I used to use ghostty's applescript and built that into a claude skill. It worked like a charm. But this feels super interesting for programmability

cat-whispereron The Cost of Indirection in Rust

I wouldn't have agreed with you a year ago. async traits that were built with boxes had real implications on the memory. But, by design the async abstraction that rust provides is pretty good!

cat-whispereron We mourn our craft

> We’ll miss the feeling of holding code in our hands

I agree, I started feeling this a few months ago, where I was only writing the architecture and abstractions and letting AI fill in the gaps. It seems in the next few months it could probably do more than that. But is it so bad, I agree that I can't really mold an entire pot by my hand any more. But, if you ask AI to do it, it will create a pot with cracks in it and it would be your job to either plaster it of fill gold in those cracks.

I feel coding is going to be similar to kintsugi after this is all over

cat-whispereron HTTP Cats

cat-whispereron Show HN: Ever wanted to look at yourself in Braille?

cat-whispereron Anthropic made a mistake in cutting off third-party clients

if you make something - you want people to use it right?

cat-whispereron Anthropic made a mistake in cutting off third-party clients

I don't think I agree with this claim. Also, they didn't cut-off anyone. You can still use their API as you wish. It's out there for anyone who wants it.

They simply stopped people from abusing a accessibility feature that they created for their own product.

cat-whispereron Think of Pavlov

Adding to this: socially awkward people shouldn't feel pressured to mute themselves.

cat-whispereron Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions

I am curious, I haven't faced any major issues using claude code in my daily workflow. Never noticed any flickering either.

Why do you think opencode > CC? what are some productivity/practical implications?

cat-whispereron Embassy: Modern embedded framework, using Rust and async

I agree. the type safety that it brings to the HAL. it's a like cushion for people entering this space.

never understood what a watchdog is tho...

its' time for government owned agencies to be more open to integrating intelligent systems. I would prefer if this happens in india too.

cat-whispereron Gmail AI gets more intrusive

I agree, but on the same level. The interface of email client and sheets client is so intuitive. It should be a interesting engineering problem to implement AI for these tools.

spreadsheet truly is a universal interface for number crunching, and not being able to use AI inside sheets is a bummer.
