Bugs Apple loves 6 months ago

I've owned iOS devices since around 2010 I think, and one of the first things I do when setting them up is disable autocorrect and most other typing assistances. For this reason! Also when typing in 2 or 3 languages, it is completely useless.

Assuming both agents are using the same model, what could the reviewer agent add of value to the agent writing the code? It feels like "thinking mode" but with extra steps, and more chance of getting them stuck in a loop trying to overcorrect some small inane detail.

Well put. I can't help thinking of this every time I see the 854594th "agent coordination framework" in GitHub. They all look strangely similar, are obviously themselves vibe-coded, and make no real effort to present any type of evidence that they can help development in any way.

I am working with kilo-stock-tokens. Currently producing 3000 LoC/h (trying to ramp up to 6000 by the end of the week). I have also deployed 4 union-busting agents in case the other agents decide to quit all at once.

Mind sharing your workflow? I'm at 24.3x productivity right now, 5 parallel agents, 2 monitoring Opus agents, 1 architect agent and 2 Senior QA agents, each with independent memory and 12 MCP servers. They are running in 78 parallel tabs in ghostty.

I think the same. It sounds quite more practical to have LLMs code in languages whose compilers provide as much compile-time guardrails as possible (Rust, Haskell?). Ironically in some ways this applies to humans writing code as well, but there you run into the (IMO very small) problem of having to write a bit more code than with more dynamic languages.

I strongly recommend the book "Mastering Emacs" by Mickey P. You will need some patience as well, I recommend going slow and steady for a week at least using the book, with a vanilla/standard Emacs install.

It took me about 2 weeks to get productive at first (this was in 2018), and now I use Emacs every day for a wide variety of tasks (programming and notes, mostly).

Are many HN members in Zürich? I was suprised to see this type of news with so many points, though it's quite amusing to see the mixture of different topics in the front page.
