Just quickly back and forth? For how long in total? Would love to try this

Most likely just incompetence

Yesterday I asked both claude and gemini to downgrade a package on manjaro and both failed miserably

I use these tools a lot and I would say they fail 50% of the time for my use cases and I baby them every step

”Is it just me” is such a flawed mindset. The reality is staring you in the face

This is my experience too, I can burn $20 on a big refactoring in a few hours no problem

A lot of the time (when it works) I think its easily worth the money, but I would quickly break their $100 a month budget

The inspector will be AI btw :) (and the year 203x..)

Its pretty clear at this point that people want this kind of control implemented, its in the ”zeitgeist”. I have not figured out why, but it does seem that people are more scared then ever.

Its a bit weird on HN where people generally understand this problem regarding privacy, but in other topics like this one they act like the general populace ”put the speeders in jail!”

Yeah me neither, I think the CSS being cool and hard to use was the real reason. People like being ”elite”, and tables were just dead simple.

I am surprised people here still hold on to that era of CSS. There are even people in the comments being proud of clearfix

But I should probably be thankful for CSS for getting me out of webdev early :)

This would put anthropic in the business of minimizing the context to increase profits, same as Cursor and others who cheap out on context and try to RAG etc. Which would quickly make it worse, so I hope they stay on api pricing

Some base usage included in the plan might be a good balance

Yeah the amount of disrespect of developer time they show here is crazy. You could have made the billing api backwards compatible for 10 years, its a super small api, but instead they force breaking changes every couple of years

Maybe it is a strategy for cleaning up old apps or something, but I doubt it

Seems like a good way to have a bunch of new products to also support

I also have my own vscode extension for luau debugging, still have not moved to the type system due to lack of any decent class typing

But the debugger is so good, I dont know any other debugger with such low overhead in any language

From Software (souls games)

Rockstar with the GTA series

Valve, Blizzard?

Without the work of the author this bug would still not be fixed. So credit for that work (which seemed quite involved) would be fair and natural, no?

I am surprised and a bit sad at so many comments questioning the author

You still cant really teach it your code base, context window is too small, fine tuning doesnt really fit the use case, and this RAG stuff (retrieve limited context from embeddings) is a bit of a hack imho.

Fingers crossed we are there soon though

Seems this is about people skills. Some people are weird and annoying and you have to find ways to thrive even with their presence, or move to another project as others are suggesting

Many different ways of dealing with it,

- from not responding at all (I do this often when people just ”ping” without stating their business),

- to asking what the matter is and if its urgent otherwise lets discuss it (a good while) later when I have time (I do this often too, my job is programming and requires focus time)

- to just saying that you are busy right now

Just a few ideas, find the guts to experiment and learn

I actually rarely bring up these kind of issues with managers, I find its mostly about signaling and breaking the loop that annoying people thrive on. Learn to subtly draw a line, repeatedly if you must, without being confrontational
