You should use Shopify and focus on the store part of the business, not the SQLite part :)

The author should check to see if the HTTP response body contains "nginx" or "apache" and just filter those out. Seems like at least 50% of what I'm seeing.

Also would be nice if there was a hotlink to view the original site directly from the index page.

Why has public comms been so poor on this issue? There's been lots of Github issues posted in the Claude Code repo with lots of new comments each day screaming into the void, but radio silence from Anthropic since the revert in December. It's clearly causing a lot of frustration for users leading to clever workarounds like this.

It was obviously a complex issue (I appreciate that and your work!). But I think there's a lot to be improved on with communication. This issue in particular seems like it has lost a lot of user trust - not because it was hard to solve and took awhile - but because the comms and progress around it was so limited.

Eg issues:

* https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/1913

* https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/826

* https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/3648

Honestly, may be an unpopular opinion but I disagree with the ideal path. This may be on-paper the correct path for this sim, but in my experience this will lead you to bad career + team outcomes. There's better options based on my experience:

1. If the junior dev is really that critical for a large project for some bizarre reason (fix that next time), tell Gary he's critical to that and say you can realloc ppl to cover or do this task under a 1hr time limit if it's urgent (if exceeds then kill the task). 2. Say to Gary next time let me know directly rather than dm someone on the team so you can route it to the right person (buys trust, covers team). 3. Renewal of BigCo is important to the biz. You should have some room to accommodate requests like these without being a stone to adhoc requests. It will not buy you or your team favour at all. Remember, this is a startup!

Celery is such garbage to run/maintain at any sort of scale. Very excited for this. Rq/temporal also seem to solve this well.

Anyone here done the migration off of celery to another thing? Any wisdom?

They for sure nerfed it within the last ~3 weeks. There's a measurable difference in quality.

Chonkie is great software. Congrats on the launch! Has been a pleasure to use so far.

OpenAi has a version called Codex that has support. It's lacking in a few features like MCP right now and the TUI isn't there yet, but interestingly they are building a Rust version (it's all open source) that seems to include MCP support and looks significantly higher quality. I'd bet within the next few weeks there will be a high quality claude code alternative.

elliot07 — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 21:00:10 +0000

Agree. My wish-list is:

1. Non JS based. I've noticed a ton of random bugs/oddities in Claude Code, and now Codex with UI flickering, scaling, user input issues, etc, all from what I believe of trying to do React stuff and writing half-baked LLM produced JS in a CLI application. Using a more appropriate language that is better for CLIs I think would help a lot here (Go or Rust for eg).

2. Customized model selection (eg. OpenRouter, etc).

3. Full MCP support.

Bought the Core 2 Duo, but I really wanted it to have a HR sensor. May have to buy the other one too.

After playing with it for a few days, I agree the cost is easily worth the $$. It's almost in a different playing field of "normal" LLM usage.. and more so in the "good productivity tools" realm.

I much prefer the standalone design to being editor integrated.

The cost is absurd (compared to other LLM providers these days). I asked 3 questions and the cost was ~0.77c.

I do like how this is implemented as a bash tool and not an editor replacement though. Never leaving Vim! :P

elliot07 — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 18:20:48 +0000

I agree with a lot of this, except for the part about de-risking deployments. That should not be a reason why to adopt a feature flag platform - that is a symptom of a bad deployment pipeline that should be fixed which is a whole other story.

It would be great if you could paste in an existing k8s file to analyze as well. Would help for onboarding/modifying existing templates you haven't worked on in awhile, etc.

Store the encrypted env file (ejson is good) in your project and have a shared 1Password key to decrypt them.

One suggestion to speed up perf. Use bucket#signed_url instead of file#signed_url, otherwise it's doing an HTTP request to Google every generation.
