Not even remotely close to 2023 hallucinations.

What 6 month security review?


As someone who switches between most CLIs to compare, Amp is still on top, costs more, but has the best results. The librarian and oracle make it leagues ahead of the competition.


I don't understand how people use these tools without a subscription. Unless you are using it very infrequently paying per token gets costly very fast.


Work pays for it. I don't work for stingy companies that don't provide the tools required to do the job. (our team spends > $1000/m EACH on Amp alone)


Could you please share a little on why it's noticeably better than Claude Code on a sub (or 5? I mean, sometimes you can brute force a solution with agents)?


I think gemini 3 is hot garbage in everything. Its great on a greenfield trying to 1 shot something, if you're working on a long term project it just sucks.


Remote MCP with API key which has claims works well to reduce the tool count to only that of what you need.


ai isn't a bubble.


I wish my forehead had more headroom for the amount of travel my right eyebrow needs to accommodate this statement.


There is a bubble all-right, in token usage. All big providers show exponential increase in token usage month over month.

Despite continuous optimization and data center buildup, I frequently encounter "model is overloaded" errors.


Looks a lot like web2.0 though.


Haven't we already gone through web3.0?


The parent comment is an indicator that we are in a AI bubble.


I disagree, Codex always gets stuck and wants to double check and clarify things, its like "dammit just execute the plan and don't tell me until its completely finished"

The output of codex is also not as great. Codex is great at the planning and investigation portion but sucks at execution and code quality.


I've been dealing with this on Codex a lot lately. It confidently wraps up a task, I go to check it's work... and it's not even close.

Then I do a double take and re-read the summary message and realize that it pulled a "and then draw the rest of the owl", seemingly arbitrarily picking and choosing what it felt like doing in that session and what it punted over to "next steps to actually get it running".

Claude is more prone to occasional "cheating" with mocked data or "tbd: make this an actual conditional instead of hardcoded If True" stuff when it gets overwhelmed which is annoying and bad. But it at least has strong task adherence for the user's prompt and doesn't make me write a lawyer-esque contract to avoid any loopholes Codex will use to avoid doing work.


Are you using something like spec-kit?


I've tried going to sites to buy things and been met with Cloudflare CAPTCHA, only to immediately leave and buy what I wanted elsewhere.


Cloudflare enabled blocking by default. People were on X complaining about it.


Blocking access to everyone or to scraping crawlers?

They have detailed stats about the behavior of all visitors, including how bot-like they are and how likely they are to scrape your (their users’) content.


Huge as in usage? - yes it is huge.

Huge as in the library ecosystem? - yes it is huge.

Huge as in its a massive dependency? - yes it is huge.

I couldn't understand why React was so popular till I read a comment where someone explained that Tailwind and React in a large company allows the 1000s of devs to work in tiny little components without conflicting with others, and all of a sudden it makes sense why people make themselves suffer using React. Then everyone else is just following the large companies because "well X/Y/Z use it so we should too!!!"


React is 7.4kb minified, add react-dom and you add another 3.6kb - so ~11kb

Htmx is 59.9kb minified.

So it’s not huge in at least one dimension: file size.

https://bundlephobia.com/package/react@19.1.1

https://bundlephobia.com/package/react-dom@19.1.1

https://bundlephobia.com/package/htmx.org@2.0.7


https://bundlephobia.com/package/react-dom@18.3.1 130kb for react-dom 15-18 (would check more but site has rate limited me...)

So, while yes the very latest version of react is *finally* as slim as competitors like preact, don't act like all the legacy projects where a migration is off the table due to time or money just don't exist.


I just created a new vite react project. All it does is render:

function App() { return <div>Hello world</div> }

Publish it as if it would be deployed to prod. ~185kb


Your level of understanding is not very huge. React is an absolute pleasure to use, and we do enjoy it - that is why it became the most popular library and a revolution in web dev.


> Your level of understanding is not very huge

We don't need such comments here.


Why do you speak for someone else? Those "We" are in the same room with us?

The commenter above first couldn't understand, then read some comment, then understood something completely out-of-point throwing a bunch of generalisms touching me like "people make themselves suffer" and "everyone else is just following" and decided to dump it here? I can't just leave it untouched since I have actual experience with React.


"We" as the HN users, expect at least some level of civility when conversing here. It's right up there in the guidelines:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Try to argue without being personal.


Tell me then does this kind of comment fits those guidelines or welcome here?

Is it kind? Is it curious? Thoughtful? Substantive?


In fact it contradicts guidelines, as they encourage downvoting without explanation in order to not clutter the thread. They were trying to explain to you, whereas most readers will sinply downvote. Yes, I think they meant that as a kindness.


Do you think people criticizing React do without experience? How naivy.
