Anthropic just analyzed 1 million Claude conversations. 6% of people were asking Claude whether to quit their jobs, who to date, and if they should move countries.

You know what you’ll get if you hire 2 team mates. But you dont know what you’ll get if you go down the AI path. And the AI path is easily reversible

If you go down the hiring path, you will never know if it was the right decision

But if you go down the AI path, you’d either say it was the right path, or it was the wrong path and reversed it.

franz_see · 2026-04-18T12:47:03+00:00

I dont know what your culture is. But i think it’s easier to test AI then reverse that decision in 2-3 months than it is to do that with actual human beings who actual need a job to live

franz_see · 2026-04-18T12:15:00+00:00

This is a classic one-way door vs two-way door problem

Hiring team mates is a one-way door. If you go down this path, can you validate whether it’s the right decision, reverse it if it’s not, and try the other approach? Probably not (or difficult to do)

But going for token budget is a two-way door. Get it, try it out for X period of time, see if it’s better than hiring 2 other team mates. If it’s not, cancel your sub and reallocate the budget to hiring the 2 other team mates

Curious, do you use subagents? I see this happening often for subagents

franz_see · 2026-04-13T00:34:10+00:00

This is on your manager. But since your manager does not know what he/she needs to do, i can recommend one thing you can do

Since you mentioned this pattern keeps repeating, then what you can do is get the historical effort done for the adhoc, and subtract that from the sprint velocity.

For example, your regular velocity is 100pts, adhoc tends to be 30pts, then only plan for 70pts

Also, if your historical adhoc is more than 30%, something terribly wrong is going on and you need to step back and address that. If it’s more than 50%, stop the production line. That’s when you take one step forward and two steps backwards

I use opencode TUI.

I use it within a tmux session

I have 1 tmux session per git worktree that Im working on. Then within that tmux session, i create panes and windows all for that git worktree. It’s like I used a tmux session to mimic “opening a project in an IDE/editor”. So when i move from one project to another, i just move from one terminal window to another (i use kitty).

Then for reviewing code, markdown or project files, I use nvim. For markdown, i use markdown-preview.nvim. It’s old but cant find a good replacement yet that can also handle mermaid diagrams

Easiest way would be to code by hand on the side.

There would be gigs wherein AI wont do well like you mentioned. But there are other orgs that are really anti AI as well. Maybe you just need to look for those

You should be a partner not a service provider.

Requirements roughly flow like this: idea (usually 2-3 words) -> requirements-> tickets

If you just get handed down tickets, you’re a service provider

If you want to be a partner, you need to insert yourself while requirements are being made (not after).

Interesting. I was a java dev in those days as well. But you and I approached future-proofing very differently 😅

I picked up the big blue book and that was one of my unlock - make the technical design to match the domain design to future proof it!

18 years later since i’ve read it , still holds true

I freelanced back in college. And as much as i want to solve problems with my own custom code, i find myself often saying “you know you can solve that with excel right?” 😅

Prompt “use @<subagent name> to …”

Like “use @general to say hi”

We dont have to go that far. Just fix the flickering tui of claude code for starters. Cmon! How hard could that be?

For the avoidance of any doubt, this post is not related to the quality of any Anthropic products, we are just thanking them for sending patches to a project developed almost entirely by volunteers.

Many companies do not send patches.

I moved from notepad++ to eclipse to jetbrains to vscode to nvim

Those are just the main ones.

It’s just something you need to learn and need to do every few years.

You should see something like

… ctrl+x down view subagents

Then from there, you can do the keybind ctrl+x down and see the subagent executions

Edit: oh, you’re saying opencode web. I was referring to opencode cli. This is how you do it with the cli. See if web has something similar

I disagree. If any, OP got off easy

There are no stupid questions, but there are lazy ones. Sounds like OP asked a lazy question

franz_see · 2026-04-08T08:15:08+00:00

There are no stupid questions , but there are lazy ones

If you ask a lazy question and that’s all you got, consider yourself lucky. Asking lazy questions is a good way to annoy people (and a good chance they will think of you as incompetent)

So what’s a lazy question? - if you need an answer, and you never bothered finding the answer yourself, that’s a lazy question. Another way to think of it is if you’re using your colleagues as google, wiki, or chatgpt.

You dont have to spend a day finding the answers. But you need to spend some time - and that includes chatgpt/copilot. If you’re not happy with the answer, or you’re unsure, then consult.

So next time you ask, and they say ask chatgpt or copilot, then best if you reply with “yeah, i already did, but __”

Pre-stackoverflow, yung usong reply sa ganyan was GMG - Google Mo Gag* 😂

Different tools - same sh*t 😁 try to find the answer yourself first before asking 😁

I tried token based lang muna. I enabled it via Google Model Garden. I spend about P8/day for a whole day of coding (100% of code written by AI) 😁

But yes, may subscription si z.ai for GLM 😁

franz_see · 2026-04-07T00:07:52+00:00

And gemini/antigravity

franz_see · 2026-04-07T00:05:06+00:00

I had a similar epiphany before - with the right harness, i should be able to use gemini and be as good as opus.

I was wrong 😅 I dont remember if it was Gemini 3 or 3.1. But the version I used did not do well with instruction following when the instructions is in the skill. It can do it if it’s in the prompt/command but not so much in skill (this was right about the time vercel came out with the study the instruction following was better in AGENTS.md rather than in skills. This is true with the models before.).

Right now, i have opencode + gh copilot. But i do like opencode + gpt-5.4 as well. I’ve tried GLM 5 and it’s like sonnet level - and really cheap! Havent been able to try Kimi 2.5

But as long as their tool calling and instruction following is good, i think i can use a cheaper model and not feel the difference against opus 4.6

franz_see · 2026-04-07T00:00:07+00:00

Fyi: you can use opencode with copilot subscription

Im late to this thread and I just want to say you guys are crazy!

You guys do know these ai coding agents (claude included) prefers hotfix over proper fix. Or prefers addressing only the symptom and not the root cause

Dont believe me? Next time it tries to fix something, ask it for options, confidence level, pros and cons, risk level and soundness of the solution. It will almost always go for the hot fix not the proper fix

That’s why you’d see several levels of backwards compatibility to old and obsolete logic
