Wth are your usage limits? Are they increased? I’ll hit a usage limit in about 2-3 hours of using sonnet 4.5, and opus is a weekly limit.

It’s $1.75/load where I live now. Small washers and dryers

As a CS student who kinda knows how to build things. I do in fact get a speedup when querying AI or letting AI do some coding for me. However, I have a poor understanding of the system it builds, and it does a quite frankly terrible job with project architecture. I use Claude sonnet 4.5 with Claude code, and I can get things implemented rather quickly while using it, but if anything goes wrong I just don’t have that great of an idea where anything is, what code is in charge of what, etc. I can also deeply feel the brainrot of using AI. I get lazy and I can feel myself getting worse at solving what should be easy problems. My mental image of the problem to solve gets fuzzy and I don’t train that muscle like I would if I didn’t use AI to help me solve it.

Yes, from what I have seen

I mean I regularly read the news and I didn’t know CNN has a lite version

Hammerspoon maybe?

Thanks, that's pretty cool! Haven't seen that before.

But a chair cannot be copied from one home to another. Code uniquely can be. Good (perhaps artisanal) code is useful and better for everyone. The foundational improvements by a single person can get magnified throughout a project, while with other crafts the quality of their output does not have the same effect.

> Good (perhaps artisanal) code is useful and better for everyone.

How so? We actually don't have any specific characteristics on what makes code "good", nor do we have any quantifiable metrics that say "said good code is better"?

I may think your chair is more comfortable or that it lasts longer under load, but that doesn't always mean is "better". A cheaper chair could be considered better because its cheaper to acquire, even if its not as comfortable or doesn't last as long.

If you dislike the terminal or aren’t comfortable there, you should try using the vim keybinds for VSCode. They’ll get you most of the way there, and the rest is a lot of customization to get things how you like. The vim motions are the best part! They take a while to get used to, but they’re incredibly convenient.

Thanks! I've also heard this advice before elsewhere.

Also question: is there much of a reason to switch to neovim after learning vim motions in vscode?

Recently I was sent a 30 page proposal document filled to the brim with calendar, target and green checkmark emojis. I intentionally delayed my response. The sender got self-conscious, said that they sent an early draft by accident and replied with a concise one page document with bullet points in times new roman 12 font.

> It starts as a murmur in the boardroom, hardens into a cost-optimisation initiative, and eventually mutates into a strategic delusion: “This time, we’ll reduce our need for them.”

For me it’s the flatly self-insistent prose.

We need a rule on this website to ban comments like these. It’s unfalsifiable and therefore worthless.

What happens when we become content for the the push back against AI content content to become mainly AI content?

At this point it's AI discussing with AI about AI. AI is really good at this, it's much easier to keep this discourse going, than to solve deep technical problems with it.

Too many emdashes? That's an ai comment too

Non-sequitur.

Highly doubt that, as they’re already known in the OSS community. Browser Co. expanded as fast as possible without any way to make revenue, then ditched their flagship product to make a bad agentic browser

One way to expand even faster is to put out a quasi OSS
