Yea, I have started using c++ for some of the stuffs previously used python for. When agents is doing the grunt work, better to go even closer to machine.

At this point, I haven't even read around 30% of the code base in my open source project. I know our works by my manual testing. AI keeps writing tests for itself, even though I don't explicity ask for it, and I am not complaining.

A simple framing for reference.

Electrical Grid Frequency:

50 Hz = 3000 RPM.

60 Hz = 3600 RPM.

So, for Gaming Monitors 144 Hz = 8640 Hz.

Maybe this is one of those topics to let an army of agents get loose.

Nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

I hope it brings the RAM prices down!

Same here. Late to agentic party. 1st month was Codex, 2nd Claude, already thinking 3rd will be Codex again! Since Fable will be gone soon.

ramshanker — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 18:48:47 +0000

For me the Best Pros is "That one random-internet-comment is a good usability improvement, ask LLM to do the small change and commit immediately."

Smaller ideas need not be approved, or held back by schedule pressure from bean counters. Just Do It. :). It's the small corrections which end up polishing the product as good as "professional usability studies".

If they release a model comparable to OpenAI / Antropic, will there be any reason left for 1T valuation of other companies? At that point, it will simply become Revenue proportional to Gigawatts available. Whoever got the energy wins.

I can count 2:

Dec 2025: We use a commercial 3D modeling software to build refinery. There was no license dashboard in this ancient piece of junk. Fortunately license server provided verbose live status report through a command line. I ask ChatGPT to ingest the logs into a Django web application and generate weekly/monthly/yearly usage dashboard, and It one shorted the whole Backend + Frontend in 4 to 5 shot. There were around 10 regexes just in the log parsing batch script. I was totally speechless. Encouraged by the success of, I went ahead and made the dashboard for 3 more software in the same Django app. Released to peers by evening, feedback incorporated in 2 days to integrate Name, Employee Number, IP Address sync etc in 2 days. And it’s been live for 5 months, actively being used by all coadmins, even management has it bookmarked, to help with department redistribution. Making this thing without AI would have taken well over a month of “learning new stuff”, or paying external consultants too much. Even head of IT replied back, it was awesome. ;)

2nd , June 2026: I asked codex to something fairly complex before going to morning bath!, which would have taken me more than a week of learning DirectX12 API nuances and such things, 20 min latter, I return to task exactly completed with code changes in 5 different files. Build complete without any error. OMG. Free Quota over for whole month! I subscribed by the evening.

Once someone taught me "you can do xyz reading a book, but you cant do surgery by reading a book". Now replace the book with LLM. This is what "domain expertise" look like for some domain.

ramshanker — Sat, 30 May 2026 21:34:35 +0000

Agree on this one. As a Civil engineer, I can smell which software ( or some part of) was developed by computer engineers without much understating of the "domain". The worst offenders are software needing multi-domain expertise in the first place. Crude Ex. Payroll (Finance) and Leaves (HR) are 2 seperate domain, and they need to account for each other.

New comment by ramshanker in "Claude is not your architect. Stop letting it pretend"

ramshanker — Sun, 24 May 2026 19:31:57 +0000

With the new agentic capabilities, I am quickly running out of Architecture decisions I have already made myself! For my work-in-progress engineering application. There is also some kind of don't know every little if/else with my own Code now.

However the good part, what I had planned for 5 years, now looks like doable in 6 months. Looking forward to real use by the end of this year.

ramshanker — Fri, 22 May 2026 02:57:54 +0000

Thank you for the insight. This makes me feel confident, the L40S we are about to acquire with 48GB VRAM for engineering application should be useful for agentic coding as well.

ramshanker — Wed, 13 May 2026 14:31:03 +0000

I wish it offered a windows binary as well, since the original project gitea from which it was forked, does so.

Sometime you need to go where many customers ahem enterprise are.

As a developer of an engineering application, windows is the way to go 1st hand. It would have been easier to adopt one more application on the daily driver enviornment. Till than, I am on GitHub only.

This is the best publically posted model size, ever since top AI labs started treating model size as a trade secret. This should also guide next generation of inference ASICs.
