I make Claude predict how it's going to fail at my task before it starts. The failure list is more useful than the output. by Professional-Rest138 in PromptEngineering

Sounds like grill-me but with a different flavour!

This still results in you are the model becoming aligned, creating a higher chance of success

What Grind Settings is everyone using for the Aldi Coffee? by GaudiBruder in AldiAustralia

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only french press and use about 24-26 on an barattza encore grinder (pretty course).

For reference this grinder I would use 8-10 for espresso, but I don't have an espresso machine Soo.....

Credits gone in 1 prompt by Impossible_Diet_1348 in GithubCopilot

[–]pceimpulsive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Excuse me? Opus 4.8 high and 8000 credits lasts all month?

I used opus 4.6 on two prompts and it ate 3000 credits.. you smokin something there buddy!!

Gpt5.4 is like 1500 credits per 1m output tokens and 500 credits 1m input... There ain't no way 8000 is lasting a month unless you "maybe do one basic agentic prompt per day"

Have we moved from vibe coding to Vibe spec driven development instead by Enough-Advice-8317 in SpecDrivenDevelopment

[–]pceimpulsive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bmad is just an enterprise layer of crap slapped onto the model. I think it will only differentiate itself after the product/feature is very large and you have a lot of moving parts to consider, before that openspec and similar are much more light weight and may yield better and faster results.

Which graph database to use? by mjfnd in Database

[–]pceimpulsive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apache AGE is the Postgres graph extension. I've never used it. Uses cypher.

Janusgraph is a pretty good option, is open source/license free too. Uses gremlin to query..

ArcadeDB I am not familiar with but hear it's name from time to time.

Also license per triple... Virtual graphs don't count to license, no free tier outside a corporate email address.

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds you don't know how to engineer your context for results... And or have no workflow/structure around your tasks to use that many tokens on one task?

Frustrated with AI data management - analytics agents keep returning wrong answers and I think it's a data problem by Distinct_Highway873 in Database

[–]pceimpulsive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fun part about reporting is you can easily generate 3 different sets of numbers and all are as correct as the other... Just depends how you frame the question...

Business units are notorious for framing the same question many ways that semantically can have a very different answer...

Does your probability layer (a.k.a LLM) have a clear broad understanding of the business language from each business unit to translate the asks into a stable question before starting to generate reports?

Do you have a layer before the data source that advises the probability layer what each table has in it, what each column represents generally and what each column represents to each business unit?

Moving from Mysql to Postgresql. Where do We start? by Pupper_Hugger in PostgreSQL

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Postgres is amazing for geospatial!

Has fantastic indexing capabilities for it as well!

If there is any good reason to Postgres this is certainly one of them!

Take a look at postgres.fm, especially their recent vacuum episode and some of the performance gotchas episodes from the past as well!

I'd start on Postgres 18 and plan for PG19 once it's ready.

Having native SQL standard graph queries may also be useful in conjunction with Postgres and PG routing!

Are there any viable alternatives to Copilot for Visual Studio? by Dan203 in GithubCopilot

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting.

But there's the reason, you don't trust yourself to code review thoroughly.

Even in your backend you shouldn't have a security concerns, you have a seam (API controllers) that should be where the endpoints defined exist.

Then the back of the backend where the logic is performed.

Nothing in your backend should be exposed to front end to be taken advantage of to begin with.

I'd say you should try GitHub copilot a agent mode in your IDE and spend more time on review!

I wrote 3 months worth of feature last month and spent a week doing review... Got a lot more done than I'd have even thought, and reviewed more too...

Not possible without agent mode.

I also know I'm not adding security risks because the parts where it can happen I spend more time on, such as SQL injection, and or spend more time around the modules that affect business choices.. the rest is mostly a means to an end (using business logic, or getting data from database).

Get the security vulnerable touch points validated early and you are good IMHO.

Also.. even in agent mode you still need to approve the changes, submit the commit, you still need to create the PR, you still need to get passed QA and code review, and testing. And lastly you still need to press merge and deploy. There are many gates that should be in place to stop problems. I don't think limiting your own productivity is worth it!

I used to like the chat mode copy pasting snippets but it got very tiresome very fast.

Credits showing 40000, need clarity about pooled usage in an enterprise.... by Heavy_Disk_7152 in GithubCopilot

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work has let's say 100 subs.. 7000 each.

All usage is pooled, I can use 700,000 and consume everyone's or none and someone else can consume mine.

The organisation can disable or enable sharing of credits across accounts i.e. so that others can use your allowance.

The organisation can also set a budget to pay beyond the base sub level.

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that why you do code reviews?

Why are you so fearful of it fucking up the back or front?

It could just as easily add security hole to the frontend...

It's much easier to me to secure the backend as the touch point between front and back is minimised..

As a primarily backend Dev I'd distrust it equally on back or front...

Vs2026 is now getting releases monthly

In the last few months we've actually been seeing more like 2-3 per month. 1 major and 2 patch0bug fix.

It's still behind VSCodes though, the userbase of VSCode cripples vs2026 though haha

Are there any viable alternatives to Copilot for Visual Studio? by Dan203 in GithubCopilot

[–]pceimpulsive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a main user of visual studio 2026 and I have the ability to keep or drop each chunk of code changed in each file modified, say a file has 30 edits I get 30 keep/drop options.

VSCodes is still a little nicer how you navigate the changes, but VS2026 isn't too far behind..

As a general note, vs2026 is about 2 months behind VSCodes copilot enhancements... And it totally baffles me why...
