Cline is, hands down, the most effective agentic coding tool out there. I've extensively daily driven any one of them you can name, and there's nothing even close. The reality is that no one knows how any of this stuff should work

There aren't many real geniuses out there now, but he is one of them. The Good Dinosaur is still one of Pixar's most gorgeous looking movies to this day.

Athenians had many subtly different tiers of citizenship. Women of noble birth, whose father had served in the military, were considered "citizens" in the sense that their male children would be considered legitimate, and they wou

Conveniently ignoring the fact that the word "citizen" in Athens referred to wealthy (free) adult males who had completed military service, whose parents were both citizens, and even then not always. It was in no ways representati

The Github based solutions are missing the mark because we still need a human in the loop no matter what. Things are nowhere near the point of being able to just let something push to production. And if you still need a human in the loop, i

This is a wonderful writeup of building a simple agentic system in general. What OP describes is more or less the bare minimum you should be doing at this point to get good (consistent) results from an LLM; single-shot prompting is a thing

Needs checkpointing. A full git commit is too much... commitment. Often you'll go down a bad path with agentic codegen that just falls apart, and you wont know where you wanted to return to until you're there. I'm very skepti

Thats the promise. The reality is that it's just a subpar version of Claude Code which doesn't support MCP.

Becoming disciplined about early returns was lifechanging for me. It will blow your mind how much pointless code you were writing before.

What a joke. Material has been the excessive epitome of form over function form the beginning, but this really takes the cake.

Sure, but who wrote the script? How did they know what to write? The idea is that your agent now does this 100 times faster than a person.

by ramesh31 1y ago
Which responses? For how long? With what level of detail? Those are the questions we are all trying to figure out now, and the performance of your agent is highly dependent on the answer to that.

Again, anecdotally. This point came from a bartender in the east village, who has indeed driven into the city every day for years. Longtime locals who know where to park are not paying $30-40 (in fact that is at the high end of anywhere I&#

This is fine, until it comes time for layoffs. Like it or not, software development is an intensly social enterprise. Of course there are lone geniuses out there doing their own thing, and if that's you great. But it isn't how ent

Claude is still king for coding. Anything else I'm reaching for Gemini these days. The 1M context and the speed makes it way better for writing docs and explaining code.

Cline beats both, and it costs nothing but direct token usage from your LLM provider. Cursor/Windsurf/et. al. are pointless middlemen.

The Liberty ships were little more than motorized barges, with an expected lifespan of about 5 years. Comparing their tonnage to modern shipbuilding is silly.
