Another way of phrasing this though, is that it's in the team's power to determine process (or the lack thereof). Regardless of success or failure you can say to what degree this is true, and to me this is really that only part of

I will say I specifically don't sync git repos (they are just local and pushed to github, which I consider good enough for now), and I am aware that syncthing is one more of those tools that does not work well with git. syncthing is no

Ironically the only place I encounter this is using google news, where news sites seem to detect you're in google news (I don't think these same sites do it when I'm just browing normally?), and try to upsell you their other

After mucking around with various easy to use options my lack of trust[1] pushed me into a more-complicated-but-at-least-under-my-control-option: syncthing+restic+s3 compatible cloud provider. Basically it works like this: - I have syncthin

Yeah, I couldn't be bothered getting my accurate chest strap out, but my watch (which is generally very close to the strap) was anywhere from 10-20 off what it was reporting. This is sitting down, 30min after a run.

tbf they have been saying they've started doing this since December, so we're only a few months in. And like most software it's an iceberg: 99% of work on not observable by users, and in spotify's case listeners are only

If it indicates, culturally in the current zeitgeist, that an AI wrote it, it becomes a bad structure.

Yes, I have not bought a few books after reading their free chapters and getting suspicious. Honestly: there is SO much media, certainly for entertainment. I may just pretend nothing after 2022 exists.

Agreed, and were gonna see this everywhere that AI can touch. Our filter functions for books, video, music, etc are all now broken. And worst of all that breaking coincides with an avalanche of slop, making detection even harder. There is t

You should still use swap. It's not "2x RAM" as advice anymore, and hasn't been for years: https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html tl;dr; give it 4-8GB and forget about i

You need to take every comment about AI and mentally put a little bracketed note beside each one noting technical competence. AI is basically an software development eternal september: it is by definition allowing a bunch of people who are

It's not clear why this is being upvoted. There is not a sample chapter to check, the two authors own the website and appear to be just some developers who know go, and frankly the cover looks AI generated. As a go developer, why am I

Sorry, I was referring less to the sarcastic elements of this article and more the not sarcastic elements of the Claude Code engineer's post on Twitter / Bsky.

So erm, is this a good thing? I've only been using it for a month, but it quickly becomes incredibly laggy. I have to kill it completely and reopen it[1]. I've also had some unique hard locks never before seen on my machine[2], on

I am getting workable code with Claude on a 10kloc Typescript project. I ask it to make plans then execute them step by step. I have yet to try something larger, or something more obscure.

This is the fracture in the industry I don't think we are talking about enough. It overwhelms everyone's ability to keep track of what it's doing. Some people are just no longer keeping track. I have no idea if people are jus

Look I have no idea if this is related, but I have noticed recently, talking to other developers, that the addiction / allure of the speed that coding with AI agents gives you is leading to a relaxation of their standard quality bar. T

Remember, I am responding to this: > With AI, if well done, it would be *useful nearly everywhere.* I'm not saying it doesn't have uses. Having said that, there are two things I never want AI to do: a) degrade or remove the nee

I think in that case you have even less ability to turn that stuff off? If it's not there for you yet, perhaps it's a slow rollout still?
