I have similar issue with dark mode applied to content - hurts my eyes. I prefer to have window chrome in dark, to make "fade away". The only application which allows me to have my cake and eat it is Firefox: I can run Windows in dark yet read web in light mode.

I wish Windows would steal this feature for the whole OS: I don't want Notepad to use dark for text, but per-app setting usually turns the whole app light.

I think of my AI use as me contracting an offshore team (no skin in the game) but I can be as micromanaging as I want to.

Thanks, yes, I own the domain for 20+ years, but pay yearly renewals.

I never really had any issues w/ GoDaddy, but am looking to change to Cloudflare now. I don't understand what am I paying $20+ for.

I just renewed domain name I own for maybe 20+ years, for $23/yr. This is nuts.

Unfortunately, it depends on the disc. Some discs always start from barely skippable junk.

Thank you, well put! Bots reviewing code written by bots is a self licking ice cream cone.

I use similar approach, but use gpt to review plan written by opus.

The most surprising part, however, is that when one model slops this into a plan, another model somehow is able to interpret it correctly enough to produce code to spec.

I see this at work. People are "writing" specs and design proposals with bots. This is noticeable and is a huge turn off. I don't have issues with using bots to aid research, but I'm not reading the doc you slopped together.

My instructions for agents have "find a synonym to 'resolve'". Otherwise I havea bunch of Resolver classes with every other method called ResolveThis or ResolveThat.
