Missing gradual rollout of feature flag changes themselves. Yes, you can do percentage based rollouts for individual features but still should have ability to canary all changes before they cause an insta-sev.

Supply and demand always balance out. There is no way manufacturers aren’t going to compete away these inflated margins, as long as they feel like this demand is sustainable.

The issue is they become pay to win, which just isn’t as much fun.

There is no way a port this massive will have human code reviews.

If this succeeds, there is no stopping AI given it will have crossed the rubicon of human bottlenecks.

He would pull them away from co-pilot and the unlimited spigot of money that agentic coding brings, which is contrary to the best interests of Microsfot.

Wonder what they do for their token cache if they swap mid-session like that.

Did they nerf the model or was it changes to Claude code? I agree it got frustrating.

New comment by ec109685 in "CSS is DOOMed"

ec109685 — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 04:36:10 +0000

Great example as to why people are yearning for CSS in TypeScript. Something as simple as if() only works in Chrome and there's not a good shim story for CSS versus a more complete language, so you end up with this:

> The problem: CSS can compute a number – 0 for visible and 1 for hidden – but you can’t directly use that number to set visibility. There is a new feature coming to CSS that solves this: if(), but right now it only just shipped in Chrome.

> So I used a trick called type grinding. You create a paused animation that toggles visibility between visible and hidden. Then you set the animation-delay based on the computed value to determine which keyframe is used:

  animation: cull-toggle 1s step-end paused;
  animation-delay: calc(var(--cull-outside) \* -0.5s);

  @keyframes cull-toggle {
    0%, 49.9% { visibility: visible; }
    50%, 100% { visibility: hidden; }
  }

> A negative animation delay on a paused animation jumps to that point in the timeline. So a delay of 0s lands in the visible range, and -0.5s lands in the hidden range. It’s a hack, but a functional one. When CSS if() gets wider support, we can replace this with a clean conditional. ```

I think Anthropic just highly RL’s their model to work best with it’s Claude Code’s particular ways of going about things.

All the background capability Claude code now has makes things way more complex and I saw a meaningful improvement with 4.6 versus 4.5, so imagine other harnesses will take time to catch up.

How do they feel it’s right to never respond to GitHub issues?

Apple and Google do same thing with their silly forums.

Solvable in more than 2 but not less than 2 would be the real trick.

I use Prompt, Ever Terminal, Whisper, EC2 and Claude Code.

I can build anything with it. Having Claude on top of a terraform repo lets me fully control my infra. Claude is so good at AWS and terraform, and it even found a $3k monthly accidental spend I had running (also sent a refund request to hopefully get some credit back).

Also have a Claude driven CI workflow in GitHub to help keep everything on track.

Having full access to the Claude Code TUI is so much better than the web or iOS interface, plus everything runs on your own setup.

And agree it has replaced doom scrolling / useless new reading.

The Claude code tui is so nice. The web and iOS apps neuter it weirdly.

Claude iOS is way worse. You don’t get the full tui.
