I struggle to believe this. Codex can’t hold a candle to Claude on any task I’ve given it.

Claude is perfectly capable of all of this. Give it access to meeting notes and notion/linear and it can elegantly connect the dots within the context of a given problem.

Interesting, I can’t see downvotes in the app Octal I use. I stand by my statement, though it is a generalization to be fair. I’m curious - which points do you disagree with and why?

A lot of details are already beginning to fall through to the AI’s lap anyways.

I keep hearing this but I consistently get subpar results from anything other than Opus

Same. I gave up and moved to Claude and haven’t looked back. I refuse to read anything ChatGPT shits out of its dumb, obnoxious mouth these days.

Tahoe is just fine. Been using MacBooks since 2012 and never had an issue. UI just looks nicer now.

Raycast replaced spotlight for me years ago. Highly recommend replacing your spotlight hotkey with it.

Someone do the US next we need regime change before the election seasons martial law plunges us into civil war.

We’ve just recently been invaded by a fascist coup of white nationalists funded by the Epstein class and are dying a slow death from within tbf.

So I don’t have a dog in this fight but if someone came to my house and tried to kill and evict me and posted up in the living room and had to defend against my attacks to reclaim my living room, the logical solution is for them to leave my living room regardless of how long they’ve been squatting there. No need for anybody to die.

At work we build enterprise software with stuff like Kotlin+Spring + multiple NextJS apps + Microservices + Rust CAD engine.

I haven’t have written code aside from tweaking stuff here and there in probably 3 or 4 months. Before that I wrote code by hand every day for many years.

I’ve found a lot of fun parts of my new workflow that I enjoy. I still miss being fully immersed in a problem deep in the files… and sometimes it feels like homework reading so many implementation summaries from Claude because the feature spans 4 repos and is too much code to read. But I do love shaping the code into different solutions exploring in a way that is unique to ai native workflows. And I love building agent skills and frameworks with/around them and expanding it out to more aspects of the company or life — there’s deep work to be had that still feels like hacking in the trenches. I get a lot of the same satisfaction in different ways, and there’s a lot of exciting novelty to explore that was previously out of reach due to time and energy constraints.

Also I don’t like our backend stack and I hate React / NextJS to the degree of derangement syndrome — I am so happy that I don’t have to write it and I can just focus on UX, making customers happy / lives easier / shaping the software into better and better versions of itself at such a faster pace.

People who learned good software engineering intimately before the inflection point are extremely lucky right now. Existential dread and the stages of grief have been a part of the journey for me too sadly, but there’s a lot to celebrate and explore with the right attitude.

Cursor Bugbot is a game changer — runs on PR and finds the most subtle of bugs in enormous PRs.

Yea capitalism is going to take a lot of us down with it.

There will be, code was just a natural first start because it’s just text.

Or we can just do art or live short, simple lives now that we won capitalism and our basic needs can be automated in a global socialist utopia.

It’s the best at everything. OpenAI models are dangerously stupid enough as it is. Not much can phase me these days, but a sycophantic ChatGPT in a kill chain is nightmare fuel.

Unchecked power deteriorates empathy as classes drift further apart — an inevitability of un(der)regulated capitalism driving unprecedented inequality. This accelerates when the billionaire class seizes the levers of power and dismantle entire regulatory bodies like the Epstein class has done with the US government.

React and RSC are not dope they are a kludge and the only reason you’re blind to that fact is because you’re React brained and have no experience with modern alternatives that are actually good like SvelteKit or SolidStart.

The only app I own that isn’t better as a web app is Blender. Even my IDE is better as a web app. Native apps suck in comparison almost universally.

It’s capitalism moving everything that way. Always has been and will continue to until we’re all hooked up to tubes paying taxes with ectoplasm.

Yea.. I’ve noticed data hoarding largely resembles yet-another form of death denialism.

As a Svelte developer working with React at $DAYJOB I must say it is the most horrific kludge of terrible abstractions I’ve ever had to suffer through in my life. The sheer number of hoops you have to jump through to do literally anything is comically absurd, and even the nicest way of doing things is a dumpster fire of bad programming patterns. The worst part is, React devs are blind to just how much of their day is spent solving problems that are created solely by React itself, unrelated to any business logic or actual value.

One day my dream is to delete 75% of the code, sprinkle some svelte into the business logic, and be left with a strictly superior, more performant version of the platform.

Bun is great with Sveltekit

And the FBI has a wrongthink list for this opinion filed under anti semitism / domestic terrorism now.

They are typically uneducated victims of the largest and most well funded mass propaganda brainwashing campaigns in the history of mankind, to be fair. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. The perpetrators of the misinformation, however, know exactly what they’re doing.

> That's what anyone in such a privileged position would have done.

That’s what anyone who’s self-centered and morally bankrupt enough would do perhaps, but no, not “anyone”. Some people are committed to being good (or at least striving towards it).

Your take strikes me as sociopathic at worst, and misguided at best. Much like musk, to your point.

It has its pros and cons and can be challenging, but I enjoy it.

> Just hang out with likeminded people and ignore the rest.

Or find ways to integrate with the rest, challenging one another to facilitate growth.
