Following instructions. I've got a modest sized CLAUDE.md containing some simple rules to follow. Things to always do, things to never do. Not a day goes by where Claude Opus violates one or several of the instructions. He keeps making

I tried opus V5 several times, but it's pretty awful compared to V4.8 Keeps going in circles, it complicates everything much more than it should. And like others have mentioned it just marches on, without questioning, and more often th

The title could've been shorter: don't use passkeys. Period.

Numbers from Denmark and the Netherlands (the only two European countries where it's allowed to gather such statistics) show that non-EU immigration is a net cost to the society (and economy). In the Netherlands a non-western asylumsee

I like claude models, but crush and opencode are miles ahead of claude code. It's a pity anthropic forces us to use inferior tooling (I'm on a "team" plan from work). I can use an API key instead but then I'll blow

For me wayland offers only downsides, without any upsides. I feel the general idea behind it (pushing all complexity and work onto other layers) is broken. I'll stick to xorg and openbox for many years to come.

Based on my experiments with anthropic, openai and gemini, your codebase must be an unsalvageable nightmare by now.

I sure hope another winter is on the way, the LLM hype wagon is beyond exhausting.

I did some digging in the issues and PR's of pre-commit, the guy seems to be a major douche. Too bad, because uv is amazing. Might look at an alternative to pre-commit in the future.

You're falling into the false dichotomy that always comes up with these topics: as if the choice is between the cloud and renting rack space while applying your own thermal paste on the CPUs. In reality, for most people, renting dedic

I don't use AI. Problem solved. The software I make will be better off in the long term.

There is nothing python-2 about my python-3 dynamically typed code. I'm pretty confident a majority of new python code is still being written without type hints. Hell, python type annotations were only introduced in python 3.5, the lan

Couldn't agree more! I've been using Python for almost 20 years, my whole career is built on it, and I never missed typing. Code with type hints is so verbose and unpythonic, making it much harder to read. Quite an annoying evolu

I was using autojump for years (on debian) until I lost my jump history several times in the past few months. Turns out it's a known race condition bug fixed in a newer version: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr

I've been using Nvidia gpus exclusively on debian linux for the past 20 years, using the binary Nvidia drivers. Rock solid stability and excellent performance. I don't care for Wayland as I plan to stay on Xorg + Openbox for as lo

Specifically: buy a good desktop computer. I couldn't imagine working on a laptop several hours per day (even with an external screen + keyboard + mouse you're still stuck with subpar performance).

No way an AI built tool is getting anywhere near my database.

by jgb1984 1y ago
I'm not using AI for anything. I read and write my own emails, make my own slides, write my own python code using vim, debian, openbox, bash and tmux, just as I have been for almost 20 years. I don't even use an LSP or autocomplet

I don't understand how you can have the patience to deal with an LLM like that. As if you're dealing with a low skilled but highly stubborn intern. Sounds like an awful waste of time to me.

What a load of crap.

Today we vibecode our software, so the rot is built in from day one!

I'm tired of LLM, period.

Any code that chatgpt or claude ever gave me was overly verbose and highly inefficient in the best case, and riddled with subtle or not so subtle bugs in the worst case. Before the average junior dev will even discover those bugs his grasp

I'm long on no-AI becoming a label of quality, a badge of honor, as people are more exposed to the slop LLMs forces upon them. I want prose, music, photography and movies made by humans, for humans. I want to use software built by deve

What worries me more is the steep decline in code quality. The python and javascript output I've seen the supposed best LLM's generate is inefficient, overly verbose and needlessly commented at best, and simply full of bugs at wor

LLM are a net negative on society on so many levels.

Actually, I'm kind of cheating because I use https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim for that purpose: allows me to jump to definitions with <leader>d ;) Excellent plugin, and doesn't require an LSP.

by jgb1984 1y ago
LLM anything makes me queasy. Why would any self respecting software developer use this tripe? Learn how to write good software. Become an expert in the trade. AI anything will only dig a hole for software to die in. Cheapens the product,

Yeah, no thanks, I'll stick with Django (my bread and butter for over 15 years now!).
