polyterative··on Qwen 3.8 27B
I remember the days of crypto mining memory intensive tasks do not suffer from TDP reduction as much as game rendering.It's so counterintuitive.I remember getting 96% performance at less than half of TDP with my old AMD card.

Very much happy with my machine.Got a base m4 max studio in December. 2350eur what a deal
polyterative··on Working with AI feels more like leadership than coding
It feels like micromanagement to me.Sometimes it's good, other times it's frustrating.The models are not as predictable for contexts in which I am not familiar with.
polyterative··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
I am using AI to rewrite every proprietary driver/companion soft I had still running on my Mac system.I am using 5/10% of the original application's RAM.I am getting more features.My background RAM usage halved after converting many of them to my own versions.
polyterative··on Born Against, or why hobby programming communities are against LLM usage
I love programming.I have been doing it nonstop for the last ten years. I'm immensely happy of being able of increasing the scope of my projects a hundredfold. I am very happy of being able to ship ten major projects in my lifetime instead of only one.
polyterative··on SwiftUI After 7 Years
I strongly disagree.After many years in software development, I'm sick of resolving the same issues all over again.Make me write less code, make me spend less time fixing it.That's what is increasing productivity and scope for my projects.

Well I guess a lot of humans are involved as well, so that helps
polyterative··on I design with Claude more than Figma now
I've been a full stack and frontend focused engineer for six years and got sick of writing code by hand. Moved to design. Now since I can code with my voice basically I'm getting back into vibe coding and building products. And it's awesome. My bosses still trying to figure out the new situation though, i think the old school separation of roles is starting to die.Being on the intersection I think is the best place to be right now. I feel like my whole life I've been preparing for this moment.

polyterative··on Don't Wait for Claude
Don't really agree, in my experience the switching context is extremely costly. I personally have trouble having even a couple of sessions running in parallel,Especially when I'm talking difficult hard to solve problems. Of course it's easy for trivial jobs, but it's not always the case. I have been much more successful in making my time worth by taking a look at the model's output and actively participating.It gives me time to think as well.When I have a list of simple tasks I just tell it to the model and it executes one after another.
polyterative··on 90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars
I have developed five applications for my Mac using claude that I made for myself. I'm perfectly happy with the setup. The projects help me solve daily problems. I could never have had the time or the skill to do them myself.

polyterative··on Are LLM merge rates not getting better?
I have a similar experience. My hobby project was put on hold after a burnout and lack of motivation. I got a big burst of energy back when I started implementing some long desired features quickly with these new models. I was able to get the project to the point of what I consider is maturity. I did in a month during free time the kind of work that would have burned me up in a good six months fulltime.

polyterative··on Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI
I am having immense success with the latest models developing a personal project that I open sourced and then got burned off by.I can't write anymore by hands but I do enjoy writing prompts with my voice.I have been shipping the best code the project has ever seen.The revolution is real.

polyterative··on 2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop
Given the current situation regarding the hardware getting more pricey, I was so fed up with the inconsistencies, the constant micro lagging frame rate drops that I finally bit the bullet on a Mac studio a couple of weeks ago. This happened after 17 years of being a Windows user and having built more than 20 machines unfortunately Linux does not have a lot commercial software that I needed
