These descriptions are borderline insulting

> No sudo, no telemetry

Does it also not nuke your kernel? does it also not inject a keylogger? How will I know if it doesn't tell me! /s

if your job turns to putting square blocks in square holes, will you also be happy? because that's how coding feels like nowadays

isnt the LLM the wasteful part?

Nonetheless why not let an LLM make a guide and use that in the release, I don't see how that's wasteful

ramon156 — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 07:16:34 +0000

on a VPS i host anything that preferably should stay online but isnt heavy. think DNS, headscale, forgejo, etc.

Using this, i can expose services on my home server without giving access to the internet to probe on it. I can host an immich server and not be afraid that someone can access it

Ironically, the US is always busy with growth. How about celebrating a victory for once?

Take a look at NLNet vs YC. At NLNet, You set your milestones, do the work and get rewarded.

YC just throws money in the hopes one company is a unicorn. Both support growth, but they're not comparable at all.

I spent a lot of my time on the internet because I was lonely in my teens and these connections were exciting. I learned software dev because I was a nerd that loved math and loved the concept of building software, having complete control on how it's done. That was the concept I signed up for.

Software dev today is sitting in front of a prompt bar, sometimes checking the IDE, sometimes some DevOps, but nothing about it excites me anymore. Even hobby projects are dull because they're done in mere days. Choosing not to use LLMs has little to no reward imo.

I'm slowly moving away from software dev because the rose tinted glasses I saw the job as are shattering

It hurts my heart too :) I thought it was something I had to push through, I was wrong.

I notice a lot more people moving to a career where they manage, as opposed to do the programming. I see why.

I'm slowly phasing out of my software role, I don't even have that much experience yet. I just cannot sit behind a PC for 40 hrs a week talking to a chat bot. I would rather do something useful with the time i've been given.

the issue is, what will we use? companies are benchmaxxing, so how do you make a bench that cannot be cheated?

Human curated benches aren't accurate enough

it feels yucky to read LLM generated words on a Google blog, but i guess it's not too distracting. cool write-up though

Your clarification makes sense. The distinction between overall benchmark performance and why Terminal-Bench is an outlier is important
