Embedded into .Net monolith app to replicate MSSQL data into it and do queries around this data, because MSSQL is SLOW on those queries =)

Pretty much all of the designers we contacted recently were using AI to draw. Especially on those kinds of cheap work. They are just a bit more professional in the prompting and can do final touch in Photoshop.

Because most of the new feature are not connected to each other. Take a gravition coil. It's like in Half Life - but You can only use with very limited set of objects, that were added in same update as gravition coil. Make it useless and not fun...

Octopus Deploy year ago raised our payment from $50 per month to $15000 per year with 3 years in advance. We were able to agree on only a 1 year. This year we with use of 200$ Claude sub - created a "clone" of Octopus for our own use. No more payments to Octopus =)

Re:The Open Source Maintenance Fee for Polly (Dotnet) on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @02:27AM (#49342059)
Ha, seems to be yet another extortion.

Will run today a task for Claude to remove Polly from codebase.

Re:A Preview of DuckDB v2.0 on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @01:59AM (#49341841)
Realtime full MSSQL database mirroring into DuckDb to do a complex reporting. Everything is in-process. DuckDb database mapped to temp storage and recreated on app restart. Still order of magnitude faster then doing a direct query over MSSQL Server (2ms vs 40+ seconds on same query).

Some devs in team still cannot believe that there is no cheating, that it's possibe, that some 60Mb DB can do queries faster then MSSQL Server with just around 250Mb+ of memory overhead.

(.Net 10 + DuckDB.NET package)

A bit of exaggeration there.

It's soo annoying. I were not able to use Fable5 to do a PR review of a branch that introduced 2FA/MFA feature for a product. It's constantly downgrades to Opus due to Cybersecurity risks...
Re:The just-say-no engineer was a ZIRP phenomenon on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @12:59AM (#48289859)
Few times bugs causes unrecoverable data - and code review are needed again.
In the issues there is a link to another repo: https://github.com/danielcherubini/fork-a-slicer

Wonder how Bambu can prevent this kind of forks, where no code - just instructions to AI on how to build a network plugin from scratch.

Re:Claude Opus 4.7 costs 20–30% more per session on Saturday April 18, 2026 @03:13AM (#47813825)
At this point, I still don't see a reason to use Opus. I'm happy with Sonnet's performance for a third of the price. Tried several times with not a big gain.
I wonder how this will help combat scammers. Do you really think they don’t have $25 for a fee?

Furthermore, this verification system also functions as a US sanction mechanism—one that can be triggered against any entity the US decides to ban.

You can easily pay humans $20k a day and get gibberish in output. Heck, this happen all the times. This happens right now in multiple companies.

Yes sometime humans produce nice code. This happens from time to time...
