@jussisaur I recommend trying Aider
it hasn't really been updated in a year, so no MCP/skills/subagents etc., but what you get is a focused code writer that plans and applies surgical code edits only where needed.
in seconds or subsecond, not in minutes of tool calling, thinking, grepping
@JacobColling@zeeg if you compare GH Copilot 2022
with Aider 2024 (Claude Sonnet 3.5)
with Claude/Codex 2026
you'll notice that we're on a log curve with much less progress over 2024-2026 compared to 2022-2024
@zeeg@stalmico what you're saying is that we will set up (llm-based) pipelines to extract important events from session replays instead of frontend requests
which sounds undoubtedly cool but tbh is pretty close to event based analytics
@zeeg@stalmico maybe for b2b you can sometimes get away with just session replays or even speaking directly to your customers
but b2c without event-based analytics is driving the mountain bike with your eyes closed
@robinhanson it's really much more simple than that.
people living paycheck to paycheck can't afford kids (or at least believe they can't afford kids)
people living paycheck to paycheck go where higher-paid jobs are
-> jobs are in big cities
-> people who can't afford kids go to big cities
@KentonVarda interesting! I've been sending every prompt in the same harness to different models at once and noticed claude to be the worst offender here: almost 100% of prompts start with a subagent
gemini launches subagents maybe 10% of the time
this is non-scientific obv
Some people see a racehorse running in a field, and they want to strap plow to it. They think an amazing racehorse is going to be an amazing plow horse. Then they are angry when the racehorse snaps its legs pulling a heavy plow behind it. They send the horse to the butcher and take the loss on the chin. "Horses are so difficult. It's impossible to find a good one!"
@thdxr Couldn't be more true. Previously you needed like 3-5 juniors destroying the codebase for years to make it rot, now you just let an agentic bro ship slop for a month and the code is irrecoverable
@antirez fast mobile typing requires swipe-keyboards and their UX negatively correlates with size. you want the keyboard to be as small as possible to not move your finger too much
@vkrajacic that's assuming that faster coding leads to better products, which is easily provable to be if not completely false then at least non-linearly correlated
agents in https://t.co/FM2xCDddKi can now drive the web tabs
- open, click, type, scroll on any page
- one shared space with you
- sky-blue glow to know where agents works
