I've thought about the comp issue for a while and came up with a kernel of an idea for a possible solution. Most companies are going to fail which means that most engineers will see their options go to ~$0. The reason VCs make money re

I caution the community against optimizing for continuity when there are so many other factors that come into play. Sure it sucks to change which tool you rely on every few years but that’s bound to happen anyway for one reason or another.

I've been working on an open source programming assistant[1]. We use ML to power two way code generation so you can use the tool throughout the lifetime of a project. Since it can read code as well as generate it there are a lot of coo

Hey All, I started working on an open source programming assistant around a year ago. Our goal is to automate tedious parts of programming so developers can focus their efforts on the most important and novel parts of their project. The maj

I've been in and out of that boat for years. There's something about doing basic work that just drains creative people. I've found some solace in choosing projects that have a social good component associated with them -- CRU

I find that measuring has a huge impact. Download the Hours app for iOS and make timers for work, family, working out, food, etc.

Yes that's interesting. One thing that's always dogged me is that you can't really encapsulate snippets the same you can code. For instance - it's easy to find a snippet for Quick sort, but if I want to add a user system

Thanks for both of your comments. Can't reveal much, but I do want to clarify. We never took a cent more than the money we had paid for the agreement. As I said we dropped it as soon as it became clear to the party they wouldn't w

As someone who has regrettably had to use one of these, I can say I'm happy they exist. They are certainly abused so we had a policy of only using them as part of a legal settlement. We had someone who became mentally unstable on staff

Alan - nice work. I'm impressed with easy encapsulation being included in this on day one. I follow and have also built developer tools at the last 2 startups I've done. People often forget that part but it's really what make

IBMs Mo seems to be jump onto new technologies with name recognition. Make BOLD claims they can't back up. See Watson. See Q. See IBM Blockchain. This only serves to build distrust with developers but I bet their investors love it, but

With a business like this it's more important to make it easy on the content providers than optimizing the user experience for consumers. At some mass the algebra changes and it's all about making consumption seamless. This is the

I work in this space. We have some pretty sophisticated pilots in process right now for such an assistant. We can talk privately if you want to learn more. Expect to see a lot of this coming out over the next few years.
