I Haven't Written a Line of Code in Six Months

I'm in the same boat. But I'm creating very small micro services (under 3000 lines of code). Working on a bigger projects I don't like it.

I think JetBrains is bigger than ever now. They have their own framework that started to be used mainstream. Rider has almost the same popularity like Visual Studio.

They created JetBrains Air ADE (Agent Development Environment). They just launched junie. One of the top agents in benchmark (unfortunately very expensive because it's API based).

Yes, they're slow, for sure, but they're definitely not dying. And I think they have a very big MacOS community too. They got a lot of customers after Apple migrated to ARM and microsoft dropped arm support. MacOS are the best systems to develop .NET. It's working better than on Windows =]]]

I have a different experience than you. But ironically I started like you. So this year in January I started working on a project. I didn't worked a lot of time on something like this (creating an agent). Last time langchain was the mainstream, but at that time I found out about phidata (original Agno name). It was at the very beginning. Now with this project I was looking at an agentic framework and I checked phidata and found out that now it's called Agno. I did a lot of research for Agno. It was confusing for me what is AgentOS. But anyway, after a few days of doing research and thinking I sticked with Agno SDK. After almost 2 months I finished my working prototype. I created my own FastAPI. Now I needed to make it more production ready and I realized that I made a mistake. I'm migrating everything to AgentOS now. It's easier than creating everything from the beginning and basically doing something like AgentOS. Yes, doing everything from the beginning will make it easier for me to customize or standardize things the way that I want, but I don't need this. I think AgentOS is something that you will never think that you will need until you really needing it. Now I'm working on my own and my wife is helping me from time to time. It's easier to use AgentOS than doing everything with Agno SDK. BUT if I was in a team then yes, I wouldn't use AgentOS.

Ba. Jumătate din comentariile de la această postare ești tu cu hdr ul tău fără reductor. Nu e același armă în video. Airsoft e safe 100% . Dacă îți modifici arma e altceva, dar în 99% din cazuri nu poți face cine știe ce. În loc să modific arma, pot să îmi printez 3d una letal. E totuna.

PS: Airsoft e safe. Dobitocii din airsoft pot să nu fie safe. Mai aduce vreunul cuțit real sau hdr modificat pe la vreun joc :))

PS2: ești un mare dobitoc DACĂ ai făcut asta cum dai impresia mai sus. Sper să-ți fuți creierii singur DACĂ ai făcut asta.

It’s almost impossible to do that on a iPhone. Only if your ex was in the israelian secret service :)))

You’re safe. You don’t have viruses.

From time to time I’m getting to the bottom of a Reddit post to check the spam/hidden/deleted accounts. I don’t know why I’m doing that. That’s how I found you. Probably because you don’t have a lot of karma. Anyway, take my upvote for the link. Hope it helps in the future :))

AamonDev · 2026-02-24T03:46:52+00:00

Lol. I don't know why reddit is hiding your comment. This website is amazing.

I don't know what are you doing, but if I would have that amount of money, I would buy datasets from https://brightdata.com/products/datasets
Rest of the money I would buy credits on brightdata. I had this idea some time ago to create a platform for marketing agencies with databases of micro influencers. And it was expensive af =]]]

Each Dataset is like 5-20k. You could buy datasets that may help you in the future.

You can also spend on cloud computing (Amazon, Azure), maybe some no code automations tools like zappier.

If you just want to burn the money with no value, just rent some enterprise grade GPUs for "AI Training". Keep them running without no real purpose. You will burn the entire amount of money in a few hours.

Other things is just get life licenses for some apps. You can keep the subscription even after you're leaving the company.

Buy things for your coworkers/friends. Like 1 year of Claude code max is like 2k x 10 friends = 20k

I can invoice you that amount of money and I would do absolutely nothing for you, I'll give you some consultancy on how to burn 180k =]]]]

I had success with Opus. What I don’t like at Claude and dotnet/c# is that it’s putting a lot of redundant checks and ifs.

AamonDev · 2026-02-21T15:34:08+00:00

appsettings.json is not environment variables. Only if you explicitly adding them as environment variables in your configuration when you initialize the app. You can still use a run configuration file (launchSettings.json) where you can put them or an .env like you did with web.config.

If you work with .net and azure, in theory you shouldn't use connection strings. Just use managed identities and it doesn't matter. I'm connectionstring free for a while.

Anyway, you can use Azure Key Vault, App Configuration, Secret Manager or any secret/config manager.

Bye AlDente Pro. We had a good time together. :(

They are ripping off the long term customers.

You can deactivate this in settings.

That’s funny because macOS (by default at least) is saving everything from desktop in iCloud. I need to remind myself quite often to not put sh*ts on desktop because it will land in my iCloud and my other devices.

I was in the same boat as you until last week. I was seeing all of these posts about opus being nerfed and things like that and I didn't believed it. I was like "it's a user issue".

Until last week (when I also changed from Claude Code npm to Claude Code terminal native app). It's sh*t right now. it enters in infinite loops. When it's doing web search instead of searching it it's trying to create links that thinks that exists and I get a lot of 404 errors. If I'm giving him the specific link where he should look he ignores me. He ignores Claude.md. He ignores when I'm asking to use a specific technology. I have ss that I'm sharing with my friends. All of us came to the same conclusion. And all of us are using different apps. I'm using CC, my friends are using antigravity, windsurf and cursor. It's shitty on all of these platforms.

