claude is so unbearably slow it's genuinely easier and faster to just write code myself

i hate electronic queues they are the most inhumane thing about interacting with the govt
the days just collapse into one continuous mush, my sense of time is struggling. like wdym it's already been almost 3 weeks and i barely did anything
an issue with unemployment is that once there's no longer an anxiety-inducing reason to get out of bed in the morning β i tend not to, causing me not to tackle personal projects either...
i need my almost-unlimited smart opus back πππππ
ehh idk it's just a general impression i get from seeing techbros over on twitter
its funny to me how people are slowly realizing that bun is indeed a garbage runtime and that maybe the unix people were onto something when they said "do one thing and do it well"
i wish i was born like 10-15 years earlier bweh
like, a ~week ago it successfully did an arguably harder version of the task (it had to work around some limitations in a library it was using) with very little supervision
now im trying to get it to do the same task *without* needing to work around the limitations, and it's STRUGGLING π
"other metrics" from https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code/ the trend of input tokens, output tokens and tool calls count is clearly downwards.
did they silently reduce the reasoning budgets or something?
the only plausible explanation i can think of, apart from running quanitized models during peak hours (but that would probably be visible on perf tracker so idk)
they lobotomized claude so bad its borderline unusable sob
somehow no other terminal emulator currently has *both* the scrollbar and the gui search field. except maybe vscode's integrated terminal lol.
and both features are kinda critical (for me at least).
kitty does search by putting the entire scrollback into `less`, which is ughhh
-5 engineers at deno at almost the same time geez i wonder what happened
can't find any info at all...
pr as in prompt request
claude not calling me a linter challenge (impossible)
i keep finding myself in a place where i just rly dont know what to do
everything feels kinda boring and pointless when i can just prompt an llm and it will build a kinda shitty but still mostly working version of whatever i was gonna do, in a fraction of time
and idk how to spend the time i saved
on one hand yeah, leaning heavily into llm-assisted coding did help me overcome procrastination on some older projects i kept postponing. yet at the same time.. not actually seeing the finishing line may have been what kept me engaged?
the result doesnt matter if i had fun or smth
llms skew "is it worth building it" in more than one way. most of the discourse ive seen focuses on the "building stuff is easier than ever, so we build too much, even what we shouldn't"
but for me the experience is kinda the opposite - if it's easy to build, why bother doing anything at all?
one sad thing about llms is that building silly stuff for fun is just.. no longer fun
theres no longer any point in doing silly shit just for the sake of it (and maybe to show off a bit), bc most frontier llms would just oneshot it. and everyone knows that and would just assume you vibecoded it. :c
yet at the same time anthropics lobotomized claude af π
codex is weird. it might be a *bit* better a the "make X work" kind of tasks and one-shots stuff more often, but the code it generates is fucking awful and i find myself spending a lot more time cleaning up after it than after claude
and it also seems worse at the "debug X" kind of tasks
forced drug use but it's melatonin so that i sleep better and fix my schedule
biome does too, but 80 line width is literally unusable, half of my horizontal screen real estate is unused yet im forced to scroll a lot more
biome fixes literally zero prettier's problems, you *dont need* to keep this shit in one line just because it fits the 120 line width, just let me fucking split it manually and dont revert it ffs
claude code is a drug
damn if only there was a deterministic and fast tool to move files while updating imports and we didn't need to dispatch subagents to do that
like genuinely why dont they just expose vscode lsp to cc in its entirety.
(ik that it has some own lsp thing but i cant get it to work π)
thus 5-6, not 8. haiku interference takes about 1.5s
what
how the fuck does claude -p have ~5-6 seconds startup time. isn't bun supposed to have the fastest startup?
i don't like gpt models and i also don't really want to pay that much
