Meaning they realized they hit a wall. The next new model isn't that much better than the last in quality.

Coding is not just the program running in memory, its also the process of distributing the mental model of understanding among the team. If humans increasingly are kept out of coding, then who holds the mental model? If AI holds the mental

I actually enjoy herdr a lot, and not just for agent management but the whole multiplexer is plenty powerful defaults and easier than tmux. At some point though, it's too much information for my tiny human brain to process, even more t

Does a burger flipper enjoy flipping burgers all day? - Not unless you're a robot. But Making a Gourmet burger without time pressure? - yes No it is not enjoyable if you have enjoyed coding by hand earlier and like your craft. Maybe fo

This is it. Sustainability. Not everything has to be about more money quickly. You don't even need VCs for that. More win to bootstrappers! I see a lot of folks bootstrapping in the LLM era, but that can be defeaned in the VC noise.

I do have lots of hobbies, but none would pay a wage. Maybe open a small business of some kind. Surf shop or bike rentals. How does one break into being an electrician? I do like electronic repairs, but not mechanical ones like cars

Sorry to hear. Repairs do sound fun if you're physically inclined

Very cool and definitely useful. I'm not the audience but I'll say: I like my ereader to just have books that sync. That is all. It's my library room and peace time, the last thing I need is Claude to distract me.

Unit tests are core. Of course depending on project size things change. I'm talking about just myself managing a large project gets difficult to do everything

This article hits very close to what I have come up with myself and its good to see others thinking the same lines. Core modules: Coded by myself, AI reviews and AI to discover/learn. Stuff I don't care about Craft: API laye

Agreed with Reading! This alone isn't enough though. PreLLM too it wasn't just reading code to review. Someone did the hard work or crafting the code and each unit test would tell you the weird corner cases to deal with and factor

If only agents had a face that can give you more communication range like expressions and feeling so you can trust them more. And if they were cheaper. Oh wait, that's humans, we don't want those.

Agree with this fully, I'm sure a lot of software engineers do too. Yet software is dominated by the valley. It's funny how easily money and greed manipulate the narrative while the majority suffer.

Well we can go a step further and say Devtools must not be VC funded too :) Till date, the best and greatest dev tools I've used have not been influenced by VC decisions.

Nice! I've always wanted something like this clubbed with Coupons, Offers and combos that can be a steal deal sometimes.

If there is a place that is hiring and cares about Software Quality, I'll take a 70% paycut to work there.

Yeah, AI works great for everyone in vacuum, but works for no one in a group.

This hits so hard. I used to admire Senior developers who would do this. Now, I find myself in a place where there is no one to do this, and I've taken up to playing this role. It is the hardest job, but I cannot do any thing else as m

All this debate around use LLM or not is tiring and just black and white thinking. Can I use agents to code a SWE project? yes, with nuances. Can I write code for a SWE project? yes, with nuances. Its more options now, I'll write code

Shameless plug. But poor Indie hacker's log store based on similar concepts. Write logs to durable s3/r2 in parquet and querying with duckdb: https://github.com/amr8t/blobsearch No expensive indexing or compu

The big one that's missing as cost cutter. If you are a programmer, stay as close as you can to the code. Define the interfaces yourself and the core logic. You will know exactly what changes you want and know what tier of model to use

Until Claude Sonnet 4, it was Meh no big deal. 4 onwards and Opus was when I was really surprised by the ability. But nowadays, I'm more convinced than ever that using AI for all code is a mistake. The sum total of productivity, althou

For a bootstrapper's computeless log search solution using Duckdb and s3 compatible store, use Blobsearch ( https://github.com/amr8t/blobsearch )

Looks really slick! I've been using Obsidian with git, and am thinking of moving back to the OG solution of simply using a text editor with a git repo. I'm wary of using cloud like google drive or dropbox for sync, especially if
