Am I overlooking something, or would that mean it’s super easy for a rational participant to make money?

Hey, serious question that I ask in good faith: would you be open to a screensharing session, where we compare approaches and experiences?

This. By now I don’t understand how anyone can still argue in the abstract while it’s trivial to simply give it a try and collect cold, hard facts. It’s like arguing that the piano in the room is out of tune and not bothering to walk over t

I guess we all know and „love“ how every five minutes, some breathless hipster influencer posts „This changes everything!!!“ to every new x.y.1 AI bubble increment. But honestly? This here really is something. I can vividly imagine how in a

This is by far the best summary of the state of affairs, or rather, the most sensible perspective that one should have on the state of affairs, that I've read so far. Especially point 3 hits the nail on the head.

A boy receives a horse as a gift. Villagers say, "How wonderful!" The Zen master replies, "We'll see". The boy falls while riding the horse, breaks his leg. Villagers say, "How terrible!" The master says,

As a German, I can say I‘m very happy for the intervention some decades ago, but it’s of course just one example, potentially a bad one, and likely cannot be generalized — just wanted to throw this into the ring as a positive example.

Yeah, a pattern like „do the heavy lifting with cheap regexes, and every 100 line items, do one expensive LLM run comparing inputs, outputs, and existing regexes to fine-tune the regexes“.

Can you explain what you mean by that? As of this writing, there is a „Iran protests“ block on cnn.com on position #2 or #3 depending on how you count, well within the first 20% of the scroll-like homepage.

I think this is the most-fitting one-liner right now. The arguments going back and forth in these threads are truly a sight to behold. I don’t want to lean to any one side, but in 2025 I‘ve begun to respond to everyone who still argues that

I‘m aware this means leaving the original topic of this thread, but would you mind giving us a rundown of this whole Japan 1989 thing? I would love to read a first-person account.

As someone who’s responsible for some very clean codebases and some codebases that grew over many years, warts and all, I always wonder if being subjected to large amounts of not-exactly-wonderful code has the same effect on an LLM that it

Answering myself: maybe I feel much more urgency and motivation for this in the age of AI because the effects can be felt so much more acute and immediately.

I‘m on the same page as you, I‘m investing into DX and test coverage and quality tooling like crazy. But the weird thing is: those things have always been important to me. And it has always been a good idea to invest in those, for my team a

Sad thing is, it’s affecting not just their lives when they are 80 years old, but ours too! Every childless old person is a person for which someone needs to take care of who isn’t family. That’s not to imply people don’t have the right to

You need to set your bounds in every single workplace, because no one workplace can set the right boundaries for everyone .

Mh. Would like to hear the full story. My initial mental reflex is one of „es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen“, that is, „there is no right life in the wrong one“, as Adorno put it.

If I ask a SOTA model to just implement some functionality, it doesn’t necessarily do so using a great architectural approach. Whenever I ask a SOTA model about architecture recommendations, and frame the problem correctly, I get top notch

This is admittedly very tangential only, but as a non-native speaker / not a US-American, I found this sentence from the NYT reporting[0] a bit confusing: > John said that the suspect’s clothing was inappropriate for the weather a

Isn‘t it funny how that’s exactly the kind of stuff that helps a human developer be successful and productive, too? Or, to put it the other way round, what kind of tech leads would we be if we told our junior engineers „Well, here’s the c

I really wonder why the swarm intelligence of software developers still hasn’t decided on a single best clearly defined architecture for serving web applications, decades after the building blocks have been in place. Let the server render
