What is with the website though? Rubbish scrolling. Junky rendering with artifacts if you scroll fast.

Yes, scrolling with the arrow keys does nothing for several presses, then jumps, then acts normally, then jumps again. Really stupid and annoying.

Also, Alt-Left Arrow doesn't return me to the previous page (Hacker News) and I have to use my mouse.


Notion is a "knowledge database" with awful performance and jank, that some people have decided sounded like a perfect place to host their blog for whatever reason. But these shared pages been as buggy as the first time I saw them years ago, not sure what they're doing.

sorry, its a notion not a real site.

You should use my model then, I spent about 30$ in electricity and used my existing RTX4090. It is not very good, but can you compare it with others really? You can use this service via a private API with a VPN, email me your credit card details for access.

This is the most naive take on security ever. For the backend, you assume your client is compromised, but you still don't want to allow your client to be compromised.

I am using Gemini as well as Opus on a somewhat small project in React Native and I can not imagine this thing being able to build the whole thing on its own without it being a dumbpster fire.

Can you share some details of how you work? What models? What harness?


We use CC with Fable(Opus before that) continuously on a rather large project, everything is tested, we maintain high verified test coverage, we ship features x10 faster than when we started(pre Claude-everything era 2-3 years ago). I never worked with RN before and I ship features now. LLMs allowed us to find issues within RN itself, that thanks to some patches, improved lower end Android experience by a lot. We just use all the Claude defaults with claude.md that evolved over last year.

I use Codex and Claude Code desktop apps. I generally use only the SOTA, now Astra and Fable 5.1, Opus 5 when Fable runs out.

I don't know if Gemini is suitable.

I had few issues with my native iOS app, the results are just decent after a few iterations, the models do what I ask them to do. Where do you see the problem?

The LOC for my app is now at almost 200k + 110k lines of test code.


what in the gobbledygook is this

can't believe what has become of this profession

> Opus

> Are there cybersecurity concerns in the frontend? I would have thought you have to assume the client is untrusted and only do security work on the backend.

I hate software engineering now.


I was surprised by your comments and then you do Rust to be called via Java or Kotlin and Swift?

What does your app do?


Yes uniffi created swift and kotlin bindings. The app I did with this is just a sudoku game https://www.puzzlesight.com . Before AI I would have reached for something like Flutter to avoid doing all work twice but with AI doing two apps makes more sense.

Okay, makes sense, the whole thing looks and screams vibe coded. On a beefy machine, navigating between your website pages takes 2-3 seconds. So still a long way to go with AI.

Interesting, it's instant on mine. The landing page is just Astro with cloudflare in front of it, the origin server is a hetzner box in Germany though.

Codex with what model?

I think probably GPT 5.5, or 5.6 Sol - it was ~ 2 months ago.

Each time I get access to a new model, I do two things on all our active codebases:

- Security review of all the code and vulnerabilities (new models will find new stuff)

- Code review of test suite quality, and idiomatic patterns/code for the language of that codebase.

And in the case of swift and kotlin, it's even more important that an agent helps me with the code quality since I don't know what "idiomatic" swift or kotlin looks like, the way I do with JS, Elixir, C#, Ruby, etc.


> Really cool house, but describing the cabinets as "bunch of wood, cut into fairly large pieces. Maybe a few screws and hinges" shows little understanding of what goes into building something like that.

I mean, the whole place looks like a cookie cutter office block. The lack of appreciation and want for good design goes far deeper.


Sounds like preference. I think it looks beautiful personally.

Everything is a preference. You should stop thinking!

Did you look through the accomplishments? I don't mean to be crass but I like a bit of weight for "accomplished".

I mean, the American Express office looks like a track stop or mall you will find along the highway.


You should really go visit the musical instrument museum if you ever have the opportunity. Just the shortlist of his stuff is pretty objectively impressive, dunno maybe I'm replying to some secret famous person's account shrug.

The will to do and the power to do does not mean well to do.

Let them do it. It will end up really well. I know the system has been protecting these companies, but that has been an economic concern as much as other motives. Now that AI is the crown jewel of economy and global dominance, let the entertainment industry have a go at it. Let them.

Wait until we all get popcorn though, and find a comfy place to watch from that's just outside the splash zone.
