Wow, so React Native and Deno both effectively have nails in their coffins. I wonder what's next.

Styling has always been a problem with the platform. For years it was not possible to make a select element look like what my UX designers want. I think we're closer now (and maybe fully there), but the platform is ugly and UX designers know it.

> I'm amused at how many hacker news accounts saw this and immediately jumped to the conclusion that you either were using the model wrong or using the wrong model.

Yes, so I'll disclose it: I was using Opus 5.5, on medium effort, in Claude desktop, which has full access to my entire repo.

Now everyone can officially lambast me for "using the model wrong or using the wrong model," exactly as you say. But I find it quite interesting that one of the commenters here assumed I was using Opus 4.6, because these mistakes sound like that old version! I'm using the version released just four freaking days ago!

I expect some commenters will now say, "Oh, you should have been using Fable, you old boomer." To them I say: "Yeah, well my employer doesn't allow me to use Fable." And, in jest: "Now get off my lawn."

My employer pays for Claude, and my approach is to use it as a better Google search. It's often not better.

Just today it made three glaring mistakes in one session:

1. It read a file in the wrong directory, because that file had the same name as the file in the right directory. It apologized when I challenged it, promising me that it would remember to "read import statements" in the future.

2. It miscounted the number of times a function was called in my repo. It said 20, while my built-in IDE search accurately showed 17. Again, it apologized when I corrected it.

3. It referred to a variable by name that does not exist anywhere in my code. It apologized, and said it was referring to a variable used internally by one of the third-party packages installed in my repo.

So many apologies.

It's the little things like this that remind me on a regular basis just how little I can trust artificial "intelligence."

And yet, continuing your analogy, she made an amazing discovery this way.

> Understanding an issue is not the same as fixing it. A good explanation can make things worse.

I couldn't disagree more. "A problem well stated is a problem half solved."

The same counting problem exists with GitHub issues. I notice this every time I close an issue, and the count of open issues is still one higher than the actual number (until I reload the page).

How do you stay motivated to do this?! I've tried to start my app in React Native multiple times, but it always sucks, so I finally started learning Swift. I'm already not sure how I'll stay motivated to learn Kotlin too, and rebuild the whole app again.

This looks cool, but my least favorite things about Finder are not actually related to finding things. I prefer column mode, but:

1. When I right click, I can't create a new file of any kind. I can create a new folder—sometimes (see the next point).

2. If the folder is full, it's virtually impossible to right-click an empty spot to create a new folder. You have to scroll all the way to the top/bottom and right click the very narrow spot between the folder and the header/footer.

I work with a guy that I swear is addicted to LLMs. He uses them for literally all communication, often dropping mountains of text for design specs that could have been written with half the words. Even on a 1:1 Zoom call, he'll type things into Claude and then read me the response! It's infuriating, and I've told him on a number of occasions, in as many polite ways as I can, that I would prefer to speak and work with him instead of Claude, but he just can't break the addiction.

The pronunciation of "Vercel" near the end of the "Typebase in 100s" video was VER-cel, with the emphasis on the first syllable, instead of ver-CEL with the emphasis on the second syllable.

Was the video generated by AI?

I understand the point. I simply argue that it's an ill-conceived point, based on various definitions of the word "entitled":

1. qualified for by right according to law

2. having a right to certain benefits or privileges

3. having a right or legitimate claim to something

No company is qualified for sales according to law, or has a right to sales, or has a legitimate claim on sales. Sales must be earned by besting the competition.

No company is "entitled" to any sales.
