The default sandbox settings of codex are stupid. I absolutely hate the permission models of coding agents. I just disable every safety feature.

@w8153328 One of my favorite projects. Literally running everything directly from the internet. https://t.co/4ryvg4FzOQ

If you don't like this, invent a better approach because this is literally the best approach right now.

[Sensurround @ShamashAran]

Can we PLEASE
for the love of all that his holy
STOP NORMALIZING THIS INSTALL METHOD

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@exanter Fair point, for me Java. I was referring to JavaScript making javascript developers hate classes. There not bad if you ignore inheritance.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@mc_ees Host Compute System. That's what I'm playing with right now.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

Windows is really an incredible treasure trove of technology. It's a shame it's not cool and has a terrible OOTB experience.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@GregorySchier well, at least "this" worked. But classes are terrible in that inheritance is a terrible idea. But faking a class with method scope is just as bad in my mind.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

It's a shame JavaScript made people hate classes. I don't like classes either, but using a function as a constructor and scope to basically mimic a class because javascript abused you is just not great. Golang structs are very nice. I just want that.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@progrium Whoa. Whoa. No.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

CQRS is a very good pattern. I hate fancy terms. But CQRS is a much better pattern than tradition REST/CRUD patterns where you have models and mutate those models. I think if JavaScript frameworks adopted CQRS patterns they would realize there's simpler way to do this.

I predict Claude Code will hit the trough of disillusionment next Tuesday. I think we are going to hit a weird pause, for at least a week.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@unixterminal @1kevgriff Is .Net owned by a foundation?

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

I've spent all day yelling at GPT-5, telling it to stop doing complicated things. Why do I even use AI? It's so stupid.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@stepbystepnomad @opencode No that looks normal, pretty sure it's just trying to parse html with regexp.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@Mallchad Are you trying to give examples of the worst possible solutions, like what not to do?

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@w8153328 define .net

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

I think the strange thing with PowerShell is just that it's a completely foreign syntax and paradigm. I can't immediately look at it and go "oh, it's like [x], I get it."

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@navanchauhan @soederpop @progrium well the backend is the browser. the browser is basically the new server/computer.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

I learned on vi. I used to admin solaris/aix and vim wasn't an option. When I learned programming it was Java and I immediately picked up Eclipse. So I used to have this split brain thing where I'd vi for admin work and eclipse for programming. Not even vim keybindings in Eclipse. I don't do that anymore, but I think it's why I never got hard core into terminal. I don't program in it.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

I really don't understand how people do pane spliting in an IDE. When you click a file in the file tree, where is it going to go to? It's so confusing.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@ifeanyi_we nope.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@adamhjk I like windows and clicking things. I tried i3 for a year and just couldn't do it.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@heroineworshipe There was this idea that mobile and tablet would effectively destroy the laptop/desktop. That didn't happen really. It proved that laptop/desktop is the best form factor for productivity. And a major part of AI is about productivity, so there's a good overlap.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

@navanchauhan @progrium "./configure && make && make install" was my life for many years.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

I just never figured out how to make it work in vim. I occassionally split so things are stacked on top of each other. But it's still just a weird experience. I really don't get how people do it, but when I see people that do it's typically neovim and a crap ton of plugins. Where as I basically use a stock vimrc and don't use neovim at all.

Basically I just really suck at being a nerd. (fyi I don't like star wars or star trek)
