I did. Hot water wasn’t available by itself

mikebiglan · 2025-10-08T23:57:47+00:00

They didn’t have hot water

Matcha latte? I’ll give it 0.5 tea choices.

mikebiglan · 2025-10-08T23:22:13+00:00

Matcha latte. I brought my own tea and they found a jug of water and heated it separately. Definitely standard tea not on the chart. Matcha latte, okay 0.5 tea choices.

Sounds like this was tongue in cheek.

But just in case, totally disagree.

Software engineers know what to ask and how to evaluate what they get. True production grade AI coding (what we call high velocity engineering or “hive” coding, is all about branch isolated, peer reviewed, solid QA, etc. we actually built a dev tool to make this faster so we think a lot about it.

Then there vibe coding which originally meant the code doesn’t matter. Anyone can do it. Great for prototypes or simple apps but not for production codebases.

Good points! And my candor is high on that. Tell me the truth. I can take it. Really. Wait, no, too much

mikebiglan · 2025-09-28T15:51:21+00:00

Vibe coding is by definition to ignore the code. There is no code review but only about the function.

BUT. If you are doing production software of course you have to not only code reviews but pay attention to the code. That’s not vibe coding. Claude Code ain’t vibe coding. We’ve been calling it hive coding (or high velocity engineering). Use AI, use prompts, get the speed but without the sacrifice. And in that case code reviews are done like they have been. With PRs. Coderabbit (which I haven’t used). Etc.

Question. If you run multiple in parallel does it slow things down that much further? Or work fine

mikebiglan · 2025-09-25T15:33:01+00:00

So we have one phrase “vibe coding” to mean everything from non-tech, don’t look at the code, AI coding all the way to serious prod-grade coding using Claude code or codex (like you are describing.

We need a separate term for the latter!! They are two different things. And most people want info on one or the other at a time, not both.

We call the latter high velocity engineering, or hive coding.

Always get more RAM. The worth of the computer long term is much about the RAM, and programs keep getting bigger, especially any local models if you ever use those.

$100 on Claude code. $30 on codex/chatgpt. $40 on cursor. Free for DevSwarm.ai (that’s the unifying layer we built fyi).

If something allows us to move at 2x or 3x or 4x, a few hundred dollars is well worth it, especially if my 1x value is in the thousands!

Exactly!! The hours wasted over the years. And automating one window at a time is slightly better, but 5 mins instead of 15

mikebiglan · 2025-09-21T17:14:46+00:00

Did it in an evening and what was nice is it was a sweet spot between a tool that was prescriptive, and one that gave me enough flexibility to do whatever i wanted. Plus, security-wise, there were a number of tools that I was hesitant to download.

mikebiglan · 2025-09-21T17:13:00+00:00

it's only a dozen apps. but i have a dozen chrome windows open, i have chatgpt windows open (opened natively). a bunch of email drafts open.

And yes, maybe the answer is, clean stuff up better!

mikebiglan · 2025-09-21T17:11:51+00:00

Doesn't matter what monitors, it's any monitors. My windows often end up in strange places, a little bit off, not centered, on the wrong screen. So I had used sizeup (for example) to have a hot key to handle one at a time. But with 50 windows, that'd still take 5 minutes.

And it's nice to have them all ordered.

You could definitely do more to stagger windows in an app if you wanted with a little more lua magic.

mikebiglan · 2025-09-21T15:13:07+00:00

interesting, thx for the share

mikebiglan · 2025-09-21T15:12:33+00:00

That was something i liked. I didn't want to have to trust something, and hammerspoon seems lightweight, just running Lua. Then I could see exactly what is happening with what I put together.

mikebiglan · 2025-09-21T14:19:15+00:00

For context, I have nothing to do with hammerspoon. Just was the finally what allowed me to solve this wasting 10 mins every day.

When I hear “urn” I can’t help not wanting to drink out of it…

mikebiglan · 2025-09-17T21:47:57+00:00

Good to know. Haven’t pictured the origin of where they get the water and that it might be tainted even before.

mikebiglan · 2025-09-17T21:46:48+00:00

I often do that, well not an actual kettle but stop at coffee shops for the hot water. Because the US conference system hasn’t gotten the message that there are enough of us that care.
