That’s a bold claim to randomly write without any supporting sources

Just as long as you speak a major language

(A) I spent day and night using and making tools with and for LLMs. (B) As much as I humanly can.

I think this is the first time I saw someone describe so clearly my concerns and experience with LLMs.

I have little to add to it, except that I agree completely. Not sure what’s next

I expected a “running for beginners” app hah, like for training / endurance

Not sure yet. I’m monitoring it.

However, it is totally viable for internal tools, rapid prototyping, experiments, etc.

Frankly, there’s no faster or cheaper way to get such feature rich apps, and it was certainly better then what a cheap agency from far-away would produce.

Not only was the code better, the whole product was better than what I would have made (before coding LLMs), because he understood the domain, and AI filled in many details that I wouldn’t spent time on. (Again, pre-LLM)

I’m just… multiple times a week I’m sitting at my screen like, wtf will I do? What will my job be? I have plenty of time to think about it while Claude basically handles everything I throw at it.

Good thing I spent months learning to apply skills and such so my value is “experience with using LLM tools” (:

It’s interesting though because the client’s dev team basically refused to look at it, dismissing it as insecure and such.

I realized that the software he had made was actually better than what I would have made, because he understood the problem better than I ever will, Because it was his job to understand the problem, not to write code.

It was the first time I realized that AI can totally replace me in my traditional job of trying to understand client’s wants and needs and convert them into an application by writing some code.

I knew Claude was powerful and spent months creating skills prompts etc but this guy did it from scratch.

A non-technical employee of a client vibe-coded an app and I was asked to review and deploy it.

It was okay, not bad at all. No serious issues.

At the same time, me feeding a whole PDF of feedback from a client - screenshots and such - into Claude, and it fixed everything after 7 hours of reproducing and fixing things mostly unattended, creating a bunch of MRs with fixes. Most fixes were good, some were obviously not what the client wanted but technically correct (which I told Claude and it fixed it)

I tried Darktable a few times and I just couldn’t stand it hah. I’ll try it again, hah, Tnx!

I like that it runs on Linux but coming from Lightroom, it is a challenge to use. I don’t even know how to import photos that are added to a previously imported folder

I never had that happen to me, in all the years I owned it. It also doesn’t randomly wake up and throw my ink away, and sometimes it sits weeks unused. It’s in my home office, so I would know if it randomly wakes up.

The only bad thing is that it can get messy if you select the wrong paper type and the ink will not be absorbed by the paper, making the rollers dirty. That’s annoying but fixable, and preventable by not selecting the wrong paper type.

It behaves like slower ram I assume, due to the increased distance from the CPU and overhead. Still, it’s much faster than normal SWAP which uses a disk or SSD.

How it is reported? As SWAP space, not as RAM.

Epson Ecotank. I’ve been using mine for years and I only had to buy new ink once.

And I printed a lot of photos, notes, documents, etc

You can just download all of Reddit from torrent sites

It’s 0.4 seconds faster than a 50K Model 3 performance.

At that point, does it even matter

time for a day off!

Mass unemployment and wealth inequality

Rails is the worst. It’s so easy to make a mess and it’s hard to debug.

> As far as gaming is concerned Linux just works

Absolutely not. It works, it doesn't "just work". Tuning is absolutely required for a lot of games to get them working. Random crashes, "oh multiplayer doesn't work? singleplayer does?", random glitches, random performance issues, etc.

I still prefer dealing with some issues over dealing with Windows, but it doesn't "just work".

I'm very happy with my Linux install. After almost 2 decades of trying Linux Desktop and falling back to Windows (and MacOS) I've finally switched to Linux (and MacOS).

The only thing missing is my Adobe stuff. I now run Lightroom in a VM and it's incredibly slow to unusable.

This article feels written by Claude

“Use an agent to…” is much more effective in my experience, because they have no means in communicating with you. They are more likely to just do it

Yeah this happens to me all the time! I have a separate session for discussing and only apply edits in worktrees / subagents to clearly separate discuss from work and it still does it

Sonnet is very clearly worse than Opus for a lot of tasks. Sonnet is still awesome, but less so.

How would you know the invocation is correct when written by a human? Don’t humans make mistakes?

Russia is the aggressor, Iran is a defender. That’s a huge difference.

View triggers an event -> Controller receives event, updating the model as it sees fit -> Controller calls render to update views

Model knows nothing about controller or views, so they're independently testable. Models and views are composed of a tree of entities (model) and components (views). Controller is the glue. Also, API calls are done by the controller.

So it is more of an Entity-Boundary-Control pattern.

I use Preact without reactivity. That way we can have familiar components that look like React (including strong typing, Typescript / TSX), server-side rendering and still have explicit render calls using an MVC pattern.

Neat! I was looking for something like this
