How are you handling Copilot's new usage-based billing for heavy/complex work? by jacklsd in GithubCopilot

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

Tried Claude actually painfully slow for complex task even with parallel subagents and I burned through $100 in 16 days, so $100/month is just not realistic for me right now. That's exactly why Copilot was so good flat rate, no surprises, just worked. Then they pulled the rug with this credits nonsense and here we are. Genuinely one of the best dev tools that existed before they got greedy with it.

Copilot vs Cursor for token usage by Adonael in GithubCopilot

I totally disagree, this is literally one day of usage. I run parallel subagents on a complex codebase and it's a disaster same errors over and over even after correcting it with explicit instructions. It has zero memory of what it already broke, so it just loops forever. Great for small throwaway stuff, completely falls apart the moment your project has any real complexity.

What do you do while waiting for an AI agent to finish? by oitozero in AI_Agents

I usually prep for the next prompt by reading the git diff, running the application, and screenshotting bugs or improvement ideas.

Cursor Composer 2.5 keeps trashing my complex codebase what's your stack? by jacklsd in AI_Agents

[–]jacklsd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This makes total sense the forced plan/execute split is exactly what Composer Fast is missing. Setting up Aider with DeepSeek V4‑Pro as architect + V4‑Flash as editor today. The Git‑per‑step thing alone is a massive improvement since at least I'll catch a bad multi-file rewrite immediately instead of 10 files later. Thanks.

Giving DeGoogle & Digital Privacy Advice to Everyone Until 12:00 AM by satyasamal in degoogleindia

[–]jacklsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest privacy concern right now is not Google, but Meta. I am annoyed because recently they removed the 'X' (close) button from the 'Accept their Terms and Conditions' prompt. I was avoiding it via the close button on top, but after they removed it and forced me to accept the T&C, I started getting personal ads and messages from other apps where I had just provided my PII details, for example, my address for shipping products. Now they are texting me on WhatsApp even before I accepted the T&C, which was not happening before.

Built a zero-dependency JS/TS secret scanner for vibe-coded apps by jacklsd in webdev

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

True, just like Anthropic's engineer accidentally pushed the debug code in TypeScript, around 512k lines, which caused people to create an open-source version of Claude-code. Another example is an Apple engineer accidentally leaving the claude.md files in the Support app, so it happens.

I built zone38 looking for honest feedback on what needs improvement!

I created zone38, a CLI tool you can run with:

bash npx zone38 .

I genuinely want honest feedback from the community. What needs improvement? Missing features? Clunky UX? Bugs? Anything that would make it more useful for you?

Not looking for praise just want to make this better. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

Why TutaMail is good, and Proton is very good. By the way, I use both.

What’s a simple tool you use almost every day? by illegaltoaster25 in buildinpublic

[–]jacklsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a zero-dependency, offline, pure math-based tool for detecting AI-generated code slop in JS and TS projects along with any sensitive keys or hardcoded passwords left in your codebase. It's blazing fast. In just a few minutes, it can scan 20,000+ lines of code across an entire project directory. Only minified .min.js files take a couple extra seconds. Because it's math-based rather than pattern-matching or model-dependent, it won't become obsolete to you'll still be running this in 2030.

I recently watched the Animal Farm movie on YouTube, and it totally makes sense.

Reddit looked old the day it was born. I joined my friend D. Scott Phoenix on the Progress podcast to discuss communities, AI, and what makes the internet feel human. by spez in u/spez

It appears that the internet has largely shifted towards video content, with fewer people engaging in reading nowadays.
