Wow the mood is aggressive here.

Its like a lot of people really want pgrust to fail.

There maybe a chance this was cheating or it may have been a misunderstanding. But now since there is an open source version, why is there still this strong sense of negativity.

I have been working in Climate Tech for a while but not as long as you.

Unfortunately my conclusion is that Climate Tech companies in general have been delusional thinking the mission is enough and there is no requirement to be a business.

The reason I am saying this is not to discourage from working in Climate Tech. The reason I say this is to please not go in with eyes closed which is all too common.

Climate Tech needs to grow and be sustainable both for the mission as well as a business. And for far too long I feel business smarts have been missing completely in this sector.

Opened the link and it immediately shows how it generates so many files.

And my issue is always, how do I review so many files. Is the purpose just to go from 1 requirement prompt to so many spec files? How do I know the specs actually reflect the requirement?

I always feel I come away from projects like this even more confused.

I actually think I would like to use OpenClaw but everytime I go to the docs I give up.

It feels so intimidating. There's so much stuff going on. Maybe it is good for agents who can just motor through that volume, but me personally, I would want something simpler, maybe an `OpenClaw-lite`

Yeah either the benchmark isn't very useful anymore or V4 Flash is a really, really good model.

I kind of get what the article is saying. But I am looking at it from a different perspective.

The same set of things like skills, and custom tools etc can actually be used to get faster to the a product that kind of fits 1000 customers. But the change is that one can build even more custom things for some customers with those skills and tools.

Last year I built a custom integration for a customer in 2 weeks. Now I can probably do it in 2 days. What does that mean for the future, I have no idea, but surely getting custom solutions like this would be more of a moat not less.

Yeah I came to the same conclusion.

Universities use all kinds of hard to setup stuff which are often custom built. Slurm configs, custom configured HPC servers etc. All of this pays off though if you need to do heavy computations which a local machine won't do.

IMO it would be better to make Claude build out something that makes interacting with the HPC much easier. A web UI, Tailscale whatever.

I would have loved to see more of the harness engineering shared as code. Instead we are left with only the outcome.

I guess that makes sense since the harness is the product in the case of Cursor.

I am afraid this is a very click-baity title. I actually opened the article and thought I would learn something from it.

Instead what I read was typical issues about Agentic CLI's in general dubbed as `alarming`. I would have been happy if the title was just `Annoying` which a lot of `OpenCode` is. But adding the `alarming` made it what it became, something that attracts enough eyeballs to get to the front page of HN.

Thanks. I heard the word ABI so many times but only finally understood it after reading this blog.

On another topic, I also feel like quansight blog is usually a high quality resource for Python related stuff. Usually its more for numpy/scipy kind of stuff, but this one is an example of more general Python related stuff.

Why are the plans and pricing for all these products so complicated.

I don't know where I need to sign up to try it out. What is pricing? Is it API or subscription, what?

I had the exact same experience with Grok 4.5 as well.

What I don't get is how does one use it. Only through API?

I don't really understand what Grok Build is? Is it an API? A CLI? What?
