Thanks, I hate it.

One day they started showing ads in the app list, 15 seconds later I've uninstalled this shit. No mercy for them, sorry. Lawnchair is pretty good.

> has a tendency of running "find"/"ls" on your home folder

I've seen this first-hand. I was doing some work in a repository, Claude concluded it needs to investigate, how some AWS resources are created, and it literally started scanning ~/* for Terraform code. Which it found and started browsing through.

Or, when I asked Claude to debug some Spring issue, corporate firewall blocked Maven Central, so it literally started scavenging ~/.m2 caches to find the jar it desperately needed. Then it could not find it, so it started to clone Spring sources from GitHub to build the missing jar. I stopped the clone mid-way. I wish I was joking, I only stepped away from the keyboard for one minute.

> And to answer the burning question in your head, our goal isn’t AI that replaces SREs. It’s AI that supercharges SREs.

Ah, that bullshit reasoning again. No, if you build something that "supercharges SRE", someone will be made obsolete.

I'm geniuinely sick of this framing, seeing people at my company building company-wide skill repositories and shoving contents of their brains into slick Markdown documents. Well thanks, now our AI knows everything, good luck with your future career (if there is any left).

> SREs should configure their infra by hand sometimes to not lose that skill

Actually... yeah, I'd totally say that. Some SREs in my company never wrote a single line of HCL that wasn't a call to a in-house, pre-approved module. They think they know Terraform - they don't, and they don't know what's under these modules either.

I hate DST switching, and since last 3 days I've tried to live as if DST didn't happen, go to sleep super early etc.

It completely fails when you account for everyone else around you. Could work if you live alone with flexible working hours. But having a semi-active social life and kids makes it impossible.

> less mundane

This 100%. Past me would really enjoy writing a regex or inspect some undocumented API. Today me likes solving problems more, so I just throw Claude at the undocumented endpoint and after 10 minutes I've got a documentation with examples.

I also do not believe in it, rather I believe in 100% test coverage for the money-making code. Which is something like 5% of a product in reality.

Okay, I'll bite the bait. Assuming that I am a regular user (think gamer), I have a Windows PC, no dev tools, no AI subs or accounts, no GitHub. How specifically can I do the steps required to propose the fix they way you suggest?

It's basically industry standard right now, for shows to be pre-programmed this way. It has some disadvantages, but IMO there are more pros than cons, mainly predictability. (source: I was making the guide tracks)

How could you prove it was not a fair random generation? It's totally possible.

While I agree with the debt part, API pricing can also change at any moment. Well, anything can change at any moment, it's still wild west outta here.

Interesting point - syntax sugar was nice when writing code by hand. Now we'd be fine if no such sugar was added anymore ever again.

Does this excuse the main page missing any information what this thing even is? Come on.

Why does this need OIDC at all? Basic email + password account is like 1-2 prompts away.

Now there is Monday again, no more coding, back to babysitting agents.

Yeah, that's annoying. I've cross-checked with another engineer before filing the ticket. I agree that just slop-shotting someone is just a bad mannner.

> I have been able to solve

Is it you though?

Last week "I" have chased down a really sneaky performance bug in a shutdown routine of one of our applications, if it went to prod it would cost us a lot of grief. How did I do it? Well, I didn't, I gave Claude access to kubectl, described the behavior and how to trigger it, and went for a coffee. After 10 minutes of didly-dalling I took a sip of coffe, then copy-pasted 100% spot-on response to a JIRA ticket and sent it to developers for a fix.

I did maybe 2% of work there.

Reg. point 2, creators get a fraction of a cent for your view. Just send them a dollar once a year, and they will benefit more. Then install adblocker.

Reminds me of the fake Windows Update page.

I know it's not really an argument, but I tend to change my devices also every 2-3 years, just so I can pass the "old" one to my less technical family.

I have Pixel 9a and considered Pixel 10 for a while, but seeing Pixel 11 show up with absurdly microscopic improvements over 10 made me realize, that this smartphone line is just a solved problem since years ago.

Pretty sure if you give Claude your AWS keys, it will easily deploy the stock CloudFront setup in minutes. But that's not as seamless.

> I tried the DIY provider agnostic harness thing and it performs like shit

Just ask AI to make it perform not like shit. /s

Exactly. Using a dating app is just asking for being lied to.

Also, the whole concept of finding your significant other by ONLY going out on dates is... kinda broken in concept? It's not really that hard to pretend to be someone else for a few hours a week.

Almost exactly first half of Inception is the setup and worldbuilding before the actual main heist begins. So that could explain why.

Your experience is strange, I use the official Chrome (not Chromium) with uBlock Lite and everything works perfectly (except the 5s delay at the start).

Well, they saved Pied Piper in the end. So maybe it was worth it :P

So if I drop my phone to the toilet, I will forever lose access to everything? Since the vault is on my phone.

> how do I log in on a device that I don't own?

Sad reality is that such usecase is less and less common, thus, no one cares about it. I think majority of my friends would not be able to access their email, or facebook or alike, if they were forced to use my computer in emergency.
