Thanks for this.

While I agree, you might be missing the value here. This poster is exceptionally good agitprop to dunk on a short sighted chud uncle or father. Possibly strong enough to make them think for at least a few seconds about their stupid and dangerous opinions.

I just happened to notice this message. I’ll take a look. We’re definitely talking through leaps in time.

I knew this rationally but it just hit me how easy it would have been for early eastern civilizations to craft chopsticks rather than forks.

I agree.

I think his take is really healthy. If you use Claude as something to make toilsome work easier then you can stay productive and get over the procrastination hump. He also talks about the velocity part where you can go fix/explore things that you wouldn’t have time to normally.

It’s also not like he’s some know nothing vibe coder. He’s got a long coding career. Claude is basically a really clever but amnesiac junior dev.

I had been feeling like I peaked in my career and just was too tired/depressed to work on homelab/coding personal projects. Now with Claude, work is a lot less draining and I’ve got energy leftover for stuff in the evenings. His experience resonates with mine.

What bothers me a lot is that before using Claude, I was just a AI skeptic/hater. Now that I use it regularly I see all the warts but the good colossally outweighs the bad. Vibe coding is still a menace because people who don’t know better are inundating open source projects with low effort slop. So near daily I feel like I keep getting challenged by the remaining skeptical coworkers with this AI purity test where I have to keep explaining the same shit. “Yes I vet every line of code before making a PR. Yes I understand the APIs/Documentation from the source material. Yes I have been extremely vigilant against slop.” It’s exhausting.

So I very much sympathize with that sensationalized quote “Good luck telling the difference between Claude commits and mine” because at the end of the day I stake my professional integrity on every thing I produce regardless of whether I wrote the code by hand or dictated to Claude.

I do leave the “coauthored by Claude” in my commits because I still think it would be disingenuous to do otherwise. But damn if it isn’t tempting to remove it.

Plasma is awesome!

This is the first Dad joke I ever found genuinely clever. Good work!

This would be so pleasant. I know you can use mods without it but this would be better.

Yes!

Nice!

Two of my coworkers with kubernetes homeland use the Helm Chart deployment of this and they like it very much. All my domains are in Cloudflare so this is a no brainer.

I would like to try this with their SSO offering so that I could just handle auth at the tunnel instead of something like Dex in front of each service in the cluster.

Well said.

What screws me is the DRM iLock software. I’ve tried running Reaper in Wine/Bottles but the playback with guitar is no longer realtime due to the emulation/translation going on.

I just switched to an AxeFx FM9 so I don’t need realtime playback as much but I can’t use any of my Neural DSP plugins.

Let me know if you’ve found workarounds.

Good read!

It needs to be said this bluntly. I’m sick of being gaslit by friends that would rather handwring about the remote potential of antisemitism rather than be a fucking human being and empathize.

Lifestyle, vocation, and religion.

At my current company all changes have to happen via GitHub PR and commit because we use GitOps (ex: ArgoCD with Kubernetes). Any changes you do manually are immediately overwritten when ArgoCD notices the config drift.

This makes development more annoying sometimes but I’m so damn glad when I can immediately look at GitHub for an audit trail and source of truth.

It wasn’t InfoSec in this case but I had an annoying tech lead that would merge to main without telling people, so anytime something broke I had his GitHub activity bookmarked and could rule that out first.

Looks amazing! Can you post the config?
