there's a LOT of push from vibecoders to stop with PR reviews.

i've also heard "the prompt is the only thing that should be reviewed"

i'm using LLMs/GenAI to do one thing: write unit tests.

since i really don't follow the idea of "writing unit tests first", i implement the feature, test as a user, and then use LLMLs to write the basic unit test. then, i will write more tests to make sure i'm covering everything.

feels like an ok-ish compromise because LLMs can do some ok job with defensive code, while i maintain the main implementation and more advanced test scenarios.

>Isaacson’s “biographies” are glorified puff pieces. Musk is as unrecognizable in his as Jobs was in his.

i mean, you can also read liftoff and re-entry by eric berger and you will see the same kind of thing being mentioned.

honestly, one day i will understand why these guys go so hard on planning vacations.

one of the best parts of vacations is actually planning it! trying to find restaurants, organizing your days, trying to fit activities -- that makes you look forward to your time off.

really, i want to automate the boring parts of my life (did i really pay rent this month?) not the things that make me happy.

it's really weird to hear frontier labs say "our internal models are basically AGI" while also saying "airgapping is too hard uwu".

if your internal models are so damn good, they should be able to "one shot" airgapping... right?

i write code because i love it. it's something that makes me genuinely happy, so why would i give that up?

like normal?

but i don't use ai to write code for me -- i use it as a companion thing where i ask questions and then, instead of asking for code, i implement everything myself.

it keeps me sharp and helps me understand the lastest ai stuff.

yup, that's exactly what i do.

if anything is making me less productive or just plain stopping my job, i raise an IT ticket, tell my manager and go for a walk.

it's pocketable!

that's the main for me: i also have a kobo and bringing it around with me is just too damn annoying.

being able to pocket this thing and read anywhere one handed is so nice.

depends on the country, i would guess.

but firing because "ai makes us more productive" is basically impossible in most eu countries.

>You call someone an author when they use a ghostwriter.

i don't know about you, but i absolutely don't. either you write the book yourself or you are not the author.

as kendrick lamar wrote:

I can dig rappin', but a rapper with a ghostwriter?

What the fuck happened? (Oh no)

>The agent angle in this post reflects what we're actually seeing from developers during our private beta.

legit question: did you invite anyone that isn't doing agentic whatever during your beta?

i tried both and i honestly... i didn't see anything different.

i want tmux for three things:

1. easy splits

2. easy scrollback

3. being able to restart a session if my terminal dies

given all that, tmux works exactly as expected.

what are all these "significantly better ui and overall ux"?

yeah but unfortunately an AI flow can bring promotions, while scripts won't
