I just did three tasks purely with Claude - at work.
All were pretty much me pasting the Linear ticket to Claude and hitting go. One got some improvement ideas on the PR so I said “implement the comments from PR 420” and so it did.
These were all on a codebase I haven’t seen before.
The magic sauce is that I’ve been doing this for a quarter century and I’m pretty good at reading code and I know if something smells like shit code or not. I’m not just YOLOing the commits to a PR without reading first, but I save a ton of time when I don’t need to do the grunt work of passing a variable through 10 layers of enterprise code.

Depends on the “app”.
A full ass Lemmy client? Nope.
A subtitle translator or a RSS feed hydrator or a similar single task “app”? Easily and I’ve done it many times already.

These are the principles I follow:
indieweb.org/make_what_you_need
indieweb.org/use_what_you_make
I don’t have time to argue with FOSS creators to get my stuff in their projects, nor do I have the energy to maintain a personal fork of someone else’s work.
It’s much faster for me to start up Claude and code a very bespoke system just for my needs.
I don’t like web UIs nor do I want to run stuff in a Docker container. I just want a scriptable CLI application.
Like I just did a subtitle translation tool in 2-3 nights that produces much better quality than any of the ready made solutions I found on GitHub. One of which was an *arr stack web monstrosity and the other was a GUI application.
Neither did what I needed in the level of quality I want, so I made my own. One I can automate like I want and have running on my own server.

Same thing would happen if they were a non-coder project manager or designer for a team of actual human progress.
Stuff done, shipped and working.
“But I can’t understand the code 😭”, yes. You were the project manager why should you?

What if I can find it but it’s either shit or bloated for my needs?

I’ve made full-ass changes on existing codebases with Claude
It’s a skill you can learn, pretty close to how you’d work with actual humans

Repost bots should be built in to Reddit tbh
Just take whatever was the top 5 a year ago and repost it at the same time
Karma guaranteed

Which part has enshittified?
The only change I can see that when I scroll down on my Plex front page, there’s a bunch of stuff that’s not on my NAS. Some of them actually interesting, like this full ass category of old school kungfu movies:

I’m only bent on people running software on shit hardware. Roku is bottom barrel crap along with cheap TV sticks.

Step one: get your in-laws a cheap Apple TV from whatever site you use for used electronics. Or even a new one.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Vs “just install Plex on any NAS from its built in appstore” that’s like 42 steps too many for the regular user.

I paid 79€ almost a decade ago. I got more than my moneys worth. Even the current lifetime (on sale) is less than a year of Netflix. More expensive than piracy + Jellyfin ofc if that’s your benchmark 😀
I have a Jellyfin instance running anyway, I’ll switch to that if Plex enshittifies.

He’s not that smart or political
On the other hand it’s quite literally straight from Russias strategy book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_generation_warfare?wpro…

- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 3 weeks ago:
My brain is like a vector database, it stores the “feelings” of information, not the actual information - if that makes sense?
I can make lightning fast connections in my head when something happens, like when something breaks in production, I see the symptoms and the vectors just connect from effect to the cause.
Can I explain to others why and how I know where the problem is? Nope. …Or yes, but it’ll take a long time for me to follow the feeling-vectors and put them into words I can actually communicate to other people.
For actual people and characters in books I also retain the shape and …something about them, but I couldn’t explain how most people in my life look like to a sketch artist.
When I read a book, I kinda retain the “feeling” of the characters and maybe one or two visual traits. I can read thousands of pages of a character’s adventures and I can maybe tell you their general body type and clothing - if they have an “uniform” they tend to wear.
I’ve read all 5 books (over 5000 pages) of The Stormlight Archive and I couldn’t tell you what Kaladin (the main character) looks like. I have no visual recollection of his hair colour, eye colour, skin tone or body type.
Oh, and DEFINITELY no voice in my head. I’d get myself committed if I had someone talking to me in my brain.

Even if you have a dynamic IP it’s trivial to set up automatic DNS updates with a good provider that has an API to do it.

It’s all explained here: valetudo.cloud/pages/…/why-not-valetudo.html
The dev has a specific vision and that’s it. If you don’t like it you can use something else.
Just like the dev of Calibre/Kitty. He does things a certain way because that’s the way he likes it. It’s a stupid and shit way, but Calibre has no real competition so I use it 🙂
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 4 weeks ago:
For me it’s either this or Framework Desktop, I’ve got the money, just waiting for the email from Valve telling the final price.
Steam Machine is better for gaming, which is nice
But Framework can do Mac levels of AI work, which is also nice, it’s also not completely useless for games.

Yep, and it seems the ram is upgradable

Most likely not, my guess is that it’s going to be super fast unified memory like in the Framework Deaktop

Foviated rendering is a massive thing, usually only done in the expensive stuff.
It gives you a pretty big FPS boost because the device doesn’t have to render stuff the human eye can’t see anyway
