I was excited to see "spec driven development" become a common talking point... until I realized that by "spec", most people meant "markdown file with needlessly standardized headers" and not, like, an actual specification

This technology that’s taking over industries in a matter of months, with significant quality jumps occurring sometimes in just weeks, will NEVER be able to [hurls self out of bus window]

Trying out a decomposition skill to make actual use of Claude's writing abilities without having it actually write prose for me.

sometime last week Opus appears to have fully stopped making PRs without my explicit approval first. very annoying.

I have them roleplaying a 60 Minutes interviewer talking to an architect obsessed with Le Corbusier now. This is awesome!

I feel like open source will (have to) change a lot with AI. We won't all run the same software, but will personalize it to our own needs. That changes how we collaborate, build communities, and maintain code. For better or worse. Started writing down my thoughts: jdno.dev/how-hyper-pe...

jdno.devHow Hyper-Personalized Software Challenges Open SourceAI makes it cheap to build software for exactly one person's workflow. The idea is twenty years old, but suddenly feasible. And it breaks an assumption at the heart of open source collaboration.

I'm prototyping a Github reviewer app, and asked Claude to setup a private app to test it out. Came back a bit later and it had said it was waiting for me, app complete including two custom pages to set it up and install it on our org. I just had to do 3 clicks. AI coding feels magical sometimes...

I've been thinking about hyper-personalized software ever since I've started self-hosting some services. I think there are (at least) three things that need to be solved before we can move to a world where everyone builds (or forks) their own apps. 🧵

Second, integration. I'm mostly pissed off about auth in self-hosting but that's fairly easily solvable. What's actually hard is a shared vocabulary to provide interop between whatever apps the user chooses to install. (#ATProto anyone?)

Third, backups. SaaS usually has this really well-covered, which is why I haven't dared move my photos off of Google Photos yet. How can OSS apply best standards and communicate that, giving users the confidence that their data is safe?

First, UI/UX. A big thing that makes integrated suites like MS Office work so well is that all apps feel instantly familiar for the user. Apps should be easily customizable to the user's preferences.

I'm quite enjoying Github's stacked PRs for this. It's definitely not the ideal review form yet, but significantly better UX than One Big Commit or even One Big PR with many small commits.

I find a lot of why ai contributions can be overwhelming is because people have lost the concept of _incremental change_. Every PR is a bag of changes, or from zero to 100 in one go. I'd rather have many manageable PRs than one kitchen sink PR

LLMs shall be a reckoning for a lot of developers who thought being clever was their ticket because the answer is now to take a really big hammer and point in a straight line and start pounding in tentpegs 'til you get to the goal This will be bad for one's satisfaction but probably good on net

iterated with Claude from this lil prompt: ❯ hi my disk is 500gb but 437gb used and I feel like that's too much we got to 165 GB cleaned up now.

Claude invented a "type it out explicitly" confirmation requirement for a force push (for the first time ever??) and then proceeded to fully ignore it.

Very happy to be a part of this! 🥳

Gave #Codex CLI a spin this afternoon with $20 of API credit. TUI feels a touch sleeker than #Claude, but honestly the output's near-identical. Caught some mistakes Copilot missed.

asked both Codex and Claude to verify Copilot PR comments. Codex incorrectly trusted the comments and "fixed" the issues, it took several rounds of wrangling to get it to actually verify the claims
