Issue is that it’s no longer open source
Ngl after opus 4.5 I haven’t noticed too many improvements
Wow good timing, I’ve been working on a session hub of sorts for devs. Check it out, you can store your sessions on here. https://joe-store-frontend.onrender.com
This agent I made can’t execute on the shell, can only edit the files within the project. Only works with rust atm though. https://github.com/Kapperchino/agent-joe
Real, there are so many low hanging fruits for optimization but no one has time to do them. And they don’t incentivize spending your time on it either.
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026) on Friday June 19, 2026 @03:39PM (#48602394)
Not necessarily, since you would need to also run cargo check and cargo test. And Claude still needs grep and find to look around the repo.

I’m working on a coding agent that doesn’t have access to the shell. Essentially all it could do is edit and read code, verify and run tests. But due to that limitation I’ve made it target only rust projects for the time being.

On the topic of access control, I’m building a coding agent with no shell access, currently only supports rust though. https://github.com/Kapperchino/agent-joe
Re:Database mocks are just not worth it on Monday December 30, 2024 @04:12PM (#42553590)
Just mock the repository which calls the db, and to test the queries themselves, use the real db as a docker container, or integration test with an existing db

It’s to replace qa testers for video games
Because you can’t scale out just the cache part of Postgres, one machine can only have so much memory

Re:How the U.S. government could lower food prices on Monday January 29, 2024 @01:17PM (#39179966)
Price control is very half assed, what needs to be done is nationalization of the supply chain for food.

Alan wake 2 pretty much requires it too
They were not indiscriminate in the murders. The leaders are always given a choice of paying tribute before hand. And they do stay true to their word if tributes were paid. It’s one of the major reasons why the mongol empire was so successful.
+1 to this, reactive programming is a major pain in my ass. With virtual threads there’s no longer a need for them.
Re:Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake on Friday June 30, 2023 @10:15AM (#36535320)
iPad pros are such good media consumption devices, and also very good note taking devices, you can draw diagrams and also use apps like obsidian.
Re:Why is ChatGPT becoming more stupid? on Sunday June 18, 2023 @03:18PM (#36383411)
The gpt4 api provided me with much better and detailed response than the chatgpt alternative. Have not tested with the updated gpt4 api though
Re:Finish Your Projects on Tuesday June 13, 2023 @08:52PM (#36319809)
Honestly the best thing to do is to decrease the scope of the project, cut lots of feature until you can finish it in a reasonable amount of time.
If you want more vram, the nvidia pro cards is always an option(if you can afford it). The top spec has 48gb of vram, and you can get more than one.

AR city builder would be amazing with hand tracking, where you can pick up buildings and place them, or just interacting with the mini world.
Re:Framework Laptop 16 Deep Dive: Display on Tuesday June 06, 2023 @10:50AM (#36213688)
Yeah pcs definitely do ship with worse panels, you have to look for laptops with good displays. But matte definitely dulls out the colors compared to a glossy display.
In fact the amd fine wine is just them fixing their drivers from launch
Re:Framework Laptop 16 Deep Dive: Display on Saturday June 03, 2023 @03:12PM (#36179624)
I think it’s because they’re glossy while most monitors have a matte coating

Re:I think Zig is hard but worth it on Thursday June 01, 2023 @10:48AM (#36151792)
For the math stuff you can do things like a builder pattern where you can flatten the nested functions. But operator overloading is definitely preferred
