I had a similar experience, but I have a different conclusion. I used GitHub Copilot (with Claude Sonnet/Opus) until they made their horrific usage model change. I used a PRD skill and the plan feature was great. It asked me good questions which I didn't think about during my initial prompt. Then I switched to Claude Code. The model's capabilities felt impressive. It also asked me a few questions (but way less and only once/twice) in plan. But when reviewing the code, I found weird architectural/data flow decisions which just didn't make sense and it didn't really disclose them in beforehand.

My initial thought was to improve architecture documentation, so the model can read and update it and stops bolting on new features without consideration for the whole project. It did not help.

I'm now testing/comparing Codex and it found my old PRD skill from GitHub CoPilot. When I applied that to Claude Code, I now get similar good results. So my conclusion is: Yes, Opus 5 is bold by default, but you can tell it to be more unsure and get good results too.

I think there is some value in asking these questions. Maybe a better question would be how much effort and time was put into a project.

1. Maintenance: Projects that (seem to) have the same quality and complexity but were built over months or years by hand versus built with an AI tool in a weekend will probably experience different amounts of maintenance in the future. This is, of course, not a black-and-white rule. But simply knowing that people think a project is worth spending months or years on gives me an indication that they probably want to keep it alive in the future.

2. Testing: Projects developed by hand probably underwent a lot more hidden manual testing—maybe on different hardware, maybe by more than one person. Since my personal projects have gotten significantly more complex with the availability of AI coding assistance, I spend much more time writing prompts and thinking about integration testing. But this is not the case for all projects.

I also used em-dash before LLMs, though I would not call myself a typography geek. But yesterday I wrote a birthday message to someone and replaced my em-dashes with minus signs, because I did not want them to think that my message is LLM generated..

Yup. I recommended snapdrop to everyone in my family and friends for local data sharing without a cable.

When I discovered that it now uploads stuff to Limewire I was so annoyed that I had to admit I suggested a harmful tool for sharing private data. So much, that I will never recommend a similar website. Either I'll host it my self or suggest an installed tool through F-droid, if it exists.

I mean, it is entirely my fault. I knew the security risk, but set it aside, because I didn't think some known guy developing an open source tool would in his name try to grab your data.

> In addition, you are making the situation dramatically worse for migrant origin countries as their young people leave to be workers somewhere else.

I did not disagree. But I also think this is a whole other argument.

> German culture, norms, morals, and ethnicity will be a tiny minority in Germany the economic zone.

Ethnicity I really don't care about. Why do you? I'm also fine and actually glad about people bringing along their culture as long as it doesn't get in the way of life of other people and most importantly respects everyone's human rights. The other ones are a question of integration. There is certainly a lot of room for improvement, but making it sound like they come here and will replace German culture is a big stretch. If anything is killing German culture, it is increasing cost of living and it being somewhat outdated, e.g. a lot of meat in cuisine, outdated values from Christianity and alcohol consumption. If any culture is replacing ours, it is US/consumerism.

Wow. Comparing colonization with 20/21st century labor migration is peak far right playing victims. I guess the people of Hawai'i and the Maori were also asked and decided in a democratic process if they want their colonizers to come in and help rebuild their economy and do the jobs no one else wants to do.

> Similarly, I don't see how Germans wanting non-Germans to leave is racist.

Wanting non-Germans to leave when they are not refugees and do not participate in society is not the problem. The problem is the definition of non-German.

It would be inhuman to not give someone either citizenship or a permanent permit residency if they worked for a long time in a country. Do people really expect guest workers to come (alone?) into a foreign country, work the shittiest jobs for 15 years and then return to their home country to start a family with 35+ years?

Also, it would not work. Germany still attracts foreign workers in some fields (e.g. nurses). If you tell them, they get to work for 15 years and then have to return, no one would come. If the indigenous people of Germania advocating for no labor migration are ok with dying in their own excrement, because there are no nurses, I guess that would be one way to solve the problem.

> No no brought up remigration.

Not sure how "No no" is, if it is a language barrier or if you meant to write "No one". But the parent comment to mine brought it up.

> People want temporary foreign workers--who immigrated here in unprecedented numbers in recent years--to leave the country, not anyone who has darker skin.

I'm not very familiar with Canadian immigration. But if they are temporary foreign workers, they by definition shouldn't have a citizenship and instead just a (temporary) work visa. Also, I wouldn't call that immigration, hence it also isn't remigration. The challenge should just be, to no longer extend the visas and not fuck up the economy, right?

Ok. You are right. I think he is likely wrong, but I'm not a lawyer either. Just someone who researched this a lot for my own projects/company.

If that was true, all user-side aggregations would be considered as separate projects.

I think it might be possible to circumvent the GPL license, when the URL to the list would be user-configurable and the program also worked without the list.

Ok. Got it. Next time, I'll leave probably false legal advice unchallenged.

I would be careful handing out legal advice as a non-legal expert, especially when it is about "bypassing legal issues". You might be doing someone a big disservice.
