Great, trying it out.

I hope whoever seeks to replace humans with AIs to write code never find this comment.

Android has good patches for everything except X thanks to Elon's meddling. There's a cumbersome workaround but I'm just choosing to use it within brave, or other PWAs offerings.

Why did the OP make a comment about the project like he was someone else?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47560380#47560381

When it's clear he is one of the major contributors to the project?

The team behind Windsurf was acquired by Google, but Windsurf remains its own independent IDE somehow.

If I was 60 and still had to do any work like this I'd consider myself a failure.

Can we also ban accounts that post racist stuff?

Got it.

Since I primarily used ChatGPT, I picked up a bunch of prompts from people sharing it in order to optimize for better results. I don't know if this is relevant anymore as I think they've fixed quite a bit and now you can customize tone and warmth directly.

My prompts were more on avoiding filler, be more direct etc, no emojis etc.

That was what I felt too. Why even need an interview for an acquihire when you have a direct link with the founder/CEO?

Couldn't you ask Claude Code to vibe-code a Swift app?

Do you customize or personalize these at all? Or use it just out of the box? I use gemini for image generation and as an, assistant through my android although not frequently. As a chat assistant the online Google UI is a turnoff personally.

In my case, Instagram eventually got to a point where most of my friends and family stopped posting. And I started following more creators because their content was interesting. These days there are some a few people I follow who are friends and I mostly just send them dumb reels. I see it more as a platform to consume content than keeping up with updates.

That said, I go through cycles of removing the app and reinstalling it later because it gets addictive.

This seems to be a recent popular tool to handle this - https://github.com/tw93/Mole

I also prompt warp/gemini cli to identify unnecessary cache and similar data and delete them

Thanks, I'll try more of Claude. Back in the day when I first tried it out I easily burned through message limits every day. I've been mulling over paying for Claude Code but I just keep using the free tier of Antigravity and some from my Pro plan.

I happen to have a Gemini Pro subscription that I got through my network provider in India, but i use it only for coding and Nano Banana slop. And occasionally live audio/video chat from my mobile which is actually the best use case I've seen so far although it gets old pretty fast and isn't great beyond basic tasks.

As someone who can't afford to care about ethics and pay a monthly subscription fee, is there anything in the regular Claude chat that beats OpenAI?
