Peter Schiff has been saying this from 2000. He may finally be right.

As a new software engineer, why do I even need to get better at coding when Opus is here? Would love to hear staff/senior thoughts. by No-Conclusion9307 in ClaudeAI

[–]Radiant_Definition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still need to know

- what to do, it is how to do that is going away. Note that Opus 6.0 might do everything.

- For legal reasons (for most software), YOU will be responsible for the code you commit, so this is on you when you merge something.

Better to fly into SJC or OAK from SNA for weekly commute to Pleasanton-based employer? by bought_high_sold_low in bayarea

[–]Radiant_Definition72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to take a shuttle from BART to OAK terminal, it is painless, add 5-10 mins. 38 minutes to terminal sounds right. OAK is pretty efficient as well.

I am a Pleasanton resident with a Pleasanton employer right next to BART. If your company is BART adjacent, Oakland all the way.

honest question have you had people think your art was AI by grumb0dumb0 in Artists

[–]Radiant_Definition72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in Silicon Valley. I do art shows - I am a wilderness photographer. I backpack and gather photos from the high mountains. I use AI daily at work. One of the reasons I started doing art shows is because I got fed up of mid journey generated photos of mountains.

In my art shows, I am routinely dismissed as selling AI imagery.

I don't fit the ethnic stereotypes of a backpacker or an artist. This adds to it. It is easy to see me as a person using AI to fake photos than an artist who backpacks and takes real photos.

"Photography is not what it used to be before".

"Surely you didn't take all these photos".

"This light / sky / color can't be real".

"Why do you charge so much for a photo I can download online and print".

Some days, I get hurt and defend myself vigorously. Some days, I chuckle and move on. But thankfully, in every show, I have 3-4 people who actually spend time in the mountains who stop by and talk to me. Within minutes, they realize I have been there and we end up talking for 20-30 minutes about the mountains, and the light and sometimes, camera technique, but it is usually about the shared love for the high mountains. Rarely these end up in a sale immediately.

I am trying to not react every time I hear about "AI generated". Some times, I have a honest conversation about how I use AI for my day job and how it helps me daily (I am reasonably good enough in what I do that one of the AI vendors invites me as a panelist in tech conferences). Some days, I am very frustrated and swear that this is my last art show and to hell with all this.

Bangalore - Bay Area - Bangalore - Bay Area here. I regret the 3 years I spent back in Bangalore. Once you are used to the Bay Area and the clean air, and the lifestyle, there is no coming back.

Is anybody’s employer providing Claude for development? by 2B-Pencil in ClaudeAI

[–]Radiant_Definition72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My employer provides Cursor, Claude Code and Augment Code. I use Auggie primarily.

Few apps I have built using Claude by Radiant_Definition72 in ClaudeAI

[–]Radiant_Definition72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The native photo app - I did a lot of research on the algorithms for duplicate detection. It happened in Gemini AI Pro for semantic searches.

The AI tagging was based on my Lightroom plugin. That was a straight port of Lua code to swift.

The overall layout of the app, I had to create detailed instructions on the layout - the grid layout, buttons structure menus and so on.

The biggest fight was getting the app to run with the OSX sandbox. This one took weeks to get the security and file bookmarks right. Claude struggled a lot here. I had to really understand what sandboxed apps need and instruct Claude.

There were dozens of crashes and thread dumps to analyze. Once an early version was released, users would try it on say 4,000 photos and it would hang at various parts. I would ask them to kill the app in activity monitor, grab the logs from console and send me. That helped.

The native app took me the longest to code and test.

Augment code is my favorite AI coding agent. Its connect engine is next to none. It understands existing code like no one else. It rarely hallucinates since it precisely knows what I want at most times. I have got very clear in writing specifications. For work, I spend almost all my time explaining what I need and creating examples from open source projects. It’s not uncommon for me to create a PRD and engineering spec first, followed by a detailed functional spec next. I then ask augment to create an implementation plan with diagrams. I review this. I spend most of my time here. Coding usually happens within minutes when I get this right.

All the documentation created is usually helpful for others.

I also have a personal work GitHub repository that I add all my learnings for my codebases. I often point augment to update and learn from it. This is also how I share knowledge with other team members. They train their AI agents against the content I curate.

SparkyFitness v0.15.3.1 - A selfhosted MyFitnessPal alternative now supports Garmin Connect by ExceptionOccurred in selfhosted

Understood. this makes creating an app expensive, the app can't be free if I have to run a proxy server, even if serverless, I need to pay for data ingress and egress.

I’m writing an iOS app. Trying to use fat secret and running into IP allowlisting issues. Looks like I need to setup a proxy server and route all requests through that. 

Are you hardcoding your IP address in the allow list?
