I was referring to the "land" verb choice, aka a clear Claudism. In fact looking at it more carefully, the whole post seems to be heavily AI written with minimal human intervention.

Clear Claudism. It wants to "land" everything, everywhere.

The single most disappointing fact about (more or less) all text editors on the market today is how god awful their performance is. For most text editors, and when I say most I really do mean _most_, you can very easily start seeing noticea

Opus 5 is better than Fable 5 except for creative programming work (like graphics). Fable 5 might be slightly better but the token cost isn't worth it.

You can easily trip it up if you're doing reverse engineering work. From memory, the moment Fable 5 saw anything loosely related to "linux seccomp" it threw a fit.

Because the performance of existing web frameworks is... _absymal_. They are nowhere close to how fast they can be. And I don't mean slower by a bit, I mean close to a factor of 10x. My in-house framework can serve 600-700k requests&#x

I've already stated this on the last Omarchy thread, the way DHH is implementing it is highly irresponsible and insecure. Half of his "distro" are essentially shell scripts where it's extremely easy to create accidental

It's also hilarious how poorly defined so many laws are. So many loopholes and bugs everywhere. Probably because most lawyers/politicians are effectively illiterate when it comes to logic.

Less is more. When you end up creating something try to strip away all the bloat and only use the essentials (nav bars/menus) and then iterate on that with fonts that you like or pleasing colorschemes. My best go to piece of advice is

Sadly it could be a result of xenophobia and discrimination due to your nation of origin. Very common in tech circles. If someone from San Francisco proposes it, it's a glorious idea, if not, it's junk.

Yep. Considering LLMs spit out Rust/C++ faster & better than Bash no idea why they went this route.

If they're going agentic and using the stack that they're using (qt/shell scripts?) they'll never patch it in full, if ever. The thing is almost certainly full of injection/forgery attacks, on top of being bloated t

It's a shame because DHH seems to be going fully agentic (or at least that's his public stance), so no idea why he isn't rolling a proper distro. Looking at his repo it's just pure shell scripts (why?) and using prebuilt

"smallest possible" is exactly one instruction; possibly 0xc3 [ret] or 0x90 [nop]; the problem lies in how you define "complete Windows application", because the answer really differs depending on if you want to make it

by rfgplk 2mo ago
API costs are simply too high. If you go wild you can easily burn $3-5k a day. If you really hammer it (ie going full parallel agentic) you can exceed $10-20k. And this isn't even going crazy. Those costs are simply too high to make an
