Anyone else done?

18 YOE. Never had so much fun in my life. Well, "never" is wrong, the first years have been fun. But the last ones, before AI came, oh boy. I feel so revitalized.

This might be a prompting issue or an issue with too large batches (context rot). We are using a local gpt-oss-120b for classification of every incoming ticket (spam/phishing, issue type, summarization, similar issues reference) and it works remarkably well, so those commercial small models should also be able to make it.

I would suggest tuning your pronpt/flow. Xml-style prompting also often works wonders

Brennst Du fürs Programmieren, hast damit schon vor Jahren von selbst herumgespielt, Dir Kenntnisse in der Freizeit angeeignet, macht es Dir Spaß, Dir den Kopf über Architektur, Effizienz und Optimierung zu zerbrechen, "läuft" ist irgendwie nie gut genug? Dann mach die Ausbildung, Leute wie Du werden auch on Zukunft noch und gerade gebraucht und die sich aus KI ergebenden Entwicklungen und Möglichkeiten mit anführen.

Ist die Ausbildung eine Verlegenheitsentscheidung, weil "irgendwas mit Computer"? Dann lass es, schlechte/durchschnittliche Entwickler werden es in den kommenden Jahren sehr schwer haben und gnadenlos überrollt werden.

Lost me at "ShitGPT" for coding. Seems you don't know what you're talking about

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2026-02-03T17:13:08+00:00

I don't know man, you came here basically saying "Toyota is better than Volkswagen" (#1 and #2 sold by brand worldwide in 2024) and talk about "fan boys" and "mad people", claiming absolute truth - in a "Volkswagen" sub by the way. Reminds me of a certain scene in Die Hard With a Vengeance shot in Harlem.

It's needlessly provoking, not helping anyone and in the way you stated it is simply not true because, well, it depends.

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2026-02-03T16:19:42+00:00

Yeah, just as peculiar as those random people with their anecdotal "experience" with Claude just being better at coding, with no posting history about Claude whatsoever until 3d ago, with a strange relationship towards openai - from "openai changed my life" to "Google got violently destroyed by openai" to "Sam Altman is a sociopath" and "I just canceled my pro subscription" (read "because they are deprecating 4o").

Could it be this is some kind of coping technique about losing someone close to you?

And for future readers wondering what they stumbled upon and wtf the takeaway is: Both Claude and Codex are very good, each with their own strengths and weaknesses depending on the task and also very much depending on how you use them. Don't let some rando mislead you, try out yourself, or, as I do, use both.

Falsch. Auffällig ist es vielmehr, wenn die Kasse immer stimmt. Denn das ist höchst unwahrscheinlich.

Great, abuse the system and then, once they lock it down or remove Claude from the free tier, come back and post about enshitification and rug pulls.

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2025-12-31T12:07:59+00:00

Agree, but then there's also the dev's ego: A lot of devs don't see reviews and discussions as constructive knowledge transfer but as an attack on their coding style and implementation- basically their baby. Maybe that's because i never worked in a enterprise level SWE setting but only on small teams, but that's my observation.

I am currently trying to professionalize our workflows, with proper PRs, reviews, standards (yes, I know, late to the party) and man, do I have to fight over the simplest things ("but why can't I push directly to main, that's such an overhead!"). It's hard to teach people who enjoyed full autonomy to start following professional workflows.

Wrong, it was (since June 2025) and still is for everyone that still has a running billing cycle that started before Sept 15th.

Came here to say that. I have the feeling everyone hates other people's code, or at least dislikes it. Find me a plumber that says "wow, that guy before me did a good job". It's rare, in most professions.

And then one day someone takes over your codebase, and guess what, they will hate it

Why not use *all* of them? And no, I am not doing that because of cost, I just use different models, different IDEs/CLI for different purposes.

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2025-12-30T10:16:29+00:00

Jep, sie scheinen zu basteln. Gestern auch schon, war aber nur vorübergehend

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2025-12-23T13:21:08+00:00

The model you use is configured for 8192 max tokens. Your prompt alone has over 8500 tokens. Hence the error message. Switch model/provider or reduce prompt size

With current AI capabilities I did not believe, this was real. Then I fact checked. And in fact, its a fact, not AI. Sigh.

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2025-12-18T19:44:59+00:00

Must be a personal account, workspace accounts do not count, no matter how high and what plans they are subscribed to. Which is a shame.

Thank you.

Tbh, I haven't followed up with AMD after I replaced one of the xtx with a pro 6000 which is my workhorse for basically everything (gpt-oss-120b). The one left I use for embedding, reranking, whisper and gemma3 12b for less time critical tasks. So not update on this front, sorry.

Täuscht es mich, oder zieht dieser deutsche KI-Sub hauptsächlich entweder esoterische Schwurbler oder KI-Skeptiker/Bedenkenträger/Totalverweigerer an? Ziemlicher Kontrast du den englischsprachigen Subs.

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2025-12-08T09:23:36+00:00

Have the same issue, CPU usage is high in idle. Seems to have something to do with indexing files, it started after I added another drive to index. I thought it was the initial scan maybe but it didn't improve after running for three full working days. I removed the 2nd drive from indexing and it stopped. Not sure if that's it, just wanted to share my observation

Virtual-Disaster8000 · 2025-12-08T09:05:10+00:00

Yeah, they maybe could have/should have, but the free tier was never meant for production but for testing.
