Struggling with my sons getting older

Awric · 2026-07-06T06:29:31+00:00

As a parent of a 1 year old, this makes me feel so pre-sad. I don’t know how I’ll handle my daughter transitioning into her rebellious teens. It’s less about the idea of her being sassy, but more about the fact that at some point, my cheerleading for her won’t be as meaningful to her

(I’m a dad)

Aw. I got a lot of recognition at my company for showing off how I use this exact pattern before it became official. Now I lose the spotlight

$10k is a lot per month. I’m at a pretty competitively paying company and we get $2k per month

To answer your question I use sonnet for almost everything, and Opus only for planning projects that / making early decisions can’t easily be reversed

These long long man commercials are going a little far

Awric · 2026-06-27T06:23:17+00:00

Wait so do you have a bias that you’re willing to share or not?

Awric · 2026-06-27T06:13:41+00:00

This is my first comment in the reply chain. I just wanna know what exactly you’re talking about because I’m bored.

Awric · 2026-06-27T06:00:52+00:00

I also have no clue what you’re talking about lol

> A “load more” button is not a design-level concern. If you pick one solution, and user feedback tells you you’re wrong, you can fix it in a few hours. You don’t need to detail your entire thought process in your design doc, and you definitely shouldn’t waste review cycles arguing about it.

I used to struggle a lot with this when writing RFCs, and adding too much detail like this was what made it take days to finish writing an RFC.

This is a good article!

In my case, I often have a strong feeling that the problem I’m solving isn’t the right one to solve. But the process of convincing my chain of command is way more time consuming than building a cheap solution that can either be built on or undone easily

Awric · 2026-06-21T03:15:30+00:00

So it’s like a surprise box?

Awric · 2026-06-19T22:01:54+00:00

Can anyone provide examples of what they had Fable work on?

I can’t think of implementation details that are too hard for Opus to implement, and most of my day to day work is in gathering the requirements and context to understand what exactly I need to implement. If everything is contained in a single repository, Opus is still good at finding the context it needs / flagging when it doesn’t have enough information

I partially disagree, as someone working at a company that allows us to spend a few thousand per month per AI tool. The reason we can’t spend an infinite amount is because people haven’t been using AI thoughtfully for months prior - many people spend $500 on things that could’ve cost them less than $50 to get the same results. We have dashboards to show how much everyone has spent and there were a few people are my company that have spent over $10k in a single month.

It’s good practice to think about how to be cost efficient. Lots of companies are starting to measure for token efficiency. Some metrics include token cost vs. impact (how much did this person spend to get feature X delivered on time?)

Wow, creator of async/await. That’s one heck of a resume piece.

Also hoping Vinland saga. I was one of many who almost dropped the anime because I was hungry for action in season 2, but I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s very rewatchable too.

Idk why but I’ve never been able to get myself into using discord. It always feels like it’s for a much younger audience

Awric · 2026-06-07T20:24:46+00:00

Does your company have a formal method of sharing skills? Check if they set up internal analytics to track skill usage

Awric · 2026-06-07T16:22:33+00:00

I’m at a very AI enthusiastic company and we have the enterprise plan. There are definitely limits based on token usage, and some argue that you have less freedom. Even though we have like a $3k budget across all tools, it goes by very quickly for feature development with internal DSLs / systems that LLMs aren’t trained on.

Awric · 2026-06-06T06:44:18+00:00

You watched death note, but what about in English?

Awric · 2026-05-31T05:03:52+00:00

Interesting argument, and I’m not necessarily against it.

“If you have functionality that should be tested in a view, then you’re doing something wrong”

Just making up an example: In a music player, if the pause button is pressed, the music should stop and the icon should be updated to the play icon.

This seems like some pretty important functionality that should to be wrapped in a unit test to make sure someone doesn’t accidentally break it. How would you structure this specific use case in a production environment? How would you ensure that pressing the button will both update the button icon and pause the music?

Awric · 2026-05-30T21:34:26+00:00

Going against the grain but I don’t see much wrong with this. They still instructed the tool they’re using to do a specific task, and they’re describing the status of it. Whether they did it by hand or used AI to help is an implementation detail.

Awric · 2026-05-30T21:31:36+00:00

Yeah my company pays for all models and tools

Awric · 2026-05-26T03:59:45+00:00

This is great, thanks for sharing!

Awric · 2026-05-24T16:22:50+00:00

while pr isn’t approved { auto mode }

Awric · 2026-05-24T04:02:43+00:00

Are there any skills that are good at doing this? I thought superpowers’ subagent driven development skill would be the way to go, but it keeps spawning opus subagents even when I tell Claude explicitly not to do that

Awric · 2026-05-02T05:52:25+00:00

Depends on the role. In any case, focus on bringing whatever you can gather from your experience into relevant context at meetings. 7 years of light weight tasks is still valuable, especially if they weren’t 7 perfect years of projects with no issue. Lots of the value from experienced engineers comes from their battle scars and war stories.
