My side project's CI crept up to ~27 minutes per run. I got it down to ~4, one measured change at a time.

Esto sucedió ayer con @Iberia La historia es cojonuda, perdón que es larga, pero no quiero que quede en paso porque nunca me había sucedido algo parecido y me gustaría que no le suceda a otros. Nos quisieron dejar en tierra y tras una fuerte pelea descubrimos la razón al conseguir entrar en el avión. Atentos a esto que es fuerte cómo funciona esta compañía:
Volamos desde Tenerife Norte a Nueva York con escala en Madrid. Facturamos en el aeropuerto de Tenerife y nos dan las tarjetas de embarque de ambos vuelos. Ambos en salida de emergencia pagada desde hace meses. Estas son las confirmaciones:

@adamwarski Indeed, I had no idea the token consumption was so high, still, the reports I have tried have been very helpful

Today Claude told me "this is something that can't be automated, it needs to be reviewed by a human (you or me)

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

@thorstenball Its for me to review what agents write, typically ignoring my CLAUDE.md conventions or skipping to run certain tests because that's unnecessary

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

@adamwarski Amazing! just found out that this already covers what I wanted, reviewer-specific gates to try enforcing rules, updated my flow with customer reviewers, we'll see how it goes

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

Working in public motivates me to push better code, getting free CI minutes is just a nice side-effect.

@Joshua_WD it was a local only app, somehow they pushed a non-compatible schema change which ended up wiping my local db... playstore trigger the update automatically.

An expense app corrupted a year of my data, so I built my own, with AI writing the code. Now open source: https://t.co/F8qYwjRSUf

@adamwarski @softwaremill Cool! Have you manage to find a way to get these rules actually enforced?

A new Scala framework we're cooking

I made my website so that you can ask chatgpt about my career

Asked Claude to code a flow that uploads a file from the backend to S3, it happily used a pre-signed url instead of just uploading it

I can't express how annoyed Netflix makes me, I don't want to pay for it, still, I paid for a month and can't use it because I'm now in another country

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

@adamwarski overall I got mixed feelings, dependency updates worked nicely because the task is straightforward to understand but addressing tech debt ticket wasn't as smooth as I hoped

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

@adamwarski I guess it shall be doable but I wouldn't remove the human in the review loop, causing a bottleneck... in a scala project I left claude to update all dependencies in a loop for a week which merged the PRs once the CI succeeded + another loop to review technical debt issues

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

@Krever01 nah, US recruiters also do it.

[Alexis Hernandez @alexitcdev]

@adamwarski I really like orca but the iterations are too slow, I tend to use it for complex/well-defined features but it would be nice to use it for smaller fixes too

TIL: Claude code keeps running in macOS even if you log out from the profile that launched it
