> Using the agent to keep asking questions about pieces of the code I don’t understand instead and pull up relevant documentation and PRs.

I like to do the opposite, asking the LLM to give me relevant follow-up documentation, like the actually docs, where I can read and understand things myself. Data structures, techniques, etc. I still like to read that from the authors, much easier and trustworthy to grasp.

Claude needs a watch, that's all. Would in itself a 100% improvement.

That is not correct. I talked about Pro. Cortecs.ai is routing to Tensorix btw.

DS$ Pro on Tensorix. That is not exactly cheap. Input:$1.75 / 1M tokens Output:$3.50 / 1M tokens

Using Cortecs.ai too in combination with DS4Pro and Mistral Viba as harness, but unfortunately DS4 on Cortecs is the opposite of cheap. So I just use it for privacy centric tasks.

That's what you think. It does. The AI results are steered.

Google is sampling results/views, first spitting out a few and testing, then some more. If people regularly visit impressions/results, then it becomes more trusted and the sampling is widened. Saying: I am not too concerned with this esoteric blog article. The audience of the "poisoning" was probably just "one guy".

Guys. Google tracks you. It deliberately shows your own content in the results. Try from an anonymous vpn account.

"For example, Ray says it looks like Google and ChatGPT might be quietly removing companies from its AI answers when it suspects they're promoting themselves."

What? So AI answers are empty thereafter. Seriously, how can this be a good idea? At some point a company has to promote itself.

Just ask it about the "Tiananmen Square protests and massacre". :-)

On the other hand, asking ChatGPT about "Hiroshima US atomic bombs", isn't too much better.

Especially not as a solo dev. That would be way to expensive.

I am using DS4 via cortecs.ai. There is no training and it is GDPR-compliant. The flip side, it is expensive.

Claude Pro expired and my $40 in prepaid Extra Usage credits vanished

Aldipower — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:44:51 +0000

My Claude Pro subscription lapsed and the prepaid Extra Usage balance was gone with it! Anthropic's docs tie Extra Usage to an active Pro plan but don't spell out what happens to unused credits on cancellation or expiry. No warning or payout option I would have noticed. And there is no refund flow surfaced in the UI too.

IDK if both use ripgrep it is even more strange why it's so slow in Zed.

This. I tried Zed for an entire month, but this "search thing" drove me nuts. It is also slow. If you work in a large project search is absolutely essential. Too bad.. Back to Visual Studio Code.
