zackify··on Anthropic acquires Stainless
and this is why i use pi.dev and hotswap models and have no reliance on a single provider
zackify··on MCP Hello Page
I hate the MCP rules so much. That I made cookie based auth work by just passing stuff through mimicking the oauth flow.
zackify··on A few words on DS4
Are you on q2?
zackify··on Software Developers Say AI Is Rotting Their Brains
lol most prs i made are under 500 lines. who is allowing 3k slop per pr what kind of development philosophy is that
zackify··on God Damn AI is making me dumb
I agree with your sentiment. I've been trying to get from plan -> complete with AI and it's been working very well in a sandbox.

I am trying super hard to give the tools to validate everything to AI.

I finish by opening a draft PR and then I go through doing a deep review myself.

If I didn't already have 10+ years experience, it would be hard to learn and not atrophy with easy shortcuts being so available.

You still need people who know stuff in detail and can own the code... for now

zackify··on Removing the modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 hybrid
I use android auto through grapheneos thankfully! this is crazy!
zackify··on Software Developers Say AI Is Rotting Their Brains
I feel the same way.

Even if I'm reviewing more, I built the feature without even opening my editor.

My workflow is:

1. Plan mode 2. Read thoroughly or skim if its an easy task 3. /draft command that puts a draft PR on github 4. Review closely then send to team

zackify··on Claude.ai unavailable and elevated errors on the API
I have enterprise so its always usage which makes it possible for me. And then the other subs I can toggle between which is awesome.

I live in the terminal. Before AI I always preferred it so it suits me

zackify··on Claude.ai and API unavailable [fixed]
I use openai team plan whenever its down because its down so much lol
zackify··on Claude.ai unavailable and elevated errors on the API
pi for the win, i have my own ai extend it when i want more specific features. vibe coded in 20 minutes shift+tab like claude code to add permission control.
zackify··on Sawe becomes first athlete to run a sub-two-hour marathon in a competitive race
I agree with you. I used maurten 160, 320, and the gels years ago.

Now I just throw honey into water on my runs.

It doesn't upset me even though maurten does feel a little better, its worth saving tons of money over buying maurten

zackify··on Google Flow Music
This thing is insane i already made multiple songs in english and spanish, different genres
zackify··on Show HN: I've built a nice home server OS
I do the same thing. Being immutable is supposed to be great for updates. New image version and if there's a problem you can boot back to the last version no problem.

But functionally, like you I find Ubuntu server fine. I run apt update and upgrade a couple times a year and its local only with tailscale access.

I find these immutable OS's really nice on laptop or desktop. The home directory is the only thing that can be written to so the OS is supposed to be more stable and can't break easily

zackify··on GPT-5.5
What's a syncing interface?
zackify··on GPT-5.5
I use pi.dev.

I get openai team plan at work.

Claude enterprise too.

I have openrouter for myself.

I use minimax 2.7. Kimi 2.6. And gpt 5.5 and opus 4.7. I can toggle between them in an open source interface that's how I stay able to not be trapped.

Minimax is so cheap and for personal stuff it works fine. So I'm always toggling between the nre releases

zackify··on Show HN: Agent Vault – Open-source credential proxy and vault for agents
Completely unaffiliated but I just installed executor.sh today and it looks almost exactly the same
zackify··on I am building a cloud
That's insane funding so congrats.

Just shows I'm the Dropbox commentator. I have what exe provides on my own and am shocked by the value these abstractions provide everyone else!! One off containers on my own hardware spin up spin down run async agents, etc, tailscale auth, team can share or connect easily by name.

on omarchy ill switch with super + / and use 1x, 1.6x and 2x when needed.

1.6x works surprisingly well now, that wasnt the case a couple years ago

zackify··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
DHH has been using omarchy with pantherlake getting 16+ hours
zackify··on Qwen3.6-Max-Preview: Smarter, Sharper, Still Evolving
Recently it had great limits but this month I'm trying open router directly.
zackify··on Qwen3.6-Max-Preview: Smarter, Sharper, Still Evolving
I'm using pi the same as you. However, I have an MCP I need to use and the popular extension for that support works fine for me.

Really liking pi and glm 5.1!

zackify··on Tesla tells HW3 owner to 'be patient' after 7 years of waiting for FSD
I'm one of these unlucky owners. I can't believe I'll ever get anything.

After paying the full cost and being stuck on old software that had a promise of having the hardware required for it

zackify··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic coding power, now open to all
always inside claude code, just using ollama, takes 2 seconds
zackify··on Put your SSH keys in your TPM chip
I'd rather have them in 1password because I use too many different computers and it is perfect for that and with ssh agent forwarding
zackify··on Anthropic downgraded cache TTL on March 6th
This is a funny cat and mouse game. They offer a built in loop command.

Just tmux and use that.

Soon if they drop -p people will just vibe code in 5 minutes a way to type inside it remotely similar to their own built in remote access tool. Seems like a losing game from anthropics side

zackify··on Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI
not op either, github actions, self hosted runner on bare metal with lxc containers for each runner.

Cost savings are insane and the speed of latest amd epycs are miles ahead of the default ci instances on github and other places.

zackify··on Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI
interesting that was what i thought this was, it keeps boggling my mind the sums being paid for what really could be built by experienced devs on their own teams
zackify··on Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI
yeah super confused, it looks like some tools to manage vms in ci? what is unique about that vs lxc or docker or apple's native container cli?
zackify··on Launch HN: Twill.ai (YC S25) – Delegate to cloud agents, get back PRs
I strongly believe all of these projects are unnecessary.

Install LXC on a server Start a container called dev

Add 25 lines to your zshrc

I say dev1 and it spins up fresh

Dev2 copies from that and is a fresh container.

Auto uses tmux.

Claude code with bypass mode. Do anything. Close laptop. Come back later.

Even have a lock mode blocking all internet access except to the llm provider.

Ssh key agent forwarding through 1pw CLI so it can't even push to github unless I reconnect.

I feel like the Dropbox quote years ago but its a lot easier than people think, and its weird to delegate to another service something that a dev should already understand how to do.

All I have to do to have the same issue to PR flow is open dev1. Open Claude. Have GH CLI and task system MCP.

Do /loop watch for new ticket assigned to me and complete it and push it up.
