<p>It's a constant job on my side, but asking the algorithm to not show me this trash channel seems to be working for me.<p>As soon as I see a clickbait thumbnail/title, I ask to not show it anymore.<p>On a daily basis I get 90% of interesting content on the home page.<p>It particularly works great for music; now I get better recommendations from YouTube than from Spotify (which is my main music platform).</p>

<p>I went on Kilo's website and it's seems to be closing doors on what I'm already doing.<p>My coding is done with OpenCode with an OpenRouter API Key.<p>Going with KiloCode would be doing the same, but with some more layers.<p>And given that I can't see the on-demand API pricing, I'm really not convinced on how it would be an improvement.</p>

<p>People may feel differently about the fee that OpenRouter takes, but I think the service they provide is worth the extra cost.<p>Having access to dozens of models through a single API key, tracking cost of each request, being able to run the same request on different models and comparing their results next to each other, separating usages through different API keys, adding your own presets, setting your routing rules...<p>And once you start using an account with multiple users, it's even more useful to have all those features!<p>Not relying on a subscription and having the right to do exactly what you want with your API key (using it with any tool/harness...) is also a big plus to me.</p>

<p><p><pre><code>  > However, code quality is becoming less and less relevant in the age of AI coding, and to ignore that is to have our heads stuck in the sand. Just because we don't like it doesn't mean it's not true.

  > [...]

  > We are increasingly moving toward a world where people who aren't sophisticated programmers are "building" their own apps with a user base of just one person. In many cases, these apps are simple and effective and come without the bloat that larger software suites have subjected users to for years. The code is simple, and even when it's not, nobody will ever have to maintain it, so it doesn't matter. Some apps will be unreliable, some will get hacked, some will be slow and inefficient, and it won't matter. This trend will continue to grow.
</code></pre>
I do agree with the fact that more and more people are going to take advantage of agentic coding to write their own tools/apps to maker their life easier.
And I genuinely see it as a good thing: computers were always supposed to make our lives easier.<p>But I don't see how it can be used as an argument for "code quality is becoming less and less relevant".<p>If AI is producing 10 times more lines that are necessary to achieve the goal, that's more resources used.
With the prices of RAM and SSD skyrocketing, I don't see it as a positive for regular users. 
If they need to buy a new computer to run their vibecoded app, are they really reaping the benefits?<p>But what's more concerning to me is: where do we draw the line?<p>Let's say it's fine to have a garbage vibecoded app running only on its "creator" computer. Even if it gobbles gigabytes of RAM and is absolutely not secured.
Good.<p>But then, if "code quality is becoming less and less relevant", does this also applies to public/professional apps?<p>In our modern societies we HAVE to use dozens of software everyday, whether we want it or not, whether we actually directly interact with them or not.<p>Are you okay with your power company cutting power because their vibecoded monitoring software mistakenly thought you didn't paid your bills?<p>Are you okay with an autonomous car driving over your kid because its vibecoded software didn't saw them?<p>Are you okay with cops coming to your door at 5AM because a vibecoded tool reported you as a terrorist?<p>Personally, I'm not.<p>People can produce all the trash they want on their own hardware.
But I don't want my life to be ruled by software that were not given the required quality controls they must have had.</p>

<p>I guess it depends the type of work you do.<p>To me, since I always need to have two apps side by side, a 34" screen have done wonders.<p>I have my main app as a regular 16/9 window, and the secondary on the side.<p>By putting the screen at the right distance and height, I don't have to move my head and my eyes just move a little to go through everything on the screen.<p>And my main window still give me more information than if I had full-screened it on my MBP 14" screen (typically, I can see my whole Jira dashboard on the 34" screen while I have to scroll on the 14").<p>On the other hand, having two screens (laptop + external) is terrible. Not the same resolution, having to turn the head...<p>------------<p>One thing that is bothering me reading the article: I find the whole clutter on OP's desktop quite distracting!<p>The cables coming out of the laptop, the things on the wall behind the laptop... That's something that would definitely kill my focus!<p>At the office and at home, I've put a blank wall/separator in front of me so the only thing in my vision is the screen.</p>

<p>It depends on your workflow I guess, but the advantages of having a Hugo version tagged in an image:<p><pre><code>  - sharing it easily between computers/users (docker pull registry/image:tag)
  - having the appropriate binary version embedded in your code through a docker-compose in your repo
  - having custom aliases dedicated to hugo included (build/serve/run...)
  - using the exact same image in your CI/CD
  - not "polluting" your local computer with some more stuff</code></pre></p>
