VC++ 6 was an amazing IDE. My favourite of all time, with the debugger being one of the highlights. Still unmatched today.

And what does this mean now that AI can write at 10x this speed again...

I love opencode but it chews through memory on my 64gb MacBook Pro. Can’t have too many long running sessions because the memory use just slowly creeps up. It’s not about the terminal at all which as you noted accounts for minimal isage.

Codex works great in opencode until it gets up to around 200k context. Then it starts doing things like: me: Can you implement the next thing OpenCode+Codex: Yep I'll do that next. <does nothing and returns to prompt> me: Well?

I think OP was rather suggesting that we have a guideline to avoid comments about whether something was written by AI or not. Without fail, every comment section will have posts by people talking about how something is AI generated. Yeah w

All the good borland devs were poached by Microsoft. VC5 and 6 were the spiritual successors of the Turbo XXX family of IDEs.

Large volumes of training data is a blessing and a curse, especially when you consider who wrote it.

My biggest gripe with skills is that even clear and explicit instructions are regularly ignored - even when the skill is brief (< 100 lines). I’ll often see the agent saying it’s about to do something so I’ll stop it and ask “what does t

The robot _does_ gaf. Rust's biggest selling point is that it turns runtime problems in to compile time problems. Compile time problems are significantly easier and cheaper for robots (and humans) to solve.
