It’s so Frustrating to see a useful feature/tool get abandoned due to low usage. But those of us who use pair programming absolutely love it :)

It’s a tool that helps further human connection, imo. And we could all use a little more of that atm.

If you can’t describe the project as well as the AI (because you vibe coded it), then take a dang hour to ask the AI how it works and do a proper write up without copy pasting. Nobody is going to bother otherwise; it’s too obviously AI generated.

This is good to know, but basically it means I can’t rely on old conversations any more. Using a “handoff” file to try and start a new conversation is effectively the same thing as what they did under the hood. So yeah, you can’t rely on old conversations to be as informed when you pick it back up.

Why not sub?"]]>I use the carry flag in a lot of z80 assembly for communicating a status of an operation. XOR doesn’t mess with the carry flag, I think it’s another point in favor of xor. (Though I don’t remember even considering using sub)
