Sounds like a fraud against investors? That could be a way to attack this problem because in the U.S., many issues get turned into laws and regulations protecting shareholders.
- What do you think "loading the project" means when discussing context?
- > In a monorepo, just loading the project consumes ~20k tokens
I don't work on a monorepo, and as an example, what I would consider a mid-size service in my mid-size company is 7M tokens.
I can't but ask: do all people who are so enthusiastic about AI for coding only work on trivial projects?
- I've thought these frozen and snowed trees are common in all mountains.
- Exactly. You might also enjoy Bret Devereaux' recent series of how life was really like for pre-modern peasants. Also includes parts focusing on women in particular. https://acoup.blog/2025/07/11/collections-life-work-death-an...
- This is the first post in a series discussing the basic contours of life – birth, marriage, labor, subsistence, death – of pre-modern peasants and their families. Prior to the industrial revolution, peasant farmers of varying types made up the overwhelming majority of people in settled societies (the sort with cities and writing).
- Drifted to the Caribbean.
- Except that more often than not, Claude is blocked from reading the article.
This used to work great two years ago when chatgpt first got the Web browsing feature. Nowadays, no eyeballs on ads: no content.
- There's a free book on this topic: The Architecture of Open Source Applications

Maybe that would be a good start. You can then pick a project to dive in.
As a more specific tip, I've done some hacks in Nginx long time ago and found it quite nice.
- FWIW I have the €20 Pro plan and exchange maybe 20 messages with Opus (with thinking) every day, including one weeks-long conversation. Plus a few dozen Sonnet tasks and occasionally light weight CC.
I'm not a programmer, though - engineering manager.

- How many wood workers were there as a proportion of the population in the 1800s and now?
- Eleven Reader works well enough for me on iPhone. Free tier.
- The bottleneck is usually in SD card write speeds, however. Sport photographers often skip raw and only use JPG because the files are smaller and as a result, one can take more photos in one burst.
- size_t has been in the C standard since C89. "for (int i = 0..." might have it's uses so it doesn't make sense to disallow it. But I'd argue that it's not really a common textbook way to iterate over an array.
- If Germany is conquered by Russia, there's exactly nothing done to combat climate change. Warding them off gives at least a chance to work on that and some progress.
- The basic idea with tags sounds very similar to Reddit. Especially with the initial focus on links. Reddit has degenerated into something a bit different, however. Why would your app stay true to the original concept in the face of scaling and financial pressure?

Random checks and whistleblowing are used in other, more "serious" processes, e.g., tax checks. At least here in Europe.
