Damn. I had plans.

I'd add: Religiously, routinely refactor. After almost every feature I do a feature level code analysis and refactoring, and every few features - codebase wide code analysis and refactoring. I am quite happy with the resulting code - m

very cool. i made my own version of the final wargames sequence. now, whenever i am in a boring meeting i am adding something to the game mechanics.

I'd rather not name names - but one of the major, popular ones. We contracted a lot of usage, and are using it literally like a S3 bucket with a malware scanner attached to it, and ignoring the dozens and dozens of document management

Lots of companies buy saas, and then spend years customizing and effectively building what they thought they bought. And for big companies, it is costly - a few tens of millions for saas licenses, and maybe around 50-100m for system integra

I am in the middle of this - my audit committee just told me we need an exit plan "just in case". I don't think this is practically possible. The governments are currently focusing on enabling sovereign clouds - there is real

Huh? I use a mac and a linux box. I'd never cross my mind that I cant leave some unsaved changes overnight. I leave unsaved changes for weeks across the many things I am working on.

Nostalgia overload. I got a Commodore/PLUS 4 - With almost no games (just Saboteur, Jet Set Willy and Booty), and my father taught me how to program in Basic 3.5 - and before I was 10 i was making trainers with 7501 assembly learned al

I agree, for the most part. Despite having worked with or managed hundreds of developers over the years, I don't think there were more than, maybe, 5 that I would not gladly swap for a claude-equivalent. Diligent, able to produce good

> If this is true, you weren’t a very good programmer. There’s much more to code quality than refactoring working code. Yup, my conclusion exactly. With that said, most code I have seen in private sector is almost objectively horrible (a

Could be, but that stack happens to also solve for a lot of problems totally unexperienced people will struggle with (such as, to not look too far, CORS issues). Good reco for a non-tech person to build a frontend. And besides, who cares wh

100% this, too. I am an IT professional - CTO for a large-ish enterprise (25-30bn yearly revenue). I am finding myself waking up at 4am every single day for the last 2 months to vibe code stuff i always wanted to build for myself, my family

It helped me finish my webRTC client for a esp32 microcontroller. Thats fairly low level. It did it without breaking a sweat - 2hrs, and we had a model which works with my pipecat-based based server. I loaded the lowest level piece of softw

I am no longer sure thats the case. I had it chew through a gnarly problem with my own custom webrtc implementation on a esp32 SOC. It did not rely on any existing documentation as this stuff is quite obscure - it relied on me pointing to s

But its already the present. For what I am vibing my normal work process is: build a feature until it works, have decent test coverage, then ask Claude to offer a code critique and propose refactoring ideas. I'd review them and decide

I started doing some research over the holidays and the smart system seems to be designed to prevent reversing - fuses blown both ways, so didn't even manage to read the firmware, and communication with the client software relies on wh

I am not interested in either, I just want to have control over the hardware I purchased with my own money. As for thieves, they apparently have ways of bypassing bosch drm via hardware - bosch bikes get stolen all the time. As for speed un

Fantastic and inspiring write up, big thanks! Here is to hoping someone will do something similar for DRM'ed BOSCH ebike motors.

I have a Class 1 Makita (green) laser level, wide strong beam, excellent tool for landscaping. I accidentally looked into it from a 10 cm distance. It did not leave permanent damage, but for a few days I had the dot burned on my retina. And

People are and always were reluctant to share their own code just the same. There is nothing to be gained, the chances of getting positive reviews from fellow engineers are slim to none. We are a critical and somewhat hypocritical bunch on

I have long standardised the way I do hotel reviews: - bullshit wifi connectivity (e.g. captive wifi + OTP)? - normal wifi but with very long password? - is there a place to put toiletries in the shower? - clean? - time to check in and c

That, and computer systems have significantly more states, which makes unpredictable states and state transitions more likely. (Which of course also means that until all eternity the first thing to do when something misbehaves is to try and

For sure, for instance Google has ADK Eval framework. You write tests, and you can easily run them against given input. I'd say its a bit unpolished, as is the rest of the rapidly developing ADK framework, but it does exist.

Yes, but also legislation. Same as with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes - it does not make it impossible for kids to get access, but it makes it impossible for large companies to make selling that to kids a business model.

Oh man, thanks for that! (Shorts are not completely gone - they are still visible on channels subscribed to - but the toxic homepage thing is empty. Big thanks!)

The people managing youtube and similar services are doing lots of harm to humanity. Not sure if more than those who push drugs or cigarettes, but in the same league for sure. An entire generation of kids is growing up that can't read
