Is there a way to use your Claude Max plan? I checked my token usage (ccusage) if I wasn't on a plan, and last month it would have been over $2000. This constraint prevents me from realistically considering alternatives to Claude Code.

The problem is the training corpus tends towards mediocre code. But with an agentic loop that analyzes the code against those criteria and suggests changes then I think it might be possible. I wouldn't try to get it to generate that ri

I wonder how many of these rules can be incorporated into a linter or be evaluated by an LLM in an agentic feedback loop. It would be nice to encourage code to be more like this. I notice you didn't really talk much about types. When I

Yes, ADHD definitely seems to correlate with high openness and low conscientiousness. I've also found most self-help and productivity advice to be useless.

I've seen DISC and Kolbe used at companies I have been at. I've learned that I have a low tolerance for structure and work best on large projects with lots of unknowns and autonomy. Explains why I've always preferred startups

This makes perfect sense. If people were getting more organic business conversions they wouldn't pay for advertising as much.

Also, I really wish social media platforms provided better tools and didn't have policies that penalized you for deleting followers that are bots or junk followers. As a Las Vegas photographer that works primarily with models, I often

A lot of these social media promotions work by having people with high follower counts blast you out and try to get their followers to follow you. The problem is that it is not an audience that would normally be interested in or engage in y

I've had very similar thoughts and have wrote about them here. I would be interested in discussing more. https://github.com/brennancheung/wasmtalk Some key takeaways from the above link: - The programmer's t

Just got this text from a model: "I don't trust them at all and nor do the other girls. So diversifying is our best bet"

I think they may stick around because it has the user base and why not, they are already making money so no point giving that up. But now models will diversify across multiple platforms because the writing is on the wall. They may lose the

The damage is already done. I was doing a photoshoot at my house with 2 models that have OnlyFans accounts. When the news hit they literally signed up for other platforms within an hour. The other platforms are capitalizing on the news an

Used to be the case. They are far behind now. Just read the docs for CCBill. Most of adult is still PHP even for new stuff. And they usually work on the servers directly instead of using version control and staging servers. Only the re

IRS is leading the way with that. They do it by association and high probability that you own the wallet.

...for how long? They just promised they would be inclusive of adult sex workers only months ago to combat the rumors which apparently were true.

Having worked as an adult programmer, they are really far behind technology trends. You're lucky if they use version control and staging servers.

But most coins are public ledger. And the "know your customer" exchanges are not allowing privacy protecting coins.

I highly doubt they are going through CCBill. They are too expensive at volume. Since they are only charging models 20% I suspect they tried to pretend to not be adult, which they probably weren't in the beginning. But not it is alm

Crypto will eventually democratize business transactions but it will take some time and it will not be without increased fraud.

...for how long? There were rumors they were getting rid of adult and then they put out an announcement saying that they would always be inclusive of sex workers. Then they just announced this. Their credibility is gone.

Visa and Mastercard allow adult. They just force you to pay the "high-risk" category. Which is much higher fees. OF can't get away with only charging models 20% if credit card processing is taking more than half of that. I

Crypto payments hasn't taken off yet. It's beyond the scope of most people's ability to pay in crypto. To reach the masses you probably have to go with "know your customer" (KYC) requirements that are going to scar

Were they getting their credit card processing in the non-adult category. I know a bunch of adult credit card processors are in the range of 12-15% and OF only takes 20%. Maybe that is why they are cracking down on them. There are plenty

I have a love hate relationship with Typescript. I have come to see it as a tool and to use it when it makes sense and avoid it when it doesn't. I like the language at a conceptual level and find what it does very useful. The syntax

Personally, I love Haskell and wish I can use it more. This article does not do justice convincing people to invest time to learn it. Is this like the curse of teaching monads? Once you know them you lose the ability to teach someone else

The political class benefits from conflict and division like this. It gives them a scape goat they can use for whatever the pressing issue is at the moment and any consequences of their actions. > US universities are not free environmen

It's a bit of a white lie but I don't see it being harmful to claim that. It is increasingly becoming true. Lots of fields are adopting CT. And being taught CT earlier on in the process would provide a useful framework for build

CT is universal in the sense that if you understand how it is applied in one domain you can easily apply it to others. The problem with CT education IMO is that it cannot be taught at the abstraction level only -- there are too many floatin

Yes. This is why so many are fleeing California and the bay area. This and taxes were probably the 2 biggest motivations for me to move out of the SF bay area.
