NoDodgeQuestion··on Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions
Bro: superintelligent machine line go up AI AGI software solved automate everything

Also bro: Run /clearbetween tasks. This prevents prior irrelevant context from being sent back to the model, which can reduce token usage. Set your model and effort level before you start. Changing either one mid-conversation can bust your prompt cache, which can increase token cost. @-mention files instead of naming them. The file gets attached to your message directly, which saves a Read call, or a search if Claude has to go find it. Add quiet flags to noisy commands, or run them in a subagent. Command output is added to the conversation just like a file, and stays there for the rest of the session. Run /context once in a fresh session. It shows what's loaded (CLAUDE.md, MCP tool definitions), so you can cut out anything unnecessary. /compact before you take a break from your keyboard. The prompt cache expires after an hour, and summarizing a conversation is much cheaper while it's still cached.

NoDodgeQuestion··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
It is true of many models, if you ask "do you have any questions" they will ask question, even if task is obvious model will make dumb question up. But if you do not ask, they start task and never ask. Maybe it is better to not anthropomorphize the models.

Yes this would be a good benchmark. Many tasks with incomplete requirements, where trying to do the task = fail, asking right question = success.

NoDodgeQuestion··on Dear people who work at the airport
Post title should be, Dear people who design the airport, not Dear people who work at the airport.
NoDodgeQuestion··on Understanding is the new bottleneck
uncovering bottleneck is the new bottleneck!!
NoDodgeQuestion··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
How can system be tuned for a specific model? Model is fungible, often one model strictly greater on both quality and price.
NoDodgeQuestion··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
It would not be an htmx mention without mandatory nchmy datastar mention
NoDodgeQuestion··on Delta
So, DeltaDB is not for Zed, but for an entirely new product? At least it won't bloat the editor...

Nevertheless another Zed post, another plea to focus on basics https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/54150 [how can developers work with agents in zed when developers cannot see files agents create] best luck to Delta but please do not neglect the text editor!

NoDodgeQuestion··on Is it all just vapourware?
You forgot Boot the Dog who simply wakes up periodically to check if the crypto rugpull is ready
NoDodgeQuestion··on Oracle bans AI-generated code from OpenJDK
>Why on earth would I ever want to use SQLite if I have access to a sufficiently advanced code generator which can generate me a similarly high quality database system

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_qzqY1bb7I your sufficiently advanced code generator may generate you a high quality database system for some measure of quality, but it will not have SQLite's reliability over the extremely long tail of edge cases proven through its testing and use in real life

NoDodgeQuestion··on Responding to the next frontier of critical cyber capabilities
Did they say how the artifactory hack worked - did it involve JWTs?
NoDodgeQuestion··on Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open
that is not what orthogonal means
NoDodgeQuestion··on My phone detects going on a run as “someone snatching my phone and running off”
At risk of summoning an army of vibe coders, I wish map apps were more configurable and let you set "I'm happy to walk 20 min" or "someone can drive me a few miles and drop me off"
NoDodgeQuestion··on What Happened to Talenti?
fwiw, as a giant list might be ok, but writing is ai edited
NoDodgeQuestion··on Zed DeltaDB
Are there any fields where you feel managers and workers don't suck?
NoDodgeQuestion··on Born Against, or why hobby programming communities are against LLM usage
Nothing says engineer mindset like calling people "something wrong with them, perhaps on the spectrum of OCD. With a tinge of arrogance or narcissism" and "emotions and irrationality"
NoDodgeQuestion··on Zed DeltaDB
Zed should focus on basics. When it focuses on basics Zed is good.

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/54150 failing to show newly created files and declining to provide a refresh button, instead adding a polling backend, breaks Zed on WSL.

Why a new version control system? Why not git, jj, or another existing system?

NoDodgeQuestion··on The great wealth transfer reality check
If the article is only about the 99%, why are the 1% included in the original 93T figure??
NoDodgeQuestion··on The AI bubble is popping; we just don't know it yet
This is something I have been pondering recently. If I compare the cost of a plunger ($23.99 on Amazon) to a median plumber salary ($62,970 per year per BLS), the difference is orders of magnitude. This feels like a gap that needs to close. I suspect plungers are too cheap right now but will raise their prices to a point where only big companies will be able to afford subscriptions to use them. I think soon we will seen plungers that are only sold at very high prices.
NoDodgeQuestion··on The great wealth transfer reality check
>baby boomers are sitting on at least $93 trillion in assets

> $36 trillion in baby boomer wealth will pass to Gen X and millennial heirs over the next 20 years after subtracting liabilities, excluding the top 1 percent of households (the outliers in how they spend their wealth)

Why the fuck would you be allowed to include top 1% in first number but not second? They are outliers, yes, so what?

NoDodgeQuestion··on 2x, not 10x: coding with LLMs in 2026
What they are saying is there are domains where there's no such thing as an expert who has the unconsious competence to immediately notice the LLM made glaring mistakes.
NoDodgeQuestion··on Our position on open-weights models
It is fortunate that the leadership of Anthropic and OpenAI hate each other. Otherwise, they would merge into a single monopoly and regulate everyone else out of AI.
NoDodgeQuestion··on Worse on Purpose
Keyana Sapp appears to be an AI enthusiast generating AI content for worseonpurpose.com, which their twitter profile neither denies nor confirms.
NoDodgeQuestion··on Worse on Purpose
WorseOnPurpose methodology page does not answer the question: is it claude vomit or not? Are the articles written partially or totally by AI?
