Sure, but it's not a matter of capability but of low friction and sane defaults.

These things matter though a lot of developers don't seem to understand that.

In a uv project I can just git clone, cd, uv sync and I am ready to go. Nothing in the python ecosystem offered that before.

Yes. we switched from devcontainers to uv and the workflow is now much simpler and faster.

uv also installs the python version your project needs which is a huge pain in the ass if you use some old Linux distro with outdated python.

About half the t/s of an online provider, heat, noise, power consumption and on top of that you only get 75% of the intelligence? Sounds like a waste of time to me.

I mean, I pretty much agree with everyone else here that Apple software quality has gone to shit recently but the issues you describe are just awful.

I would not use a laptop with those issues no matter the problems MacOS has currently.

No thanks.

I am perfectly happy with Chrome.

This 100%. My current workflow is switching between CC and VS Code to review code, and it's extremely clunky. There is still not a single harness/ADE that can do everything correctly in one tool.

Between VSCode and AI, all the engineers I work with have stopped using JetBrains products.

I don't think the problem is AI itself; they can have AI too, AI as capable as something like Cursor, for example. The issue is that their product is bloated and slow, and much of the technological leadership they once had has been overtaken by VSCode.

Can't you just use a statically linked mold binary for the initial bootstrap, just like you use some kind of pre-existing, basic C compiler?

lol. I am being downvoted for trying to help people out.

This community is pure trash.

You can fork a conversation in Claude as well.

> LLM speedups have always been predicated on not understanding the code they produce as well as if you wrote it yourself. Reviewing even well written code to understand it in depth, has always taken longer than simply writing it yourself - let alone sloppy LLM code that you have to fix

I am at least 3x more productive by letting an LLM write my code and I review and understand every single line it writes.

Also, Fable 5 came up with some amazing solution and designs that I would have never been able to do myself.

I can say with 100% surety that my current project at work is MUCH better with an LLM compared to if I wrote it myself.

AI slop
