Haha no, could be the last patch written mostly by hand. I was thinking about it. I started the work in October, and worked at it only from time to time. Check the tests that were completely written by Claude Opus: how much saved work, and how good the tests are.

I decided many years ago to avoid using invites to Lobsters. This transfer responsibility to the inviter, which I don't love.

US AC energy use? 4x the world data center. AI usage in datacenter usage? 10%. So AC aline is 40x the AI usage of energy. Yet I can't see the rage against AC and the American east cost having 17 degrees as standard at home / restaurants / ...

Btw we are past "code assistance". You can complete complicated problems without writing a single line of code, but just advising the right design, providing feedbacks, in a time that is 10 or 100 times smaller than what it was needed before. So it's a new paradigm, at this point.

Stefano, in Italy we are living a much better situation. There are people that use AI more, people that use AI less, but there isn't the acute polarization that there is in other environments. There are circles in the US where to say that LLMs are good at writing code is something you can't say.

This is not how it works, my blog post was the post accumulating *more* upvotes in the unit of time in the latest 2 hours, but if there are too many comments, it gets suppressed to death.

In the next months expect a huge surge of software systems that will do incredible stuff, normally not possible without big teams and total creative freedom.

Yep seems nice. But didn't try it so extensively.

In existing projects, LLMs are often *very* good at style transfer. The code was written with the same kind of style, minimalism and so forth, so it is as much or even more understandable than the PRs I had received in the past. But otherwise I would not merge it.

It was just "vibing"? No: the key ideas here are mine, I'm the product owner, and had to interact with the agent for some time. But those work currently was impossible for me to do in a side project like that.

P.S. I used Opus 4.5 for all the investigations (and the TCP debugging skills poking into the Linux internals are incredible, it can't *just* code / understand the code base). And... The Dell Latitude worth 400 euros runs the Redis test faster MacBook PRO 20x the price: Linux
