I am a software developer with over 25 years of professional experience and have been working with coding agents for quite some time starting with AutoGPT and now using Claude Code almost 24/7 orchestrated via Task Master to automatically spin up new instances working on a multi layer project.

You are absolutely right. A large portion are influencers (I would estimate around 95% of those you see on YouTube and forums) that are full of hype. I think most are not affiliated with Anthropic or any vendor, they are just trying to sell a course, ebook or some "get rich with AI" scheme.

What I appreciate about Claude Code:

- Since it is a terminal/CLI tool it can be run headlessly from cron jobs or scripts. This makes it easy to automate.

- I appreciate the predictable pricing model. A flat monthly fee gives me access to Claude Sonnet and Opus 4 in five-hour sessions each with its own usage limit that resets at the start of a new session. There is a fair use policy of around 50 sessions per month, but I haven’t hit that yet. I deliberately run only one instance at a time as I prefer to use it responsibly unlike some of the "vibe" influencers who seem to push it to the limit.

That's it. Despite being a CLI based tool, Claude Code is remarkably out of the box for what it offers.

That said, no coding agent I have encountered can fully ingest a large inconsistent legacy codebase especially one with mixed architectures that accumulated over years. This limitation is mainly due to context size constraints, but I expect this to improve as context windows grow.

Thanks. It seems you're right. I started with the first Deluxe Paint myself back then and always incorrectly thought he used it based on the videos I saw.

From what I remember he used Deluxe Paint and the color cycle feature to change the color palette around.

Lately I often have trouble finding the date/time a youtube video was posted. Sometimes I find it when I open the description box, but not always.

They are both prototype-based languages influenced by Self.

That is similar to how I see it. The currently accepted physics may just be at a local minima, but not at the global minima.

The same thing happened to me and I'm still sick of it. I lost a lot of emails from the beginning of my career. I found out when I finally got around to backing up my old stuff. There are still a lot of emails that I wish I still had. I know it is / was a free service, but still.

Same here. With prices rising everywhere and a salary of ~40k euros before taxes (which is normal in IT in many EU countries if you don't work for big tech) I hardly have room for another subscription. People here are too quick to say "what is $10 on a $80/hour salary?"

I was planning to do this myself. Thanks for the article. I am ok with the code dump :D

Right now I am using nginx with the image_filter module + caching to do this.

You can always try something like this: https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

It may not work for VST plugins with certain DRMs though.

Update: I see that bepzi was 1 hour ahead of me. I did not see it when I refreshed the page, only after I replied.

I know about "Het zal me aan mijn reet roesten", but I usually use "het zal me een worst wezen" which is similar to what they say in Germany.

Last year at the beginning of the pandemic I started implementing a devops infrastructure at work where I work as a lead developer. Initially the idea was to allow developers to run anything (or a selection of things) required for production on their local machine (k3s, kind etc) with added tooling for development (consistently working tools inside the container, but even outside by the use of binding). All I needed was a simple way to run containers and the requirements. Docker soon proved to be inadequate, it lacked certain features and I soon moved to k8s for local development and a devops pipeline.

People commit their changes, I (and sometimes another dev) review them and they are pushed to the test environment, from there to staging and then production (with a way to easily roll back). This is all done automatically with out-of-the-box solutions (fluxcd, flagger, kilo, kaniko etc).

At work, Kubernetes is not considered too difficult to manage. Much can be done in a very consistent and complete way unlike Docker. What am I overlooking that makes k8s to be considered snake-oil by so many?

Edit: Forgot to add. I am so happy with k8s that I even run it at home and on my external servers.

Also have a look at Kilo to connect your cloud and home cluster using WireGuard: https://kilo.squat.ai/

Instead of MetalLB I used PureLB, but now I use no LB: https://purelb.gitlab.io/docs/

I use Rook for storage: https://rook.io/

I actually do use VSCode (in addition to Vi and Vim) and I believe I indicated that.

I signed up for the copilot technical preview right after it was announced a few months ago, but I haven't gotten an invite yet while all my friends who signed up later did (I feel a bit left out). Is there any way to get an invite sooner? What am I doing wrong?

Then doesn't a patent have to more precisely describe the "scheduler" mechanism or can they leave that out? If so. How can I know that I am not infringing the patent? My entity component system which is > 4 years old already does automatic scheduling with batches (what Unity calls chunks) to optimize the memory layout.

Yes, but their claim is specifically about (quoting my other comment):

It appears to describe a data-oriented component entity system in which all data types within a component are assigned to chunks (batches) in such a way that they can be optimally grouped with data from components of other entities for optimal memory access.

This is not new either. I and others have done this for years. The term "archetype" is something they made up to describe something that has been done many time before.

