Yeah, I’d like this too. It’s one of the only things I still miss from Google.

I love Kagi. I want to see them do well, of all of the search alternatives, this is the only one where I’ve never felt the need to go back to google. I was setting a up a new computer the other day and got confused that the first three link

Odd! Yeah nah, wasn’t really a thing in England.

Having a "stink" is right. Even without much thought, it's off-putting, does not sound professional and really icky. When you think a bit harder, it's just kinda awful. I do actually suspect the name does have some measu

In the UK, it’s the sex one and would be used as a general “idiot” word but that seemed to have mostly faded away. It’s not a word I’ve seen used in that context for many years. Not refuting anything here, just adding some context from over

I had been playing around with ideas for a few months after becoming a little frustrated with the noise and friction generated by longer lived and larger tailwind codebases. I was on a long-ish train ride and brought those bits together int

I mean clearly she was doing a bad job. I’m shocked this was even a position there.

Over here in the UK at the moment you can. They’ve recently made huge changes to a lot of chocolate products in the space of a year or two. Especially cadburys which is now just at the legal definition of chocolate over here. Any lower and

You’re right. I apologise

Agents are effectively a full McDonalds kitchen, yes. ...and yes, I know you don't mean that. I just disagree.

I used to work at a company that did in-person pair review. I wasn’t an engineer there but the engineers all legitimately enjoyed the process. They hired very capable people as a default, so it was watching two passionate and talented engin

But LLM usage isn’t equivalent to power steering, it’s what a full kitchen is to a microwave. You can sure put effort into a microwave meal but it’ll always work against you and much of the time you’re better off just picking up a pan. Not

This is entirely my point. Observing reality, you can see how little impact any of this is truly having. Decision making, communication and alignment is not helped at all by LLMs, it’s just leaving developers with more laundry.

It tends to be when the training data wanders into their area of expertise temporarily and they go “OMG, they hype is real. I was so wrong” and then a few releases later they’re on the train and furious that the skills in their domain space

Thing is. You can find an extremely similar paragraph written about Claude 4.x or some equivalent gpt. And simultaneously, many people expressing their frustration and the shortcomings of <insert any model> “But it’s different this ti

Will? They already have.

Extremely high. Or at least several partial solutions that can be smooshed together. LLMs really do still just reassemble things in their training data. There’s just a lot of it now, people anthropomorphise and struggle visualising large th

I disagree. It's still extremely possible to "google whack" an LLM on a topic with little publicly available information. If you ask questions about APIs in desktop software, say something like Houdini, it'll produce a b

I also think it's universal. When talking about this IRL I always say: "If one teenager works hard and saves for a few years to buy themselves a car and another has theirs bought for them on a whim, who would appreciate their car

I don't think it inherently devalues it. But the mediocre baseline for it and how much it entices you to allow it to just spit out that mediocrity takes discipline I don't think everyone has. I've seen some lean in and keep t

Didn't see this reply before adding my own. Yes, I think we're in agreement.

I think this is just my choice of wording, friction as a means of slowing down and thinking something through is useful. Friction isn't just a roadblock. For all the times you want to do something exotic, throw an hour or two at it and

A drum I've been banging increasingly often recently is that having friction and time to work ideas over in your mind adds huge amounts of value. Vibe coded projects have this very specific, well, vibe to them where you can clearly see

No, that's not what this analogy is about. At all. See, table saws are dangerous. Famously so. One of, if not the most dangerous tools available to the general public. They spin quickly with lots of torque and pull things in faster tha

To use your analogy again, it's kind of like the shop boss buying everyone a table saw and then saying "The best way to use the table saw is just experiment with it, it's the fastest and most accurate straight cut we can get

That’s why I said “effectively run as” rather than is . Cathedral does make contribution to software less open, that’s kind of its entire deal and what I’m talking about here. It doesn’t make it any less free, but then a good number of sof

Reports of Ruby slowness are often exaggerated. Around the time GH was built that was certainly true, but in the ways that matter Ruby is more than fast enough nowadays, even at scale. (Shopify is a rails monolith, as is intercom and a bunc

Yes, standard rails. Rails does not ship with components out of the box and the most prominent component system for rails was built and is maintained by GitHub. They have been moving to React for the last few years though, it seems to be mo
