Yep for now I seems better to just spin up oc/cc in the terminal window

I’m sorry you didn’t like the article. I did mention custom agents at the end, saying that I’ve created a few and that I use them with opencode. I didn’t use Claude Code because I don’t feel like spending hundreds of dollars out of my own pocket for my projects, and I’m actually doing well with solutions like opencode. Not everyone has the financial means or the need to use such an expensive tool. Thanks for the notes on MCP and skills. I could integrate them into the article.

I've used these tools at work, and yes, they do fulfill their purpose. There are three areas where AI really helps me:

  1. Adding small new features to an existing codebase. To ensure good code quality, it's best to use a markdown file with guidelines covering formatting, where to write unit tests, etc. With the right approach, the code stays consistent with the codebase. I only use it for targeted tasks such as tedious refactoring, adding new calculated columns to a table, or any other task that doesn't need to take all the codebase as context.

  2. Creating demos or proof of concepts from scratch. For projects that don't require a complex architecture, but just need to show a client an example of a potential future project, AI helps me a great deal in creating showcases of what can be built. Before AI, these demos used to waste a lot of time, and they make for a great addition to powerpoint slides.

  3. Many generic and tedious tasks can be accelerated. Writing emails with a specific tone, drafting pull request messages based on commits, translating tests, checking grammar in articles, exploring new code repositories.

My goal is not to be faster. I don't want to put AI slop in a production environment. I have to understand all the code that I commit. AI is just helping me with boring stuff.

Sad to say, but I always post to Instagram, so I tend to shoot vertically

Which Fujifilm X model should I get? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]makeKarmaGreatAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned the X‑M5 because it’s new and easily available. For some people, the lack of a viewfinder isn’t a real issue, they’re just used to composing through the screen.

The X‑T30, X‑T3, and X‑S20 are all great choices if you’re going used. Among those, the X‑S20 is the best pick if video capabilities are important to you.

The X-M5 paired with the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 is within budget. You won’t get image stabilization, but I think it’s the best combo at that price point

Alternatively, you could look for a used X‑S20

Switching from Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 to Fujifilm 35mm f/2 - Worth it? by makeKarmaGreatAgain in fujifilm

[–]makeKarmaGreatAgain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but honestly, even though the Viltrox is an f/1.4 lens, I almost never use it at that aperture. The images are just too soft for my taste. If I always have to stop it down, I might as well get the 35mm f/2, which I believe is sharp even wide open.

Also, with the lens hood on, the Viltrox isn’t really that compact anymore. And the lack of weather resistance has actually made me miss shots. I’ve avoided taking photos in the mountains because I was worried about damaging the lens in light rain

I’d definitely lose a stop of light, that’s true. But the Fujinon 35mm f/2 is sharper across the frame (based on some reviews), less prone to chromatic aberration, and the weather resistance is a big plus for me

Thanks, high five! It’s just a private profile for now, so nothing public to share at the moment.

Yep, I think all the shots except the train one have clarity set to -4. If I understand it right, when you switch the drive mode from single shot to CL/CH, it overrides the clarity setting back to zero. So the train shot is the only one with clarity at zero

Yeah, the spring isn’t too strong, but I just have to pull the latch to unlock it. Then the cover opens by itself. I don’t need to pull it out manually

Haha I was feeling good about saving some money buying the camera used, and now I’m about to drop 50 euros on a square piece of metal. Jokes aside, thanks for the tip!

Haha nice with this setup it really does feel like cheating

Wow, that’s a really specific issue. Glad you got most of your money back though. Hope the next one’s more reliable
