Provide simple, Unix-like programs that Claude can compose to solve problems. I don’t add any MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. With that said, … An ambiguous error from a tool can send Claude down a rabbit hole, wasting time and tokens.

We are monitoring the situation 😂

Stanford researchers found that developers using AI assistants produce significantly less secure code while believing it’s more secure. The tools amplify bad practices: no input validation, outdated dependencies, and architectural decisions that make senior engineers weep.

there’s a problem nobody talks about at conferences. GitClear’s analysis of 150 million lines of code reveals AI assistance correlates with 41% more code churn - code that gets reverted or rewritten within two weeks.

lol, I was able to exploit Spotify’s macOS desktop app to open a _Chromium_ tab (as it’s Electron/Chromium based). It turns out the main application uses https://t.co/chC1zEWZ7i as the virtual page…

people get promoted for heroism and putting out fires, not for preventing fires; and people get promoted for shipping features, not for doing critical maintenance work and bug fixing from danluu's blog

You asked for it. A lot. So we built it.

Good one, another would be: Compiler/IDE that sends notification to your manager when the compilation/test-runs have been finished successfully but no interaction have been recorded for more than a minute...

Code that nobody understands is tech debt. It takes a lot of time to understand unfamiliar code enough to debug it, let alone introduce new features without also introducing bugs.

you might now be dropped into the unfamiliar terrain of AI-generated code and asked to fix it: a much harder and more stressful task than working to fix something you have built up a mental model of and have some familiarity with. https://t.co/DjlxuATQd2

For one thing, it seems likely that those with ADHD are going to become less satisfied in an environment where it’s hard to achieve “flow” and doesn’t reward that sort of hyper-focus. On AI agents at work from

It’s 2021, over 6.5 years since writing this tutorial. I now work on operating systems in C for a living. I just wanted to say that I still do not remember how to declare a function pointer. I still need to Google it every time. ↩ https://t.co/xBsaCjsekk

Some will tell you to avoid reinventing the wheel, but they’re wrong: you should build your own wheel, because it’ll teach you more about how they work than reading a thousand books on them ever will.

56kbps would suffice

But instead of finding ourselves in the state of eternal bliss of all programming problems solved, we found ourselves up to our necks in the software crisis! How come?

But in the next decades something completely different happened: more powerful machines became available, not just an order of magnitude more powerful, even several orders of magnitude more powerful.
