The traditional news media has a track record that includes a ton of errors, but it is still far better than everything else. You open social media, and its a flood of content that does not accurately reflect the world.

Yet more evidence that venture capital is basically incompatible with open source software. It's just a matter of time before any VC-backed open source company betrays its users.

Ollama is a business? They raised money? I thought it was just a useful open source product. I wonder how they plan to monetize their users. Doesn't sound promising.

Big tech companies today are fighting over your attention and consumers are the losers. I hate this feature and I'm sure it will soon be serving up content that is as engaging as the stuff the comes out of the big tech feed algorithms:

You forgot the main source of pressure: you sell off equity in your company in exchange for cash. The buyers are buying the promise of future profits. At first, you still hold the vast majority of the voting rights, but over time you sell

Rails would have become irrelevant long ago if it wasnt for DHH. Especially in recent years he has been doing an enormous amount of stuff to keep Rails relevant and still the top choice for rapidly building businesses with a small team. I

Cline gives you the ability to jump back to any point in the task. The three options are "Restore task", "restore files" and "restore task and files" A common experience with these tools is that if you realize

Reading smart software people talk about AI in 2025 is basically just reading variations on the lump of labor fallacy. If you want to understand what AI can do, listen to computer scientists. If you want to understand it’s likely impact on

I agree that it is probably easier for an LLM to write good code in any framework (like Rails) that has a lot of well-documented opinions about how things should be done. If there is a "right" place to put things, or a "righ

The author does not understand what LLMs and coding tools are capable of today. > LLMs get endlessly confused: they assume the code they wrote actually works; when test fail, they are left guessing as to whether to fix the code or the te

Having a large context window is very different from being able to effectively use a lot of context. To get great results, it's still very important to manage context well. It doesn't matter if the model allows a very large conte

Why would removing your content from LLM training data cause people to go and seek it out directly from you? Would removing your website from google search results cause people to go directly to your website?

I think focusing on end-to-end time confuses things more than it helps. A system can have 10X throughput with the latency being unchanged. You don't need to reduce latency or cycle time to have a 10X increase in throughput. The bette

The part I agree about: Software engineering is about more than writing code, so accelerating coding by 10X doesn't accelerate a software engineer by 10X. The part I disagree about: I've never worked at a company that has a 3 mont

Cline is absolutely fantastic when you combine it with Sonnet 4. Always use plan mode first and always have it write tests first (have it do TDD). It changed me from a skeptic to a believer and now I use it full time.

What we are seeing with our customers is that LLM errors are a very manageable problem. End users adapt pretty quickly to the idea that AI systems aren't perfect. In many cases AI products are doing tasks that used to be done by huma

Some of this relates to a culture of job-hopping. It seems uncommon these days to stick around at a company for many years. If your next hire is only going to stay for 1-2 years, it doesn’t make sense to hire a junior team member and inves
