   At this point, why wouldn't you ask on the phone screen what attitude towards AI is? I would hedge towards AI usage if you didn't probe before and then justify why. Ymmv, can also gauge whether you want to work for the company bas

   Typst is awesome. I've completed migrated and am happy to never have to touch LaTeX again. (Or have an AI write it.)

   Interesting. I make a bunch of video content and I went another way. When I want to redo a section, I say it again. But, I have a magic word — "mistake" — that I insert before. Previously I transcribed and just removed the sentenc

   I'm happy w/ ty right now. My agents runs it fast and it seems to provide great guardrails.

   My experience with refactoring is if a change causes larger number of tests faults, I run the last failed test and fix that (see my AGENTS.md posted elsewhere). Generally, if you fix the one issue everything else falls in line. Wrt mocking.

   As an aside uvx is so pleasant to use... I wish Nvidia supported it as first-class rather than making folks jump through Docker hoops.

    My experience is the opposite. TDD keeps the guardrails on and let's me refactor with confidence. Crazy times here in the development world. I'm always curious to watch other's best practices.

    Testing is so important for development. Even more so when coding with agents. I think it is the probably the biggest lever to keep AI in guardrails. (It's also why I wrote my latest book, Effective Testing, because I routinely find th

    Just last week I made some automations for my recording and editing process in Resolve. Using Python to script initial editing. It works pretty well. I tried it this morning and in about 15 minutes I had recorded and edited a three minute v

    I mean, if you are really into this stamp thing, then it is actually a good use of crypto/blockchain.

    Use Pandoc w/ Typst. I've published many books using it. In fact, just had a friend with a traditionally published book who is now self-pubbing ask me yesterday about my tools. I recommended Pandoc and Typst. He (surprisingly to m

    I don't understand how a failing stamp for a campfire is good for the interviewee. It signals that they weren't good enough to get hired. Why would they want to parade that around?

    Is the goal maximum t/s? According to openrouter, Opus 4.8 is 128 t/s. So 10x faster than my antirez/ds4.

    Again, this is simplistic and not appropriate for a printed book...

    Quarto is one of them. When I checked it out, it wasn't usable for printed books (focused on papers). At that point (it's even easier now), I just painted my own bikeshed rather than dealing with others' weird angles and floo

    Odd take. I'm running them locally at my desk (DGX Spark and 128GB MBP). They work fine for 90% of what most folks do. Admittedly, they do run slower on my hw than on the cloud.

    The problem is knowledge gaps. You don't know what you don't know. A good book deals with that. For example, my Effective Pandas book teaches best practices that most never learn because the blog posts that train the models are ac

    Walking, showering, sleeping, and riding a bike are great ways to debug code. It's very cool to go to sleep and wake up knowing what the solution to the problem is. The key for incubation for me is to make sure my brain can churn witho
