No codex catches genuine bugs here that multiple reviewers would have overlooked, whilst copilot only comes with nitpicks. And codex does none of those, which is also great.

Nice! However I would actually advocate for fixtures in application code. I’ve seen too much drift otherwise. And creating “scale” is also easy, just add a for loop :). No programming in yaml needed. As an added benefit you can use the same

We literally followed his “bad” analogy for driving by doing software teaming aka mob pair programming. You switch drivers every 10m or so. It can be great. Everyone learns a lot about the feature and the codebase fast. But it can feel slow

Indeed. I have a tiny wrapper around the llm cli that gives it 3 tools: read these docs for program X, read its config and search-replace in said config. I use it for adopting Ghostty for example. I can now ask it: “how do I switch between

Speed. It's an order of magnitude faster, at least.

Not sure that’s the same. They just very frequently retrain and “deploy a new model”.

Also the format seems quite badly written. Ie. those “quick references” are actually examples. Several generic sentences are repeated multiple times in different wording across sections, etc.

I have piped diffs into an(other) LLM and asked: is this a pure refactor or did things actually change? It usually gives quite good analysis…

We have a GH workflow that spins up Claude with a prompt like this and it works quite well: — You are going to create a summary of the important changes for a PR created by dependabot: 1. Read the body of PR $ARGUMENTS with the `gh` cmdline

So what makes this agent any different than using Claude Code with those MCPs? They talk about making it “custom to the project”, but don’t show that?

No, the GDPR is making _them_. Gating content behind "consent" for tracking isn't allowed. They have the choice to then show content with generic trackers.

Yes and yes. I find that you can really let it rip (vibe) on something greenfield, but you’ll have to take a more measured approach once something gets off the ground. I use it daily on our 10yo production repo with success.

uv tool beats brew for me. Certainly by a factor of 100 for install time :)

But why stick with the AIDEV- style? I mean, this is what comments are for: explaining the why that can’t be read from code. You could just make it a regular comment, right?

Interesting, but am I the only one the find “memory” a bit out of place here (and it is all over the article). It seems that is just needs a threshold value of vapour, right?

Same, but put that in a llm-upgrade.sh because the list was getting quite long :)

Can’t wait for the same “exploit” being reported for a (Google) calendar MCP and someone sending a malicious invite…

Cool! When you say “pricing system”, what is it pricing? Is it determining the price in a webshop? Or for bidding ads or so?

I use Gemini Pro 2.5 from Zed sometimes. But whilst it is good at higher level architecture on a lot of context, it is quite bad at 1) generating the correct diffs that Zed can apply and 2) at continuing. It just doesn’t seem to get “tool u

Not cash != credit. I haven’t paid in cash (except for a flee market) in years. Actually I rarely use anything but my phone to pay here in The Netherlands. But the notion that you’d need credit or a creditcard for that is absurd. And I thin

If you “are going to go without then”, there’s apparently no value in it. So should also not matter if it goes away.

Exactly the reason I stay away from it. I prefer just SQL and something like aiosql to load it.

It is very likely that such a deal isn’t fully in cash. Maybe it’s 50/50, but probably a large part will be in stocks.

I guess trackers really are an American thing? I’m in solar for ten years in The Netherlands, and I don’t think any utility scale fields use tracking. For residential roofs east-west placed systems have been an option for the same amount o
