I use this app called HACK which is a client for HN. It has notifications built into it. Pretty great app and it’s free!

GeForce Now Ultimate is 20 dollars a month. That’s 52 months or a little over 4 years for the same price as a Steam Machine.

If your internet is half way decent you’ll be able to stream games with maxed out graphics. Connects to your steam account or whatever game store you use.

So no, not worth it at that price. Either build your own machine or subscribe to a service.

Yes pumpkins are shareable, there should be a share button. Thank you, I’m glad you like it.

I agree Orca is packed with functionality but I don’t know what “weight” or “complexity” is. It’s just an app on my machine, not some software I’m maintaining. It can be the most complex system for all I care behind the scenes, as long as it runs fast and satisfies my needs I’m pleased - which so far it has been and more. I want to spend as little time thinking about my dev environment and the most amount of time thinking about what I’m developing.

To each their own though, I’ve heard great things about Herdr setups.

It’s not entirely what you’re asking for but do try to checkout https://onorca.dev

I was using just command line too and Orca just leveled up everything around it. Still using the cli but inside of Orca. I

Jetbrains dropped the ball hard with Junie and their typescript performance bugs. I left cause of the latter and the former could never compete with the rest of the ecosystem.

Thank you! Added search, it’s accessible from the menu.

Loved it. Been there multiple times since. Probably spent a year total in Tbilisi. One of my fav places on earth.

To be perfectly honest if you’re spending much time reading and/or reviewing actual code something is going wrong in the agentic pipeline. The time investment should be paid earlier during the design brainstorming and design phase - by the time agents start coding assume that 90% of their code is solid and the remaining 10% will be solved with some iterations. Yes this means spending time to figure out how to engineer your harness and everything around it.

I think the only code that deserves human review these days is mission critical code or iterating on user/agent facing interfaces to make sure dx is smooth.

The inverse is also true. No one has actually proven or provided that writing code by hand actually results in higher revenue….it’s just the way things always were.

I can personally tell you that AI has indeed increased revenue and growth and I see it every day, both in and out of my day job.

To each their own I suppose.

They’re correct, albeit likely misinformed in their decision making.

Industry is changing. You either have to adapt to keep with the times or find a tech job where AI isn’t necessary - which practically speaking will become a rarity over time.

I want it and I want it now.

Measure them on merit, their body of work and how well they will fit into the team culture.

As for the questions you’re asking, instead of asking old-school coding interview questions ask them stuff that is actually relevant to agentic programming.

Ask them to build a harness, have them explain what skills are, have them build a self-made implementation of Claude Code as take-home assignment.

The times have changed, you need to update interviewing questions to meet them. Start with agentic questions and ramp them up into more complex scenarios. This is how you gauge your candidates, see how they think and solve their way out of it.

Try to determine how creative, adaptable, motivated the candidate is. Figure out what there actual skill-sets are that they can bring to you, not whether they know some CS pedantry

Totally agreed. Burying head in the sand which a bunch of the industry seems to be doing is a recipe for disappointment and dissatisfaction with the changing tides.

Try to ride the wave rather than being swept under.

AI is coming for hardware. I’m 2 weeks into working with ESP32 devices using nothing but AI and my intuition to build new firmware for the type of hardware I want to build. Haven’t touched electronics for 10+ years since uni.

Could be producing a bunch of slop but that’s where the decades of engineering experience comes in to still find a way to ship reliably.

> This work flow really took away my passion and joy of writing and building software systems.

With agentic development and senior experience you are now able to write and build systems that are 100x more complex and powerful. You’re no longer thinking about how to some mundane data massaging or crud - rather you can spend time thinking about how to solve actual problems that matter and have an impact - as a solo engineer!

Got a problem with climate change? Start brainstorming.

Want to model how a chemical factory works to simulate its IoT topology? It’s at your fingertips.

Think bigger. A lot bigger. Forget about the trees. Look for the forest.

Your decade plus of engineering experience combined with AI is a super power many other new comers to game would benefit from. Capitalize on it and do something cool.

There’s nothing you can do to stop this. If your stuff is on the internet it will be crawled.

Don’t want the LLMs or anyone else to gobble up your project then keep it private.

The licenses are a gentleman’s agreement in a world of no gentlemen.

It’s implemented. You can build teams across generations or even build a deck or binder.

Also check out the comparison feature.

Totally! I was copy and pasting screenshots to Claude endlessly. Also this lets you do a more intentional review, build up a batch of changes and then fire them at the agent in one go. Or give the devbar to a non-tech person on the team and have them export a PDF / HTML / Markdown of their notes, mapped to a screenshot and an x-path automatically.

Thanks! Please let me know if there’s any questions or bugs or feature requests!

Use AI to tackle larger projects and complex problems, that’s how you’ll get your competitive edge back. There have to be freelance projects beyond CRUD.

The “competitive edge” these days is partially being a domain expert, try to find a niche you can grow and learn in. It could be some industry or some tech, but that’s how you differentiate yourself in the LLM age, not by writing code.

That’s the way to do it! Build tooling around your agents to streamline workflows and increase your confidence in them. The agent knows when to reach out for guidance, besides that it runs on its own.

I used to use it very heavily during the original copilot days back in 2021 but it has been made totally obsolete by long running agents. Can’t say I miss it, I don’t miss anything about writing syntax.

Funny I built a very similar app just a few days ago. Cool idea!

Vibed this theremin app over the weekend. I've been in a mood building music related stuff.

It's quite fun to play with, very impressed with how well the hand-tracking works. I've been busting my phone out while killing time and just waving my hands around making cool sounds. It's like magic, sort of.

All the code is on GitHub (it's just a giant HTML file)
