That very similar history is shared by us dinosaurs. I especially remember tuning the 1530 datasette to play differently recorded tapes, then moving to DOS and discovering how much faster it was to run something compiled by turbo pascal. Th

I don't have a voice or likeness in my code. Sure, I have a very specific style in all the code I wrote for the past couple of decades, but you can achieve the same outputs with completely orthogonal styles as well. (like AoS vs SoA) s

Used claude since 7/2025. Switched to codex after fable got blocked. It was still 5.5 but I knew they had to come up with something. As soon as I switched, wow. It wasn't super intelligent, but it was stable. Every day it was the

Oooh real 64bit ide instead of the crippled 32bit junk they gave as a demo for the past 10 years. Good improvement.

I used to get wrist pain from using mouse and keyboard back 20 years ago. I did no exercises. No stretching, no rock climbing, no triathlons, it just slowly subsided and went away. Maybe I just became aware of positioning and strain to such

At that revenue, why not make your own filesystem, database and index structure? There is no way mysql is the best possible software for this use case. Why stop innovation and hand everything over to ops?

I mean, yeah, we are pretty trash without years of domain knowledge. But programmers do have a large domain. Some are experts at a/v, some security/networking, some like to make games/demos. These domains were highly accessib

It is heartwarming to see how sarcasm turns into a celebration of mediocrity.

I don't think it was AI, I seem to remember that google broke search or SO SEO broke to the point where it wouldn't even point at the right SO article. There used to be a lot of commotion on the forums about how broken google sear

This is why I always fail loud rather than pick a stupid default.

Are you really diving into technicals just by asking "sooo what did you do?" to your AI? Without document crawling, debugging and pulling your hair out, how much of it is really a deep dive? I feel like all that effort that goes i

Anthropic should make their own language, and openai should follow suit.

Maybe it is because anthropic prefers a larger system prompt? https://github.com/asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks/blob/main/A...

I agree with all of this, and gource is an excellent example, but this is still "what" and builds no case for a "why". Not even an anecdote like "I told the agent this and it completely misunderstood and did the oth

I tell it to avoid belts and suspenders, don't leave dysfunctional code in, and fail loud. Seems to change that behavior.

I just tell it "you have until morning to work on this, be careful not to use too much ram and don't burn the cpu" and then it goes off to do its thing and hopefully rngesus is with us.

I've been using both codex and claude for the past month and if anthropic acted up like that I'd switch fully to codex in a heartbeat.

Looking back, I wonder what really changed over 25 years for the linux ecosystem. We had lots of distros, there were games built for linux (I remember playing the entire Neverwinter nights on debian) there was wine for StarCraft broodwars,

I'm not going to downplay it. I've been coding since the 80s and using these models since 2023. 10 minutes after using fable I told my colleague this is a new era. It is the difference between sonnet and opus. I didn't think

Sometimes it is ok to sit there in confusion and ask the user to clarify rather than go on an adhd fueled rampage to figure it out without asking.

What do you mean by water fasting? Do you avoid drinking water directly, or do you avoid all food? For example salads are basically sacks of water.

I also run a Qwen 3.6 moe A4B on old hardware. I set it up with numactl --membind=1 so it is constrained to one of the memory sticks which speeds up token generation a little.

Learning some schmuck's framework, IDE, language or OS never felt rewarding to me. It was always like playing with broken toys. Hear me out. There was always some subtle quirk, a bug that irks me once every so often, something I'd

To be fair, nowhere on the frontpage does it say it can build libraries that depend on node. It seems like you are just waiting in the bushes to dis AI assisted coding.

And it was so much better/more stable than Borland C++6! Open/close 15-30 files or mistype a path and borland gave you the good old crash. You had to handle that IDE with extreme care. You'd develop a feeling for its quirks

I loved react in 2013 when it had the life cycle methods. Everything was deterministic, I knew what caused what where and when. Now every framework is a mess and I'm glad I won't have to learn anyone's crap anymore thanks to
