Anthropic has a short training course https://www.coursera.org/learn/claude-code-in-action . There isn't really a lot of best practices at this point because the technology has improved significantly in 2025.

You get confidence in things by doing them. If you don't have experience doing something, you aren't going to be confident at it. Try vibe coding a few small projects. See how it works out. Try different ways of structuring your i

My original reason for blogging was because I wanted an easy way to link people solutions I'd found for various programmer problems. Posts don't 'work'. You have to write to write. For a long time my main motivation to b

The US went from being a net importer to a net exporter during that time period. Makes a big difference in prices.

Most people in the industry have never used Smalltalk or VIM or Emacs or heard of Slime. Thats where your hidden assumption is coming from.

I've never been a fan of IDEs. Claude Code makes them less necessary which I find amazing. I want to be in the terminal and a light text editor like Sublime Text.

There is no way we can compete in a global free market while paying 4x as much for labor. At a comparable level of technology and organizational skill the Chinese will win every competition, labor costs are that important. They have already

It's a lot more reasonable to use a motorcycle or scooter as your main form of transport when the max speed you are likely to encounter on the roads is 40MPH. In the US you will be sharing freeways with people going 80+MPH in SUVs dail

That has definitely changed. Google AdWords today is one of the most unfriendly services to onboard I've ever encountered. Signing up is trivial, setting up your first ad is easy, then you instantly get banned. Appeals do nothing. You

It's being treated like a gold rush but I don't think it really is. This is like dotcom 1.0 all over again. They didn't know what the best use cases for the internet were but they still poured billions into it. The gold rush

There is a saying "Every author has a million words worth of crap in them." Have you written a million words? Writing is a hard business. If you aren't willing to write the first five books just for yourself why bother? Selli

The annoying part is that every tech company made an internal mandate for every team to stuff AI into every product. There are some great products that use AI (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Nano-banana, etc). But we simply haven't had time to

No LLMs are not 'search'. Search as in google or a database query is deterministic. Are there results for x query? If there are we can return them. If there aren't we can't return anything. LLMs do not work that way. LLM

We're getting improvements coming out month by month. No reasonable person would look at a technology improving at this frequency and write a blog post about how we've hit the ceiling.

A lot of people experienced that during the 2020 boom. The lucky break wasn't a lucky break it was just a huge hiring boom. Once that's over the status quo returns.

Good explanation for why hiring stopped. If AI is improving rapidly why hire engineers now that you might not need in 6-12 months?

It's even worse. Either the CEO of FORD has no idea how much mechanics are paid or he is lying to the public for political handouts.

Paying better than a decent chunk of degrees isn't enough to be competitive. What are the working conditions? Is it inside with AC at a desk? Is it 8 hours a day 5 days a week? If it's not you have to factor that into total comp.

Do US car companies compete globally anywhere? Chinese people aren't buying GM cars. The US car industry hasn't been competitive globally since Toyota started making cars.
