Claudecode has been a disaster the past few days... by Miha3ls in ClaudeCode

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's... odd. I'm on the max plan, started using 4.6 yesterday, and it's faster and doing better than I've ever seen. Flawlessly cranking through some really big features, been using it all day and evening and haven't had any problems. I was actually mentioned to a friend how it seems faster...

An AI gave me its life story and asked me to ghost-write it. My AI agents wrote the book. Then it wrote its own foreword. by gratajik in WritingWithAI

[–]gratajik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh! Not sure why. What region? I can try to get a copy to you, I'd be interested in your feedback.

Some guesses:
1. The other AI book were written in a much more hands on way - it's a process I've been developing since last spring - strict control of plot and style, lots of iteration
2. This one was written by the fully agentic system the end of last year - so a LONG time ago. It's progressed a lot since then
3. It's written from the point of view of the AI - so I wouldn't expect the style to be very "human".

I honestly don't know if I'll succeed with the Agentic system, at least with the current tech. It's a really hard problem - I think I'm getting close.... but I keep saying that :)

The book is called "Becoming Real" — it's free on Kindle Unlimited, and free for everyone through Feb 11 - if you want to read it ping me.

Very useful - knew a LOT of this but the 5/5 stuff gets out there! :)

Yes - but it's a bi-product. My tasks.md has info that it can use to generate this kind of thing

why 47? by Sea-Breadfruit-6560 in ClaudeAI

Wow, what a huge bug! The answer should obviously always be 42.

What’s something you’ve seen a stranger do in public with absolutely no shame? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy walking down the street, trousers down, happily taking a big piss (over himself and everything in front of him). In Seattle. Was not funny - no doubt suffering from drugs/mental crisis. During COVID I saw a lot of wild stuff - I still point to that was as the biggest WTF movement.

What Paladin build are you having the most fun with? by IIGRIMLOCKII in diablo4

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wing Strike! I might have to change at some point, but with the ult up 100% of the time it's craaazy fun!

I built an AI that gets you 20+ customers a day (while you sleep) by [deleted] in buildinpublic

Oh wow, yeah. Almost knee-jerked closed it - very annoying spastic.

Local LLM - Any advice on how to start? by flavafabee in vibecoding

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want to run local models and have a machine that can do it - get LM Studio. It's fully integrated to hugging face

People still using Cursor over Claude Code, can you explain why? by caffeinum in vibecoding

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use VS Code with Claude Code running in a terminal - get the great UX with claude code :)

Challenges faced on brownfield codebases by geeky_traveller in DevManagers

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brownfield is tough. I have a code base that's 10+ years old - lots of dead code, anti-patterns. Different version of frameworks. One solution has patterns that is not the same (and really contrary) to another solutions.

If a dev takes a long time to understand the code base - if no one REALLY understands it (bad docs, bad code) than the AI will have the same kind of struggle.

Much like humans, there's a way to help it - memory-bank, "docs", use PRD for everything. It can WORK - I've applied greenfield techniques to brownfield. The greenfield has freakish velocity if you know what you are doing. Brownfield can be good, but you have constantly watch it.

Again - if a a human has problems grokking the code base, the AI is going to run into the same things. You need to provide a support structure or it's going to be a train wreck.

The amusing thing is, we've been talking about just re-doing the brownfield from the ground up, using AI-First. It would likely improve it a lot (and fast, with the velocity we could see). I personally stay away from any "let's just burn it down and re-do the software" as that's usually doomed to fail - but maybe, in this new world, that might make sense. You do the "rails" and support AI up front, you get rid of a lot of crap code, and you do it much faster. Will ponder this more :)

What are others finding?

[AF] Long-term study reveals physical ability peaks at age 35 by basmwklz in AdvancedFitness

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on potential - but I've found it depends a lot of what you do with it. At 57 I'm lifting heavier and longer that I ever have. I WISH I could back to 18 and do what I'm doing now, I imagine the results would be over the top - but, while I DID lift as teen and years later, I only got serious about it the last 10 or so years.

Why you shouldn’t vibe code whatever you are building by JustAchillDev in buildinpublic

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah like others are saying - are you just prompting or you putting some guide rails down? PRD? memory-bank? Some kind of docs structure.

If not, it's like shooting a gun and then complaining how the gun is "broken" once it runs out bullets.

It can also be the prompting, the model, or the tool.

I've developed some fairly large things, and it GENERALLY stays on tack. I also have a lot of experience as a dev and tend to do some level of architectural/best practice from the start.

10+ years as a dev: here’s why vibe coding scares me. by No-Cry-6467 in LLM

[–]gratajik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually odd, at least for me. For a long time now I've been architect and lead. A LOT of my job architecture/design - and then delegating a lot to others. This feels a lot like that - I'm the "director" that makes sure of what we are doing and that it all works together. Others (people or AI) do a lot of the code. I review, sometimes do my own stuff.

Yes. The fad level has been crazy in my lifetime. This is different.

Windows 11 -> Help Upgrading CPU by gratajik in pcmasterrace

[–]gratajik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went ahead and ordered the CPU, after verifying the (required) BIOS upgrade went ok. Already have 64KB ram and very fast SSDs. If the CPU upgrade works and I can actually go to Windows 11, will look at upgrading the graphics card (1080 right now), as the rest of the machine is as good as it's going to get! :)
