You’re missing the point, it’s about those tools drastically improving context window management. When you want to tackle large refactors, Claude Code will blow tens of thousands of tokens just searching for files and various refactor relat

This is 180 degrees from teams I have been on some years ago - everyone took pride in being thick skinned and detaching their ego from PR reviews. Seems to be a generational thing

sincerely hope this is sarcasm

Absolutely feel the same way. I have been writing software professionally for over 20 years and truly love the craft. Now that I am using Claude Code basically 100% of the time my productivity has certainly increased, but I agree there is a

Yeah I spent almost 10 years building Rails apps and we would always just use whatever the most reputable gem was at the time and it always worked out great. Its only after moving into the JS/TS world that this became not the norm.

I would never suggest "roll your own", but every web framework I have ever used generally has a library that is the go to battle tested auth implementation and just requires adding a few columns and/or tables to your database

"Better Auth’s pitch is simple: Let developers implement everything from simple authentication flows to enterprise-grade systems directly on their databases and embed it all on the back end." Its absolutely bonkers to me that web

Tmux?

Yeah agree. I spent a few hours looking at the langchain repo when it first hit the scene and could not for the life of me understand what value it actually provided. It (at least at the time) was just a series of wrappers and a few poorly

Do you feel a question like this improves literally anything other than your own sense of moral superiority?

second question - does it/will it cost like $500 per 1kg spool?

I was there a few years ago and will echo the fact that the folks I interacted with at the museum of computing were truly world class fantastic. When someone loves what they do and where they are it really shows.

I might be a bit biased (I wrote and maintain a similar gem), but I think this is a great pattern that solves a real problem that is encountered and does so in a very Ruby kinda way. I particularly like the mental model of stringing togethe

I'd like to think this is kind of just the cost of discovering that 1 pattern out of many thousands that is actually useful. I am going to guess the Gang of Four didn't just sit down and bang out the entire catalog of design patte

It’s not an actual crime, but If it’s an online multiplayer game it is a violation of the terms of service. Add to that it tends to ruin other people’s enjoyment of the service, thus negating the main purpose of the service. I think people

Yes, that’s right… they are of dubious utility imho.

I think its probably fair to say that we as individual developers are always going to push for the thing we are most familiar and comfortable with. Almost nothing is "complicated" or "bloated" if you are really productiv

I started in PHP land 20+ years ago, moved into Ruby for the next 10, and now am firmly in JS/Node land. I have used Postgres nearly the entire time. It's my experience that you will never go wrong picking Postgres as your primary

I believe the main selling point is portability and flexibility. Anything written in a language that can be compiled to wasm can now be turned into a web service.

Isn't typing in Python also determined at runtime (aka strong dynamic typing)?

I haven't been part of the Ruby community in a few years - Market demand forced me out of full time Ruby/Rails and into React/JS/TS land. Is Pry still a thing? I remember being able to drop into IRB via Pry within a runn

Also the fact that biofilms had developed is evidence to further support that. If you wipe a surface that’s covered in a biofilm it’s going to be very visible that it’s filthy. This is just pure negligence.

I worked in restaurants all through college, you absolutely must clean the ice machines frequently. Sounds like they assumed they were self cleaning or just were not cleaning them often or thoroughly enough.
