Claude opus is absurdly amazing. I now spent around $100-200 a day using it. Gemini and all the OpenAI models can’t me up right now. Having said that, Google are killing it at the image editing right now. Makes me wonder if that’s because o

Everyone’s all about OpenAI v Google, meanwhile i spend 99% of my day with Claude. It’s less about it having to be a Google product personally, it just needs to be better, which outside of image editing in Gemini pro 3 image, it is not.

It’ not Google that’s dead. It’s the economy in North American markets. I am finding conversion way down, clicks and impressions I’m still getting. People are just being way more fussy before handing over cash. Everyone i talk to is quoting

This is fascinating. I really appreciate the length reply. How do you handle versioning/updates when datasets change? Do the MCPs break or do you have some abstraction layer? What's your hit rate on researchers actually converting

OK this is super practical, thanks for sharing! I'm going to try this out!

I believe you, but can you elaborate? What exactly does MCP give you in this context? How do you use it? I always get high level answers and I'm yet to be convinced, but i would love this to be one of those experiences where i walk awa

Yes this 100%. Every person i speak with who is excited about MCP is some LinkedIn Guru or product expert. I'm yet to encounter a seriously technical person excited by any of this.

When the inexperienced move to become rare and on the frontier, sure they get an advantage but the field doesn’t get the benefit, they do. This is why the early days of Node were awful. So many jr devs (that’s being generous, mostly designe

Couldn’t agree more (but frustratingly due to HN’ shitty mobile experience i downvoted this, sorry!) In a past life i used to complain that people only praised my work after i fucked up and subsequently fixed it. I’d go month on month of gr

Honestly I wish i knew. I find the battery really gets substantially worse after 12-18 months, and eventually I'm living with it plugged in to avoid getting caught with it low when I'm out. Recently I dropped my phone (while in a

You forget, the camera gets better every year! I've had an iphone for 15 years. I mean, it's fine...i just wish there was incentive for durability and sustainability v's replace it every 12-24 months. I guess sustainability c

That’s wild. I fell off my garage roof almost 2 weeks back. My wife called the ambulance, they arrived within 20 minutes. We are in rural Ontario, 30 minutes from the nearest hospital, on a dirt road that is privately owned and maintained.

Growing up in Australia 1 cent pieces were gone before i knew what money was. Coming to Canada in 2009 on a trip, i was shocked to see them. They were annoying and instantly drove me crazy, but i felt bad throwing them out. I threw them out

Sadly i find most software I am building on top of is pretty awful...but i'm working in the real estate world right now, so that is unavoidable.

I tried to escape this world as quickly as possible, realizing how horrible it was, but the largest issue I ran into was around IO. Creating an environment that was highly tolerant to fault while having little to no replication delay meant

I’ve been criticized for this by my coworkers in the past, but I strongly believe that this is generally true and has been for quite a while. Developers, myself included, like to think their code is special, set in stone and going to last f

Interesting, i always see attempts to make these types of database tools as super interesting but then I think about all the undocumented edge cases that can come up and they scare me off. Many many years ago I worked on a monitoring tool t

Yeah, 3.5 was good when it came out but frankly anyone reviewing AI for coding not using sonnet 4.1, GPT-5 or equivalent is really not aware of what they've missed out on.

The second point is more incentive than AI capability i'd argue. Your point presumes that Open Source === Good. I'm not sure that's how all of society feels, unfortunately, so even if AI can do it at some point...it might not

Everyone talks about 4o so positively but I’ve never consistently relied on it in a production environment. I’ve found it to be inconsistent in json generation and often it’s writing and following of the system prompt was very poor. In fact

Mobile ux is completely broken. This would be a 5 min fix with Claude and cursor. Signals to Me that i can expect the backend to struggle with anything basic like a captcha etc.

Well much like I'd say to anyone considering marriage, don't do something you might want to undo later. So hiring is dead easy, until you think through the commitment you're making - hence, hiring (imo) is far from dead easy

lol…try hire someone in Germany. You’ll get it in about 5 minutes. Sincerely, someone in Canada who did this.

Totally correct. In the 90's as a kid in school using a calculator was highly debated amongst teachers and the ability to bring one out on your desk depended on the teacher. In grade 2 i had a teacher who would say "I don't b

Brutal. I’m not sure which way the truth on this lies but the reality is this not the way to go about it. Brian Clapper needs some accountability in this, I’d like to hear why he isn’t backing down or removing the repo.

Are you sure? I found that the subscriptions were hitting limits real fast.

Oh man i love this take. It's how I've been selling what I do when I speak with a specific segment of my audience: "My goal isn't to make the best realtors better, it's to make the worst realtors acceptable". A

Am i missing something? Why don’t people just add an api key to Claude…are the subscription models that much better?
