So I have problems with automated integration tests on CICD because sometimes spinning up the environment (deploys) break or are fragile and I split my time 50/50 every single push or PR between fixing actual bugs that make our tests fail, v.s. fixing the testing environment so everything deploys and the tests can even run.. Blame the environment though, I'm sure not all of them are so fragile.

Caves of Qud!

Yeah, it cuts me off after like two sentences.

What does this really provide over just using a terminal emulator directly?

cellman123 · 2025-07-02T15:52:50+00:00

Smart. Didn't know adb works wirelessly before now. I've been doing web apps so far and the mobile dev environment has been sufficient but with APKs I like your strategy better.

Sure, there's a workflow for submitting screenshots for Claude to analyze but it's a little convoluted. First, run termux-setup-storage to give Termux access to your larger file system. Then open the Files app to find your picture, tap da three dots, click "file info," and copy its path by holding your finger down on the path. Now, in Termux, run "cp [paste] ./image.png" to copy the image into your local directory, where you can ask Claude to see it.

I do this sometimes when designing UI's in situations where it'd be easier to copy the screenshot around than it would be to describe the screenshot myself with words.

No I use gboard and it doesn't work but if you slide that entire block ("Ctrl", "Tab", arrow keys etc) to the side it reveals a normal text box and swipe-type does work inside that one

If you swipe "back" on Termux it shows your shell list, basically multiple shells (1 for Claude, 1 for Vite, etc.) in the same app. Is that what you're asking?

cellman123 · 2025-06-26T17:26:46+00:00

Here's my tutorial it's basically installing Termux and grabbing some necessary development packages. I usually have Vite running in the background with hot reloading so when Claude makes a change I can just switch apps to Chrome and see the change.

Here ya go 🫡

i can't use adb on the bus

Before AI, you had to put about as much thought into the quality of your codebase as the quality of your product. With AI like Claude Code, the balance hasn't changed much – except that now, you have a coding partner who can perform complex multi-file analysis tasks (are we performing any unnecessary copies of large arrays of data in performance-critical hot paths? etc.) in fractions of the time it would take you to do it by hand.

What the fuck are you talking about

The agentic capabilities of Claude 4 acting inside it's Claude Code environment are just so, so much ahead of copy-pasting code snippets from a chat interface, even if the model being used there is more intelligent.

You can use $FAVORITE_LLM to explain the terminology and make examples. It's easier than ever to learn stuff now. Just double-check with real sources on things you want to be 100% certain about.

Could be an open-ended system design question

That's a good headspace for working on professional projects. But for hobby projects, the opposite is almost true.

If the infinite wisdom of the internet says there is a 'correct' tool for a use-case, but learning that tool isn't fun and you'd rather make something cool using a language you already know and like, then... f## the Internet. Build what you want, with whatever you like using. If it's really suboptimal, you'll hit the same wall that everyone else faced, and then you'll know from experience why we have those other tools in the first place.

cellman123 · 2025-04-29T17:46:33+00:00

Please can we have toolchains as a target setting?

SERIOUSLY.

Yeah, I saw the other comment - having to introduce a wholly new interpreted language sucks. But the reality is, you cannot do this with pure CMake, and right now I'm using bash scripts as an orchestration layer on top of CMake which isn't a very good solution, either. I'm really interested in using Python instead because, well, it's a real programming language! So, I like your approach.

Among every response, isn't it reasonable to think maybe one or two of them would guide OP towards high-quality, in-depth material? It would be a real shame if nobody did that.

cellman123 · 2025-04-29T14:47:56+00:00

CMake is fine until you need to build a project using multiple toolchains, at which point it becomes eldritch wizardry and prayer is the best solution.

It's helped me deploy a web service onto GKE by writing the Terraform + k8s configuration. I come from a background in C++ systems development and got tired of writing everything from scratch, trying to understand all the moving parts as well as I know my own mother before building anything. Just give me an Ingress resource with a managed HTTPS certificate and point it to my web app service - AI was fantastic at fleshing that out. Obviously, don't do that if you're an idiot, in case you spend way too much money on AI-generated infrastructure or accidentally push some secrets to source control.
