But they don't have the same human in the loop though.

Your $5,000 PC with 2 GPUs could have bought you 2 years of Claude Max, a model much more powerful and with longer context. In 2 years you could make that investment back in pay raise.

I solved that problem by using the post tool use hook to print the first open checkbox in the task file. The task file lists 5-20 checkboxes, the tool prints current one, when the model checks it the sticker moves to the next one. Like an i

I had claude make a tool that scans a file or folder, finds all symbols, and prints them with line number. It can scan a whole repo and present a compact map. From there the model has no issue knowing where to look at. We really have to thi

I am going lower level - every individual work item is a "task.md" file, starts initially as a user ask, then add planning, and then the agent checks gates "[ ]" on each subtask as it works through it. In the end the tas

I have a tool that scans all code files in a repo and prints the symbols (AST based), it makes orienting around easy, it can be scoped to a file or folder.

This is the reimplementation scenario for agentic coding. If you have a good spec and battery of tests you can delete the code and reimplement it. Code is no longer the product of eng work, it is more like bytecode now, you regenerate it, y

The fundamental problem wit RAG is that it extracts only surface level features, "31+24" won't embed close to "55", while "not happy" will be close to "happy". Another issue is that embedding sim

I went through it twice, once for classical ML engineering work (used to build bespoke models, not just prompt), and second time for coding.

Me too, I already exported my data from all platforms including HN and indexed them in a RAG database but I don't feel like using them much. They are past oriented and I need present oriented stuff. With LLMs I noticed I don't lik

Another possibility is to implement the same spec twice, and do differential testing, you can catch diverging assumptions and clarify them.

I think the kind of judgement required here is to design ways to test the code without inspecting it manually line by line, that would be walking a motorcycle, and you would be only vibe-testing. That is why we have seen the FastRender brow

That's my main usage for LLMs, they are usually intellectual sparring partners or researching my ideas to see who came up with them before and how they thought about them. So it's debate and literature research.
