smrtinsert··on Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
I'm probably very out of date here, but I thought domains weren't allowed to be purchased programmatically due to misuse, crime, fraud etc. Why is it allowed now just because of agents? This is bonkers to me.
smrtinsert··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
Yeah absolutely embarassing take. If I had a nickle for every time someone sent me some AI garbage that was supposedly "thoroughly vetted and cross checked agent output", I'd be at least a thousandaire (gotta keep it real).

There are strengths, but if you think its writing stream of code and just using it as is, I would LOVE to compete against you.

Can I push to production anytime I want? I can run 10000 agents then no problem. I'll just move fast and break things and I'll get massive cheers because its AI.
smrtinsert··on AI deleted my most tests, and said "All Tests Pass"
Did the author say which model and harness handled the first attempts? Codex at the end ok but what did he try the rest with?
smrtinsert··on I scraped 1.94M Airbnb photos for opium dens, pet cameos, and messy kitchens
On what grounds is there a lawsuit? Hasn't scraping been classified as legal?

smrtinsert··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
> The problem is millions of years of evolutionary wiring makes us see it as alive

Maybe for laymen, but I would think most technologists should understand that we're working with the output of what is effectively a massive spreadsheet which is creating a prediction.

> "NEVER FUCKING GUESS"

It's very hard to treat this post seriously. I can't imagine what harness if any they attempted to place on the agent beyond some vibes. This is "most fast and absolutely destroy things" level thinking. That the poster asks for journalists to reach out makes it like a no news is bad news publicity grab. Just gross.

The AI era is turning about to be most disappointing era for software engineering.

smrtinsert··on Nobody got fired for Uber's $8M ledger mistake?
Did the author even mention what they thought should have been used instead?
smrtinsert··on OpenClaw isn't fooling me. I remember MS-DOS
pi.dev I'm much more interested in. Closer to the bone, or maybe better said, pi.dev is more like a lego and OpenClaw seems like a big Ninjago set.

I was shocked when I saw the guy behind libgdx was also behind pi.dev. Random tech worlds colliding.

smrtinsert··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic Coding Power, Now Open to All
How true is this? How does a regulated industry confirm the model itself wasn't trained with malicious intent?
smrtinsert··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
Some truth to that. I hear it thrown around the office and everyone feels obligated to out agent each other (without actually proving a great use case)

For myself I don't need autonomous agents. I need a smaller version of Claude Code instead (the mcp client not the coding agent) that can run on local models that are under 24B params. I still need to try pi dev.

smrtinsert··on Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it
At some point virtue signaling is fixing symptoms of the problem. Always had a problem with master slave terminology happy to see it gone.
smrtinsert··on Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it
Deep copilot integration feels so intrusive. It pops up with your recent files. What if they were my bank accounts or api keys? Whoever thought that would be a good use experience should be fired.

gguf or mlx? edit, just tried a community mlx and lm studio said it didn't support loading it yet.

Number 2 makes me chuckle honestly. Too many people going down the 10x rabbit holes on youtube. Next up, a framework that 100xs your workflow. You know its good because it comes with 300 agents and 20 mcp servers and 1200 skills
smrtinsert··on Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage
Short answer no. Less short answer, the science is catching up to big ones quickly.

forget the warning, just compact like someone suggested in the ticket. Who would opt for a massive cache miss?
smrtinsert··on Anthropic downgraded cache TTL on March 6th
I will say I have noticed none of these things in my enterprise account. Is this is a known targeting of non-enterprise clients only?
smrtinsert··on JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware
The cost of building your own tool here is practically 0 these days. Why even bother trusting another party at all.

The article talks about a specific solution they came up with. No way is this a representative example, they discard a typical pattern way at the top.

smrtinsert··on Spring Boot Done Right: Lessons from a 400-Module Codebase
Nothing about Spring forces you to use or engage in or use design patterns. If it does im pretty sure that's a plus. Juniors can have clear path towards being productive and feel quickly oriented.

Like sibling comment mentioned you can integrate anything with Spring Boot. Its a high productivity framework to accomplish alot. Your frustrations speak more to the job you took rather than the framework they forced you to use.
