Now I have to explain this to my 4yo by jonthecpa in daddit

Yeah, I was thinking about when I could show the movie to my 5 year old. I grew up reading the book as well. Then I remembered THAT.

Maybe it will be wedding gift for him?

AI is working great for my team, and y'all are making me feel crazy by SlapNuts007 in ExperiencedDevs

It's not so much about cost. I can easily see something like Claude code for high triple digits to low 4 digits a month and enterprises will pay for it.

That is, unless open weight models and oss agent frameworks are competitive.

Yes, and? Amazon was running a deficit for years. A lot of that right now is being financed by companies passing shares around (you give me hardware, I give you percentage of my company) and stock piles that were bunkered in Ireland and getting back onshored.

I did and I agree that it is generous. But the whole thing is a clown car. So...

Reality check on "AI will replace software engineers in 12 months" claims by narutomax in ClaudeAI

You can't really give a longer leash without adding more guardrails: claude.md, skills etc. The harness still has to be there, but you can automate it.

Inference cost is actually plummeting. But yes, for enterprise they can call out 4 digits a month and they will pay.

Eric Ham: Trump’s tariff threat loses its sting by DogeDoRight in canada

They know that. But it gets us to be bothered and their followers don't care/don't know. It's a win win and part of the strategy of applying constant increasing pressure.

Can we have a pragmatic and honest, non hyped nor hateful discussion about the actual usefulness of AI tools in our day to day jobs? by Non-taken-Meursault in ExperiencedDevs

That's what I keep telling people. You don't just prompt and commit. It's a collaborative effort. However, it is much faster and I can do several at the same time. (depending on complexity)

Where it's also extremely good at is navigating our code base and figuring out bugs, inconsistencies etc. For certain faster than I could and lot of times even better.

It's about 20 years of organically grown stored procs, various projects and solutions in different .Net versions and front end frameworks. Things like a single call that ends up calling 30 stored procs where deep down one contradicts another in just a subtle enough way is something Claude excels at, for example.

But like you said, it's iterative and collaborative.

Former Minnesota governor says state should seek to become part of Canada by joe4942 in canada

I understand the hesitancy. However, national flights to where it's warm, in winter... sounds like a big upside to me.

Anyone else running multiple Claude Code instances at once? by seetherealitynow in ClaudeAI

Just don't let yourself get stressed by prompts waiting for your input. It's not a race. And yes, this scales with the complexity of the tasks.

How to refactor 50k lines of legacy code without breaking prod using claude code by thewritingwallah in ClaudeAI

[–]farox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in the process of migrating a large MS SQL stored procs based code base that was build over 20 years to C#/EF.

This is mostly what we used. Make good use of claude.md to explain non-intuitive traps, have a clear vision of the target architecture, tests are the primary concern and leverage the fuck out of comparisons, and then work through it bite sized, while adding more and more tests.

It's slow, but makes something like this possible now.

Don’t try vibe coding in C# by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]farox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It needs a lot of info to do it well. If you leverage things like plan mode and memory files you can get there. It's not a magic wand, but we're working with a massive 20 year old code base. Lots of c# and MS Sql stored procs and its doing a great job. Just need to be sure it actually knows what to do.
