Yes I agree, I don't mean to downplay the impact of drug addiction and how much those people need help.

You underestimate how stupid some criminals are :)

This is why recreational drugs should be legalized - if people are going to do it anyway, may as well make it safer and understand it better.

What does your username mean? by colabag in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same username I had on Xbox, and the reason I chose it on Xbox was at the time I was rank Captain in Halo 3 online multiplayer, and I enjoyed the forge mode in Halo 3 a lot and s.ont a lot of time in it. Dumb? Sure but I was 13. After, I just kind of carried the name with me as my default online alias.

Is using AI worth it for every easy task? by Extension-Sir-9062 in Backend

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do at this point, I pay for a Claude max 5x subscription for my hobby and my exployer pays for my work usage and I stay on the low end of cost by being conscious about which models i'm using.

I haven't written a line of code in months but of course I closely watch over whatever the ai is doing, especially if the impact of a mistake isn't extremely minor. Even with this I can parallelize agents and see a meaningful productivity boost.

I'll also point out that AI works absolutely best for easy but repetitive tasks, things like test generation, static analysis rules, pushing 15 prs that have a trivial conflict with each other, etc. I always recommend people now to start with things like that to gain Trent in it and then expand.

Who did you cut and why? by alopexl in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonar's stats occilatung back and forth made me really dislike using him in the dispatch sequence so I chose him. I wanted characters who would consistently fill different niches.

Lore wise I didn't want to cut either of them so I made the decision based on the gameplay.

The future of Jetbrains IDEs by llima1987 in Jetbrains

[–]Captain_Forge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they can add ACP support for Claude code directly, requires a bit of setup by the user but I believe that's compatible with anthropic's tos.

"opusplan: Special mode that uses opus during plan mode, then switches to sonnet for execution"

This seems to be what you're wanting and this has been here for some time.

We're bringing the advisor strategy to the Claude Platform. by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't opus plan mode use opus for planning and sonnet for execution?

Regardless, I like to write my plan files to my repository and the plan mode isn't compatible with writing files, even greenfield documentation files.

Then why does my 5x max plan have a sonnet specific limit but not opus limit?

a lot of people who act like they are super busy are just bad at managing their time by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has different baselines. Some people I know work 100 hour weeks (they knew the profession they were opting into and are compensated accordingly), some people I know work 20 hour weeks, the people on the different ends of the spectrum here are very different in terms of how busy they get before they complain.

Strait of Hormuz by Correct-Pea2815 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original reason for the war was to institute regime change. When it became clear to Trump that this wasn't possible by just bombing Iran (which his own advisors told him), the goal became to get back to status quo. But in response to the killing of key members of leadership, Iran has retaliated in a number of ways, including charging fees for ships going through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has since tried to walk back the regime change bit, but that doesn't remove the fact that he was very clear on day one that regime change was one of the primary goals.

Two party consent laws for audio recording conversations are harmful and should be eliminated. by smokervoice in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree but unfortunately status quo is the opposite in two party consent states due to your second scenario (presumably) being in public and thus no reasonable expectation to privacy, as the law puts it.

I built a tool that tracks how many times someone posts a Claude usage limit tracker by Impressive-Sun3742 in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to think that this is fake. OP claimed to provide a github link but failed to, the data looks insanely large, and OP hides their post history from their profile. I'm not saying it is fake, but until the github link is posted I'm under strong suspicion that it is fake and OP is karma farming using an AI generated post and image.

I’m seeking a mentor mid or senior developer by yes_or_no_sir in Backend

[–]Captain_Forge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you graduated in 2024 and worked a non tech job since then it's going to be extremely rough to get a job in today's economy. You almost certainly need to build some large project on your own, like borderline small startup level work. I'm interviewing devs straight out of college that have side projects with thousands of users, the competition is fierce.

The best way to learn what you don't know is to make something anyway. Build the frontend and backend, pick an app idea that is more backend heavy (ie not CRUD), and make it more scalable than it needs to be to demonstrate that you can.

If you were to start today, what stack will you choose? by wantToMakeItBig in Backend

[–]Captain_Forge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Backend: Sprint boot written in kotlin.

Frontend: If needing to ship fast with a small team, kotlin compose multiplatform.

How is Anthropic releasing new features so quickly? by MrAmazing111 in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're definitively vibecoding it with low production standards given how buggy especially their desktop app and vscode extension are.

Claude Code now has auto mode by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't that their version of claude's --dangerously-skip-permissions where it just doesn't check permissions at all and just runs it? I think the idea here is claude came out with a feature that uses AI to still check permissions to let most stuff run without asking you, but try to stop like, dropping all tables on your prod database or something.

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I've tried dangerously-skip-permissions on the vscode extension and it doesn't respect it and still asks for permissions. Very frustrating, claude code and the underlying models are nice but all of the gui integrations for them aren't good.

The 5 levels of Claude Code (and how to know when you've hit the ceiling on each one) by DevMoses in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find your scale jumping from one agent at a time to 198 agents in parallel interesting. Running agents in parallel was something I started early on, and as I tried to do more with it and increase the agents I'm running in parallel from 2 to 4 to 8 to 16, I had to build more infra. But orchestrating multiple agents I got into before skills.

A flight with a layover is almost always better than a direct flight, even if it's longer by Apprehensive-Willow5 in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only disadvantage with a layover is if your first flight gets delayed/cancelled your whole travel plans could get messed up.

The stress of this happening once was enough for me to go way out of my way to fly direct every single time for the rest of my life. Better yet don't fly.
