For what I am currently doing, years, if not a decade or maybe even two. Claude has already been running for 3 months constantly working on this project. I've been trying to do this several times before, but the scope outgrew my available time/life, too big for one person. But now I can actually build a production release by just setting the direction and let Claude to all the wiring, plumbing, tests etc.

I do now add all the major features I want, and write a task list where I add a few more minor tasks each week that just come to my mind. I need to write them down before I forget. I often ask Claude to implement several different implementations/algorithms and compare them. There are plenty of trade-offs, which usually end up in building configuration profiles, so the application can work optimally in multiple environments.

The specification is actually really large, and has grown over time as I've been learning and new ideas has come to my mind. I do not review/audit the code, it's massive would take me months, no chance! I do however use code inspection/audit tools like TSAN, ASAN and more. I will also spend time on full code reviews with the coming Fable 5.5 when a release is about ready. I do however review behavior together with Claude, and this is also where the specification grow, because this and that should be possible, but not this and that. User stories also helps.

Yeah, I should see if I can create a similar skill. The tests do spend some time to complete.

Claude: Confirmed: 195M of the 212M cache tokens (92%) come from full re-writes after 5+ minute gaps, accounting for 77% of relative cost. Now I'll check the existing wrappers so the skill builds on them.

Its easy when you spawn a couple of subagents in a homelab with a rack with 5+ servers.

This is how one of my claude code session looks like right now, one prompt from yesterday:

I really like the having DeepSeek Flash + Opus 5.5 as advisor/reviewer at the moment. I run through a $200 Claude Code subscription in less than 24 hours now just for a single project, and I hate fiddling with different accounts every day. Now that I get a 200 USD api credits inlcuded with the subscriptions I have rewritten my coding agent workflow completely.

I do the same, a single app on a zfs filesystem I can snapshot/send/receive

I play BAR a few hours every week. Online games are really good and smooth. BAR is by far the best RTS out there today. It only misses an awesome single player, but its coming now.

Some of the elements in BAR is really awesome, radar, anti-radar, radar killing rockets, EMP on anti-nuke. The strategic depth and complexity is really at DOTA level.

It's by far the greatest RTS to play for the next 10+ years. And its free.

Pulsar 5.0 has two headlines. Scalable Topics are a new kind of topic that grows and shrinks with demand while preserving per-key ordering. The second is major performance and reliability improvements for the topics and applications you already run, which you get by upgrading your cluster, with no application changes. Oxia is the recommended metadata store for new clusters that replaces ZooKeeper.

The numbers are quite interesting, does bcachefs run on Almalinux 10? I only see Fedora supported. All my servers run Almalinux today and I am super happy with it, no plans to use something else.

How is root support for bcachefs? This is the one thing I really miss with ZFS today, its just too much work. I do love my FreeBSD systems with a root ZFS though.

I have already created a croos-platform solitaire game in Rust with Opus 4.5. Done in one evening. I absolutely do not understand why OpenAI could not write a proper application in 6 months. Do they struggle to use the product they sell?

ROCE do require proper nic/switch tuning. But if you go all in on Mellanox NIC's and switches, its basically on knob on the switch: roce

If you buy CX3 and Mellanox SX6036(easy fan adjustment and low power usage) switches on Ebay for cheap. Which are great up to 56Gbps. You can run infiniband which is way easier to setup, just remember you still need to enable IP over IB to start the handshake for the RDMA connection.

Yes, nfs with rdma will increase your performance significantly.

I fully agree with the author, and I have stayed on vanilla JS for decades now. I like the simplicity, ownership, zero dependecies. I have my own bundler in Spring Boot using Google Closure Compiler, which works autonomously with the javascript assets. No nodejs needed.

Also with the developer disruption of agentic coding AI, the arguments for using vanilla JS is even stronger. Code reviews of code/solutions is much easier. Scoping of code paths for each server-side render templates is easier. The AI does all the boilerplate coding, while keeping it readable and debugable. Implementing design patterns is just common computer science stuff, and the coding agent is pretty good at it.

I also what to mention, as a business owner, and boss of a startup. All developers here work with vanilla javascript. They were first surprised, but today they prefer it by a huge margin because of the simplicity and zero dependency and non existing build steps. The web browser is the framework, you need another abstraction over the web browser.
