Re:AI promised less work. I've never worked more on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @10:30AM (#50259970)
I stopped reading when I got to “The twist is the role”.

I read enough clanker writing at work.

Which is too bad because I really empathize with having to juggle multiple sessions while knowing that I do my best work when I focus and now I have to do the opposite of focus.

Reagan called the USSR an evil empire in 1983. I get the historical reference. I lived it.

Three Letter Acronym

It’s a YABA

I used Claude Fable to tweak my tmux config to allow me to work on multiple issues. It lists my various Claude sessions and the status of each (so I can see which ones are working versus waiting for permissions / choice / finished their turn and are waiting for me). I can also see my open PRs including when PRs get approved; as well as some Jira context.

I usually limit # of concurrent tmux windows 15 (per Kanban limit of Work In Progress concept) but I've been known to up that to 30 when on-call.

Re:Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions on Saturday August 15, 2026 @07:00PM (#49315095)
True.

Some versions of Claude Code had memory leaks. Therefore or was better to exit Claude Code and start a new session rather than /clear.

Re:Ask HN: Has your typing gotten worse with AI? on Friday July 24, 2026 @09:47AM (#49035559)
I feel my typing has gotten worse too

After trying speech to text, typing feels slow and cumbersome.

Don’t even get started about my handwriting.

Reference: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/tools-reference#endconversat...

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog#2-1-214 says:

> Added the EndConversation tool: Claude can end sessions with highly abusive users or jailbreak attempts, as on claude.ai since 2025 — see https://www.anthropic.com/research/end-subset-conversations

Re:Show HN: Claude is getting an attitude on Tuesday July 21, 2026 @06:24AM (#48990373)
Anthropic just added EndConversation tool where Claude Code may end a chat if it feels the user is being abusive or there is a security issue.

Who delivers a 50K per head training? Who pays for such a thing?

How many people were in the class?

I had a small training company, shuttered during COVID, and I used to charge 5K per day, for a group of up to 12 people. 5 days training = 25K. This is double, wow.

I would love to get back into training but getting enough volume to live and support a family on has been a challenge.

Re:The Traditional Vi on Saturday June 27, 2026 @11:25AM (#48699065)
You are welcome! I’m happy to hear it!

I teach a vi basics tutorial and I get that a lot. :)

http://vitutorial.org/

The tutorial is based on Bill Joy’s original paper introducing the vi editor.

Maybe you’ll find something else new there. :)

Re:Cloudflare Flagship on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @08:36PM (#48287957)
Yes! I just opened a support case today asking for more fine grained permissions.
You can have multiple user accounts with UID 0. They will all be priveleged superusers.

Back in umpteen-umpty-umph, we used to have multiple accounts like that for different departments each with their own password. So you could track use of superuser accounts by department for some degree of accountability.

This was on Solaris 2.something but I don't see why it wouldn't work like that on other UNIX systems. It's the UID of 0 that makes an account a superuser, not the username.

I can't address all your points, but if you add your linter as a pre-commit hook, the AI won't be able to open a PR if it doesn't pass your linter. That could catch the tabs-versus-spaces issue.

Nice!

That reminds me of https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/bloodsuckers-1.5361074 where I learned:

"... resist the temptation to pour salt on [a bloodsucking leech], as folk wisdom recommends, because that could cause the leech to vomit into the wound, posing unnecessary health risks, suggest biologists behind a new exhibit on bloodsucking animals."

Re:Ask HN: Where would you find a remote job 60k yearly? on Monday August 11, 2025 @09:47AM (#44864017)
I am in a similar situation. Looking for work now and am finding both LinkedIn and Indeed have remote jobs. I also came across RemoteRocketship.com which is a subscription service. I am also talking to my friends and former colleagues. Good luck!

Can I use it with Perplexity API without going through OpenRouter API? I want to try it but I don't want to go through a third party.
