I worked with Boris in the past and in my experience, Boris cares deeply about the customer. I'd vouch that Boris really cares about the issue people are running into.

But no other user has yet come and said "I worked with ajma in the past ..." so how can we trust your judgement about Boris?

I saw this guy named Claude saying ajma is a genius!


Nice try boris

Anthropic can't win in this case.

They don't use Claude Code, they get accused that they don't even trust it themselves.

They use Claude Code, they get accused the code is shit because it's slop.

I think dogfooding is known to be a legitimate approach here.


The idea is that Claude Code is surprisingly buggy and unrefined for something created by the very tool and processes that are supposed to be replacing us as we speak.

The idea is that sculpted ideal code is rarely the best choice.

I don’t see (nor do I care about) the code and how sculpted it is. I perceive the tool as buggy.

At the same time I'd say sloppy code (human or AI generated) is rarely the best choice. I'd say the best is in between.

And they don't use our version of CC, or with our settings. They have flags for internal use only.

> Anthropic can't win in this case.

Sure they can. The solution is pretty simple and in your own post. Choose either:

* Make the product good to the point code is no longer slop and shit.

* Stop hyping the quality when it isn’t there.

* Do a hybrid approach. Use their own product but actually have competent humans in the loop to make the code good.

This is not hard. Be honest and humble and that criticism goes away. It’s no one’s fault but Anthropic’s that they hype up their product to more than it can do and use it carelessly to build itself. It’s not a no-win scenario if you’re the one causing your own obviously avoidable problems.

Gotta start somewhere!


Doctor. Still want to explore "systems" to diagnose issues and build plans for improvement.

When I was 45, I did briefly consider making the switch


As a med-school dropout, in his early 40s (left medicine two decades ago), I cannot even imagine having enough energy to even apply for medical school. At least in the United Hates of America, this is my jaded perspective.

I became an electrician, instead, with stints IBEW and self-employed residential. Lots of money-making opportunities, but lots of unlicensed competition from handymen that "know just enough to be dangerous" — most customers only care if the light turns on, not that it's long-term safe.


Are you self-employed now? Why stick with residential repair work instead of trying commercial or new construction?


I'm actually attempting to get into officework, somewhere. I can't do another twenty years of physical construction, whether in houses or factories.

>Are you self-employed now?

Yes, but I choose not to work regularly.

Fortunately, I have enough savings to not be too worried — presuming the economy picks up within the next few years (I can outlast this presidency, doing nothing).


I was scrolling around to see if I can find someone else that thought the same. In my usage of melatonin, it's only when I'm super stressed and can't seem to calm down enough to sleep.


That's the same move from the Ransom movie from 1996 https://youtu.be/haThIxPnYro?si=Jxu0elA-ylB5Z15q


when you got out of Spark, what did you go to?


BigQuery ELT, the org I went to was rather immature in their data practice, and I sold them on getting some proper orchestration (Dataform, their preference over DBT, and Airflow), and keeping the architecture coherent.

I'd have rather stuck with Spark just because I prefer Scala or Python to SQL (and that comes with e.g. being far easier to unit test), but life happened and that ecosystem was getting disrupted anyway.


Mmmm CRISPR bacon


Cook your food. I realize some people prefer it raw but from what I understand, cooking food kills ecoli. My family has eaten lettuce that has had ecoli reports but we usually thoroughly cook or vegetables.


Can't really cook lettuce...


Parboiled lettuce is nice.

1. Tear the lettuce into large pieces, boil it for half a minute, and wipe off the water.

2. Mix 1 tablespoon each of oyster sauce and water, 1 teaspoon each of soy sauce and sesame oil, put it in the microwave for 20 seconds, and pour it over the lettuce.


A wilted lettuce salad is delicious and my favorite restaurant does a grilled romaine salad that is exceptional but generally I agree with you.

Reminds me when I was Amazon, one of our tablets was codenamed Thor. We could ask the device what it's codename was and we special cases some functionality for the tablet we built. But it was the same code we used for the android app and it turned out some other tablet manufacturer used the codename Thor and all of a sudden the code was super broken on that device.
