As someone who has worked with interns for year, expect feedback and reiterations always, be surprised if they get it the first time... which merits feedback as well!
But looks like the intern mafia is bombarding you with downvotes.
You are funny. Anthropic refuses to issue refunds, even when they break things.
I had an API token set via an env var on my shell, and claude code changed to read that env var. I had a $10 limit set on it, so found out it was using the API, instead of my subscription, when it stopped working.
I filed a ticket and they refused to refund me, even though it was a breaking change with claude code.
I am saying there is no evidence either way: they had contrasting experiences and one GP established this means that company has no standardized policies. Maybe they do, maybe they don't — I don't think we can definitively conclude anything.
I object to your conclusion that "they have no durable principles": not sure how do you get to that from two different experiences documented with a single paragraph.
This is becoming futile: this is not even about proof, but there not even being a full account of two cases you are basing your opinion on.
Obviously, you can derive any opinion you want out of that, but while I am used to terms like "probability" being misused like this, I've generally seen a higher standard at HN.
To each their own, though. Thank you for the discourse and have a good day.
Yes, it has gotten worse as time progressed. Some k8s services started to fail, which is how I noticed something was wrong. Then the k8s control plane was up and down. Then k8s control plan completely done. Now I can't even connect to any of my non k8s servers over ssh.
It's not terribly obvious while skimming the page but there are some videos linked via a few of those images ("Basic SQL ▶" etc.) and the author has also uploaded loads of narrated demos over the recent past, prior to releasing the project: https://x.com/ryrobes
If I were to attempt a summary myself... RVBBIT is a SQL-powered relational programming canvas with a visual Clojure REPL and full-stack UI framework.
Project guy here - yes, succinct messaging is an issue I'm working on - there is literally so much there. I've been trying to frame it like an Iceberg - on the above the water level its a nice drag and drop "data canvas" that supports SQL and Clojure nREPL connections (meaning it could be any REPL) that generates code to be tweaked and modded for what you need it for (with some very customizable composition).
But underneath the water line it's almost like a pub/sub reactive value engine - since everything is essentially a named parameter that can be subbed to by the client (by referencing it) and the client will push updates to any subbed clients. So, run a flow - each step in the flow is it's own subbable value - run a solver (arbitrary function) - its a sub value - signals (boolean triggers) also a sub... not to mention other client's UI values... also a subbable value.
It's a deep rabbit hole (pun intended?) of reactive / cascading effects - which is a great fertile ground for interactive dash creation. IMHO data tools want to be feedback loop factories.
This "problem" had been bugging me for a decade. The schism between "Proprietary BI Tools" (quick and inflexible) and just writing things from scratch (slow and wide open). You customers don't know or care what your tools can and can't do - and god forbid your org spent millions on Tableau (or whatever) already - your bed is basically made...
Why can't we have a bit of both - and put some direct-manipulation, Bret Victor-y Twists on it?
I just want to build "nice things" for my users that answer their questions, have some re-usability, lots of interactivity, and be able to check it into source control...
Ended up in this beautiful mutation of Tableau meets Hypercard meets Powerbuilder, etc (I think there is even a little SmallTalk and Lotus Notes in there). It's funny how the ultimate evolution of a dash tool is essentially an internal app builder...
Anyways - so I jumped off the ledge and dedicated an entire year to this - alpha is a bit rough around the edges, but it's def something interesting...
Don't let your dreams be memes - or something like that. :)
Sorry to be blunt, but HN is not for proofreading/vetting/reviewing your article. You should be doing that before you post it, if you are considering it to be high quality.
