This is awesome!

One thing I've been doing is to use it for:

1. Compare the code against production data with MCP. We use a read only platform called Metabase which reads one of the MySQL replicas. I tell the agent to fetch production data and make a static pass (it doesn't run the code) in which it compares shapes and inputs, and oh boy it has caught a few misnomers.

2. To debug production data and create graphs. It connects to datadog (where we store the logs), checks the history of the commits, and many times suggest fixes. These are for low-medium impact like validations that didn't need to go through, or a step check that it was missing

3. Creating tickets on the board (we use linear). Now PRs are more detailed and can be understood.

And for coding? I've been spending the last 4 weeks scrutinizing EVERY output and decision from frontier models, and pushed back in many decisions.

Wow. This will affect universities and negatively impact the US in the coming years.

How many of the talent from frontier labs is immigrant?

I'd say it depends.

On the degree the software evolves and will be used.

The reason we've spent years discovering patterns, creating special syntaxes has been to tackle certain domain problems more efficiently and to have systems that can evolve through time.

The only constant is change.

Albeit LLMs chunk out code (and with great know how impressive output), the developer must have the know how to pass a certain threshold.

Writing in unknown languages may seem fine at first. But once you go to the edge, you'll be finding certain quirks, inefficiencies along the way that the LLM may work around it instead of removing it from root.

For example, I've been learning Effect.ts for some weeks now. I've used LLMs extensively, but before that there were a series of manual coding rounds first.

To understand composability, the nitty gritty, where things break, how, how the syntax is formed, and how could I structure some observability challenges I had around the library.

If I hadn't gone through that process, the code quality would be subpar. It wouldn't have been evident at first, but once the system would begin to evolve and adapt to feedback, things would be brittle, existing customers would be affected, and more.

I like to move fast without breaking things

Hi victor This looks interesting but I'm not understanding what this does.

In which programming language do I write?

Does this let me write an application, say in JavaScript, and then it automatically compiles it to a Desktop, Android, and iOS app?

Agreed I think this is pretty solid especially since you get all the Cloudflare benefits like CDN from the get-go.

Pretty cool tbh!!! Would have loved seeing the decoder code!!!

It's also pretty interesting to think how an attacker could exploit images on his behalf. Never thought that would be a way!!!

Thanks!

The best was when the duplicated question was ranked higher on Google haha

Thanks for the heads up! I'm using it self-hosted on a Hetzner VPS.

Apparently they also block certain ports. As soon as I route the traffic through Tailscale through the same VPS I can connect without issues (My phone was affected as well)

1000% I got legit Cloudflare Workers Anycast IPs that I was using for websockets blocked.

I also got blocked from using RustDesk.

It's been crazy. As this happens intermittently. I had to set up a tailscale exit node in one of my servers to circumvent this crap. I lost several days and called Vodafone (ISP) to understand what was going on.

That's when I read Reddit and saw that crap.

I discovered it 1 week ago.

I don't know why I never tried this in the past! SSHing my machine and vice-versa!

Just figured out that I could use my computer's terminal to send to my android's clipboard via SSH.

Pair it with Tailscale and we have a beast!

Yeah. I also like Windows, but MS has done a wonderful job to destroy the OS with newer releases.

I haven't had to tweak an OS like Win 11 ever.

Same thoughts exactly.
