It's a good deal if you're really really using it, or I guess if you're a blizzard sub (not even sure if this is still a thing). If you're just playing Silk Song now and then, you can buy it for $20 from Steam. I get you

Maybe I'm being too generous then. I suspect it's a mix of both and I'm even a little cynical that there are plenty on the left who secretly like this new age of grift. /shrug

This is unfortunately probably going to be necessary, and should start happening soon while they still have any power. It's been going on like this for decades, since Gingrich IMO. It feels like the idealism of some on the left is fail

I see what you mean. The abstractions I mentioned are pretty much just translations / transformations (immutable) on their own. Keep in mind that most of these are also tied to a version (and versioning is not always clear, not is docu

I could also argue that 20 years ago EJBs made it a lot worse, ORMs made it massively worse, heck Rails made it worse, and don't even get me started on Javascript frameworks, which are the epitome of dead programs and technical debt. I

No doubt. I was thinking Volkswagen, but I'm not sure if that was about love so much as just evoking emotion and humour with design. Apple is the earliest I can relate to at least. My first 13" Mackbook Air was perfect. You defini

Blame Apple, I think they started it decades ago. And yes some people really do love their products.

I exclusively used sonnet when I used Claud Code and never ran into this, so maybe it's an Opus thing, or I just got lucky? Definitely has happened to me a few times with Codex (which is what I'm currently using).

I don't even compact, I just start from scratch whenever I get down below 40%, if I can. I've found Codex can get back up to speed pretty well. I like to have it come up with a detailed plan in a markdown doc, work on a branch, an

I believe it does on newer macs (m4 has neural engine). It's not perfect, but I'm using it without issue. I suspect it'll get better each generation as Apple leans more into their AI offering. There are also third parties lik

On a mac you can just use a hotkey to talk to an agentic CLI. It needs to be a bit more polished still IMO, like removing the hotkey requirement, with a voice command to break the agents current task.

I find myself often writing pseudo code (CLI) to express some ideas to the agent. Code can be a very powerful and expressive means of communication. You don't have to stop using it when it's the best / easiest tool for a spec