Edit: It appears that the term "archetype" was introduced somewhere in the last few years. Not sure then if it is specifically coming from Unity.

It appears to describe a data-oriented component entity system in which all data types within a component are assigned to chunks (batches) in such a way that they can be optimally grouped with data from components of other entities for optimal memory access.

I don't see anything new even when considering the entire context. I have worked on similar data-oriented entity component systems for over 10 years. Unity was actually very late to the game and Sony had to push them to give it more priority.

Edit: Some examples, including the use of chunks, or what I call batches:

When the Delta variant was identified most countries had not or had just started their vaccination program.

Yeah, that sounds about right. The point is that this sub allowed for free discussion about the virus and what was happening in China / Wuhan at a time when not many people were talking about it or knew what was going on. This indeed included "leaked" videos from China of people in hasmat suits, suddenly falling to the ground, spraying streets and buildings etc. It was alarming (in the end I think those videos were created to misdirect).

Those videos were only a small part of the discussion going on there. Quarantining the sub acted for many only as confirmation that certain information was really being suppressed from higher up.

As I said here before. Because of this sub I bought N95 masks early on (some of which I later gave to doctors/nurses in my family), stocked up on food and warned others to stock up before the panic set in. Every once in a while I posted the latest numbers and estimations of the CFR/IFR. The last one I did which was on /r/coronavirus turned out to be accurate a year later. Sadly /r/Wuhan_Flu is now only a shell of its former self.

Later many things turned out to be true as well. All subs were guilty of spreading information which later turned out to not be the case. I really do not like censorship and want to hear from all sides. Luckily there is the website you created, reveddit.

Thank you. Really appreciate your input. I did read that Vice article before and recently shared it here as well.

From what I remember at the time /r/coronavirus and /r/china_flu removed any discussion about "leaks" (or were they?) from China. On the other hand, not all the "leaks" discussed in /r/Wuhan_Flu turned out to be what they seemed (videos of people "dropping dead" on the streets etc.).

Do you think Wuhan_Flu (the creator/mods) had/has bad intentions? At the time it was one of the few subs where you could talk about things you couldn't talk about in other subs (info leaking out from China regarding the virus). That sub was quarantined for spreading misinformation and fearmongering which someone at /r/OutOfTheLoop summarized as:

The users of that subreddit believe in a conspiracy that the Wuhan Coronavirus is more serious than the governments of China and the United States are telling them. They believe the government is mismanaging the outbreak. They were quarantined because an admin believed the subreddit was spreading misinformation.

What the screenshot shows is that only a handful of mods were running all major coronavirus related subs. /r/China_Flu is a major coronavirus related subreddit endorsed and promoted by Reddit themselves. Originally the image is not coming from 4chan.

Same with the coronavirus related subs last year:

It was discovered and some of the mods removed themselves. Honestly I just think they go by another name.

No mention of Louis Rossmann to who Wozniak is replying to?

There are sources in the description. It seems legit:

What I've read so far is horrible :(

This is an interesting small documentary:

Not sure how true it all is.

It mostly destroyed that subreddit-community and prevented anything from that subreddit to ever reach the frontpage again. It is now just a shell of its former self. Back then it helped me and others to stock up on masks, sanitizers and other stuff early. We warned other people early about the upcoming virus as well.

Meanwhile the other corona-subreddits were and/or still are controlled by moderators that also control many of the other largest Reddit-approved (corona-)subreddits:

https://i.4pcdn.org/pol/1582202873483.jpg (Sorry, this 4chan archive of the image is all I could still find)

And this is all just one example of how crazy things can get and not even the worst (like people getting doxxed and personally harassed, getting banned on multiple sites en masse etc.). Many people who aren't in the right place at the right time within certain communities probably can't even imagine things like this could happen (like I couldn't 6 years ago) until it happens to them. They just call you a "conspiracy theorist". Not everyone who is skeptical of the mainstream story believes in "flat earth", is "anti-vaxx", thinks they want to "inject us with microchips" and "control us with 5G". Those are used as an example to censor and/or discredit other alternative views.

All we did on that subreddit was just trying to find out what was happening before everyone was talking about it (which was suspicious in itself).

/r/Wuhan_Flu

More info here: https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7jqbx/reddit-cant-quarantin...

Also here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/f6jpm7/what_i...

And a quote from /r/OutOfTheLoop about /r/WuhanFlu:

The users of that subreddit believe in a conspiracy that the Wuhan Coronavirus is more serious than the governments of China and the United States are telling them. They believe the government is mismanaging the outbreak. They were quarantined because an admin believed the subreddit was spreading misinformation.

Note that /r/WuhanFlu was already talking about this mismanagement since mid-January.

Unfortunately @apostacy (who is getting downvoted) is from what I experienced back then mostly right.
