What was eye-opening, or rather, sobering for me was when I read an interview with an engineer who explained how incredible difficult it is for a robot to orient itself when it is lying on the floor and wants to stand up. Yes, it can do the

Would you mind sharing what you can and want about how the sausage is made? I would love to hear concrete cases where actual leverage is measurable. I‘m asking in good faith, not to attack your standpoint.

I‘ve built https://github.com/dx-tooling/productbuilding-orchestration for more or less the same use case as Broccoli, but in my case a) the „frontend“ is Slack, not a ticket system (but the agent people talk to in Sla

(I‘m saying this as someone who uses AI for coding a lot and mostly love it) Yeah, but is that really the same? Compilers work deterministically — if it works once, it will work always. LLMs are a different story for now.

I think you are on to something here. But it would mean that sentiment could change on a whim: a serious blackout somewhere in Europe that makes continent-wide headlines, and EV demand might crash.

Global copper reserves are about 980 million tonnes, with 1.5 billion tonnes of identified resources and 2024 mine production of about 23 million tonnes. A conventional car uses about 23 kg of copper and a battery-electric car about 83 kg,

I say this as someone who owns two EV cars, zero ICE cars, and loves everything about owning and driving EVs: it baffles me how quickly and noticeably consumers shift their preferences; I think I read something along the lines of „for the a

These days, all dev tooling of my projects lives behind mise tasks, and the runtime for my projects is Docker. This means that getting a project in shape for development on a new system looks like this: - clone project - `mise run setup` I

Nearly same story here. AMD and MSI will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Better yet, post about it on LinkedIn and explain what it taught you about marriage proposals!

My current assumption is that the interfaces and workflows that stakeholders and product owners use today to manage software engineering resources are the future interfaces and workflows towards agentic engineering systems.

Well, I‘m still using my brain from morning to evening, but I‘m certainly using it differently. This will without a doubt become a problem if the whole AI thing somehow collapses or becomes very expensive! But it’s probably the correct adap

https://github.com/dx-tooling/platform-problem-monitoring-co... could have a useful approach, too: it finds patterns in log lines and gives you a summary in the sense of „these 500 lines are all technically different,

There was a short moment in history where it seemed that the sentiment was: people will soon 3D-print 99% of their household items themselves instead of buying them. You absolutely could print things like cups, soap holders, picture frames,

Well, that’s the problem with product design — looking at it simply doesn’t suffice. It needs to be experienced in person. Well, that’s not (yet) possible, but this video does a good job in the meantime: https://m.youtube.com&#x2

You can still put a human in the loop of course, only merging PRs that are actually an improvement.

This is quite a wild take — but I‘m willing to not dismiss it outright. Not that I’m in any position or capacity to know anything more than the next guy about these matters. But it has a „so wild it could actually be true“ vibe.

It’s a great store of value! In the last 24 hours alone, it stored more than 12% of its value… somewhere.

Just a single data point, and I‘m not pretending it’s a conclusive one (yet), but I think there is a middle ground between buying a SaaS and vibe coding a replacement: replacing a SaaS with your own solution, using AI coding agents — while

That's fair to say, yes, with the important caveat that it isn't a 1:1 replacement of Webflow, which is exactly the point.

Exactly. And the big advantage for us is two things: Our content marketers now have a "Cursor-light" experience when creating landingpages, as this is a "text-to-landingpage" LLM-powered tool with a chat interface from t

The human-side interface is live and usable at https://app.ask-a-human.com ! Push notifications would be a natural next step, yes. In general, the idea is roughly similar to that „strangers help a blind person in an ad-hoc way“ n

I‘m not sure it’s a perfect example, but at least it’s a very realistic example from a company that really doesn’t have time and energy for hype or fluff: We are currently sunsetting our use of Webflow for content management and hosting, an
