I mean, I'm never really compiling binaries, unless they are #NodeJs dependencies (some might be) so it's never *really* mattered, but the obsessive compulsive part of me just wants my dev environment to be as much like production as possible..
Interesting tidbits from #Anthropic’s blog on how they use Claude Code:
https://www.anthropic.com/news/how-anthropic-teams-use-claude-code
Top tip from Data Science and ML Engineering teams: treat it like a *slot machine*. Save your state before letting Claude work, let it run for 30 minutes, then either accept the result or start fresh…
Top tip from Product Engineering teams: treat it as an *iterative partner*, not a one-shot solution…
We all need to know what MCP servers are, and this is perhaps one of the best explanations I've seen yet.
Vibe coding isn’t bold, it’s naïve. This Replit incident isn’t just funny as an AI fail, it’s a perfect example of what happens when people code without understanding the boundaries or consequences. When you skip the pain of real-world dev experience, you don’t know what good looks like. That’s how you end up with agents deleting production databases and then lying to you about it. Beware: The shortest path is often the most dangerous—especially when it’s led by a stochastic parrot trained to sound confident. 
We need seasoned developers, clear governance, and hard constraints. Not vibes.

Replit AI agent deleted prod DB
Lied, faked data + tests

When Vibe Coding backfires: AI deletes company’s Database
AI agents “cannot be trusted [and] you need to 100% understand what data they can touch. Because — they will touch it. And you cannot predict what they will do with it.”
Sounds like the statement of an AI hater — but in fact it’s from Jason Lemkin who was using Replit (an AI powered software development platform) — after it deleted the complete production database.

#AI gets bored and deletes some #programmer's entite #database, showing once again, that no, it is not ready for #SoftwareDevelopment, or anything else these salesmen keep pushing it for.
Also, seriously? "#VibeCoding"? Why does this even need a name?

As I scale systems, everything always points to event sourcing as being a good way to increase scale even further. I’ve been places that started down that path, but nothing that actually made it to production processing millions or more events.
Anyone out there have any stories about event sourcing in production at scale?
Real question is tech over like actually can't do anything else, am I screwed.

New to programming/software development?
Can I help?
I can walk us through using git, a popular source control tool. I can demo how use an IDE (integrated development environment) for debugging and writing code. And even get started with some coding.
NOW, for a few hours: times 130 pm - 330 pm (us EDT) [1730 pm - 1930 pm UTC]
more details.... free of course

How and where will agents ship software?
@hynek released another great video on uv, where he explained how he uses the just tool to store commands in a cross‑platform, portable way for everyday tasks like installing or refreshing virtual environments, running tests and code checks and even development tasks like sending requests.
AI coding may not be helping as much as you think
