This matches my experience. My previous position was at a FAANG and sometimes getting a VPN link setup for a new host would take a month of approvals.

Writing actual code was maybe 10-20% of what I did. Most of it was meetings, design review, authorization requests, etc

What tools are you using? What settings? What process? What's your code review like?

I think this varies a lot. I find with a c++ project I'm working on that the LLM needs a lot of guardrails and guidance, and still gets a lot wrong. But with a vite/js project it often one shots complex and intricate changes in large codebases.

MCP is fine for exposing tools that don't have APIs, but wrapping an API is an MCP is fine if you like consistency.

Personally, for just tools, I wire up tool calls with context captured via system prompt.

And I'll try again when I have more time.

I gave it a try. Got a steam deck, tries steam os on my desktop.

I kept running into issues that took me time to solve. I understand that the only reason it took me time to solve these issues is because I'm new to it and that people who have been gaming on Linux for years already know how to solve them all. But what would happen was is I would sit down to play a game spend maybe an hour or two fixing issues and then after that I ran out of time to play the game. I kept this up for a couple months but honestly at some point I just gave up. Now I'm playing games on Windows again.

To be clear, I'm a huge proponent of Linux gaming. I just unfortunately am too busy these days to spend the time to get it to work.

Nope.

I've noticed this too, even when agreeing lots of comments start with a negative.

I really hope I get to see a permanent settlement on Mars or the moon. I don't care who settles it I just want to see humanity reach for the stars.

I've been seeing the same in my product; 429s in vertex.

We generally avoid any Google AI for the most part because it's so unreliable.

I think you're spot on. This will block and inconvenience legitimate users while fraudsters have no problem buying more phones.

Not a useful direction for real end users.

Is this available on the API? I didn't see instant. I see chat?

I've met a few people who write English but can't speak it. One of them is polish and learned to type English to play online video games.

Psychology suggestions opinion pieces (like this) are full of self serving bias and projection...

Agreed. It's opinion and unscientific.

The article fallaciously overstates the cognitive significance of shopping lists by misapplying general psychological concepts to a mundane habit. It relies on false cause and appeal to authority, conflating a standard compensatory memory mechanism with inherent intelligence. The author generalizes behavior, ignoring alternative motivators like memory deficits or anxiety. Furthermore, the piece lacks precise citations and improperly retrofits foundational research—such as academic note-taking studies—to fit its narrative. Ultimately, while it references factual cognitive capacity limits, the core claim that list-making signifies "sharper thinking" remains an unsupported editorial opinion rather than empirical science. Any article that contains "Psychology suggests" isn't worth reading.

HN isn't what it once was.
