"Refactor this file more concisely", claude code -> 15 small edits after 3 mins. Meanwhile you can just one shot a whole refactor if you just copy and paste the whole file into the normal LLM chat. Anthropic pls stop underestimating the ability of your models on my QUALITY code.

And if you try interrupt claude code cause it takes too long on something, it'll corrupt your entire session. And this bug has been there since March... I was really optimistic on claude code (bought the max plan), but not anymore... Too inflexible and rigid.

I get annoyed with how slow claude code is sometimes, I instead use chat for faster iteration. I wish you could let it shotgun/burst to read more files quickly rather than painstakingly following line by line reading 30 lines at a time.. I should try just asking it to do this?

Wow postgresql's materialized views are super great and nifty. Basically a virtual table, that you can periodically update with a refresh command. So queries that took 3s can now just `SELECT * FROM virtualTable` and boom 0.05s. All handled in SQL + cron so no app changes.

You should definitely run claude code in a VM. It sometimes mangles the input to rg...

Started using claude code more seriously over the past few days. Insane performance for small-medium sized tasks. What an absolute amazing day to be alive and to be witnessing whatever is literally unrolling onto the fabric of reality. This literally changes programming...

Our PR for Lazy Trees has been open for three years since Monday. It's the most important work we've ever shipped, and it is now available in Determinate Nix.

Google's gemini js google/genai library seems to be buggy. Randomly had a look at it's code and it doesn't look great. I realize it's in preview/beta and stuff... But makes me think twice about building upon this. What is happening to software quality? github.com/googleapis/js-…

Are you looking for some devops or sysadmin remote freelance work? Able to dedicate 10-20h a week? Please dm me :) Ever used strace? Good Linux command line experience? Does the overengineered tech and cringey devops job titles annoy you? You'd be a good fit!

Imagine spraining your ankle. But that ankle actually being in your back. I tore some ligaments in my back, absolutely horrendous stabbing pain and fear of something gone seriously wrong. Luckily it's not that bad. Thought I fudged a disc and it was over for my life lol. Grateful

AI is not yet full self coding, so don't give it the drivers seat yet, let it assist you first. Just added some cool AI driven file selection (for a LLM message). Done by first making an initial 'index' and then asking which files would likely be relevant for the message.
