It was the case in France too, it was called Bloctel; you just had to register your phone number and telemarketing companies had a legal obligation to look it up and not call you. So it worked for a time, legit companies stoped calling; how

Yes it’s very codebase dependent, and changes over model versions. In my case codex was so bad, until it suddenly became better than Opus at 5.5, which surprised me. I am sure it can be the inverse for some codebases. The way I keep an eye

That's an interesting take, however there is no ongoing maintenance related to local models, maybe the only effort is giving more capable machines to the workforce; but yeah I can see how it might feel like a barrier.

In my experience performance is about the same as native on mobile. On desktop I cannot compare as I thankfully never had to make cross platform desktop apps using native platform SDKs, but Flutter is doing fine. I am a working on a non tri

To me the issue is that ad vendors in the app knows what you read, the NYT have over 300 vendors listed in their privacy section, the Economist about 80. But if you refuse in the NYT they nag you over and over again for accepting cookies. I

Having worked with domain experts I concur on the difficult time they have expressing the rules of their domains. Once I built a little domain-specific language for them, that was tested against old jobs to see if they contradicted the past

I am wondering how much the "perfect alternative then it will prevail" still holds given the amount of money spent on marketing by infrastructure companies, for example Vercel that have an interest in promoting Next.

Plugins are often to blame, I had some recurring issues with the full IntelliJ when opening multiple instances at the same time. I switched to Webstorm without any plugins for light editing without all plugins loaded, I have around 5 instan

In my experience the approach matters a lot, I recently implemented Otel with Claude Code in a medium sized ~200k loc project: - initially it wasn't working, plenty of parent/child relationships problems like described in the post

Thanks for the tip. I was dubious, I tried GPT 5.2 for a start on a large plan and it was way better than reviewing it with Claude itself or Gemini. I then used it to help me with feature I was reviewing, it caught real discrepancies betwee
