> But I'm finding it hard to actually do any of that.

Based on experience of someone in my family, I ask: are you and your doctor sure that the mood stabilizers themselves aren’t making that hard?

“Circling this territory for decades.” Try millennia. The world is filled with hungry ghosts. Ask a Buddhist.

I think you're making a fair comment, but it still irks me that you're quite light on details on what the "correct" approach is supposed to be, and it irks me also because it seems to now be a pattern in the discussion.

Someone gives a detailed-ish account of what they did, and that it didn't work for them, and then there are always people in the comments saying that you were doing it wrong. Fair! But at this point, I haven't seen any good posts here on how to do it _right_.

I remember this post which got a lot of traction: https://steipete.me/posts/just-talk-to-it 8 agents in parallel and so on, but light on the details.

Try using spec kit. Codex 5 high for planning; Claude code sonnet 4.5 for implementation; codex 5 high for checking the implementation; back to Claude code for addressing feedback from codex; ask Claude code to create a PR; read the PR description to ensure it tracks your expectations.

There’s more you’ll get a feel for when you do all that. But it’s a place to start.

I love when exercise is hyper-optimized as possible so I can back to what's most important: working at a job I actually hate to make as much money as possible -- the real source of my happiness.

Unlikely that working a job leads to making as much money as possible.

We should just call it engineering. We got better tools. Big whoop.

Be on their best behavior according to whom? Else what?

When will these geezers age out?

Then there's the 3rd leg of the triangle. If a startup built with AI does end up going past the rest of the pack, they will have no technical moat since the AI provider or someone else can just use the same AI to build it.

How frequently is a technical moat the thing that makes a business successful, relative to other moats?

Almost every parent comment on this is negative. Why is there such an anti-OpenAI bias on a forum run by YCombinator, basically the pseudo-parent of OpenAI?

It seems that there is a constant motive to view any decision made by any big AI company on this forum at best with extreme cynicism and at worse virulent hatred. It seems unwise for a forum focused on technology and building the future to be so opposed to the companies doing the most to advance the most rapidly evolving technological domain at the moment.

These guys are pursuing what they believe to be the biggest prize ever in the history of capitalism. Given that, viewing their decisions as a cynic, by default, seems like a rational place to start.
