esposito··on How to Write an Effective Software Design Document
No feedback on the design doc, except to say it's a good template and very helpful for someone who hasn't worked in a world where design docs have been critical. But can I say we use tinybeans and have a similar complaint (and others), and we would happily jump ship if there was an alternative like that laid out in your example.

Fun little game, thank you!

A link to the proper game: https://www.myvibe.so/nategu/bullet-garden

Looks like the author has a similarly-named sound-garden which is linked to at the top level.

esposito··on Anthropic Claude Max $200/mo: They claim 99% uptime, I calculated 84% Loss: $780
The way you have portrayed it makes it sound like your clients should be paying Claude rather than you for the work, maybe you could take some kind of broker fee. But is your AI assistant being down really as crippling as you make it sound? But I understand your frustration, $200 is a lot of money.
esposito··on Retiring GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini in ChatGPT
I do find it interesting to see how people interact with AI as I think it is quite a personal preference. Is this how you use AI all the time? Do you appreciate the sycophancy, does it bother you, do you not notice it? From your question it seems you would prefer a blog post in plainer language, avoiding "marketing speak", but if a person spoke to me like Miss Chatty spoke to you I would be convinced I'm talking to a salesperson or marketing agent.

A bold claim
esposito··on The Myth of the Second Chance
Do you go around harassing everyone who uses 'he' when it could possibly be a man or a woman they're referring to?
esposito··on Measuring GitHub Copilot's impact on productivity
It feels important to me, from the perspective of someone who doesn't want to be negatively surprised by auto-generated code. I'd expect there to be a significant difference in uncaught errors in Copilot code between people who believe Copilot knows what they want vs people who think copilot just does what it's been trained to do, mainly based on the level of scepticism people approach reviewing the code with.
esposito··on Shave and a Haircut
I couldn't get it to pass on my phone, but "scram"/"get out of here" is equivalent to a password rejected/401 response. A single knock does not match the expected pattern, so you would expect it to be rejected.
esposito··on Make your CLI demos a breeze with zero stress and zero mistakes
An ASCII enema sounds very uncomfortable.
esposito··on Pigeon – Crowdsourced transit app for New Yorkers
Based on their "crazy guy in first car" example, I expect there'll be more than the occasional example of racism, ableism, etc.
