This is another historical moment in AI.
Excellent article.

It'll be valuable to refer back to this in 5-10 years.

Fantastic read. I'll definitely want to come back and read this again as LLMs get better and more of us code less in the coming years.

Re:How to Code Claude Code in 200 Lines of Code on Sunday January 11, 2026 @03:54AM (#46573821)
Can't believe Claude Code was launched less than a year ago. It's certainly a new tool in my kit and allowed me to approach and work on new coding problems in a new way.
Fascinating article.

Data security will be another important factor in whether we should choose our private health information with these third parties or not.

Manage My Health in NZ was hacked earlier this week: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/583417/who-are-the-hacke...

Daft Punk continues to awe us, even after their retirement.

Can't believe it's been almost 20 years since Alive 2007!

Re:Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image on Sunday December 07, 2025 @04:17PM (#46185243)

Reminds me of the attacker vs defender dilemma in cybersecurity - attackers just need one attack to succeed while a defender must spend resources considering and defending against all the different possibilities.

Thank you for sharing this.

Ome of the situations in the article is very relevant to me right now.

I'm going to keep reminding myself now:

And that one is all as I need."

Re:Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26 on Saturday October 11, 2025 @02:56AM (#45547187)
I really hope they undo these changes. Hate it and there's no easy way to switch back to iOS 18.
Re:Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @04:08PM (#44881234)

Interested in seeing whether this will be widespread in 5 years or whether sites will have fought back.
Useful to know about this Python web UI framework. There are also other Python web UI framework suggestions in the thread replies too.

This is a very valuable observation ("builders" vs "maintainers") along with the comments below this.
For these big tech companies, infrastructure is optimized for high scale & reliability over velocity & flexibility.
