Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.
In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

Claude really does feel like it has something more going on than any of the other models. It's hard to say what exactly, and I think it is still limited by the architecture, but Anthropic is definitely at the forefront of making LLMs that can properly reason about things.

In past side projects i would never bother to make a UI, or I would just have a janky CLI that interacts with everything, having Claude make me a simple little web interface for things now is really nice, even if its not “good” it’s very helpful and makes things more fun to keep working on

2025-10-18 15:58:27 UTC

Added support to Konbini for jetstream and multiple backends. Jetstream is *much* lighter in terms of bandwidth and CPU to process the firehose, and the multiple backends config can be used to just subscribe to individual PDSs instead of a full relay firehose.

2025-10-17 18:13:33 UTC

It's really amazing to me, a person born in the 90s, that I have a 13" laptop that has 24 CPU cores that go up to 5.1Ghz and 96GB of ram and it weighs under 3 pounds. So easy to take for granted just how far compute performance has improved.

Claude 4.0 review so far:
Its definitely the best coding model, really solid stuff there.
It doesn't necessarily generate better code on a function by function level, but it stays on track for longer tasks much better, and its a lot better at spotting issues.

If this whole non-archival relay thing moves forward as is, it means pretty much any dev can run a relay. Requirements move down to ~8 cores, 16gb ram, ~2Tb ssd (can reduce this too) and as much bandwidth as you want to provide to your downstream users
