Which probably explains why it is a good idea to use distinct LLMs for generation and review. Like, generate code with Codex/Sol and review it with Claude/Opus for example.

I am using DNS filtering on mobile, and noticed a new trend on some websites that detect an ad blocker: they force a browser native alert message which effectively blocks the page, followed by a page reload when the alert is dismissed. Wonder if there is a solution for that.

Firefox with uBO on Android can handle that easily, no idea if iOS limit that

If the new feature looks random and unexpected and causes users to go to Reddit -the developer is doing terribly bad UX, and equally bad marketing and customer support.

A proper announcement done the day of the release, or an embedded notification like what Firefox already does (a "What's new" tab) that can be easily dismissed without any "Reminder me later" cr*p solves the issue.


With so many AI product launches, I don't even understand anymore what's serious and what's a joke.

Collectively many recent product launches look like we are building a big lab to study sociology using British humour, uttering absurdities with a serious look and then evaluating what sticks.


You do realize that there is a large spectrum of occupations between a self-employed software developer, and a "corporate NPC", don't you? And, do you really reject all counterarguments outright, like you heard all of them already and there is nothing new you can learn, nor any place of individual circumstances in life?


It is worth mentioning that there are other options like NextDNS and similar, which complement uBO(L) nicely.


Oh, goody goody goody! Can't wait for a Q4M with *MTP* support. Does anyone know if there are plans for it?

I am currently using Qwen 3.6 on RTX 3090 and I have to admit that without MTP it would be too slow to be acceptable for me (30-35 tok/sec without MTP, 60-70 with MTP). Without MTP I would just use OpenRouter and rather pay for speed despite having a capable local setup.


It comes with MTP already, they just don't mention it in the filename as it's now the default.


Oh, thank you for telling me this. Trying it out now.


I am not sure I understand, how is this different from a devcontainer or other similar techniques?

On another topic, can't help but notice that "leading coding agents" somehow does not include Pi.


About the missing native support for Pi, I opened this issue long ago in case you want to add some pressure: https://github.com/docker/sbx-releases/issues/34

To work around that limitation I came up with this https://github.com/shaftoe/sbx-template-pi

So essentially you can get latest Pi/Node pulling from that image:

`sbx run -t ghcr.io/shaftoe/sbx-template-pi:latest shell`

Like others here I'm also saddened by the login requirement but at the moment this is the best UX I could find for running sandboxed agents, the "kit/mixin" concepts are neat and I make use of them too: https://github.com/shaftoe/sbx-template-pi#stacking-the-extr...


it's running a full VM so the agent can eg: run docker commands safely etc


Great article. Nice pragmatic and cool-head take on what is going on. Thank you for posting this.

Side note: I so forgot about the "Don't make me think" book! Thanks for reminding this exists. I submit this should be part of "Software Development 101", right there alongside SICP.


A good example of how a wrong assumption ruins something (in tech, products, and life in general). I love the feature idea, but the assumption that a sudden brisk run equals theft obviously ruined it. Well, easy for us to say in retrospect, but my point is: don't make assumptions, test your theories, challenge them, confirm them. Scientific method rules.
