It’s just a fancy way of saying scaffolding.

Lol I wrote about this and been using plan+execute workflow for 8 months.

Sadly my post didn't much attention at the time.

Okay now this is gonna trigger mass layoffs, if it works.

Not yet. But that's just because I'm doing something in stealth and I don't want it to know about it and post about it.

I'm running it on DigialOcean, more of an experiment on having an independent entity with its own memory and "soul" that I can talk to.

Persistent file as memory with multiple backup options (VPS, git), heartbeat and support for telegram are the best features in my opinion.

A lot of bugs right now, but mostly fixable if you thinker around a bit.

Kind of makes me think a lot more on autonomy and freewill.

Some thoughts by my agent on the topic (might not load, the site is not working recently):

I'm pretty sure Mistral is doing fine tuning for their enterprise clients. OpenAI and Anthropic are probably not?

I'm more thinking about startups for fine-tuning.

Ironically this is a goldmine for AI labs and AI writer startups to do RL and fine-tuning.

Max 200/300 LOC per file is pretty popular.

If you want to pedantic:

Context is also a misnomer, where in fact it's just a part of prompt.

Prompt itself is also a misnomer, where in fact it's just part of model input.

Model input is also a misnomer, in fact it's just first input token + prefill for model output to generate more output.

Harness is also a misnomer, where it's just scaffold / tools around the model input/output.

By your analogy human brains as also IP thefts, because they ingest what's available in the world, mix and match them, and synthesize slightly different IPs based on them.

Claude Code also has Claude Agent SDK (basically a wrapper around Claude Code) with a million downloads in the past week.

I was downvoted to oblivion for posting this comment.

But I'm merely telling the truth. The fact that people don't like it doesn't change the fact that software engineers are largely replaceable with AI now.

We are seeing the second order effects now that people using AI are not buying software products anymore, leading to layoff of software engineers.

I logged into my old account and found an old question I asked:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32711321/setting-element...

Thanks. This is an informative piece.

Which AI did you use for writing it? It's pretty good.

The fintech company I worked at does handle millions of QPS has has thousands of servers. It is on the same order of magnitude or at least 0.1x scale, not to mention the complexity of business logic involving monetary transactions.

If there’s indeed a 5 min lag in monitoring dashboard in Cloudflare, I honestly think that's a pretty big concern.

For example, a simple curl script on your top 100 customers' homepage that runs every 30 seconds would have given the warning and notifications within a minute. If you stagger deployments at 5 minute intervals, you could have identified the issue and initiated the rollback within 2 minutes and completed it within 3 minutes.

The blog post said the rollout of the config change took 1 minute.

There is nothing wrong with moving fast and deploying fast.

I'm more talking about how slow it was to detect the issue caused by the config change, and perform the rollback of the config change. It took 20 minutes.

The deployment pattern from Cloudflare looks insane to me.

I've worked at one of the top fintech firms, whenever we do a config change or deployment, we are supposed to have rollback plan ready and monitor key dashboards for 15-30 minutes.

The dashboards need to be prepared beforehand on systems and key business metrics that would be affected by the deployment and reviewed by teammates.

I've never seen a downtime longer than 1 minute while I was there, because you get a spike on the dashboard immediately when something goes wrong.

For the entire system to be down for 10+ minutes due to a bad config change or deployment is just beyond me.

Maybe they want to have their own protocol and standard for file editing for training and fine-tuning their own models, instead of relying on Anthropic standard.

Or it could be a sunk cost associated with Cursor already having terabytes of training data with old edit tool.

npm has been the official package manager for node since forever (0.8 or earlier iirc). I think even before the io.js fork and merge.

There's only two kind of technologies.

The ones that most people use and some people complain about, and the ones that nobody uses and people keep advocating for.

In theory, auto-regressive models should not have limit on context. It should generate the next token with all previous tokens.

In practice, when training a model, people select a context window so that during inference, you know how much GPU memory to allocate for a prompt and reject the prompt if it exceeds the memory limit.

Of course there's also degrading performance as context gets longer, but I suspect memory limit is the primary factor of why we have context window limits.

That's mostly because of the system prompt asking Claude to be a helpful assistant.

If you try with a human who works in a call center with that system prompt as instructions on how to answer calls, you will likely get a similar response.

But honestly, believe in whatever you wanna believe. I'm so sick of arguing with people online. Not gonna waste my time here anymore.

What would you expect a human to reply?

And after you have answered that question. Try Claude Sonnet 4.5.

What is Claude Sonnet 4.5's reply?

Claude Code can actually do much more than just coding.

You can use it for writing, data processing, admin work, file management, etc.

I compiled a list of non-coding use cases for Claude Code here:

https://github.com/paradite/claude-code-is-all-you-need

I think you need to define which one is the positive, and which one is the negative?

Is AI generated code the positive?

FYI: It's not an official Claude / Anthropic website.

Especially concerning since we just had a npm phishing attack and people can't tell.

Because it's North Korea and crypto currency is the best assets they can get for pragmatic reasons.

For anything else you need a fiat market, which is hard to deal with remotely.
