100% agree, and I think that's sort of what was intended with a lot of democratic government setups. What we fail to realize though (or maybe just remember) is that these systems will ALWAYS be under attack by those who want more power

You can (and probably should) still do tests, but there's an entire class of errors you know can't happen, so you need far less tests, focusing only on business logic for the most part.

I still do this, but when I'm reviewing what's been written and / or testing what's been built. How I see it is we've reverted back to a heavier spec type approach, however the turn around time is so fast with agent

True, and that's usually what I'm doing now, but to be honest I'm also giving all of it's code at least a cursory glance. Some of the things it occasionally does: - Ignores conventions (even when emphasized in the CLAUDE

I assumed you'd build such a massive set of rules (that claude often does not obey) that you'd eat up your context very quickly. I've actually removed all plugins / MCPs because they chewed up way too much context.

What they are redacting is pretty questionable though. Entire pages being suspiciously redacted with no explanation (which they are supposed to provide). This is just my opinion, but I think it's pretty hard to defend them as making an

Maybe some day, but as a claude code user it makes enough pretty serious screw ups, even with a very clearly defined plan, that I review everything it produces. You might be able to get away without the review step for a bit, but eventually

No doubt, but I (and I suspect many others) rarely update plugins and I have a very select list of plugins that I use (mostly from one guy), and I just use git to manage them. I never see churn, but that might just be me. I assume you could

Linux development has a blueprint they could follow. Like the principle of least privilege. These aren’t cutting edge concepts. Also I’m not sure the tradeoffs of adding security to an editor are that big of a deal. Are we really seeing rev

I wonder if the workers of the time were as responsible for the propaganda as we are... It seems like the ultimate heist when capital can get labour to propagate their own messaging.

I far prefer it to javascript or typescript. I recommend using a coding agent to help you learn it (claude code, gemini cli, codex) if you're interested. Pick a smallish project, prompt your way through it, examining to structure and c

Ruby is lovely. I just prefer static (inferred) types, functional, compiled, and performant languages with managed side effects these days. Bit more upfront effort, but saves a ton of time and stress in the long run.

We may end up using AI to create simplified bespoke subset languages that fit our preferences. Like a DSL of sorts but with better performance characteristics than a traditional DSL and a small enough surface area.

I recently used Gleam + Lustre for a small app that I normally would have built with Elm + PostgREST. It went very well, and I'm now planning to use it for a larger rewrite (of a rails app).

I found the gemini cli extremely lacking and even frustrating. Why google would choose node… Codex is decent and seemed to be improving (being written in rust helps). Claude code is still the king, but my god they have server and throttling
