Doesn't look like a sport car. From above it actually looks like a phone. The main thing is that the charging port isn’t on the bottom.

> Ask it if a microservices architecture makes sense for your three-person team and it’ll explain why microservices are an excellent choice

If you ask it to be fair and non-biased and provide pros and cons and give possible alternatives - it will. The catch - you might understand the explanation if you don't know the domain good enough.

Overall - a very, VERY good article, thank you!

If you think that you can just silently modify the model without any announcements and only react when it doesn't go through unnoticed, then be 100% sure that your clients will check every possible alternative and will leave you as soon as they find anything similar in quality (and no, not a degraded one).

> people didn't understand to use /effort to increase intelligence, and often stuck with the default -- we should have anticipated this

UI is UI. It is naive to expect that you build some UI but users will "just magically" find out that they should use it as a terminal in the first place.

Absolutely awesome, thank you, Lewis!

> Skills are great for pure knowledge and teaching an LLM how to use an existing tool. But for giving an LLM actual access to services, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the far superior

That's it. For some things you need MCP, for some things you need SKILLs - these things coexist.

I am a web developer with 21 years of experience (you can read my blog here: https://medium.com/@eugeniyoz).

By combining my technical background with the strategic use of AI agents, I adapt quickly to any tech stack. I review every line of generated code to ensure strict alignment with current best practices.

There are open-source alternatives:

and others. There are free to use tools also.

I don't know - it works okay (yet to be tested whether it is actually smarter than Opus 4.6), but it is not bad at all. So far, it works quite fine (I'm not testing the "fast" version).

Not in my experience. Quoting my tweet:

Gave the same prompt to GPT 5.4 (high) and Opus 4.6 (high).

GPT 5.4 implemented the feature, refactored the code (was not asked to), removed comments that were not added in that session, made the code less readable, and introduced a bug. "Undo All".

Opus 4.6 correctly recognized that the feature is already implemented in the current code (yeah, lol) and proposed implementing tests and updating the docs.

Opus 4.6 is still the best coding agent.

So yeah, GPT 5.4 (high) didn't even check if the feature was already implemented.

Tried other tasks, tried "medium" reasoning - disappointment.

It depends on how much value their talents can bring to humankind, I guess.

Just checked - not blocked, works just fine (Adamo and Vodafone).

Still not usable in production, not even near. But I'm happy to see any progress in this area.

You still need a human (working at human speed) to review every generated line, if it’s not a throwaway app or some demo to impress investors.

New comment by EugeneOZ in "I’m leaving Redis for SolidQueue"

EugeneOZ — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:37:30 +0000

Chapter "The True Cost of Redis" surprised me.

> Deploy, version, patch, and monitor the server software

And with PostgreSQL you don't need it?

> Configure a persistence strategy. Do you choose RDB snapshots, AOF logs, or both?

It's a one-time decision. You don't need to do it daily.

> Sustain network connectivity, including firewall rules, between Rails and Redis

And for a PostgreSQL DB you don't need it?

> Authenticate your Redis clients

And your PostgreSQL works without that?

> Build and care for a high availability (HA) Redis cluster

If you want a cluster of PostgreSQL databases, perhaps you will do that too.
