Steve Wozniak is a present that helps me keep this equation on the positive side every time I stumble upon something he said or done. This included. In an alternate universe the society values these kinds of people and not the bullies.
I harass the sea with my tiny boat and am called a pirate, you do it with a great fleet and are called a king.
This sends a clear message and it echoes the "you can't solve a societal problem with tech" comment from the other thread - there is a right way and a wrong way of breaking the law. It's not that you have to keep the law, you just need to break it in the way that the consequences can be contained.
I think it's just a matter of time until everyone learns this. And then it will be the end of the slowly dying liberal democracies.
Have used it for years as well, Plex is a piece of shit. I'm waiting for the day I'll have the time to migrate off this enshitified hostile dark "platform".
You're absolutely right and let me be honest about the honest load-bearing smoking-gun you point at.
Why not both? In Prepbook[0] (shameless plug) we created a web app, then used it to make a native app. You can use whatever you want. I like both. The native app though gives an objectively better experience - you can set timers on the OS level, open recipes in the app using the OS native share menu, etc.
We worked hard so you don't have to vibe code your way to get the experience you prefer.
Remember the little dot in the end of the feed when you saw all your friends posts?
I have a coin that can tell you whether a program would halt or not. But it's not always right. I think it's a coin like you have? Still trying to figure out how to use it to prove that p=np.
Honest question - does using claude code and steering it to type the code I want counts as hand-built? Like doing actual PRs, nit picking, basically treating it as a jr/product/typist while I'm the one making ALL the decisions? Reading every line and approving manually if it's a code that I would write?
Ask random questions until you get enough sense of things to ask "the right" questions. Never stop asking questions. Use everything you can to get the answers and never settle for any answer no matter how good it sounds, doubt it and go back to step 1.
In 2025 John Deere net income was $4,998m. $1m is 0.02% of that. They make it in less than 2 days. Imagine making money in an unlawful way for years then paying only 2 days worth of salary.

I agree with this sentiment so much but before I could figure I turned into it. I'm feeling torn - it's helping me write and ship good code as I couldn't before, but it feels like I don't understand the real price of using it non-stop.
Not GP but the js runtime has a long tail of case edges you simply can't emulate with a single app.
How about leveraging llms to produce deterministic codemods? You can then iterate on this by running the codemods and using other deterministic guardrails, feeding the results back into the llm to improve the codemods?
"contains 0% AI" too! This artist is awesome
Can you please elaborate? What constraints exactly?
Check out Linear, I'm not affiliated, just yesterday I happened to close the dialog by misclicking and when I pressed create issue again there was the wall of text I wrote. My point is it's not a technical problem but a product one.
I feel so frustrated about such stuff. Especially when we have the technology to make this not happen.
Same here but yesterday I decided to give this a goal. It started a workflow that spawned like a 100 sub agents to research the best o11y product I can use. It burnt through all my max plan (before it could start making any changes), something I could never do simply by using claude code yet. It's not for me.
Wait what do you mean "if"?
"You work hard, screw over everybody that you love, hurt, rob, kill indiscriminately and maybe... just maybe, if you're lucky, you become a three bit gangster. It's bullshit. Go to college. Then you can rip people off and get paid for it. It's called capitalism"
What if they decide you're not patriotic enough, serving you evil models, because one man with a lot of shmeckels told them to?
Recall that the marginal utility of money diminishes when you have more of it - when you have a lot of money it's easier to turn it into even more money, and vice-verca. It's not linear. So 20$ difference has exponential not linear influence on "being rich".
Not gp, I want to pay the creators. I also want to own what I pay them for. When I have this option (bandcamp, physical media etc.) I'm going for it without even thinking. It's not about the money. It was about the money when I was 13. Now it's simply about owning my stuff. Renting is not for me. If I don't have any other alternative than pirate, what should I do?
Sharing is caring. If I can share my money with creators I go for it every single time, especially when these creators are simply making my life better with their art.
It's more complex than "want stuff for free". Usually I hate free stuff as they cost in time or worse.
Lol, I sincerely hope not.
As The President told FDR in Rick and Morty: "Try having an historical administration after Facebook goes online, you old-timey bitch!"
It might be the other way around. There are powerful people with money that simply behave. A few assholes turn things into shit for everyone, when they also have money it just becomes worse.
You are awesome, thank you for being such a magical part of my childhood
Instead of driving the agent with an llm, it might work to use the agent to hard code heuristics, and use some kind of a simulation to benchmark its skills? Then feeding the results back to the agent so it can improve the heuristics?
Where is this quote from?
