2 days agoSure one can, currently, get decent code output by using hundreds or thousands of tokens, or using multiple LLMs / loops, or having agents go burn however many on iteration!
This always stumps me. Because if that was true, Anthropic products (API, Cache, Claude Cowork, Claude Code) would not be shitty.
They are shitty. They are coded shittily, and Anthropic is unable to solve some bugs for years now. E.g. there is the console flickering bug that they tried to fix 3 times and rollbacked or failed all of them.
Or maybe we define decent differently.
Most of Africa, from what I heard from African developers.
There are still large patches where the internet has outages often, data centers there too suffer from it. Same with energy, depending on the region it is not a guarantee.
(This is of course a consequence of Africa still transforming and putting up infrastructure, and it varies vastly depending on the region).
It’s hard to code with remote LLMs if they can go dark for half a day, and it is pricey to have it running on a local stack (at good token output speed).
