To stop uncompensated overtime and on-call? I’d like that very much.

Title is inaccurate. Fixed more “security bugs” not “bugs”. The article is specifically about security vulnerabilities.

Shameful. Are there ethical standards to be part of YC?

The most productive programmer was able to choose the most impactful problem to solve and how to solve it? There's a lesson in there...

Do you think the future is more sophisticated agent management, or will tooling increasingly fall away to a single chat session with an executive agent of sorts?

Agent orchestrators are the IDE dream repackaged. IDEs never really took off, excepting lock-in/monolopolization (Visual Studio, Xcode). They never lived up to the grand vision of the likes of Alan Kay. IDEs of today are still basicall

That is a good post. Thank you for sharing. I can't help but notice that this person is speaking as a programmer, not the person in charge of employing programmers. Is that what the business values code review for? In my experience, ma

Producing features and fixing bugs, same as it was before. The organizational process of software development has not changed much with AI: execs decide direction and initiatives, PMs decide what to build, which is broken down into features

Gating integration behind code review is futile. I (and many other engineers) already automated it. My agent responds to review requests and reviews as me. Company policies enforcing human code review are futile. I think all these platforms

Don't overcomplicate it. A business sells products or services for more than it costs to provide them. A product needs sales, but sales don't need a product: selling first is cheaper and less risky than building first. Sell what p

Huh. The sales team at my company is the one who closes millions in ARR and all the enterprise contracts - not the CEO. I’m sure being the “conduit of information and a representative element” is very important though. Someone has to atte

All I know is creating yet another place to store data is not going to solve your problem. The problem of scattered data is to put data in one place.

What's the moat? I asked the same question to Google, "What materials do I need to build a fence?" and I get an LLM-generated answer + ads. If I do the same with duckduckgo or Siri I get the answer without the ads. LLM infere

> Get on a call with the reviewer when it goes into the review column. The context switch cost is simply moved to the reviewer, who presumably was working on something. It’s net the same result.

I agree. Too many use "perfectionism" as an excuse to ship unremarkable crap that doesn't meet spec.

If the PDS URL is dead, is there a way to find the new canonical PDS? I guess you can theoretically index every log from everywhere and just look for new entries signed by the same key? But there would be no way to know if you have the late

IMO code/service owners. Orgs can be scaled by splitting code ownership into teams owning different services. And if someone isn’t competent enough to ship code on the service they’ve been assigned to work on, they aren’t qualified to

Unpopular opinion: PRs are a massive waste of everyone’s time. Competent engineers committing working increments of software straight to main and continuously integrated and deployed > PRs of any sort.

Hard to imagine it would be worse than Republicans, who don’t have any policy except for the whims of a man child.

We don’t have to guess. Democrats had a pragmatic policy under Biden — which was rescinded by Trump when he took office. https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statement...

I think it’s becoming more and more performative. We’ve never been less focused on the actual product — the software — than we are now. The focus is increasingly on how someone generates code, despite that not having much to do with the pro

The fact that someone has billions of dollars and still chooses to spend 40-60 hours/week going to the office to work on Facebook seems psychotic. He can do practically anything he wants, and he chooses to work on Facebook. It’s mind b

Are they? I think it could be the opposite, ironically. Trump is in many ways the result of news media directed at voters, which was mostly misinformation and propaganda.

From a user’s perspective: To use Bluesky I need to create an account, and to create an account I need to choose the server where that account is hosted. Once I have an account I can follow any account even if hosted w/ someone else. T

If it quacks like a duck... An account has a single Personal Data Server (PDS), right? The DID links to a PDS which is the canonical data feed for a user, and where a user's writes go. Data can be replicated but the PDS is treated as c
