daliusdon Claude Code vs. Codex: I built a sentiment dashboard from Reddit comments

No MCP support (https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider/pull/3937) makes it less useful than other tools (opencode.ai, Claude Code and etc)

daliusdon Everything that's wrong with Google Search in one image

I have found both perplexity and Claude.ai good enough. Since I pay for claude because of development, why not use it as search engine as well? So maybe the future is multi provider?

daliusdon Development speed is not a bottleneck

I don't know about Aider, I am not using it because of lack of MCP and poor GitHub Copilot support (both are important to me). Maybe in the future that will get better if that will be relevant. I am using opencode.ai with Claude Sonnet 4 usually. Sometimes I try to switch to different models, e.g. Gemini 2.5 Pro, but Sonnet is more consistent for me.

It would be good to define what's "smaller code bases". Here is what I am working one: 10 years old project full of legacy consisting of about 10 services and 10 front-end projects. As well tried it on project similar to MUI or Mantine UI. Naturally on many smaller projects. As well tried it on TypeScript codebase where it has failed for me (but it is hard to judge from one attempt). Lastly I am using it on smaller projects. Overall question is more about task than about code base size. If the task does not involve loading too much context when code base size might be irrelevant.

daliusdon Development speed is not a bottleneck

So you want Aider, Claude Code or opencode.ai it seems. I use opencode.ai a lot nowadays and am really happy and productive.

daliusdon Cursor CLI

Well. Agents use context and context window has limit. If you add too much to context you will get poor result. You can split your task in smaller ones and in result you might get much better result. E.g. migration of tests to new version of library.

Yes. Some ideas. All they are especially useful if you had to work with some non public stuff:

* Search GitHub for ideas how to use API, best practices and etc.

* Convert Figma design to code

* In slack-driver development companies you can even search Slack for ideas

daliusdon Cursor CLI

Because you can script terminal app (ideally, at least you can do that with opencode.ai) and that opens some amazing opportunities.

E.g. aider does not support MCP https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider/issues/3314

I personally found MCP a must for some scenarios

You can get some, but model selection on free tier is smaller

I have tried it and it does.

daliusdon Buttplug MCP

It does not violate guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Is it valuable? Maybe for someone it is.

daliusdon Bored of It

Well it is not propaganda spreading at least. Do we have truly open source model from China in that regard? But really there are niche oss models

daliusdon Bored of It

There is Gemma from Google and various niche models as well. I have not tried to measure exact amount of Chinese vs other, but I guess it is not mainly Chinese.

daliusdon Bored of It

So like any other commercial cloud based system.

daliusdon Bored of It

AI is very open source and very commercialized at the same time. I don't understand your comment.

daliusdon About Google Chrome's "This extension may soon no longer be supported"

> People are paying for LLMs, consumers are no longer a commodity.

Ask your LLM: "How many percents of world populations is paying for LLMs? Any estimates how many will never pay for it?"

Well, difference between 3 and 4 hours meanwhile might be important if robot is noisy.

daliusdon Augment.vim: AI Chat and completion in Vim and Neovim

codecompanion.nvim has some agentic stuff. I don't know if that's at the same level as cursor (I guess not), but it can do some things already.

daliusdon Augment.vim: AI Chat and completion in Vim and Neovim

I have tried to look into avante, but settled on codecompanion:

* codecompanion supports passing buffers, lsp and more. That seems to be really helpful when generating response.

* IMHO, codecompanion is more vimish (if that's the word)...

* Officially avante supports less models

* I have contributed to codocompanion GitHub models support (https://docs.github.com/en/github-models) so you can use some models basically for free with some limits and this is more than enough for daily usage from my experience (caveat that GitHub models are limited to 4000-8000 tokens so if that's problem for you then don't use it). I see avante does not support GitHub models.

daliusdon Zed now predicts your next edit with Zeta, our new open model

Yes, copilot's tab in vim is that made me think that AI is useless. However next iteration of AI coding tools made me rethink this (I am using https://github.com/olimorris/codecompanion.nvim with nvim now).

daliusdon Using coding skills to make passive income

I liked what you have shared. I am in similar position and tried to do the same as you but without success. So it is interesting to check what I can improve.

daliusdon How Baltic and Nordic countries are preparing for a crisis or war

Pretty sure. I am from Lithuania (Baltic country) and here some reasons why Russia might find us worthy to occupy again: it is hard to defend Baltic countries from Russia, we were ruining Russia’s image before it was cool to do, Suwalki corridor

IMHO second answer does not hold water. If you will end up in situation where you are tortured they will torture you until you will you say how to add the backdoor.

daliusdon On finishing projects

I don’t remember which book I got idea from but idea is to work in different modes. When you work as programmer then there are no deadlines and etc. So sometimes you have to put different hat, e.g. CEO hat. It took several months to work out but overall result is reasonably good.
