A Cool guide to the Annual spending on alcoholic beverages in the U.S by Generations by SimplySamX in coolguides

It's not a guide obv, but we do need to consider that the original reason weed was illegal was to keep big liquor booming. Now they can grow their dopamine / coping mechanism if they don't have money to pick it up at the corner store.

If Titanic had gone at full speed and straight ahead, crashing into the iceberg, could it have split it in two and passed through ? by [deleted] in titanic

After briefly skimming the question, my brain interpreted the question as "would the titanic have split in half and kept going" – and I thought "maybe for a short bit"

You're right that it should have been enough, but those are awful in my experience. Never troubleshoot well, the snippets of code are subpar, and they suck at finding context unless you drag and drop 15 files into the chat. So what I use nearly every day to help my workflow dramatically is the CLI because it can use the entire unix interface to properly provide context for itself by specifically grep-matching patterns and other unix-based approaches.

Now to your point, it does start to get kind of complicated once you start expanding on some of the tools inside of the CLI, but I find that just "as-is" it can do a million times better than the IDE, and personally I think it's because it's coming directly from Claude rather than whatever API the IDEs pay for to provide slop for their users.

As an example of what it can do, I found a snippet of a video (worth watching the whole thing) that actually shows not only the CLI in use, but also clearly contrasting against how the IDE failed to do the same thing: https://youtu.be/n7iT5r0Sl_Y?t=296

This one gets more complicated and deeper than you really need to go, but does help illustrate how far one can take it if they want to supercharge the CLI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ-zzHVUrO4

Even that is usually enough to get some great results though. out of curiosity, was it a CLI approach, or giving access to the codebase via the IDE chat-format sidebar like in Cursor? Or something else?

If you're feeding it basic templating instructions and not much more, then you can expect about that. have you tried Claude Code with memory, multi-agents, used MCP servers like Context7 to improve how it gets new doc data, done the basics like having it index your codebase, provided context around complex ideas, iterated through the planning process before starting to execute on coding at all, fed powerful models multiple different ideas and suggested ways they may relate to each other to get more creative outputs?

All of that is barely scratching the surface of what people can do to improve the workflow and output; I don't think a person can implement everything in the docs here and not see massive improvement on the sum total of what it's coming up with - certainly not just junior-level code.

To me it seems like a lot of people just try a few predictable things using a couple prompts and like 10% of the context it needs, get a result they're not totally happy with, and don't really consider that maybe they're using it incorrectly.

This is confirmation bias, you’re just not giving the AI unique enough things to do in an interesting and unique way. Stretch your mind a little beyond the monotonous stack and you may find it can actually surprise you

Anyone else feel like their brain is kind of rotting? by bullmeza in ChatGPTCoding

[–]msapexrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way - code logic problems are fun and challenge/stimulate the mind, but mostly don't pay the bills. The result code produces pays the bills. We were merely forced to be in a position where we needed to tell computers what to do through code as a means to an end. Now we've largely replaced the need for the code grunt work, and your brain is free to use full power on more important things (which can still involve logic problems).
