If you’re using API, on the other hand, there is absolutely no reason to use Claude Code, or Codex.

I follow a sort of waterfall workflow which is verbose but fully transparent.

Anthropic’s $100 subscription works fine for me, but whatever subscription my company has with OpenAI reaches the 5hr limit ridiculously quickly.

ORMs that try to paper over all the differences fail miserably. They become super complicated and generally produce crap SQL.

ORMs also tend to oversimplify database design. They are just tables with primary keys, right? Who needs indices? Who needs to think about collation? God forbid anyone mentions physical organisation of the data!

Having said this, I do use a very small subset of SQLAlchemy (the bits I understand) in data pipelines.

LLMs were trained in the typical full-fat output found everywhere on the internet, and all of sudden they get a slightly different response that may look like nothing they have seen before.

Does that really save tokens in the long run?

Many people here made comments such as “why do I need another SVC since agents are pretty good with git”, which means they barely read your blurb and did not understand your project.

If you don’t have kids, maybe don’t speak pejoratively about the difficulties in raising children nowadays.

If you do, try to be a bit more empathetic.

A lot of people mentioning off-license/booze/tobacco like that was a success story. It isn’t. Outside main/high streets, kids manage to buy stuff just fine. Success requires enforcement, constant vigilance and heavy penalties. Not applicable to Meta at al.

Social media is a drug. Just like crack, making it illegal won’t make it go away. Only education can change this. Unfortunately, we now have multiple generations hooked on it, so I’m not sure this is even possible anymore.

I blocked all social media on my daughter’s phone until she turned 17. I am/was a massive control freak. Guess what happened after that?

I still have control over her apps. I still won’t let install snapchat and every other crap app she asks for. She understands it is for her own good, but none of that matters when “all her friends use it.”

The first iPhone went on sale when she was born. Obama was elected when she was a baby. The world sucks right now.

Rant over.

What a despicable behaviour from M$.

Biometrics is the feature that confers all the power to Apple and Google. All sorts of shady things can be done in the name of security and privacy.

The internet would be a much better place if browsing and biometrics were done in different devices.

Just yesterday I saw a learner driving at what seemed 10 mph in a 40 mph road, creating a massive queue.

Even if one disagrees with a billionaire tax, I’m sure there are better ways to engage with politics besides “protect my capital at all costs”.

It is not so much that they oppose, but how they oppose.

Imagine if they said instead - no need for tax, here is 15 billion to fund the schools.

They could be heroes but choose to be assholes.

Besides weather, there are loads of factors in the performance: shoes, clothes, food, etc. So basically every record gets an asterisk?

Edit: I was thinking in km/h and mixed it up. Sorry.
