if this is petty, then i'd love to know where openai employees having claude derangement syndrome sits on the petty scale

New comment by pdantix in "From Supabase to Clerk to Better Auth"

i'm currently in the process of evaluating switching our b2b app off clerk too. a customer asked for custom roles (diverging from our default set), which is technically possible on clerk now with role sets, but it's a bit of a workaround rather than first class.

thankfully i'm familiar with better auth from a side project, but migrating SSO/SCIM sounds like it might be a bit of a pain

i migrated to railway earlier in the year after being on vercel for 3 years. in those 3 years, i don't think i was affected by a single incident. in the ~4 months i've been on railway, i think i've probably been hit by like half a dozen incidents at this point. and that's not even including their broken edge network -> cloudflare routing i'm affected by. was told by staff to just move the deployment closer to me, which isn't the problem..

absolutely would not recommend

yeah i just canceled my cursor sub and switched back to vscode. work pays for my claude max sub, no point paying for cursor anymore when i can just use openrouter every few months to test other models if i want

at work i've spent some time setting up our claude.md files and curated the .claude directory with relevant tools such as linear, figma, sentry, LSP, browser testing. sensible stuff anyone using these tools would want, it all works pretty well.

my only machine-specific config is overriding haiku usage with sonnet in claude code. i outline what i want in linear, have claude synthesize into a plan and we iterate until we're both happy, then i let it rip. works great.

then one of my juniors goes and loads up things like "superpowers" and all sorts of stuff that's started littering his PRs. i'm just not convinced this ricing of agents materially improves anything.
