ok so is fast, it's actually hard to explain how fast it is. Their approach to use the GPU and more is amazing. It's still missing some key features like proper debugger integration (in beta, doesn't work for me). Their remote feature is pretty seamless.

Claude 4 can autonomously code for nearly 7 hours, but what's the quality of what it produces? It's one thing to have quantity, it's another thing for quality. It's also another thing for readability.

I need @GoLandIDE to be better. Remote development is amazing, but so many AI things don't work via remote it's frustrating. VScode remote is so much better, but is SUCKS with go. It's frustrating.

The @discovernaya looks amazing. I don't have the biggest following but @discovernaya I'd be happy to use and report everything on here and linkedin if you are so inclined. :) I love the concept of never having to remove my hands from the keyboard.

I'm fairly convinced Azure has a vendetta against software OTP and want to force everyone to use their Microsoft Authenticator app which is garbage. Yes, there are more secure 2FA. Yes, Software OTP can be duplicated and is not as secure, but there are legit uses!.

Reason #10349 to hate Azure. MFA just stops working. Please setup MFA. Congrats you've already setup MFA, you don't have to do anything. I'm sorry to login you have to setup MFA and the loop continues. Have to clear all MFA to re-enroll, because you know "Azure".

If the world wasn't forced to use Azure because of Microsoft, no one would.

I realize I might be on the edge case of Azure use but holy crap it's so awful. MFA is a nightmare. Forced, regardless if you want it or not. MFA loops where it never likes your code. MFA delayed magically resorting to current enforcement. MFA settings changing without consent.

Not to mention Azure's complete inability to keep capacity for PAID sku tiers. Just randomly fail with no way to know what skus are available and when they might fail.

Another reason to hate Azure. Deployment Templates. GARBAGE. Copying Cloudformation, which is just such a bad pattern. Here's the reason to hate, when an error happens with a SKU availability, it doesn't tell you what sku or what resource. Just sku not available.

MCP is definitely where it’s at with AI right now if you aren’t using it you should be. It’s wicked powerful.

Avoid Azure at all costs. It's unstable. Lacks capacity frequently. It's basically worse than IBM cloud now.

RT @PalmerLuckey: DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many. The $5M number is bogus. It….

We fact check everything these day, but sure just believe and repeat the talking points about Deepseek. Can’t fact check lies told by a Nation State, shocking. Do not use Deepseek. Do not believe it was done cheaper, it wasn’t. It makes the US look bad so that’s what they say.
