Follow up: Opus is also great for doing the planning work before you start. You can use plan mode or just do it in a web chat and have them create all of the necessary files based on your explanation. The advantage of using plan mode is tha

You have to think of Opus as a developer whose job at your company lasts somewhere between 30 to 60 minutes before you fire them and hire a new one. Yes, it's absurd but it's a better metaphor than someone with a chronic long term

It was bad enough that many people resorted to asking their questions in Discord instead which is a massive boomerang back to trying to get help in IRC and just praying that someone is online and willing to help you on the spot. Having to p

This is exactly the issue that most people run into and it's literally the GIGO principle that we should all be familiar with by now. If your design spec amounts to "fix it" then don't be surprised at the results. One of

Most of SO didn't seem to consist of people talking to each other so much as talking past each other.

The problem that you worked out is only really useful if it can be recreated and validated, which in many cases it can be by using an LLM to build the same system and write tests that confirm the failure and the fix. Your response telling t

I think we are well beyond this mattering. To my knowledge, the era of scraping online sources of training data is over. The focus has been on reinforcement learning and acquiring access to offline data for at least a year or two. Synthetic

A failure in containment at a nuclear waste storage site means danger for people on the site itself but it is easily detected by monitoring equipment and can be repaired, the waste is solid and can't spread easily. A failure in contain

I think the point of contention the article and many people are identifying is that that control and feedback mechanism appears to be somewhat broken as evidenced by many elected officials achieving what amount to lifetime appointments that

I think a much more "American" style of political competition would be to have elected politicians compete at various levels to determine who gets to move on to the next higher position. They already seem to do this informally in

Isn't that just reinventing aristocracy?

I've found that something very similar to those "inefficient" processes works incredibly well when applied to LLMs. All of those processes are designed to allow for seamless handoff to different people who may not be familiar

The only person coming off as unhinged and out of touch with reality here is you.

You don't need all that, just have Claude write the same documentation you would (should) write for any project. I find it best to record things chronologically and then have Claude do periodic reviews of the docs and update key design

I can understand not enjoying an LLM taking over the fun problem solving aspect of programming, I've felt that before. Maybe the same is true for some people when it comes to acting as a manager for an LLM but for me it's the oppo

This dig at the relationships between these companies also seems odd to me. Isn't this fairly normal practice for companies within an industry? There are lots of examples of joint ventures, partnerships, alliances, investment and merge

Your business seems well suited to advertising through short form content so I wish you lots of success with transitioning away from Adwords.

Haha, actually yes. You can prompt them to be their own architect but I do find it works better when you help. You could probably get pretty far by prompting them to review their own code and suggest refactoring plans. That's essential

I'm sorry but I don't quite believe you because I've done exactly this for learning much more complicated topics. For fun I've been learning about video game programming in the Odin programming language using a Claude pr

If you forced them to try it from memory without giving them access to the web you sure would.

Yes, that's an excellent framing of where we're at and the role that LLM generated software is excelling in. Custom software has been out of reach for many people who would benefit from it due to requiring either a lot of money to

The software development market is measured in tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars depending on which parts you're looking at so inventing a better hammer (development tool) can be expected to drive billions of dollars

Good reference and a funny scene but doesn't quite hit home because we have invented improved hammers in the form of pneumatic nail guns and even cordless nailers (some pneumatic and some motorized) which could truly be called an &quot

Or you can apply software architecture methods that are designed to help humans with exactly the same type of problems. Once your codebase exceeds a certain size, it becomes counter-productive to have code that is dependent on the implement

Ok, I can see why they wouldn't list a copilot related stuff since that page is just providing a list of public Amp threads, some of which have public repos. Copilot is a different framework so you wouldn't find it on that page. I

This is a problem but it's a known one which both Google and Anthropic seem to be making progress towards solving. I've had a full on argument with Gemini 3 where it turned out I was wrong and it correctly stuck to its guns and wo

This is dangerous territory we've trodden before when it was taken as accepted fact that animals and even human babies didn't truly experience pain in a way that amounted to suffering due to their inability to express or remember
