   I'm so confused. Why would the United States care about people's health? It feels out of character for this administration given the times.

   Have you found any models that work better for your use case?

   Does anyone have any information on how much this will cost? Or is it one of those products where if you have to ask you can't afford it.

   You know what, you have a very good point. I'll give this another shot. Maybe it can be fast enough and I can just isolate the orm queries to some kind of repository pattern so I'm not testing sql queries over and over.
6. sneilan1 Oct 29, 2025 parent

   This is the way.

   The other unspoken aspect of this is with agentic coding, the ability to have the ai also test queries quickly is very valuable. In a non-agentic coding setup, mongomock would not be as useful.

   Not familiar with OrioleDB. I’ll look it up. May I ask how this helps? Just curious.

   True but if you wind up using parts of postgres that aren't supported by sqlite then it's harder to use sqlite. I agree however, if I was able to just use sqlite, I would do that instead. But I'm using a lot of postgres extensions & fields that don't have direct mappings to sqlite.

   Otherwise SQLITE :)

    Because I can read the mongomock library and understand exactly what it's doing. And mongo's aggregation pipelines are easier to model than sql queries in code. Sure, it's possible to run into an edge case but for a lot of general queries for filtering & aggregation, it's just fine.
11. sneilan1 Oct 29, 2025 parent

    True but then my tests take longer to run. I really like having very fast tests. And then my tests have to make local network calls to a postgres server. I like my tests isolated.
12. sneilan1 Oct 29, 2025 parent

    Yes, performance can be a big issue with postgres. And vertical scaling can really put a damper on things when you have a major traffic hit. Using it for kafka is misunderstanding the one of the great uses of kafka which is to help deal with traffic bursts. All of a sudden your postgres server is overwhelmed and the kafka server would be fine.

    I'm starting to like mongodb a lot more given the python library mongomock. I find it wonderful to create tests that run my queries against mongo in code before I deploy them. Yes, mongo has a lot of quirks and you have to know aws networking to set it up with your vpc so you don't get nailed with egress costs. And it's not the same query patterns and some queries are harder and you have maintain your own schemas. But the ability to test mongo code with mongomock w/o having to run your own mongo server is SO VALUABLE. And yes, there are edge cases with mongomock not supporting something but the library is open source and pretty easy to modify. And it fails loudly which is super helpful. So if something is not supported you'll know. Maybe you might find a real nasty feature that's hard to implement but then just use a repository pattern like you would for testing postgres code in your application.

    https://github.com/mongomock/mongomock Extrapolating from my personal usage of this library to others, I'm starting to think that mongodb's 25 billion dollar valuation is partially based on this open source package :)

    This is awesome! I’m already integrated into TillerHQ. Apart from price, do you have any differentiators that make it take less time for auto categorizing? Tiller doesn’t have any built in AI tools for auto categorization so I had to roll my own.

    Also I’m extremely skeptical of your pricing. $5 one time seems too good to be true.

    https://app.grantpuma.com/

    It's a startup for finding grants. We have california state, federal, non-profit and california city/county grants. My landing page absolutely sucks but if you sign up / upload some papers or make some search cards you'll like the experience.

    I'm very excited to try out the new Qwen XL that came out recently for visual design. I could really use some better communication to users of the capabilities of the platform.

    Same. I haven't written any code by hand in some time. Oh well. I guess I'm just doing it wrong.

    I love the little synthesizer in the square in the footer :) What an awesome easter egg..

    True, if you are in a big company with lots of people, you won't benefit much from the improved throughput of agentic coding.

    A greenfield startup however with agentic coding in it's DNA will be able to run loops around a big company with lots of human bottlenecks.

    The question becomes, will greenfield startups, doing agentic coding from the ground up, replace big companies with these human bottlenecks like you describe?

    What does a startup, built using agentic coding with proper engineering practices, look like when it becomes a big corporation & succeeds?

19. sneilan1 Sep 24, 2025 parent

    It’s not necessarily faster to do this for a single task. But it’s faster when you can do 2-3 tasks at the same time. Agentic coding increases throughout.

    It's not skills that got him ahead. It's the connections to the "right" people that can be benefit him the most.

    Yes, thank you for being one of the few people to appreciate this experiment. Sure, maybe it's a little wonky right now but I'm glad someone took this risk and tried the "jesus take the wheel" move with Claude Code.

    We, as human beings, keep trying this and eventually figure out how to get models to build more and more of the software stack for us and professionally!

    They do a lot of work but a lot of market research can be automated too.
25. sneilan1 Aug 1, 2025 parent

    Oh so this is not an integrated command line tool like Claude code? I assumed it was something where Cerebras released a decent prompt and command line agent setup. A lot of the value of Claude Code is how polished it is and how much work went into the prompt design.

    Claude code weekly limits are hard to distinguish. It's not easy to understand their usage limits. I've found when I run into too much opus usage, I switch to sonnet but I've never ran into a usage limit with sonnet 4 yet.
27. sneilan1 Aug 1, 2025 parent

    1,000 messages per day should be plenty as a daily development driver. I use claude code sonnet 4 exclusively and I do not send more than 1,000 messages per day. However, that is my current understanding. I am certainly not pressing enter 1,000 times! Maybe there are more messages being sent under the hood that I do not realize?
28. sneilan1 Aug 1, 2025 parent

    I'm so excited to see a real competitor to Claude Code! Gemini CLI, while decent, does not have a $200/month pricing model and they charge per API access - Codex is the same. I'm trying to get into the https://cloud.cerebras.ai/ to try the $50/month plan but I can't even get in.

    You can copy paste my entire previous comment into Claude code and along with your question and ask for suggestions. I’m sure it could create an MCP server for you.
