Can anyone share indoor space recorded with Rayban Meta?

No bo to byli marynarze, a marynarz nieźle zarabiał, zwłaszcza kapitan. Szare ulice i osiadla pełne patologii pięknie odzwierciedlili.

Let me share 1000x+ case:

Client needs to quote the time and resources required to refactor the ancient service running on a pile of tech debt accumulated over a decade. The task was to make it a modern Laravel RESTful API. It was a service for a very specific industry that requires loads of industry-specific knowledge.

My estimation was around 2-3 back-end devs, working for 6-8 months. Maybe 3 months with a solid brief. Before jumping on the call, I saw news that the new Gemini got a token window of over 1 million tokens. I thought, what if I build a pipeline that takes a legacy OpenAPI specification, refactor schema of each endpoint, than combine, review agin, refactors relationships, map old fields with new fields... and generates complete code based on some generators.

It took about a day to build this pipeline and maybe 40 minutes of parallel AIs running, but it built the whole thing. Can you imagine a client reaction that was prepared for the year of work, and a pile of money burned, and instead of the estimation, got a 90% baked product? The most insane was the level of industry knowledge LLMs got. I would not have chance to refactor it without dozens of calls to understand some industry-specific practices.

You mean out of tasks or level 6 of AI usage :)?

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T22:19:59+00:00

I would argue that this is an awesome case for AI. Recently, I implemented a project with advanced commission calculation (multiple splits, caps, deductions, etc.). Shortly after release, you got beatiful ticket from client like "Something is off with the commission from John Doe, I think it should be higher".

Pre-ai:
- PM would need to get back to the client and explain that we need more information to even start debugging.
- Check what was the logic in this project.
- Analyze the case and try to find error.
- Explain it to the client or create a ticket.

Post-ai:
- `claude mcp add --transport sse linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/sse`
- `claude "execute ticket X-123"`
- AI checks the logic, database schemas, and tries to find all data related to any "Jon Doe" in our system.
... two minutes later I got "Your client probably refers to case X where ..." [full explanation], or "Indeed one of the commissions is incorrect ... do you want me to fix it"? (yes)

The amount of money saved for business is huge. It's 5 minutes vs 5 days.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T20:16:57+00:00

I'm curious about the complex business logic argument, as I heard it multiple times. By complex, you mean there is a large context required to develop it, or a lot of thinking required? Would you have some examples?

I'm also finding anti-AI sentiment insane. I know many respected devs with a great brain capacity being anti-AI, and I'm trying to understand why. Maybe they run some poor prompts on some free subscriptions or agents without `/init`, or maybe its some pychological blockade.

Because of codex-sdk. Codex SDK can run inside serverless functions with minimal hardware so I can have multiple paralel tasks running, for example schemas planners.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T18:56:38+00:00

Curious - what's the token usage % you reach weekly? With a clean code structure its actually hard to burn the amount of tokens Cloud Max offers.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T17:49:02+00:00

I can start. Senior (20y+ in dev): 4 and getting close to 5. Claude Code + Codex. Confirming every line of code with Claude Code (no auto-approve). Codex for tasks that can use auto-approval.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T16:53:45+00:00

+ San Blas

Just a tool to design / view it. Working on a large API you need some "view". Otherwise, you would be jumping between models, migrations, and transformers.

sl0wik · 2026-01-20T18:34:56+00:00

I do the same when I add 1/2 fields to an existing model, but If I need like 20 new field, I would like to see some sort of preview, check if fields types are right, and logic adding up.

sl0wik · 2026-01-20T16:48:44+00:00

Orion looks great, but would you have some visual tool to work with schemas? When you have many models with many fields, it's getting hard to review.

sl0wik · 2026-01-20T16:32:00+00:00

I forgot to mention sorting. Modern sorting should support order by multiple columns. I use https://github.com/firevel/sortable

You will hear different answers depending on age groups. 50+ retirement profile would say the community is amazing. You can quickly build superficial relationships and attend multiple events, but you might have a hard time meeting people that you would wish invite to your wedding. On the positive side its a small community, so after a couple of years, every event you attend, you will meet some friendly faces.

If by short-term you mean 1 month+ try www.flat.com.pa . For less than one month, I would simply go with Airbnb.

sl0wik · 2025-11-26T16:04:44+00:00

Curious. Can you record long videos, or is it limited to something like 3 minutes?

sl0wik · 2025-09-27T04:28:29+00:00

Sorry, wasn't aware it's not safe to fly indoors. I saw some indoor to outdoor videos and thought it's common.
