yes I'm using Fable to inspect, generate plan and architectural docs then using Gemini to implement then have Fable review, find bugs. saving lots of usage.
Interesting idea. Would need new laws enacted and government oversight which I'm not sure how people feel about that especially for minors. Maybe there will come a time where all people (in the US or otherwise) have some form of government document that uniquely identifies them (a trusted identity platform not just an ID) though there is and will be lots of pushback. A simple search revealed this: "The implementation of universal government ID systems, particularly digital IDs, is frequently criticized as a key component of a dystopian surveillance state. Critics warn that such systems can lead to mass surveillance, restriction of freedom of movement, and control over personal, financial, and medical lives." So take it for what you will. Can we do this? Yes. Will we is another matter.
The UI is slick nicely done. Currently refreshing gives new batch of movies. Maybe when login they don't change or that's a feature not a bug? I like that it surfaces lots of movies I would have never even considered.
Having used Claude Code at work and for personal projects these past 8 months, I can see the attraction to keep going till your session cap is hit. I've used Claude for professional work coding, unit testing, personal projects in languages I haven't learned; completed work I had on the back burner for a number of years. I learned early on to take time for myself and this is no different. One must get out and run, swim, bike, weights, whatever but get your mind out of the computer and work and do some human necessary things besides just eating, pooping and sleeping. We need time to bond with our loved ones, parents, siblings and yes even coworkers. Until we as individuals take that time and leave the obsession (for a while), yes we will spend more and more time getting things done with AI. It's like any addiction. The dopamine hit is very powerful and we do need to reset our mind and rest and form long term memories as well as what my mom always said (take time to smell the roses).
We shipped software in the late 90’s with a hasp protection key required for use to prevent copying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_protection_dongle part of the process was to run a hasp obfuscation exe against our newly compiled exe. It was most likely an encryption algorithm that had the key on the hardware dongle. This exe is what was put in the resulting floppy disks and burned onto cd’s for distribution. I fielded many calls regarding issues with this but it worked and kept the software limited (it was a niche market). I can see something like this foiling any LLM inspection of the resulting binary as the binary has been drastically modified from its original. What’s old is new again.
Ok I have to ask you are you in it for the paycheck or the passion? How you answer determines your path. If a paycheck optimize for the largest salary you can conceivably obtain based on your ability and education. If passion follow your passion, get educated and eventually you will find some work in your field. The passion is contagious and will positively affect your life in ways you can't even imagine at your age currently (self satisfaction plays a lot into child rearing). Notice I didn't say money. The day I stop learning is the day I die. My advice, don't stop learning.
Sounds cool. Do you have any requirements other than what you outlined above such as any grammar examples? Reading this brought me back to my compiler days at uni. We used Oberon and had to create a compiler. It was quite the process! I remember abstract syntax trees that held the program and as we proceeded through the compilation steps that ast was passed around and inspected for all steps. This I found helpful: https://dev.to/villyp/how-to-build-a-compiler-a-step-by-step...
As soon as that change came through I set the effort to high. Have not regretted it for any coding task. It feels the same as Dec-Jan though now spawning more sub agents which is not a bad thing.
With AI, I've tackled lots of personal projects I had on the back burner for lack of time: recreating some old games, creating some marketing and shopping sites for the wife and also professionally: using it to fulfill business requirements. So in my little corner of the world it is being used and a lot mostly nonstop from Aug 2025 to present. Re your question: I think it has to do with all the rest of what's needed for a production system, the documentation, CI/CD, production deployments: all those pesky still-needed-human-things that are somewhat tedious to set and get correct.
We get a few not infinite. with a Claude 5x Max subscription I get 3-5 workable parallel agents that themselves spawn subagents to complete work in a ~3 hour window before tokens are spent. I imagine with 20x Max that could be increased to maybe 10 within a 5 hour window? so if you want infinite you're also talking infinite money. Working in parallel takes me personally to a higher plane of output than that of a 10x engineer as it pertains to fulfilling requirements.
you are correct flow is not achieved as this is not programming more like system design, architecture, QA, Product Owner work. It's using the swarm as your own dev team.
yes agreed. I'm running 3-5 parallel Claude at once with requirements as the input. My prompt is say work on section 5.1 or something very specific. Then I'm monitoring the work across all instances.
This is a real thing. I spent all of January doing Greenfield development using Claude (I finished the requirements) and all I can say is thank goodness I had the Max 5x plan and not the 20x as I got breaks once the tokens were used up till the next cycle. I was forced to get up and do something else. That something else was biking, rowing, walking. My productivity had never been higher but at what cost? My health no thanks. So I'm glad I'm using the time till token reset for my health. I time it perfectly. I do a walk, row, bike for 1 hour then as I arrive back the tokens are reset. I get like 3 hours nonstop use per token batch with the 5x plan. I've been thinking about going 20x but am scared...
Definitely have some questions to get a baseline understanding of the tech stack but then ask a problem solving question and listen to what they say and how they think and use their answers to turn the interview into a conversation by asking them questions using their answers as a guide. The flow will be natural for both interviewer and those interviewing and insights from the conversation are very revealing.
