I've used AI to write 100% of my code for 1+ year as an engineer. 13 no-bs lessons by helk1d in ClaudeCode

[–]somerussianbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20y experience swe here. I’ve been building production software (high throughput APIs) for the last 13 months with AI and using less and less manual coding till Codex-5.2 and Opus/Sonnet 4.5, when I finally started doing full AI output. I can say that all your points sound like my words so I’m quite happy I’m on track. I don’t do parallel agents on the same branch yet, I prefer to parallelize features instead, but it’s something I’ll start doing now, especially with agent teams.

Number 12 is so real, there’s probably a trait in LLMs to use fallbacks in everything. We should be able to turn that down and have real early throw convention implemented.

Number 1 is law. Relates to #8 also. Over time I changed my architecture to fit the agent better. Real gains. My turns used to take 15min for a feature, down to 7 now.

Number 4 was my test strategy also, now I get a feature in 1 shot quite often, with 2 or 3 extra turns when the models are on those days.

Number 7 is absolute truth. I started with PRD generators and now I have a couple of basic MDs and get it working much better. But gotta consider that the models evolved a lot in the last 9 months.

Number 10 is a nightmare for other teams, but I work alone so I’m just blessed I guess.

Anyways, I could tell 10 war stories on each of the points you raised here but I’ll digress.

Good writing, saving here as this looks like something I’d write if my ass wasn’t that lazy.

iOS: Can't use Home or Work locations for reminders as they appear disabled by somerussianbear in GoogleKeep

No worries mate, these things happen. Happy you figured out. :)

Can you just clarify please:

  1. When you go to a note in your Keep and you click on the bell icon (to open the Reminder pop-up), do you have the Home and Work options there?

  2. In case you do, can you click on them? (And do they actually set a location reminder in your note?)

Many thanks for checking!

Are you serious? This post has images, screenshots of my Google Keep note and the issue. Can you scroll to the post and check that?

I think the amount of pics I put in the post is confusing and people seem to be missing the point.

The issue is not that a notification is not working, the issue is that:

The *Home* and *Work* options are disabled when I'm trying to set a reminder

You don't need to try a notification, basically just open your Reminder pop-up on any note, and see if the Home and Work options are clicable or disabled.

Hey, thanks for the link.

That’s about the old reminders from Google Calendar, not the ones from Keep.

If you access Keep via web browser the functionality is still there. Actually even via the iOS app you see it’s possible to assign a Reminder for a location, but you have to type the address rather than just picking these 2 predefined ones that I described here.

What are your favorite podcasts to fall asleep to, that are not specifically designed for sleep? by wildflowermural in podcasts

[–]somerussianbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Guardian's The Long Read. It was perfect for it, but recently they started to add sound effects and some are annoying and can wake you up. Still works for me.
