I spent hours fixing scripts and restarting servers at 3 am or on off-days from it. Server intervention times of seconds. Best device ever!
The keyboard was comfy, screen was good enough, and you could use your entire screen for the console because the keyboard was separate.
It also looked wicked.
These days with these pathetic media consumption devices if I need to do something I pull my laptop out.
Not to invalidate your point, just saying it's a bit of a straw man.
Frontend has been solved for years.
The game I was using for this uses a standard memo pads mechanic to fill in the story and many were barely stumbling through it in their own native language.
So it's my impression that this is not entirely Claude's fault.
Conservatively, I'll blame it on "dyslexia".
I don't have a very high quality source but this does cover and expand on it: https://youtu.be/vFOnDsy58NU
Or "Karim lakhani how to learn with AI" and see Gemini's skim of the video.
The other thread is highly sensationalised and not really related. (Edit: sorry I thought it was a different thread, the one that's sublinked by OP in your thread. So disregard this paragraph. I can't contest either position, I'm a mere spectator. That being said, I don't see the contradiction, perhaps you could elaborate on that)
The best way we know of to learn something with AI is to do the work yourself, then watch AI blow you out of the water on the same task, learn its tricks and do the work again (better, even, since AI isn't that great at it yet)
Which means the teacher can use AI, and you can't.
This is also an entirely different subject to whether you should be learning that specific task in the first place or delegate it to AI.
Being a mess isn't a problem when you have more than 6 items context.
You don't get to pick what parts of the API you're porting during something like that, it has to work the same or some of the ecosystem around it will break.
(Love the cheeky exponential right past the end of data at the end of a straight line.
Forecasting 501: forecasts say the boss is smart)
If you want more than that you need to chain an LPE. Which are plenty these days sadly.
Chained just means they used php2shell to run a local privilege escalation.
Random bloggers jumped on it and said dumb blogger things. That is all.
This is one of the worst vulns ever and the security response from the people who actually secure things for a living was entirely warranted regardless of whether some blogger thought it was the AI apocalypse or not.
It's a horrible vuln and I don't understand what's with all the flat infosec society coming out of the woodwork.
The challenge server had vibe coded infra that made it hard or impossible to hack, but it was a configuration that can't be used in production and no one uses ( it was deployed as a PHP static content server instead of a dynamic site generator )
LiFePo4 however is excellent and reasonably low cost these days
Unfortunately that's only enough to serve a static site and definitely not why or how anyone deploys PHP.
Trying to scale this vertically is hilarious.
TL;dw: DHH recently held a RailsCon keynote funeral for hand coded Rails in favour of AI Rust. It's well presented and most of the attendees are probably out drinking.
Most people use the - at most, or rephrase.
One rarely if ever should write at a level that's above high school reading for day to day articles and tasks.
I've written for a large computer magazine, you know what the target is? It's John: A 21yo man taking ~CS classes and with some disposable income. Not a lit major. John has no idea what that wide - is, doesn't care, and wouldn't understand fancy writing anyway.
flat files, a tarpit, maybe zip bombs as the sibling suggested. Nothing calculated. I'd go with zipped Brothers Grimm
A few overwhelmingly smart people who had that as a hobby, and the very sad rest.
