I do all my development as a longish running pipeline that mimics how I used to write software.

There is a high-level plan, it gets decomposed into steps that get performed sequentially. If during a step something occurs that challenges the original assumptions, the remaining steps can be reconfigured or the implementation stopped.

Well, I guess it's more rigorous than me, because it does a lot of quality checking along the way and if course, in the end.

This is the most boring approach to this work as you can imagine. But, after running this process hundreds of times and tuning it, today I can do about 10-20 PRs a day that are often quite good. I manually review and manually test and as models and my pipeline have improved the % of PRs that require zero human intervention after the initial planning is getting higher. Maybe 50%. For the other half, it's good, but there are often glaring bugs, especially for UI/UX stuff.

We are all people. This ally-of-the-west framing is propaganda. Who has harmed me more: this US or China? Who do I have more in common with: a tech worker in China or a US government official?

(I'm based in US - I use the best tech for the task).

I'm with the herd on this one: unless you're looking for a sort of "retro" feel, most designers are not reaching for Material Design.

I think git it the perfect system to bring order AI coding. Generate code however you like, but ultimately, it goes through a sensible, proven, and auditable pipeline. As someone also building AI tools, git it something I find myself "building with" - not against.

My entire repo is an audit trail of AI coding-agent edits

Maybe I'll give Nemotron another try. Yesterday I used the latest one on OpenRouter and it was bad - worse than StepFun

The sweet spot is really duplicating the wrong abstraction: I see you Claude!

I used to use GLM before I knew about coding subscriptions and it was okay. I've tried every version since 4.6 and this one is doing a great job a spec-implementation runner. If I had to guess... somewhere between Sonnet and Opus in terms of quality. Z.ai's issue has been service reliability. So far so good on day one.

There is plenty of biased and misleading information on the Internet, I can't imagine paying the NYT to get it from them.

The irony is that you can also use AI coding to just build your own Ashby since building Ashby is so easy to do with AI (apparently).

It really looks like they used Claude to design this webpage. I guess the color taupe it the marker of good AI today.

I don't think it matters how code is produced -- it matters what it achieves. Is there evidence that there is something wrong with recent Bun releases?

Reminds me of the day I realized that, during my lifetime, my country, the US, caused the death of 1M Iraqis -- for no apparent reason.

I'm not a fan of LLM's injecting themselves into PR/commit content. If you use multiple models, basically whichever one is operating git gets all the credit. But, even if you wrote all the code yourself, and just submitted the PR with Claude Code (or whatever) it would attempt to take credit for the changes.

I currently have rules in all of my skill files forbidding models from advertising themselves or taking credit.

This is one of the risks of dating a Mossad agent.

The people who trust bad information from LLMs are the same people who trusted bad information from search results and new articles, it just takes them less time to get bad information.

Love it. I can create closer to the speed of decision making.
