I’d be super careful taking any drug which messes with your brain chemistry.

Once people realize the fundamental incompatibility of these new repos with the old ones, they’ll be furious. GitHub will back down.

It’s like IPv6. Just worse.

My prediction: 20 years from now everyone will still use SHA-1 git. That will be simply easier.

It’s not any better today. Probably the only difference is that you’ll get some ads too.

- I’m sorry officer I didn’t know I was speeding. My car isn’t equipped with an instrument cluster.

- Oh, I see, go on then.

Just copy Claude’s output and shove it into Gemini and ask to rephrase.

Sometimes you are forced to use it - e.g. Bun in Claude Code. I like Opus models, but can't run them outside of Claude Code/Bun in subscription models.

I’d really suggest to run Claude Code in a sandbox! Anthropic can’t be trusted.

I run it on Mac with sandbox-exec. No access to AWS, database, pretty much just files in the current folder. Even if it goes rogue, it can’t do much harm.

Love the car, Toyota rocks with these GR cars (Corolla, Yaris). Mods are also super cool!

Feels like the seventies. Remember the time when tobacco CEO-s sweared, that they didn’t know cigarettes are unhealthy?
