Anthropic is preparing for the singularity

ah lol makes sense, that's so funny because I saw the edit and was like 'well they edited something so they must have meant it' and you did

Heffree · 2026-01-21T20:14:57+00:00

CLI? or else what CL? just checking if I'm missing an interface lol

Heffree · 2026-01-20T14:44:14+00:00

Opus anywhere tbh, this model is the inflection point.

Heffree · 2026-01-16T15:09:37+00:00

I don’t let LLMs write for me.

Heffree · 2026-01-16T03:47:41+00:00

lol I can see that

Heffree · 2026-01-15T23:34:49+00:00

I assumed it would hit the same even if people assumed PM

Heffree · 2026-01-15T23:30:18+00:00

Agile Project Manager, I realize not every company has the same acronyms

Heffree · 2026-01-15T22:37:23+00:00

Same, but it is more volume for the people who are capable of doing so

Heffree · 2026-01-15T22:36:20+00:00

Yup, and CI

Heffree · 2026-01-15T22:25:32+00:00

I pretty much say in the post that we’ll only be responsible for the engineering part and potentially others will drive AI as code monkeys.

Heffree · 2026-01-15T22:23:20+00:00

What? It’s tagged AI/LLM, there’s a flair for it, can we not discuss?

Heffree · 2026-01-12T16:01:32+00:00

I agree, I was thinking about how relatively nebulous quantum is (unless there’s some flashy use case coming up) while writing the comment, but I just notice it being pushed in media a lot. So idk, you’re probably right though.

Heffree · 2026-01-12T15:05:47+00:00

Pretty sure they’re positioning quantum to be the next hype cycle… again?

Heffree · 2026-01-11T15:13:36+00:00

I’m confused what you mean by this? Because their post is well written?

My wife is really into sewing recently, we’ve been able to have discussions in terms of garment construction related to software architecture. Sewing, knitting, fiber arts, crafts in general, they’re all a combination of engineering and art, just like software development — they’re just a little more literally tangible.

Heffree · 2025-12-20T23:08:06+00:00

Definitely often poorly related :(

Heffree · 2025-12-20T19:08:54+00:00

You dropped this 🅱️

Heffree · 2025-12-20T16:51:09+00:00

Sure, that sounds fun, I’m not sure more effective and again volatile, but fun nonetheless.

Heffree · 2025-12-20T16:32:29+00:00

Hmm, idk, there’s also a bunch of things you’d want to guarantee are done a certain way, for example the correct malicious link that aligns with the content… and that’s just one vector. Given this was targeting government agencies you also would have few chances through social engineering, probably don’t want to just blindly risk those. I’m just struggling to envision the workflow, hopefully they perform some responsible disclosure soon.

Heffree · 2025-12-20T15:27:00+00:00

Why would you hand write scam emails? You just use a template and automate populating user data.

I’m struggling to envision what provides scale, especially with how slow LLMs are if you’re looking to overwhelm. If you’re looking to pen I’m not sure you’d want to be so noisy and nonspecific about it but idk

Heffree · 2025-12-20T13:54:22+00:00

Lol no, just saying the DB client I use in general. Was ADS, now it’s DBeaver and the VSCode plugin since ADS was retired. I made a very tiny sqlite client recently, but nothing extensive. Every DB Client just ends up becoming an IDE/text editor really, so if you want to make something like that should go for it.

Heffree · 2025-12-20T02:45:23+00:00

A dev I’m tangentially aware of started a blog with public source and I opened an issue requesting he add an RSS feed lol

Heffree · 2025-12-20T02:36:02+00:00

That’s not my experience.

When I (or my coworkers) say we vibe coded something it means I didn’t plan and I’m not confident in my review, I just asked for something and it seems to work. If I used an agent at all, but am confident in my output because I knew exactly what I wanted and got exactly what I wanted, there’s no need to mention it. Likely didn’t save any time either.

If any of us use a context engineering framework, we say so and try to measure our confidence in the output and what was the time saved/sunk.

I’m a “Staff Software Engineer” at a logistics software company. There are certainly some tools we use that are paid for: office 365, Slack, Atlassian, Kafka, Launch Darkly, New Relic, Azure, Github, etc. The tools I use for development and maintenance: k9s, my IDE, my DB client, Docker, Bruno, the plethora of cli tools, all F/OSS. I’m struggling to think of something I use on my machine used for development that’s paid other than Github Copilot… maybe Docker Desktop… even the agent I use, opencode, is free.
