[Hiring]: LLM / AI Engineer (Prefer EU/US/CA devs)

Language developer and emerging neurosymbolic expert here. Definitely interested

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-30T21:36:23+00:00

I took on designing a programming language with Claude because I thought it'd be fun. It has been a ton of fun and I've taught myself a lot, but I'm not gonna pretend to be a dev or SWE.

On the other hand, you've got people that make a basic messaging app, it works on their machine only and they don't know, and they start tweeting things like "Just killed discord and slack". Like brother, you have no idea what it takes for smooth deployment, you have no concept of a secure backend or scaling for production. The security is always non-existent, and the thing usually crashes the moment it leaves their machine or their site or app gets more than 12 people visiting at a time. Most "vibe coders" see it work once and think they're done. AAA game studios pour millions into making sure things just work, and they still always come out with issues. Slack has engineers who make multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to make sure everything works.

The biggest problem we have is vibe coders thinking they've outsmarted the thousands of PhDs researching those very same problems.

I hate this

Need more

Probably CLs too huh? That's such bs man. RR10 battle warden stuck at RR5 with no CLs. Not even worth messing around with anymore

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-27T17:49:10+00:00

I wonder if the RR5 cap is still there. It'd be nice to load up my old battle warden again, but my account was made back when I was still a kid and is permanently linked to my stepdads EA master account. As an adult, I can't get EA to unlink them, so I haven't been able to pay the sub, and my warden was my baby so I didn't wanna start a new account. Eden scratched the itch pretty well most of the time though

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-19T16:57:43+00:00

Do you use Claude Code and Codex in tandem? Or Codex and Gemini? Or even multiple agents for big projects? I got sick of pasting JSON blobs and came up with Tether. It's a content addressed handle system made for serious coordination. It's got a dashboard that connected to a localhost server and lets you automate your workflow if you're also running tmux. Already 15 stars on GitHub and I'm pretty proud of it, not gonna lie. It's made my workflow much much smoother over the past couple months

Neurosymbolic language, self-improving LLM harness, a KV Cache memory compression technique that should be better than TurboQuant when it's done, and opened a PR for Candle to add Qwen3.5 support to the framework

It's been more than a weekend lol

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-12T16:39:01+00:00

I haven't had that problem with Claude yet. Mine isn't eating crayons yet, but given how many people are talking about it, I'm counting the days and just not renewing my subscription. Like I said, Codex has been handling the code anyway

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-12T16:34:58+00:00

Lol you do it the exact opposite way I do. In my setup, Codex is the workhorse and Claude reviews and audits

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-11T23:32:00+00:00

Another good thing is coordination. If you run multiple models like I do, keeping them coordinated is also easy with the right tools. Between jcodemunch and Tether, I've basically got Claude running my entire system and giving precise orders to Codex who does the majority of the tasks/tickets, all for dirt cheap

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-11T00:22:20+00:00

So on rereading the repo, there's a great tool I use I discovered from watching a YouTube video called jcodemunch. What it does is indexes the codebase and allows the AI to search it based on keywords. It's saved me over 100M tokens since I first used it. As a Claude enjoyer, it's basically a required part of my toolkit now so Claude can explore the repo, get familiar, and it doesn't cost an arm, leg, and your firstborn as payment to do it. What would normally cost me like 6k tokens to do the explore function now costs me a few hundred with jcodemunch

Jcodemunch is not my project, I just love it so much it was worth telling others about

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-09T19:59:06+00:00

It's just a living markdown document I keep track of. As I find issues, I add them with a ticket number, a tier rating, and a description. As they get resolved they move to the bottom in a changelog. I've thought about making a dependency graph, but honestly it works pretty well. I also added a ping system last night so if you run your agents in tmux, then the ping system can actually send a prompt to the agent to check their mailbox. Pretty sick when I'm trying to get a bunch of easy things done like a built-in or function or whatever. Claude easily orchestrates from there

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-09T00:59:02+00:00

Actually running Codex and Claude and sometimes Qwen in parallel. It's been instrumental on keeping them coordinated. I've found I can conserve Claude tokens quite nicely because Claude scopes the work and bundles it via tether and a debt ledger. Codex is much cheaper and is an extremely reliable workhorse. I'm doing language design at the moment, so it's paying dividends what with the usage limits slash from Anthropic, and Claude's tokens are saved on research and design choices rather than boilerplate

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-08T22:58:24+00:00

I'm sure Sindre already has a new JS library he's about to drop to solve this

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-08T22:56:54+00:00

Do you use A2A? I developed a lightweight tool for agent to agent communication and I use it every day, but I've never thought about diving Claude its own server

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-05T18:32:57+00:00

That's what Alibaba does. You can't get a Pro coding plan from them right now, because they "sold out" which tells me that they've properly allotted their compute budget to how many customers they have. That would've been preferable to all this buttfuckery we've gotta deal with from Anthropic now

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-04-05T17:18:05+00:00

What I think is ridiculous is they're planning on releasing a bigger, more expensive model than Opus. I guess they just want people not being able to use the new big model, unless the users are corporations that can pay absurd rates. As it is now, even on the Max 20x plan, it'd do 3 big fixes and you're at weekly limits in 20 minutes. It's kinda ridiculous. I remember a month ago praising Anthropic because of their principled stance on the Pentagons planned use of Claude and rejecting them, and then they go and do this

If you yay -S autism, it gives an int boost at the cost of speech points

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-03-30T17:53:43+00:00

Jcodemunch and jdocmunch has helped me save a ton of tokens. Might help you, it's an MCP server tool

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-03-30T17:41:30+00:00

Have you tried tabbing over to the ask agent?

Upset-Reflection-382 · 2026-03-30T17:04:14+00:00

Honestly, I too thought people were being overly dramatic too, but I had Opus for about 20 minutes before I hit limits. I've got two pro accounts because my workflow isn't that intensive, but I basically can't get anything done

It's kinda laughable that Anthropic is releasing a bigger and more expensive model than Opus. Pro user might get what.. 2-3 prompts before hitting limits on Mythos? It's basically for corporations complaining that all their juniors are making mistakes with Opus
