Something nobody's really calling out: Forgejo is genuinely hackable. I just added a "showcase" mode to my instance: private repos can show their README and root file listing publicly (so I can advertise that a project exists

Run. I've used it in a product for a couple of thousand repos. The big problem is architectural. Each branch is serialized into a single bundle file. There is no structural sharing of git objects. So each and every branch will download

Hey! Happy Coder contributor here. Great timing on this post. I hear you on the reliability issues and feature stagnation. The project went through a rough patch, but we've had some new core contributors come on board and things have p

I'm trying to understand where our viewpoints differ, because I suspect we have fundamentally different mental models about where programming difficulty actually lives. It sounds like you believe the hard part is decomposing problems -

I'm curious: could you give me an example of code that AI can't help with? I ask because I've worked across different domains: V8 bytecode optimizations, HPC at Sandia (differential equations on 50k nodes, adaptive mesh refin

I actually agree with everything you said, and I see I failed to communicate my idea that's exactly why I'm so upset. You said "the only exception here is learning" - and that exception was my hobby . Programming simple

I think you're misunderstanding my point. I'm not saying I don't know how to use planning modes or iterate on solutions. Yes, you still decompose problems. But what's the decomposition for? To create sub-problems small e

Here's an example of gold plating from a CLI I created this past weekend. I did not like the terse errors when parsing JSON. "invalid type: boolean `true`, expected a string", line: 3, column: 24 So I asked for Elm style frie

Let me rephrase this. I am feeling empathy for the Blue founder because I am in a similar position to show voice control to people and the overwhelming response is "cool, I'll use it while driving". And similar to people here

by marxism 1y ago
Counterpoint: don't blame the founder for leading with driving use cases. It's audience selection bias, not the founder being reckless. He's showing what gets traction, not necessarily what he thinks people should actually do

I really liked the definition of reverse-centaur > A reverse-centaur is a machine that is assisted by a human being, who is expected to work at the machine’s pace. This exactly describes the attitude of a PM I work with who makes abundan

Hey, you mentioned needing a web UI for your agent. I contribute to Happy Coder, an open source agent client (mobile app, desktop app, and web app). The project is just a UI layer for existing agents. Adding Codex specific UI and plumbing l

I want to weigh in here because I see comments focusing on how these products are useless trash. I think that's missing the point. This wealthy engineer mindset is too literal. The AI-generated photos and fake reviews aren't bugs.

Why a relay server? I want an app to just work with no fuss while running an AI agent on arbitrary consumer hardware. Having both the mobile app and agent wrapper process connect outwards through any firewalls and networks to a third comput

by marxism 1y ago
Yes you can self host the relay server (and please do so!). If you are like me and already have Mac Mini in a closet running docker, k3s, or just have a friend group kubernetes cluster, you can get it running in about 3 minutes. https:&#x2

There's a huge difference between documentation and prompts. Let me give you a concrete example. I get requests to "make your research code available on Hugging Face for inference" with a link to their integration guide. That

As you pointed out the examples in the blog post are not an LLM failure. The real failure is asking too little. Engineers think "the LLM can handle the simple code change, but if I ask for too much it'll fall over." Wrong. Mo

I have to disagree with Carmack here. The evidence suggests this isn't AR prep at all. I watched Apple's 20-minute design presentation, and their design team makes the same point repeatedly: Liquid Glass has very narrow guidelines

Just to clarify, when I say 5x code changes, I was thinking of "edit" operations. My intuition is the tail of low value "changes/edits" will skew fairly code size neutral. A concrete example from this week "add

I think we're talking past each other. There's always been a threshold: above it, code changes are worth the effort; below it, they sit in backlog purgatory. AI tools so far seem to lower implementation costs, moving the threshold
