I can't say much about State Street, but lumping BlackRock and Vanguard into the same category tells me that you don't know much.

Plot twist, my build.sh invokes nix build and all I have to do on CI is to install nix and setup caching.

I would actually start interviewing with AI as well. How well they prompt and how good they are at reviewing AI slop?

Yes, it's in base IntelliJ. TODO and FIX tracking, IIRC.

Interesting, yesterday I was looking at the source code of some library, and noticed a lot TODOs scattered all over. At first, I thought it's a red flag and I shouldn't use this library. However, once I read them all of them, were

At least it breaks during evaluation most of the time, and rolling back is super easy if it broke after activation. Also, it seems like you're using unstable if you're having that many breakages, sooo kinda asking for it?

[speaks japanese] To be fair, there is a difference between when subtitles match the source language and when they don't. Former are often verbatim.

Well, it just shows that they've downloaded subtitles.

Sure, but in this case, git being distributed is what sold it for me. I've switched off svn as soon as I've learned of git.

May I use how often and why you use bisect? I don't remember the last time I needed bisect. Well, I also don't work in linux kernel sized repos, so there is that.

by 0x457 1y ago
Sorry, that meant to be a joke. Bisect is cool and easy to use, I just never use it.

I believe it could be true because I think training dataset contained a lot more yaml than json. I mean...you know how much yaml get churned out every second?

Reason I like git is because I use like 2% of its features. I don't fall for propaganda that I need to use bisect and co. 99% of git commands I call are aliased to 3 characters, so it's dense terminology doesn't bother me.

I think nix-the-language is pretty simple and easy to learn language. It's visually hard to parse and a lot of syntax decisions make you wonder, but it's not the worst. The problem is that you're very rarely exposed to it dir

So I found some LLMs are wonderful at Nix. A few times I just prompted "port this <github link>" and got a pull request with nix package exactly how I would have written it. One time even manager to implement multiple missin

Guided generation is called "Structured Output" by other providers? Well partially generated content streaming thing is great and I haven't seen it anywhere else.

There are some tasks that it can fail and not, but a lot of "Claude Code [or whatever] is amazing" with a reply along the lines of "It doesn't work for me, it just creates a bunch of slop in my codebase." IMO is &qu

While it's common that coding agents have a way to execute commands and drive a web browser (usually via MCP) that's not what make it an agent. Agentic workflow just means that LLM has some tools it can ask agent to run, in return

You're saying it like this is first time AI changes its meaning in marketing. People used to market "smart cycle" in dishwashers as AI.

Then you have to add a rule to every agent to tell it to use this tool.

If this is a special str that you have to pass down all the way through your call stack, then yes, it's str-colored.

Yeah, that's why I often save context once there is enough information for work to be done. Then, once I notice regression in quality, I do a summary of work done (still could be a low quality) and add it on top of previous checkpoint.

Yes, but on agentic workflows it's possible to do more intelligent compaction.
