If you're salaried, you are not a task-based worker. The company pays you a salary for your full day's worth of productive time. If you can suddenly get 5x more done in that time, negotiate a higher salary or leave. If you're actually more productive, they will fight to keep you.

Your salary is not determined by your productivity, it's determined by market rates. 5X productivity does not mean 5X salary. Employers prey on labor market inefficiencies to keep the market rates low.

Any employer with 2 brain cells will figure out that you are more productive as a developer by using AI tools, they will mandate all developers use it. Then that's the new bar and everyone's salary stays the same.


Your salary is determined by whether you play golf with your boss's boss.

Yeah a 20$ plan is prob enough for the AI slop you need to fill in your 8h working time. Unless you have many projects that require more AI slop that is.

adding a hook to have it push to prod every time baby

We have to do this, otherwise China wins the "AI" race!

This also:

1) Assign coding task via prompt 2) Hook: Write test for prompt proves 3) Write code 4) Hook: Test code 5) Code passes -> Commit 6) Else go to 3.


you can just tell it do that or in your claude.md. don't need hooks

In some cases cc misses rules in CLAUDE.md.

In many cases.

so its back to hand coding stuff again.

They are going to slowly add "features" that brings handcoding back till its like 100% handcoding again.


This doesn’t come without consideration. You can see I mention this in the original feature request.

Yes - it’s fine to think of it as handholding (or handcoding). These model providers cannot be responsible for ultimate alignment with their users. Today, they can at best enable integration so a user, or business, can express and ensure their own alignment at runtime.

The nature of these systems already requires human symbiosis. This is nothing more than a new integration point. Will empower agents beyond today’s capabilities, increase adoption.


wow, they filed for it in 1995? that’s wayyy before Node.Js or Dahl came on the scene. Or before the language even mattered that much.

Yes.

Even though one may not like it, the trademark fairly belongs to Oracle.


Again, that's the point of the suit. It likely does not.

When I try to run two CCs at once I quickly get 429 rate limited, even on the $200 plan

Maybe the UI should allow you to still ask questions but in a queue to prevent this. It could have informative text like “waiting on 3 previous questions” and a progress bar of some kind.

Weird, I have not had this issue and I commonly run 5+ at once


All of this will be done by AI soon.

Yes, I’m sure you’ll be able to blame AI when you are prosecuted for tax fraud because your return was full of hallucinations and lies.

lmfao


some of my best work as a programmer is done walking my dog or sitting in the forest


Honda has a TLD????


This is really cool. I’ve recently also had an observation about the modern lawyer’s toolset: they have no idea what version control is. Lawyers email around countless duplicate copies of .docx files as their version control. “Red line” files only hold a single revision. This can definitely be improved upon.
