Its all about the context window. Even the new Mistral Codestral-2501 256K CW does a great job.

If you use cline with any large context model the results can be pretty amazing. It's not close to self guiding, You still need to break down and analyze the problem and provide clear and relevant instructions. IE you need to be a great architect. Once you are stable on the direction, its awe inspiring to watch it do the bulk if the implementation.

I do agree that there is space to improve over embedded chat windows in IDEs. Solutions will come in time.

very sad... he had his hands on so much good noise that i absolutely cherished. We'll be lucky if I don't bust out crying

There are a ton of pi derivatives that offer a pretty broad range of configurations. I always think of the Pi as the general consumer flagship. I was still pretty impressed with the Pi 4B... I just wish it had broader availability.

Just a handful of examples:

Penmanship 4 years ago

I switched to all caps after undergrad.

Whatever i had before was essentially illegible. I think the act of learning something by choice, as opposed to having it forced on me through public school, allowed me to embrace that artistic aspect of it and see handwriting as something other than purely utilitarian.

Unrelated to open source, but DocuSign is literally one of the examples i list when explaining why the tech sector is over bought. They've tripled their market cap since the beginning of the pandemic, and while there is some merit to work from home, their moat is laughable. There are plenty of alternatives to DocuSign that should make share holders terrified... Adobe Sign, Panda Docs, HelloSign - i wouldn't even bet against notarize.com

Someone is going to roll a decentralized ID system on blockchain and tank this whole sector...

Elder millennial here - I attended university in the bay area. Before leaving, my family sent me to the military surplus store and then handed me a bus ticket. We are not a military family, but starting the experience at such a utilitarian place set the proper tone.
