Is Erlang (not Elixir) used for new projects anymore? I never see new repos showing up here using Erlang in open source.

They just need to push the big red automate everything button. I’m sure it’s just that easy.

This is kind of one of the points I try to make. All of the damage that is being done right now is very hard to fix when we have sane people back in power (if that happens). It’s 100x easier to destroy than build, and we are seeing it happen in real time.

This is clearly rage-bait. Why feed the troll by commenting?

Sure, but they get less sympathy when a lot of their high profile employees talk about using Claude to write 100% of their code and yet Claude Code has loads of issues and their services go down every 10 minutes.

Of course personal projects are much quicker because usually personal projects don't have high code standards... I'm talking about production code.

>The code is still visible if i want to review it.

I agree that the test harness is the most important part, which is only possible to create successfully if you are very familiar with exactly how your code works and how it should work. How would you reach this point using a dashboard and just reviewing PRs?

I think you’ve forgotten about the context of OP’s post. He said he uninstalled vscode and uses a dashboard for managing his agents. How are you going to be able to do code review well when you don’t even know what’s going on in your own project? I catch subtle bugs Claude emits because I know exactly what’s happening because I’m actively working with Claude, not letting Claude do everything.

I have read comments about this on X, here, and other places, yet I have ever seen there be proof this is an actual productivity boost.

I use Claude Opus (4.5, 4.6) all the time and catch it making making subtle mistakes, all the time.

Are you really being more productive (let’s say 3x times more), or just feel that way because you are constantly prompting Claude?

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t buy it.

Im not sure we want to live in a world where no one works.

Maybe I’m wrong, and I certainly have no studies backing up my feelings, but not having to work seems like it would be a massive psychological disaster.

Having external reasons to get up in the morning (providing for your family, being apart of some organization, etc) feel really important.

Wow, so brave after accepting the contract. This is more insulting than OpenAI saying they are a supply chain risk.

“I assumed Republicans would be for this: business, deregulation”

When are we going to stop talking about Republicans like they are still neocons? Republicans haven’t been the pro big-business party in 10 years (did we forget about the tariffs, trade wars, etc that have happened in the last year alone?)

Are LLMs part of your development workflow for something like this? If they are, is it through something like Claude Code or something else?
