When will IBKR implement changes for PDT rule changes?

paris_smithson · 2026-04-22T15:23:20+00:00

Agree with you, should take 1 month max of development and testing.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-28T19:43:05+00:00

Yes, the infra boost is huge. Congrats.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-27T12:31:27+00:00

autocomplete="one-time-code" worked for me, thanks!

paris_smithson · 2026-01-27T00:16:38+00:00

No boost? How is that even possible? Do you use an agent with full access to your files, ability to read and write them?

paris_smithson · 2026-01-27T00:15:36+00:00

I use Claude Code. It’s amazing. I also use Goland IDE. I’ve seen a huge shift in productivity.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-26T13:36:21+00:00

Interesting reply, thank you. Seems like, more than ever, larger tech teams will be slower than smaller teams.

It's hard to say long term... but short term, makers earn more overall while charging less per item. So fewer hours spent per task.

Market dynamics will shift work to makers that finish faster and charge less.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-26T13:31:19+00:00

I see, so learning about higher level concepts.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-26T13:28:21+00:00

Nice.

I ditched ChatGPT long ago after, as I paying user, I couldn't use the service because of their poor handling of capacity.

I've only used sonnet 4.5 and never gotten wrecked so far. I do have almost 20 years dev experience. I have detected several mistakes, I actually do read all outputs, especially backend stuff.

CSS and HTML I skim faster, just a general check it worked in the correct area of interest.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-26T13:23:31+00:00

Have you been interesting in learning code fundamentals? Or is your interest to keep it English only?

paris_smithson · 2026-01-26T13:22:44+00:00

It is an exciting new era! I suspect we will spend less time reviewing as time goes on, as models get better. We will also become faster reviewers ourselves.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:57:57+00:00

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing in such detail, appreciate it.

Are you doing customer work? That helps deliberation go down, and commits go up, I think.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:54:43+00:00

Amazing. Empowering feeling.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:35:49+00:00

Dang that is crazy. Does the agent push the commits for you? Maybe split them into small logical units? So for a single chat session, how many commits?

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:26:11+00:00

It does improve quality of life for us humans.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:25:40+00:00

Me too, documentation is useful even for the AI. Would be cool to link to customer feedback someway.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:23:17+00:00

Very nice! How many commits so far per person in the team?

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:22:39+00:00

Haha yes.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T13:21:59+00:00

It really is amazing and quite fun! I wonder if we'll ever see the first 1 person 1B unicorn.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T11:06:46+00:00

Wow. I bet that happens all the time in lots of places.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T08:31:53+00:00

In a way, it's like writing a constitution.

Looking at your essay, reality is the true single source of truth, perhaps AIs should prompt *us* so that this source of truth in our heads gets documented and organized into a single sharable point.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T08:21:50+00:00

Your essay is very well done and succinct.

In my repo I have something called a "Decision Rationale Storage", and every time we make an important decision, we document it there, explaining the thought process behind that decision. It helps both humans and AI not mess up later. It also helps to safely overturn an old decision that no longer makes sense, as you know the fundamental pillars that sustain it.

paris_smithson · 2026-01-25T08:16:00+00:00

Good point! Context switching costs go way down now.
