GeForce Now Ultimate is 20 dollars a month. That’s 52 months or a little over 4 years for the same price as a Steam Machine.

If your internet is half way decent you’ll be able to stream games with maxed out graphics. Connects to your steam account or whatever game store you use.

So no, not worth it at that price. Either build your own machine or subscribe to a service.

Yes pumpkins are shareable, there should be a share button. Thank you, I’m glad you like it.

I agree Orca is packed with functionality but I don’t know what “weight” or “complexity” is. It’s just an app on my machine, not some software I’m maintaining. It can be the most complex system for all I care behind the scenes, as long as it runs fast and satisfies my needs I’m pleased - which so far it has been and more. I want to spend as little time thinking about my dev environment and the most amount of time thinking about what I’m developing.

To each their own though, I’ve heard great things about Herdr setups.

It’s not entirely what you’re asking for but do try to checkout https://onorca.dev

I was using just command line too and Orca just leveled up everything around it. Still using the cli but inside of Orca. I

Jetbrains dropped the ball hard with Junie and their typescript performance bugs. I left cause of the latter and the former could never compete with the rest of the ecosystem.

Thank you! Added search, it’s accessible from the menu.

Loved it. Been there multiple times since. Probably spent a year total in Tbilisi. One of my fav places on earth.

To be perfectly honest if you’re spending much time reading and/or reviewing actual code something is going wrong in the agentic pipeline. The time investment should be paid earlier during the design brainstorming and design phase - by the time agents start coding assume that 90% of their code is solid and the remaining 10% will be solved with some iterations. Yes this means spending time to figure out how to engineer your harness and everything around it.

I think the only code that deserves human review these days is mission critical code or iterating on user/agent facing interfaces to make sure dx is smooth.

The inverse is also true. No one has actually proven or provided that writing code by hand actually results in higher revenue….it’s just the way things always were.

I can personally tell you that AI has indeed increased revenue and growth and I see it every day, both in and out of my day job.

To each their own I suppose.

They’re correct, albeit likely misinformed in their decision making.

Industry is changing. You either have to adapt to keep with the times or find a tech job where AI isn’t necessary - which practically speaking will become a rarity over time.

Measure them on merit, their body of work and how well they will fit into the team culture.

As for the questions you’re asking, instead of asking old-school coding interview questions ask them stuff that is actually relevant to agentic programming.

Ask them to build a harness, have them explain what skills are, have them build a self-made implementation of Claude Code as take-home assignment.

The times have changed, you need to update interviewing questions to meet them. Start with agentic questions and ramp them up into more complex scenarios. This is how you gauge your candidates, see how they think and solve their way out of it.

Try to determine how creative, adaptable, motivated the candidate is. Figure out what there actual skill-sets are that they can bring to you, not whether they know some CS pedantry

Totally agreed. Burying head in the sand which a bunch of the industry seems to be doing is a recipe for disappointment and dissatisfaction with the changing tides.

Try to ride the wave rather than being swept under.

AI is coming for hardware. I’m 2 weeks into working with ESP32 devices using nothing but AI and my intuition to build new firmware for the type of hardware I want to build. Haven’t touched electronics for 10+ years since uni.

Could be producing a bunch of slop but that’s where the decades of engineering experience comes in to still find a way to ship reliably.
