Delivering things - from code to product
A month of struggle. It's not like I got bored with OpenAI Codex or have spare time to play with the new toy - it's quite the opposite. I like codex - it's my main productivity tool. However, for 4 weeks in a row I hit the weekly Codex limit 1-2 days before the end ... Read more The post Month with Claude Code first appeared on Hey, ruX is here. .
A lot of hate and wasted time with Claude Code, some local LLM usual frustration, warm Kaohsiung, cold Tokyo, chaotic Hanoi and clean Beijing. Still coding on the phone via ssh.

Sops for the security paranoid Can you imagine people downloading random binaries from GitHub, running them locally, and then trusting them with secrets? I can't either, but apparently this is a perfectly normal thing people do every day. If that makes you mildly uncomfortable, here's the less trusting version: do not install the binary directly, ...

Google Gemini pretty useless Imagine how bad it must be that Google Gemini, sitting in the very same Gmail window, works worse than an externally connected ChatGPT for mail search? Google literally hosts all the data but is incapable of answering basic questions. I regret getting the Pro subscription. Gmail writing assistant spits the prompt: ...

Oh no, summer comes to an end! "Let's make LLM generate questions and answer them!" That's a recipe for the bad-quality LLM-stuffed SEO project Yeah, we just keep generating shit answers: 7b quantised model should do just fine, why not!

Replit is great Despite them being jerks about incorrectly issued invoices, the platform is just amazing. It's never been this easy for the average Joe to build something custom from scratch.

Monthly rubric about the curious things I have learnt / discovered Golang stdlib can't unmarshal the whole JSON from the stream I believe that stdlib should dictate the standards of high-quality, efficient software development.

Personal programming language complexity grading I was reflecting about what language is easier to use for the production grade apps and MVP.

Setting up Transparent TCP Proxifier (aka VPN) in Linux Can't Be Easier Just wow, you never stop learning about Linux. You can wrap all TCP traffic transparently via an SSH channel just like that: Install proxychains-ng (alternatives include torsocks or tsocks).

Classy Ubuntu's snap Snaps were invented to break down the system and annoy users make software easy to upgrade, mitigate dependency hell, and add some sort of placebo security layer.

You’ve probably heard of AI, the thing that probably does very useful things, even if it’s just part of a product title. So, ASUS, of course, has AI Mesh technology.

Even when one thinks in English, it doesn't guarantee fluency or that one will sound like a native speaker.

As blockchains are expanding their influence, it's quite evident for an ordinary developer that Solidity has almost nothing to do with JavaScript. I'm very particular about compile-time checks and runtime safety when it comes to writing software, and it becomes apparent if you read my other posts. In 2018, when I first came across Ethereum, ...
