This underscores a huge risk of broad agentic adoption in an enterprise. Your engineers atrophy and if the agent provider decides to squeeze you, you’re SOL.
Agreed completely. It’s my favorite language in its class. I need to build something serious in it someday. So far, I’ve only used it for building personal tools.
Niri is a perfect window manager approach, in my opinion. I don’t need tmux. Just Niri + Foot (terminal) and it’s perfect for the way my brain works. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommended it.
I've been working with Deepseek V4 Flash (with opencode as the harness). It's been almost indistinguishable from Codex / Claude Code for me. I'm sure I'll run into problems when I get to a stickier ticket to tackle. But so far, it's been quite good, and I find it writes straightforward code.
I do think the Chinese models are good enough for an 80/20 rule use case.
I agree with that. You can use Postgres as a message queue / task manager backing store without a database function, though, and it works quite well at the small scale that most sites / SaaS products operate at.
