Yep. Fable implemented 2FA login. Declined to review own code in same session.

Octopus Deploy year ago raised our payment from $50 per month to $15000 per year with 3 years in advance. We were able to agree on only a 1 year. This year we with use of 200$ Claude sub - created a "clone" of Octopus for our own use. No more payments to Octopus =)

Or You are from Iran, Russia or North Korea and you don't care much USA laws.

Ha, seems to be yet another extortion.

Will run today a task for Claude to remove Polly from codebase.

Realtime full MSSQL database mirroring into DuckDb to do a complex reporting. Everything is in-process. DuckDb database mapped to temp storage and recreated on app restart. Still order of magnitude faster then doing a direct query over MSSQL Server (2ms vs 40+ seconds on same query).

Some devs in team still cannot believe that there is no cheating, that it's possibe, that some 60Mb DB can do queries faster then MSSQL Server with just around 250Mb+ of memory overhead.

(.Net 10 + DuckDB.NET package)

I tend to do code review in separate session. So that context is not affecting judgments.

I use caveman to handle this. Not because to I want to spent less tokens, I want to spent less time reading.

Were not able to login - because You used github auth without browser interaction. Passkeys are in bitwarden in Chrome...

A bit of exaggeration there.

AlfeG — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:57:44 +0000

It's soo annoying. I were not able to use Fable5 to do a PR review of a branch that introduced 2FA/MFA feature for a product. It's constantly downgrades to Opus due to Cybersecurity risks...

New comment by AlfeG in "Restore full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers"

AlfeG — Wed, 13 May 2026 09:45:28 +0000

In the issues there is a link to another repo: https://github.com/danielcherubini/fork-a-slicer

Wonder how Bambu can prevent this kind of forks, where no code - just instructions to AI on how to build a network plugin from scratch.

At this point, I still don't see a reason to use Opus. I'm happy with Sonnet's performance for a third of the price. Tried several times with not a big gain.

I wonder how this will help combat scammers. Do you really think they don’t have $25 for a fee?

Furthermore, this verification system also functions as a US sanction mechanism—one that can be triggered against any entity the US decides to ban.

> The problem is you may pay $20K for gibberish, then try a second time, fail again, and then hire humans.

You can easily pay humans $20k a day and get gibberish in output. Heck, this happen all the times. This happens right now in multiple companies.

Yes sometime humans produce nice code. This happens from time to time...
