An often overlooked advantage of Electron based apps is they can convert any older version of laptop into a nice toaster oven.

This is fantastic as I can toast or reheat my frozen waffles on the same machine which is also running a agentic loop on codex desktop to cook my software.

Also so many people with so many guns.

Mass Unemployment with no healthcare or supporting social services , very few opportunities and lots of guns.

It will not be ok.

Please don't take offense to this very dumb question:

Why can't you do the planning ? Figure out what needs to be done , break it down into small tasks and then ask the agent to execute those small tasks?

When we executed projects in the past, this is what I would do as a lead: figure out the overall software architecture and delegate the tasks to developers.

This way I always knew how the system worked and could extend it as needed. I am not in development role anymore but I am trying to understand why we are delegating planning and software architecture to coding agents?

Any evidence to back that up?

Average folks like their Excel and Word. Most families have MS subscriptions like they have Netflix subscriptions.

Monopolies will continue as Token prices continue to rise.

How do you take Creatine ? And how much for what age group and weight?

Has anyone used Keycloak for actual production? I have often thought about it but I stick to Auth0 just because I don't know if Keycloak has a good track record?

I am not following this obsession with SOTA and benchmark rankings

I have been using DeepSeek and GLMnmodels with OpenCode and Codex and Claudr side by side.

I have not found the Chinese models lacking. I enjoy for coding and like to maintain full control of my codebade and deeply care about the GOF patterns. So I am very stringent in terms of what I want the LLM to code and how to code.

So from my perspective, they are all about the same.

This is not your feed.

I appreciate the fact that HN does not have personalized echo chamber aka feeds.

Government overreach is a concern for a lot of HNers; hence this was voted up.

>> Apple has offered products with little value over competitors

My Pixel dropped connections unexpectedly. The battery would barely last till end of day.

Apple hardware is simply better value for the money

maybe writing code is cheap . But writing unit tests that actually test stuff that matters is suddenly so much more important and expensive.

Humans are accountable to each other. Humans can be shamed in a code review and reprimanded and threatened with consequences for sloppy work. Most, humans once reprimanded , will not make the same kind of mistake twice.

I used to be a big advocate for Salesforce in my organization. And it was really great .. allowing us to deliver new functionality without the usual IT procurement bureaucracy.

Now with cloud maturity and Vibe coders who will get better and cheaper, I think it's possible to replace all the features we use on Salesforce at a fraction of the cost of our Salesforce licensing cost.

FoundationDB Record layer doesn't get much attention here but I have found that all my use cases are satisfied by it.

And I get the benefit of resiliency and DR for free.

If you are a developing for My SQL and you are using Java/kotlin/closure/scala consider this as well.

If I may ask, does the code produced by LLM follow best practices or patterns? What mental model do you use to understand or comprehend your codebase?

Please know that I am asking as I am curious and do not intend to be disrespectful.
