It's very cool though I imagine it's doa due to lack of git compatibility...

For anything large like this, I think it's critical that you port over the tests first, and then essentially force it to get the tests passing without mutating the tests. This works nicely for stuff that's very purely functional,

Ah yeah, anything that's strictly GUI driven is probably not in a good space right now. Low code, but code first is the ideal spot.

I don't see LLMs as competing with low code at all. Low code solutions make it easier for LLMs to setup something working and robust.

Yes, they push the MS account stuff very hard. I've found Windows so actively hostile to the user that I basically only use Linux now. I used to be a windows user, it has really devolved to the point where it's easier for me to us

Privacy regulations make soft delete unviable in many of the cases where it's useful.

Also, for most people passionate about software, they'd rather be building than testing, especially if pay is at least equal.

I personally find polars easier to read/write than sql. Especially when you start doing UDFs with numpy/et. al. I think for me, duckdb's clear edge is the cli experience. > It is faster to write and faster to read At least

Yeah, i'm also similarly confused. > "SQL should be the first option considered for new data engineering work. It’s robust, fast, future-proof and testable. With a bit of care, it’s clear and readable." (over polars/p

It'd be a very interesting thought experiment to completely redefine the economic and fiscal plan of the US. It'd be interesting if we greatly reduced personal income taxes in the majority of cases. Removed corporate income tax (t

This can't come soon enough. Python is great for CLIs until you build something complex and a simple --help takes seconds. It's not something easily worked around without making your code very ugly.

Ah, I was being facetious, I think it would be pretty funny if it happened though.

Imagine if windows moved to the linux kernel and then used wine/proton to serve their own userspace.

Yeah, I think without a setup that costs 10k+ you can't even get remotely close in performance to something like claude code with opus 4.5.

I think it really depends on how it's used. It's a massive accelerant if it's just helping you stitch stuff together. Or when it helps you get unblocked by quickly finding you the missing api you need. But when it replaces yo

I can't say I've been bottlenecked on it, but I've certainly been bothered by it.

For me, the last wave of models finally started delivering on their agentic coding promises.

Wow, that's a very cool project.

Pretty sure Karpathy coined the term here: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383 Imo, if you read the code, it's no longer vibecoding.

I think what would be interesting is if it could play the game with vision only inputs. That would represent a massive leap multimodal understanding.

Seems like a lot of tokens to waste on a system prompt.

Oh yeah, for sure, I'm more so curious how it could do.