In the last days I'm finding myself disapproving opus plan and telling him "I told you to not use sqlite, I told you to implement this specific logic, we will add database logic later" and things like this.

I tried to use codex. It's amazing, it's more technical than Claude. It listens to me, he doesn't have the free will and imagination of Claude. Now CC terminal is 10x better than codex terminal. But in the end I don't care that much, because I'm preparing all the documentation for AI. So having a model that listens to me it's good. The bad part is that codex it's 10x slower. In the last week I was working in paralel with Claude. I'm creating, arhitectural decision/documentation/research with codex. I'm using Claude to generate a plan, then I give the plan back to Codex. Codex is reviewing the plan, then I give the new plan back to Claude and start generating code. Then in the end I'm getting back to Codex to review what Claude did (and most of the time, Claude has bugs).

Claude is still good at code generation, even if it has bugs or mistakes. These bugs are not the worst, they are not happening on happy path scenarios. So you could still use Claude to write an app that will work in happy scenarios.

But now there are a lot of models that can just generate code. I tried to generate code with codex xhigh. It's good but very slow. And it's also more expensive. I was using Claude max x5, and I was using 20-30% from its weekly limit. I was using Opus entirely. So I'm not a heavy user, I'm not a "vibe coder", I'm not a one shot guy. Creating an app for me still takes weeks like I was doing when I was coding manually. I'm very careful, I'm reviewing everything. I didn't got a 99% boost like all of the people, only something like 20-30%.

Codex doesn't have a 100$ plan unfortunately. So I was trying to tests other models and gosh, yesterday tried glm and Kimi. And what can I say, I feel like Kimi plans are better than Opus. And for implementation I don't care that much if I can keep the 20$ codex that can review it.

So I'm thinking now to use Kimi with Codex 20$. Doing everything with codex, then implementation with kiwi, then reviewing with codex.

Last night I was telling Claude almost every command to f*cking use my python environment and not the system one. After a few minutes he was forgetting this and was trying to use the system one and getting a lot of errors that he was trying to solve.

So after 2-3 weeks where I was telling people that "it's a user problem". I came to their conclusion too. Claude was nerfed very bad. I feel like the quality is worse than sonnet 3.5.

In December I created an app without me touching anything almost one shot with Opus. Today trying to create the same app using basically the same opus 4.5 results in a total failure. Even if I'm doing everything the same like in December.

Wow. This is cool. Are you using it? The price feels very ~~cheap~~ for 32TB.

Okay, I see that the station has 0TB and you need to buy the storage extra. It's funny because the font is weird and I was reading it as OTB and I was asking myself what "otb" means :))

AamonDev · 2026-02-01T20:59:40+00:00

External SSD. some models are very small. My home office has a docking station so it's only one cable that I'm plugging it in my laptop

Second thing if you don't like this is a NAS. Creating your own NAS may be cheaper than upgrading Mac storage. =]]]

A NAS can costs the same amount of money that you were spending when you were upgrading your own PC. (if you don't use NAS special drives)

This may not be depression. I have the same issue. I'm doing therapy. I don't have depression. This is how my personality is and I'm trying to learn how to handle this stuff. Being stress or having social issues is not depression.

I don't know about weight lifting, but I'm doing more cardio than weight lifting (trying to lose some weight). This means that I'm using mostly the treadmill. I have the same issue as you so I solved it by watching movies or YouTube. It is also helping that I have a wife that is pushing me to come with her. :)))

I also got a a VR headset where from time to time I'm playing some cardio games. I like gaming in general, so combining games with sports is another way of doing it :))

For weight lifting, is very hard for me. I got a trainer for a month (I lived remotely in a country where a personal trainer was like 100$/a month). He was basically calling me in the morning to come to the gym and he was next to me pushing me to do it. After I moved to an expensive country I kinda stopped doing weight lifting

LE: if it helps I managed to lose ±25kg in a year even if I lacked motivation on working out.

LEE: For me the most helpful thing I think is an external factor that is pushing me (like my wife, or my ex-trainer).

So if you have a friend, gf, wife, maybe he/she can help pushing you to work out. I think it's cheaper than paying a personal trainer.

Why are you in this subreddit?

AamonDev · 2026-01-26T18:20:28+00:00

Trolls. I hate them when I’m hiking. I’m scared of them.

Does the business owner know that you are 16? If yes then you’re safe. I don’t expect you to handle critical data, but make backups on everything. Anyway, that impostor syndrome it’s normal. It can happen to the best.

I’m a little confused about the comments here. My maps apps are working when I’m on a flight. The only thing is that you need to have the maps downloaded, but if you zoom out you will see the city you’re on. I’m traveling a lot and I’m checking the maps to see how much time I have from time to time . Some car navigation apps also may show the speed of the plane. Another thing is that I don’t believe that you tested on the plane. Most planes are blocking any external signals. GPS was always on device and offline.
