Am used to communicating to EEs, knew what they should've been looking for and I prompted the models just fine. But you would have to take my word for that.

I meant that in positive sense. Fable's writing was concise and effective without ornamentals. Rather opposite from traditional watery modelese. I rank it better than Codex which is in turn better than Opus. But my outlook on this is f

Interesting. I tried Fable vs Codex 5.5 xhigh on three different cases. 1. A resource leak with unknown cause. Both of them zoomed onto the same potential issue and proposed almost identical patches. Fable missed an edge case that Codex han

Right, just yesterday I found my laptop kinda hot. And what do you think, it was good old Claude deciding to load a few cores with completely idling prompts.

I think it's best to show how exactly it's similar first. It's not even clear what's your angle here. That employment is unironically a form of slavery? Or that advertisement is akin to privateering?

It's tricky. Lotsa nerds in Norway who are interested but not that many available Lispers who are in Bergen area. And our work more or less requires physical presence. We're considering now to hire someone generally good and retra

I think if you drive just the Bergen-Voss-Nordheimsund-Bergen circuit (some 200km?) that alone is 60 tunnels, and many of them are longer than what most countries have.

Most of the Norway's Western coast (basically the extent of the country) is mountainous so building infrastructure there inevitably involves blasting the rock. At the same time the country is huge, bigger than Germany or the UK. So nat

I'm not giving up the career. And I certainly don't feel left behind: I'm good at programming, and I still have a substantial edge over non-programmers here in meaningfully using agents (as of June 2026). The terrible cost re

You're the second person itt using an expression "typing in code". Guys I understand your excitement now that you too finally can make computers do what you want but it's not how programming worked at all.

It just shows you haven't programmed computers much so your opinion is largely speculative.

Yes you have to understand when the log stuck in CNC machine, if you want to put the carpentry analogy to its extreme.

Honestly conflating coding with typing tells me your idea of coding is very different to what I used to do.

That "only" part used to be the hardest. Getting the ideas was never the hard part. I think someone here even wrote an essay on that.

Carpenters would have cried if all their work was reduced to shoving the logs into CNC machines. Yes there is still human input but it requires comparatively no skill or depth and it gets easier by the month. If I were lobotimized today I&#

I have tons of opinions but only a finite amount of money. Which are invested in the most boring way into long positions that am decidedly not liquidating on Monday in an attempt to time the crooks to impress an internet nobody.

Notice how you ignored my question. I’m not sure if it’s malice or comprehension issue. Either way it’s not adding to the strength of your argument.

How do you gauge the tone of the reply I was answering to? You can't really be edgy to people on the Internet and not ever expect a pushback.
