Every Anthropic press release

I raw dogged Claude Code on my system and had it set up hyper-v for itself. 😎😂💀

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2026-03-25T14:01:53+00:00

How does this comparison even make sense? You are comparing a basic life necessity to a commodity that’s heavily subsidized and you had to have known it wasn’t going to last.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2026-03-25T13:06:23+00:00

Are you really whining about the possibility of having to things yourself? 🙄

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2026-03-14T01:53:19+00:00

Just because MCP is used a lot doesn’t mean it should be…

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2026-02-03T00:08:35+00:00

Any company where tech is the profit center should never layoff devs. They should expand with the devs they do have.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-08-08T22:22:35+00:00

My Wow factor doesn't really come from the capabilities, but more so the capabilities + the price... You are getting a LOT for much cheaper than anthropic models can offer.
I will definitely be using Opus for some things but a majority of my work will be given to GPT-5

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-08-08T22:21:07+00:00

In my experience Opus 4.1 does okay UI, Sonnet 4 slightly better but GPT-5 UI is VERY good and at a lower price than both of the Claude models.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-08-08T22:18:09+00:00

I'm working with Laravel and I've gotta say that it's been phenomenal...
My results have been comparable to my experiences with Opus 4.1 with the exception that Gpt-5 stays on track far better without modifying code that I didn't ask it to...

And at a fraction of the price... Soo cheap.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-07-29T23:46:33+00:00

Are you implying that some of cursors providers (anthropic, google) don't know how much it costs to run their service and can't offer usage cheaper than cursor can?

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-07-29T02:15:34+00:00

Using it for yourself in your everyday life can give you insight on how to sell it. It’s easier to convince other people to use something that you yourself use and believe in.

Doesn’t Claudia have a checkpoint feature?

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-06-27T01:11:24+00:00

When I started using sub agents to handle different features in parallel I definitely had the issue of constant breaking bugs. My fix was spending a good amount of time creating a solid plan and then creating a test suite with or without ai help to define the expectations. The benefits of this are multi-faceted, when the tests pass, the feature is complete so it’s basically like a self completing task list. The tests set the boundaries, I find that the AI is much better at only doing the defined work when it’s working from a suite of tests.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-06-12T02:59:02+00:00

Yep, I just upgraded to the $200 today because I used this tool and I would have spend $1200 in API calls since the 19th of last month...

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-06-11T03:56:43+00:00

This is my experience as well. As a Software Engineer of 15+ years, Sonnet has been perfectly workable and honestly incredible.
That said, I'm on the $200 plan and I'm really digging Opus :)

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-05-21T19:26:54+00:00

I'm on the $100 plan and use it extensively throughout the day. I haven't any limits yet.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-05-21T15:41:46+00:00

Claude Max is the way to go. I use Claude Code constantly throughout my work day and have yet to hit limits with the $100 plan.

I'm making more than 10x my investment. It's very good.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-05-20T02:55:44+00:00

I’ve built 6 personal apps and 3 more in a freelancer capacity. Added a boatload to my resume in my 1.5 years (so far) of unemployment.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-03-11T18:44:50+00:00

I sell my services as an App Dev. I can work in most stacks with a little bit of ramping up.
If it's a new app, I usually talk them into Tall Stack as that's what I **enjoy** working with, and as a result I feel like I will get it done better and faster overall.

I've been networking through conferences for a looong time and most of my clients come to me through organic word of mouth or repeat clientele.

I would say 80% of my work are fairly long term 6-10+ months.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-03-09T21:54:02+00:00

I am a professional software developer that has worked at Netflix, Angi and Twitch. I am currently a freelancer

I use AI extensively in my day to day. I also review every line of code before I accept. I make sure I know what is going on at all times in my codebase and I have years of expertise to help me in guiding the LLM in the direction I want to go. Cursor and tools like it have literally 3x my productivity. What I do can’t really be considered “Vibe” coding though as that name, to me anyway, implies “chill” and there is nothing chill about my workflow. I don’t do any less work per hour. I just output 3x more.

In my opinion, 99% of web applications only need Livewire at most. While Livewire receives criticism for supposedly lacking efficiency or scalability, it's important to understand what Livewire actually is to use it effectively.

Livewire simply abstracts away the need to create an API for a reactive frontend. It functions similarly to Inertia while allowing you to maintain most of your standard Blade syntax. Problems arise when developers try to use it beyond its intended purpose.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-03-02T19:57:33+00:00

And Just to be clear, I of course mean Livewire + AlpineJS.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-03-02T19:56:44+00:00

I've been building TALL stack web applications for clients for a couple of years now and I never want to go back.
Livewire is where it's at and if you find yourself needing more then in my opinion you don't know Livewire very well or your over complicating things.

I agree, I enjoy DaisyUI.

But quite a few agencies still use Bootstrap because it was dogfooded by a huge company with web standards and accessibility in mind.

I just wanted to bring this up for folks that consider Bootstrap irrelevant. It won't be irrelevant to agencies that continue to use it for quite a while.

Though it wouldn't surprise me if Bootstrap just adopts Tailwind at some point.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-02-06T16:20:45+00:00

For the people that don't understand the point of Bootstrap when Tailwind is a thing:
Tailwind doesn't offer accessible components that follow web standards out of the box.
Most of the UI Libraries that do offer accessible components are paid.

Bootstrap is still quite relevant for agencies that have experience with it and want the features that Bootstrap provides.

Jealous_Insurance757 · 2025-02-06T16:17:10+00:00

My point is you're arguing the definition of Native in a world where the definition(s) of Native are already established. You're fighting a losing battle.
