...if done correctly.

You can reverse engineer websites at a breathtaking speed if you do it correctly. PeachJam.dev took me approximately 2 months to make, for instance. If I had access to Sol from the start it would likely just take 1 month.

It's like lovable but much more affordable. Built on Cloudflare + Hetzner. Still in beta.

The invisible hand of the free market is working wonders.

Surely the electromagnetic radiation from iPhone must be disorienting the storks.

All they had to do is to keep their mouths shut.

I really need this as an API.

Turns out, to use Claude Agents SDK, you need to have a vision enabled API. If Deepseek API could see, it can fully drive Claude Code and Claude Agents SDK. A project I'm working on relies on a Claude-in-CloudflareWorker setup and I've been relying on Qwen and gemini flash lite, both more expensive than Deepseek.

Can't wait to have it available on deepseek.

Nobody's stopping you from taking advantage of that shortage :) Just don't forget to turn your garage EUV machine on and off if it starts glitching.

For now codex. Didn't manage to get others to work well. And fully aware that I'll have to move to another thing after OpenAI enshittifies this as well.

That's a baseless claim that borderline reads like shilling. Do you have any proof of that you wrote there?

I moved off Claude Code 3 months ago.

That decision keeps getting better and better as time goes on.

YMMW but on my local tasks Opus 4.8 is nowhere near close to gpt 5.5. For the lack of a better word Opus is just soo damn lazy.

This was an insightful comment, thank you for writing.

And here's to hoping that the exponentially growing technological capabilities will allow curing death in our (short) lifespans. By God we need that to counteract the ageing population.

Tobacco companies should've just announced that "This new tobacco we made is super good, but too dangerous to release, so we are smoking it ourselves and giving it to only the select C-level smokers"

That's as easy as making new Vite. :) Which is hard, not easy but my point stands.

AI Art isn't Art. AI Poetry isn't Art

No offense but I couldn't give less of a damn what some guy on the internet thinks. If it makes me feel good in artsy-ways, then it is art, and I don't care how it was made.

Where's the pelican when you need it the most?

IMO bad take.

You can theoretically do most things AWS does most of the time, yet people pay premium for it and keep paying for it, even though alternatives are cheaper, simpler and more performant.

I'd bet you that after 20 years OpenAI and Anthropic would still be around and kicking.

You might have a subpar product (for the price) but the reputation and history is what makes people open their wallets.

Do you hold any amount of power in the world? A project that people care about, or a deliverable that someone depends on?

Just curious how you can afford to care about the guy 7 levels above the men that built and support the API that you buy.

GPT 5.5 feels worse than 5.4 for the last few weeks. Again N=1, but would be interested to see how opus 4.8 and gpt 5.4 match

And I think that's amazing. I'd like to keep using the subsidized coding tools, especially Codex, since I've given up on Claude. Hopefully the PMF allows the subsidy to continue. Would hate to have to move to the next coding harness again.

I wonder if the Xenonite is a high-entropy alloy :-)

Simplest explanation I could come up with: Just for hype and fun.

Rewriting things in rust is "cool". Bun did it, other projects did it. Therefore, writing a coding agent in one should be cool too.

And apparently enough HN crowd agrees with it to take the #1 spot on the board.

Just as it has always been.

EVERYTHING you use is complicated. The goddamn ATOMS and electronic shells around them are so absurdly complicated that they require quantum computers to even simulate them without approximations.

Everything is complicated, and all humanity has ever done is to try to reign in that complexity (you think about macbook GUI, NOT transistors beneath it).

So, yeah, I fully disagree with what this blog is trying to say. World is infinitely complex - and we are trying our best to make it make sense.

I think so too. The rich will be richer, but also more people will have more at the same time. As Civilization put it: 'Just as it has always been'

Who said anything about ui? I just grab my project write key and Codex handles it all, no UI from idea to production at all.

I wonder if hetzner had better uptime in EU than AWS this year.

Why better auth and not, postgres in docker? What is it better about better auth compared to the ol reliable postgres?

Can someone more intelligent then me tell me why should I offload my postgres users table to some 3rd party provider? Like what is so hard about keeping that table in my VM on hetzner that I have to give it off to someone else? It's not payments, it's just a few fields of data

You have to go to conferences and meetups. Paid conferences are worth is most of the time IMO. I spent $500 for the most expensive one and it landed me a really good offer later.

Go to conferences and shake hands with people, try to be friendly and ask questions. Later check companies of people you've met for openings - and ask the guy you met, directly, to put a word in for you, pretty please.

Works really well.

I saw this shitstorm brewing back in Jul 2025. Gave up on finding a job. Started 100% looking for cofounding (or at a minimum being a founding engineer in a startup). Networked like crazy. Landed exactly what I wanted. Cool startup, motivated people around me, money to burn on crazy projects.

If I had stayed for job hunting, I would be unemployed IMO.
