I am on a paid plan for Google's AI offering, and I did just about ten prompts to Argon before I hit my 5 hour limit. I'm not holding my breath this will be a model that is practical to use now either.

AGENTS.md, which they are good enough at following. Of course it can be overridden but this stopped most folks from sending slop grenades.

I've had Claude generate me videos of before & after to better convey new features or bugfixes, that's been quite helpful.

In case anyone else is interested, the skill is public: https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/blob/development/docs/demo-...

We've solved this in our FOSS project by requiring all PRs to have been tested and manually signed off by a human. It significantly decreased the amount of spammy LLM made PRs, while empowering the core contributors to move faster.

I'm using Linux for exactly the opposite reason - it's less hassle than other OS's. And by that I mean every OS breaks, Linux is just simpler to fix when it does (and these days - Claude fix do it for me).

It's not mandatory to customise Linux and mess with it the moment you get your hands on it - you can also run a stock Ubuntu install which will be a great working & gaming workhorse that doesn't add hassle to your life.

Antigravity which lacks an auto approve mode? Not really comparable to Claude Code when you're looking to run a team of agents from my experience.

We still maintain phpbb forums, but activity on them is close to nil when compared to the Discord server. This is for a MUD client too, not exactly a mainstream audience!

The hard part, I heard, was closing a UK company!

They can't convince others, so I shopped around until I found a willing bank. This is due to introduced KYC requirements and the harsh penalties associated with them - so banks are preferring to err on the side of caution.

Same story goes for opening a personal account.

Before Europe gets lumped in as one country, founding a company in Netherlands and Sweden, speaking from personal experience, is a breeze.

Although Sweden is a bit strange in the fact that banks have as much equal say as the government authority does in you starting a company, and if they don't want you as a customer, they can simply deny the right for your company to start!

How can you practically use this in software if you're to deploy this to users? Asking a user to create and enter their own API key is a bar too high for good UX.

The release post is AI-written with little human oversight and it shows.

Claude is also surprisingly good at analyzing system issues on a Linux system and solving them!

I find that fascinating as well! I hope tech will give us the answer in our lifetimes.

I had the same discussion with the color of a river in Albania with my wife. The test says my boundary is a bluer than 85% of the pop - sounds about right!

VadimPR — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 19:06:26 +0000

Appreciate the honesty from the team.

At the same time, personally I find prioritizing quality over quantity of output to be a better personal strategy. Ten partially buggy features really aren't as good as three quality ones.

I'm dissatisfied about the TAP leak as well! I was affected, and like you, didn't even receive a notification - nevermind compensation for having leaked my personal data to the dark web enabling all sorts of shenanigans that make my personal life difficult.

What would mathematics have to do with internal company politics, a soft/people skill demanding job?
