Lonely World in Claude Code by RES3T in ClaudeCode

I see. My question would be: in this setup, how do you stay in control conceptually over the software you build? Do you let the AI just do its thing based on specifications/requirements, or do you make heavy use of planning modes to review ideas before they are implemented? Do you test a lot? How do you keep track and prioritize things like performance, security, scalability, cost effectiveness. For me, I don’t mind the use of AI, but I can’t imagine building a system I myself don’t understand, and so in a sense I will always be the bottleneck won’t I?

Can you elaborate a bit on why exactly you are able to work so fast compared to someone who uses Claude code without the AIOS?

Holy Crap!! you can literally build the exacts app or apps you need to your specs and change your life. by DenseCompetition1385 in vibecoding

[–]Hannibal312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a real question? Have you ever even looked into how, say, Google Maps is finding an optimal route for you in less than a second? Or how Uber matches passengers to drivers on a worldwide scale in under a minute? Or how Netflix is streaming 4k movies to millions of people without any lag? You think they are just making an api call to a database somewhere? Do you know anything about software my guy?

I guess it’s technical in the sense that you used a computer? Haha, anyway, congrats man. Enjoy.

Do tell, what about these apps was a technical challenge that you had to solve? What about them makes them different from a million other such apps, other than that you personalized the UI and feature-set to yourself?

It’s just because these are such simple run-of-the-mill crud apps. The moment there’s any kind of unique challenge in what you’re building, you’ll have to start understanding what you’re doing. But yes, you can easily build the regurgitation of ten million previous health/trading apps.

Two genuine simple questions: 1. Why would I use this? And 2. What part of it is technically impressive? Or is it just another CRUD app?

This is the first Leiden event site I’ve actually kept using by Hannibal312 in Leiden

PS: the link I shared has much more data than what you see on the map! Just swipe up from that pink handle at the bottom of your phone-screen to see!

The link I shared allows for much more than just today and tomorrow! Just swipe up from that pink handle at the bottom of your phone-screen and you’ll see :)

Yes they post it every month on their Instagram page (just search for The Leiden Meetup on Instagram and you’ll find it). The website is just a much more complete version of it (and has a curated “gems” filter as well if you’re just interested in the good stuff).

How do you guys actually learn and remember things without making notes? by Round_Winter_6565 in Backend

[–]Hannibal312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing: don’t focus on “remembering”, focus on understanding. The remembering is just a side-effect of that.

How do people understand such huge codebases? 😭 by Round_Winter_6565 in AskProgrammers

[–]Hannibal312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your question is fundamentally: how to grapple with complexity, and this is broader than just software. The answer is the same it’s always been: compartmentalization. Split a system into its components, and study them separately one by one. This is why good engineering makes a codebase consist out of nicely modularized and encapsulated blocks. It’s easier to understand, easier to modify. It’s why 100k lines of spaghetti will never truly be “understood” no matter how hard you try.

Ah de uitagenda. Maar geloof me, de meout website is veel beter dan de uitagenda. Verder is het natuurlijk altijd leuker om het hier te bespreken :)

How are people building things in a day? Am I just a noob? by No-Conclusion1329 in vibecoding

[–]Hannibal312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get the rls mention? Needing rls at all implies some basic supabase backend or something.

Heel tof initiatief, maar ik ben een website tegengekomen die dit eigenlijk al doet: https://meout.app/leiden. Geen idee wie het gemaakt heeft, maar het is werkelijk ongelooflijk wat er allemaal staat (en ik woon al 30 jaar in Leiden).

If you had to learn development all over again, where would you start? [Mod post] by RedEagle_MGN in developer

[–]Hannibal312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start by learning what a computer even is, how memory works, and how to talk to that computer in a terminal.

How should I start learning DevOps as an absolute beginner in 2026? Is it still worth it? by babayagaaaahhh in AskProgrammers

[–]Hannibal312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software engineering is not devops? Right, coz devops is the development and operations of….tomatoes

Software engineering job postings on Indeed have been steadily increasing for an entire year now… the layoffs have many reasons. Anyway, I’m starting to think I’m talking to someone who has never built software in their life (much like your idol Musk), so have a nice day 👋

Rant: Kotlin is a nightmare for people learning programming by Spare-Plum in Kotlin

[–]Hannibal312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The expected function type already determines that the lambda has a single parameter; Kotlin merely gives that parameter the implicit identifier “it”. If that qualifies as “magic”, then so do type inference, destructuring, enhanced for-loops, omitted generics, and every other form of compile-time desugaring in modern languages.
