I've been using this model (as a coding agent) for the past few days, and it's the first time I've felt that an open source model really competes with the big labs. So far it's been able to handle most things I've thrown at it. I'm almost hesitant to say that this is as good as Opus.

Can you share how you're running it?

My experience with using AI tools for code review is that they do find critical bugs (from my retrospective analysis, maybe 80% of the time), but the signal to noise ratio is poor. It's really hard to get it not to tell you 20 highly speculative reasons why the code is problematic along with the one critical error. And in almost all cases, sufficient human attention would also have identified the critical bug - so human attention is the primary bottleneck here. Thus poor signal to noise ratio isn't a side issue, it's one of the core issues.

As a result, I'm mostly using this selectively so far, and I wouldn't want it turned on by default for every PR.

For the signal to noise reason, I start with Claude Code reviewing a PR. Then I selectively choose what I want to bubble up to the actual review. Often times, there's additional context not available to the model or it's just nit picky.

Pretty cool and related to another path of work I'm following from Steve Yegge: https://medium.com/@steve-yegge/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16...

Supabase seems to be killing it. I read somewhere they are used by ~70% of YCombinator startups. I wonder how many of those eventually move to self-hosted.

I had a lot of fun reading the articles about Gas Town although I started to lose track of the odd naming. Only odd because they make sense to Steve and others who have seen the Mad Max, Water World movies.

I promptly gave Claude the text to the articles and had him rewrite using idiomatic distributed systems naming.

Fun times!

Before I clicked on this I was optimistic and thought this was going to be about how we've turned a corner and the web stack pendulum is now swinging back to the easier days before frontend frameworks.

A web app platform written in Rust with the primary focus on zero-dependency apps and using Pingora as a forward and reverse proxy. Targeting Hetzner for hosting and Cloudflare for DNS. I love Rust but don’t like the long compile times which led me down this rabbit hole (zero dependencies make for fast compiles).

I get the O’Reilly subscription through the ACM. It’s an extra $75 a year after a regular ACM membership. A lot less than $500/year.

thesurlydev · 2 months ago

For a while, the O'Reilly subscription was included in the $99/yr ACM membership. Then they stopped offering O'Reilly for a bit. Then they brought it back as part of the $75 skills add-on.

I feel like this is a little known secret (discount via ACM) that more folks should know about. Hopefully this post helps spread the word.
