This is very common in Chicago where I was a teaching instructor in a former life and witnessed this behavior across the board.

If (many, not all) public schools forced students to learn math where they were supposed to learn, unfortunately, the entire system would come to a stop, as almost no students can do basic math.

Might be good though to let people know where we really are as a society. Take a couple years off work back up with our rudiments.

The vibe in this thread is literally everyone going "script kiddie, it's all smoke and mirrors, marketing stunt" and acting like well that settles it.

Meanwhile literally no one has actually shown the script kiddie thing - nikcub's apparently looked.

Sure, moat, sure, OpenAI milks this, both can be true, but literally has zero to do with misalignment.

Just frustrating that folks are still having this collective delusion about the capabilities of the model.

respectfully.

Please tell me more about that! CAN still changing lives.

fellow Caps Lock to Ctrl remapper (and neovim) here...

Also I love your take.

Feel like a holy grail to me to back in the hot seat with repl driven but I can drop in and figure things out... all on the JVM. Madness!

Sure!

Setup is:

- nvim --listen /tmp/nvim — starts Neovim with a socket Claude can connect to

- /mcp in Claude Code — enables the Neovim MCP server, gives Claude direct control of Neovim

- lein repl in the nvim terminal

- Claude reads .nrepl-port, runs :ConjureConnect — REPL is live!

The loop is so dope:

- Claude writes code directly into my .clj files

- Then evals it into the running process via Conjure

- Sees the result in the REPL, iterates if wrong, all in the same conversation turn

- wrap-reload middleware means the web server hot-reloads changed namespaces on the next request

JVM + Syntax is upside for me.

Type's are for compilers ;) jk. I'm fully lover or type's but removing the constraint is easy in clojure. teams resist.

<3 the opposite of boring.

AI augmented Repl driven dev has got me back into Clojure and it's been changing my life (full on JVM nerd: Kotlin mostly on the backend).

The syntax is the best in the world (how computer's really operate?) but it's always been a pain to setup the tooling for me. I'm dumb like that. Now with AI it's become super easy to get back into the REPL and I'm in heaven.

Totally moving it back into workflow and proposing to bring it back into the dayjob.

It's cool to rediscover Applescript for me (I'm late 40's) but it's a funny thing where I can like smell the NeXT in it almost nostalgically but it's quite handy in this new era of hijacking mac mini's (OpenClaw obviously is one way to do it, but why not just straight to the core).

I personally think coders get better with age, like lounge singers.

amazing lore!

I like how in the fourth season, the computer props are literally just cardboard boxes.

I like literally love it, not ironically, it makes it more like a stage play.

Feel like the flaws are what makes it special. I don't want Kubrick for a tv show about BBS'

love how deep you go

he reminds me of truly the best bosses

also something about him with a good engineer

reminds me of me and my boss, i hope lol

And as I understand it loosely based on the fantastic and seminal book Soul of a New Machine.

I had a great EM once who said I need to read it because nothing has changed in 40 years, and I keep a copy on my desk.

Touching as well, as it's on Joe MacMillan's desk in the final scene of third season.

What's so great about it is:

- mushroom theory of management works - trust new graduates and juniors to win by not understanding the possible - throw all the corporate bs away, just build - competing teams (skunk-works, vs roadmap team) works - real innovation is built by tinkerers, from the ground up, not top down

as a startup weirdo in the age of AI, who pines for the golden era (as they call it the golden prarie) i highly recommend this show!

This is really cool, I don't want to think about infra tbh just want to build. Is there a wold where an on-prem version of this exists? I buy a box, install shell script, and it just works?
