I feel like we are seeing agentic coding tools morph into walled gardens with these acquisitions. Anthropic has restricted claude code usage while OpenAI has sort of let Codex fill the void. I am curious to see how this continues to evolve.
I watched Alien: Earth recently and was admiring the TUIs everywhere. The show takes place in 2120 and they kept up the aesthetics of the original movies. A future full of synthetic humanoids and interstellar ships kept the TUI. I do not remember tablets being in the series, however even those seem to use a similar TUI.
I look forward to my great grandchildren rediscovering the TUI.
I poked around at the code and I like some of the concepts here. Introducing jinjapy as a jinja template with frontmatter allowing me to write python code is useful in some scenarios.
I got most excited about sqlorm (https://github.com/hyperflask/sqlorm). It is way too early to feel comfortable adopting this, but I really like the concepts. I use pydantic a lot, I would love to see the SQL as docstrings as a pydantic extension. I get tired of writing serializers everywhere and would prefer to have a single pydantic model to reference throughout my codebase. Primarily I use Django, but these days am using less and less of the framework batteries outside of the ORM.
As an autistic person with 3 kids with ASD, I get triggered by this bullshit nearly daily. I sincerely hope that whatever "reveal" they have planned does not further harm our ability to access the early interventions that my kids are benefiting from.
I was using Windsurf in Pycharm, until I switched to Claude Code / Gemini CLI last week. I am also finding that Copilot with Sonnet 4 is pretty on par to Windsurf.
I like to think of my interactions with an LLM like I'm explaining a request to a junior engineer or non engineering person. You have to be more verbose to someone who has zero context in order for them to execute a task correctly. The LLM only has the context you provided so they fail hard like a junior engineer would at a complicated task with no experience.

Life is imitating too many dystopian books, movies, etc these days. I think we need to put an end to all creative works before the timeline becomes irrecoverably destroyed.
I was surprised to read they don't expect atmospheric burnup and are targeting a splash down in the Indian Ocean. I really hope someone didn't mess up some mundane detail in their calculations.
What gave you that impression? I always consulted my financials when making decisions. Unfortunately the books were wrong and I made incorrect choices from that bad data.
Bench was a terrible service in my experience. I used it for one of my startups a few years ago. I personally invested a lot into said start-up. I checked my books and everything seemed ok. Eventually I found that they had hidden my Gusto payroll line items from view and they were no longer taken into consideration in my books. This led to a $300k shortfall from where I thought I was vs reality. Their team just shrugged when I brought the issue to their attention. The impact was immediate layoffs affecting real people who depended on me.
Sure ultimately everything falls upon me the founder. But something so common as GUSTO payroll should never be miscategorized and hidden from view.
I was looking for something like this a few weeks ago. I typically use Django and hate the template engines limitations. I needed to make some reusable components and the best option available was switching to jinja to get their macro support, bleh.
This reminds me of the best part of Flutter UI composition, but in a language I always return to.
Have you done any benchmarking? I don't even know what the comparison would be.

I just did this with my kids various school calendars all of which are locked up in gross PDF files. Claude only made one tiny mistake which it was able to correct when I asked it why it made the mistake. It actually pointed out the confusing formatting used by the author.
I tried to do the same with ChatGPT a few weeks ago and was unable to get very far.
