Opus 4. 8 was one-shotting simpler bugs just a few days ago for me. The last couple of days however its been like using a slot machine, and I can no longer get it to output clean code that is less-complicated and actually resolves issues.

I've been setting up Multi-AZ for companies throughout my life. There were a handful of times that us-east-1 went down and I never remember Multi-AZ saving us from those downtimes. Has it ever worked for any of you?

Hello HN, I use AI to code, not all the time but it gets work done. Unless you have been under a rock for the last few years I bet you do to some degree as well. I'm sure we've crossed that line where we won't go back to unaided coding, so..
I'm currently considering creating a database to practice my Zig skills. And since I'm building it, I want to create something that can help people or solve problems that everyone has. I know you guys don't care.

The Arctic and sub-Arctic are places where communities already live, produce knowledge and self-govern. Yet recent geopolitical and economic involvement are bringing renewed interest in the region.
After ten years I’m working on a redesign of my personal tech blog. I want to look at some other blogs with good modern design. Of course searching for ‘well designed blogs’ or ‘webdesign 2026’ brings up endless marketing listicles.
