enterprises for thousands of developers who will ping you at the first sign of instability.. I can tell you there has not been one year pre-AI where GitHub was fully "stable" for a month or maybe even a week,

I was giving this the benefit of the doubt as well and was just looking at his older writings that have a little "This article is more than 5 years old" banner above it. Looks totally different indeed.

This is either ChatGPT or the one journalist who influenced all of ChatGPT's writing style.

Could you give some examples? I can only imagine completely proprietary technology like trading or developing medicine. I have worked in software for many years and was always paid well for it. None of it was particularly unique in any way.

I am seriously tired of every other paragraph I read ending in an It isn't just X, it's Y. I'm sure there is something insightful in between this slop but to the author: Please write using your own voice, if I wanted ChatGPT&

Yes, all the time. Yes, those go to production. AI has improved significantly the past 2 years, I highly recommend you give it another try. I don't see the behaviour you describe, maybe if your impression is that of online articles or

The atrophy of manually writing code is certainly real. I'd compare it to using a paper map and a compass to navigate, versus say Google Maps. I don't particularly care to lose the skill, even though being good and enjoying the pr

Looking around on Reddit I see a lot of them have started to get banned, I was able to find the name of it though; Aptilink. An Aptilink viral marketing search yields posts like these; https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork&

One of the better ways to maintain docs I've seen is with tests that let you describe what the inputs and outputs were for an API, and from it the framework generated your docs. (This was Spring Rest Docs) We included aggressive checks

I don't condone it but the best marketing I've ever seen and which gets to the top of Reddit every week is a company that runs a paid IQ test website. They post some type of outrage bait and it always gets traction. Practically no

Looking at my own usage with claude code out of the box and nothing special around caching set up. For this month according to ccusage I have in tokens 0.2M input, 0.6M output, 10M cache create, 311M cache read for 322M total tokens. Seems

Someone had to do it. mcp in bash would make them composable, which I think is the strongest benefit for high capability agents like Claude, Cursor and the like, who can write Bash better than I. Haven't gotten into MCP since early rel

You are correct but developers are not yet ready to face it. The argument you'll always get is the flawed premise that it's less effort to write it yourself (While the same people work in teams that have others writing code for th

Correct enough for me. It certainly doesn't handle every single possible error, likely one of the reasons it works better for me.

I've read these arguments and they make perfect sense; but having tried different projects rewritten in Go vs Python (with Claude & Cursor); Python was just significantly faster, smaller, and easier to understand for Claude. It was

Is there a place where people like you go to share ideas around these new ways of working, other than HN? I'm very curious how these new ways of working will develop. In my system, I use voice memo's to capture thoughts and they b

You write to Claude in the way in which you wrote this comment. The LLM is designed for the most part to be a conversantional partner. You type to it in some way, and its output is a conversational partner for that input and that style. &qu

Not the person you're replying to but this response uses different quotation marks and capitalisation compared to your shallow ChatGPT output from earlier. I took the time to write out what I thought and I'm not going to reply to

I'm on the technical end but to me this looks like just another ChatGPT wrapper with a Booking.com & flight planner API key. Nothing more. Expedia was on the list of ChatGPT plugin developers in 2023. What's stopping you? What

$1,000 is maybe 5$ per workday. I measure my own usage and am on the way to $6,000 for a full year. I'm still at the stage where I like to look at the code I produce, but I do believe we'll head to a state of software development

All true except that CLI tools are composable and don't pollute your context when run via a script. The missing link for MCP would be a CLI utility to invoke it.

Better yet is a system which activates skills in certain situations. I use hooks for this with Claude, works great. The skill descriptions are "Do not activate unless instructed by guidance." Example: A Python file is read or writ

That depends on how you configure or implement your sandbox. If you let it have internet access as part of the sandbox, then yes, but that is your own choice.

There's no PostCompact hook unfortunately. You could try with PreCompact and giving back a message saying it's super duper important to re-read X, and hope that survives the compacting.

I use Claude Code to modify policies for Claude Code. (Think of say the regex auto-allow/deny, but a lot stronger.) I can do that with hot reload of the local development server; It works but it better not make any errors. A setup like
