LLMs produce 5x as much code as a skilled engineer for the same amount of work The code always looks sensible locally, but then you zoom out and realize the same types are duplicated 3 times with slight variations and fallbacks

Where there's a will, there's a way... My LLM doesn't have read/write file tools - it just has bash. So when I ask it to edit files it just uses grep/sed/awk or a full-blown python script to do what it needs

ugh AI produces the most gnarly bugs that it can't fix itself. Currently dealing with an issue where a stream of messages aren't showing up in the UI *sometimes* - no console errors. I suspect it's actually a database issue but i don't have a prior schema to verify 😬

it'd be really handy if claude code could not only read/write files in the project, but control my editor to walk me through bits of the code. think speech bubbles next to a given function and i can step through and ask questions along the way is there an MCP for this?

Fantastic commentary and analysis to a podcast some people were disappointed by. It had more disagreement than usual but that's what made it interesting!

so annoying that you have to use `docker compose` instead of `docker-compose`. LLMs are trained on the latter now, you can't change it!

me when first playing with LLMs: Wow this is so amazing! Look at all the complex UI and features you suggested we build! let's do it! me now: that's way too complex and overengineered, there's no way you're going to one-shot that

tired: using RAG wired: using "agentic search" with grep inspired: index your data and let claude also make RAG queries if it wants to as a tool call

oops my agent was adding a feature to itself and then caused itself to be hot-reloaded which kills all the current agent processes
