> infantile shit

I think it’s valid to not trust the US with your data. But if the reason is some TDS “Orange Man Bad”, it’s you that’s acting infantile.

Do you go through all this trouble out of principle or necessity?

Multiple rounds of specialized sub agent peer reviews that are prompted to counter this works really well. Once you have the right pipeline in place you should not be needing to do the simplifying yourself very often.

Claude -> specialized sub agents peer review -> specialized sub agents peer review -> repeat as many times as needed

It’s not worth your time until you’ve run through such a pipeline.

So stay inside like prison until I can be outside and present? No thank you. I enjoy mindful meditative walks as well. But I would never force myself to only take such walks. Now that I can be outside and work I will do so precisely for my mental health. Being stationary at a desk all day when you don’t have to be is much more mental illness-like in my opinion.

That’s not true. I would not treat a walk where I am working with Claude Code as a break. It’s just as much work as desk work is. You still owe yourself a proper break.

You can also just talk it out loud to Claude while you’re on a walk getting some sunshine. Done.

> You used to have to either care enough to do the design yourself or find someone who cared and specialized in that to do it for you.

Or worse, you gave up because you did not have the time to learn the skill or the money to hire somebody. In this case, your dream just died.

> does not replace Figma

Not entirely but I would use this and not Figma. I am passionate about system design not visual design so I don’t want to waste time in figma.

What if you’re a musician and use design as part of your marketing? Why should a musician deep dive design when they really only care about music?

> I feel sorry for anyone that will think using tools equals doing design, because of the truly marvelous human experiences that they’ll miss, and that could never be replaced by the shallow pride of empty achievement.

What if you don’t give a shit about design and it’s a means to an end for a project that involves something different that you do care about?

Depends on what you’re building and whether it’s recreational or not. Complex architecture vs a ui analysis tool, for example. For a ui analysis tool, the only reason you code by hand is for the joy of coding by hand. Even though you can drive a car or fly in a plane there are times to walk or ride a bike still.

It could also be a skill problem. It would be more helpful if when people made llm sucks claims they shared their prompt.

The people I work with who complain about this type of thing horribly communicate their ask to the llm and expect it to read their minds.

What does WOII mean?

I assume you are talking about WW2 and at first thought it was a typo.

I’ve been saying this for years. The radical far left political spectrum from Reddit infected HN.

> Consider that the POTUS is a 34x convicted criminal

To be fair, they were political persecutions and show trials just so that people like you could write that sentence and help the Democrat Party keep the presidency.

I’m not saying Trump is innocent in life, so don’t mistaken what I am saying for that. I am clearly and specifically saying that the 34 convictions are a joke and that only the gullible and the zealots buy into them.

> I’d be furious

To me it just comes across as low emotional intelligence. There are very few things worthy of being furious, in my opinion. Being furious is high cost.

Oh it’s deliberate. It’s been THE online platform for far left radicalization and extremist views for at least a decade now. It’s by far the most intolerant social media platform relative to the mainstream platforms.

Do you have any proof to support this claim? Stable coins use alone is in the 10's (possibly hundreds now) of billions in daily transaction globally. I'd be interested to hear your source for your claim.

> Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers)

This is an incredibly uneducated take on multiple levels. If you're talking about Bitcoin specifically, even though you said "blockchain", I can understand this as a political talking about 8 years ago. But you're still banging this drum despite the current state of affairs? Why not have the courage to say you're politically against it or bitter or whatever your true underlying issue is?

> even if he gets a huge sentence will just get eventually pardoned after 6-10 years

According to you? Because “trust me bro”? What are basing this on?
