I'll give you an example. When the Bank calls me about something important, I tell them to give me their department / extension and I'll call them back. I then look up the bank's phone number on their website (it's

Subagents suffer from the same overriding problem with "Claude Contexting", which is context wrangling. Subagents "should" help to compartmentalize and manage your context better, but not in my experience so far. I found

A few weeks ago reddit was on fire with outages and timeouts and yet the Anthropic Jira status page was showing everything as green. So even if they had benchmarks, I'm not sure they'd be transparent with them.

Apparently the "bugs" only affected some users... which in itself is kind of worrisome... I suspect the changes they made to limit abusers might have been misclassifying some "good" users. Like shadow throttling. This is

What makes it particularly tricky to evaluate is that there could still be other bugs given how long these went without even acknowledgement until now, and they did state they are still looking into potential Opus issues. I'll probably

And yet, people's complaints about Claude Code over the past month and a bit are now justified by Anthropic stating that those complaints caused them to investigate and fix a bunch of issues (while investigating potential more issues w

Agreed, and I would argue the super quick turnaround time an interactive discussion during a planning phase make this much more enjoyable. I also enjoy discussing solutions with people in real time too. But writing documentation in a vacuum

I don't really. It's not like I use that many, and they are all sort of "complete". This isn't JS where you need to update and change your libraries every 5 minutes.

Translation: The AWS interface is so horrendously complicated that we now need an AI to navigate it. Also, as a daily AI user (claude code / codex subs), I'm not sure I want YOLO AIs anywhere near my infra.

Not really. It's like saying you need a license to write code. I don't think they actually want to be policing this, so I'm not sure why they are, other than a marketing post or absolution for the things that still get thro

Mort is the pragmatist, Einstein is the perfectionist, and Elvis is... let's be honest, Elvis is basically cancer to a project. I guess maybe a small dose of Elvis can help motivate? I see the ideal as a combination of Mort and Einstei

Good to know. I’ll try it out on an upcoming greenfield. Thanks.

I will say though as someone who solo runs their own product business, right now feels like a great time to be building your own thing. No idea if this will last long though.

How is Cursor Agent + GPT5 holding up? I've been on Claude code for a while, but there's been an increase in timeouts and slowdowns recently.

You can do targeted materialized view updates via triggers. It's definitely verbose but does give you a lot of control. I'm currently parking PostgREST behind Fastly (varnish) for pretty much the same benefits plus edge CDNs for m

Claude's Opus pricing is nuts. I'd be surprised if anyone uses it without the top max subscription.

I consider myself to be something of a cynic. That’s not to say I couldn’t be bamboozled in some circumstances.. . but I think it unlikely is this case, because I am simply OK with AI being a complete failure if indeed it is. I don’t have a
