The fact that people die with helmets on motorcycles should put an end to the argument that it's for our own good.
mrits··on The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon
You are describing a vending machine
mrits··on Show HN: ChartDB Cloud – Visualize and Share Database Diagrams
The databases often out live the abstraction.
mrits··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
I think we will see the opposite. If we made no progress with LLMs we'd still have huge advancements and growth opportunities enhancing the workflows and tuning them to domain specific tasks.
mrits··on Why we still build with Ruby
Ha! I've never heard of that one
mrits··on Why we still build with Ruby
We need a new 80/20 rule. I propose a 90/0. You get 90% done quickly and the other 0% over the next few years .
mrits··on Why we still build with Ruby
By western world do you mean California? Because in Austin rails was huge and I was a lonely Django fan
mrits··on ClickHouse vs PostgreSQL UPDATE performance comparison
I ported an entire analytic solution from SQL Server to clickhouse in a few months. While the workarounds for updates aren't great it didn't come as a surprise since I've used other similar databases. The joining/null behavior is called out in the documentation so that wasn't a surprise either.

CH has been my favorite database since I discovered PostgreSQL 20 years ago. My view point is don't use postgres unless you can't use CH.

mrits··on Thai Air Force seals deal for Swedish Gripen jets
“Could change” “ coming decades” what a statement
mrits··on Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 can now end a rare subset of conversations
Not that there aren’t intelligent people with PhDs but suggesting they are more talented than people without them is not only delusional but insulting.
mrits··on Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context
frontend path: /src/frontend/* backend path: /src/*

I suppose the problem you have might be unique to nextJS ?

How is that better than just writing a line in the md?
mrits··on MCP overlooks hard-won lessons from distributed systems
Billy, it's becoming increasingly harder to believe you are writing this code yourself
mrits··on The GPT-5 Launch Was Concerning
There is a threshold that every developer needs for them to make it be worth their time. For me that has already been met. Your comment makes me think that you don't believe it will start producing higher quality code than you anytime soon.

I think most of us are in the camp that even though we don't need AI right now we believe we will not be valuable in the near future without being highly proficient with the tooling.

mrits··on Cursor CLI
I'm at a point where I symlink differnet sets of docs to try to focus context so much I feel like maybe I need a git submodule with different branches of context I want. I left managing people to now manage AI
mrits··on GPT-5
I can't imagine anyone leaving this comment besides GPT-4.5
mrits··on Vibe code is legacy code
Knowing if it is actually working or not is half the problem.
mrits··on Vibe code is legacy code
All code is a liability but all code is not legacy. I'm not OP but I agree Vibe is legacy simply because there is no longer anyone around that is qualified to maintain it or know the reasoning behind it (there never was)
mrits··on A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use
For giant dicts a bloomfilter would work great here
mrits··on URL-Driven State in HTMX
When people start using or buying your software you are going to quickly find out that 64K won't work
mrits··on Stop selling “unlimited”, when you mean “until we change our minds”
Looking at their pricing page in way back machine looks like they've had "usage limits" terminology for at least the last year
mrits··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
Which is why I said I see how it could be a problem :)
mrits··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
I imagine they will add some features soon where you have more control. It could get complicated quickly. Before they put this in I think they should have at least given you an easy way to buy more credits at a hugely discounted rate.

I know entire offices in Bangladesh share some of these accounts, so I can see how it is a problem.

mrits··on The daily life of a medieval king
If that was true everything would be cut with baking soda or water.
mrits··on The daily life of a medieval king
I never heard the term "cut" outside drugs that often involved putting something stronger but less expensive in
mrits··on “Dynamic programming” is not referring to “computer programming”
As a US born native English speaker, I always struggled with the phrase. Eventually I just mentally called it a misnomer as the phrase provided no value to the actual problem set they described.
mrits··on I tried vibe coding in BASIC and it didn't go well
The alternative is to not throw money at AI. The amount that we spend could be justified just under a national security budget and not even increased GDP
mrits··on I avoid using LLMs as a publisher and writer
I think there are a lot of good reasons to be cognitive lazy. Now might not be the time to learn about how something works.
mrits··on Anthropic tightens usage limits for Claude Code without telling users
I don't consider drag-and-drop UIs anywhere close to wordpress plugins. I'm not talking about writing bad code, I'm talking about being able to understand what you are creating.
mrits··on Anthropic tightens usage limits for Claude Code without telling users
That clears up a lot for me. I don't think I've ever had it take for than a couple of minutes. If it takes more than a minute I usually freak out and press stop
