What's interesting to me is how all of it is true. You were and are in an elite tier, the measure is purely how we care to slice it. Reminds me of the aphorism "whether you think you can or can't, you're right." I f

Yes. it's the point of the article.

Yes in a sibling reply, i was able to better understand your comment to mean "run stuff on my machine in a container"

by apsurd 1y ago
maybe i'm misunderstanding the "why run anything on my machine" part. is the container on the machine? isn't that running things on your machine? is he just saying always run your code in a container?

it annoys me that people fully automate things like type checkers and linting into post commit or worse entirely outsourced to CI. Because it means the hygiene is thrown over the fence in a post commit manner. AI makes this worse because th

After thinking about it charitably, it seems like you're asking "why are people different?" Are they being different because they want to convey "being different". Maybe. But also, people are different because peopl

Why do you feel the need to talk about how people talk? And now you got me doing it lol. It's just something to do. we're all doing it. chill. and now you're stuck cuz if you respond to me, well is it jut an inferiority compl

Everything you said is true. It doesn't refute that you should sell the 10% though. You're describing commerce. not getting it.

Human as in unique kind of experiential learning. We are the sum of our mistakes. So offloading your mistakes, becomes less human, less leaning into the human experience. Maybe humans aren't so unique after all, but that's its o

I remember stumbling into coding by way of CSS and HTML. For advanced functionality well there was "scripts" that you copy and paste in and magically worked. The ultimate boss came when stumbling onto "php scripts" that

Very helpful. It helps me better understand the specifics behind each call and response, the internal units and whether those units are sent and received "live" from the LLM or come from a traditional db or cache store. I'm p

when you say prompt caching, does it mean cache the thing you send to the llm or the thing you get back? sounds like prompt is what you send, and caching is important here because what you send is derived from previous responses from llm ca

you're right, I have seen the end dot in DNS configuration. I was a bit snarky in my reply.

Never in my life have I seen a domain with a dot at the end OR a dot at the end with a slash. bananas why is this your hill to die on?

Fair points. in rereading the comments, I think "fits the content so well is in relation to the comment that comment replied to: the content being quirky and comical. So the navigation being non-standard is on brand. and this is differ

Snapchat is the ultimate example of how intuitive UX doesn't matter as much as we get carried away thinking. Of course it matters. But not as religiously as we think. in other words, it's not that deep. The site is fun and you ca

Pedantic: "nice" or "good" does actually imply there's mass market agreement because otherwise what is the effective definition of the word "nice" or "good"?

This doesn't make sense. It's the baby out with the bath water. Yes! actually cars did have a plausibly negative effect on connection. in the before times you couldn't travel far so you didn't. and you saw your family ev

I do think code-as-craft should be respected in its own right. I'm very much a craftsman coder. It makes sense how I could clock so many hours over all these years. But what I do "at work" isn't the same as my personal p

The "manage a fleet of massively parallelized agents" gets me uneasy too. It sounds uber powerful on its face. And where all the nerd interest lies. It sounds stressful, like the ultimate manager job. Not what I signed up for. But

Isn't software never being finished a unique trait of software and therefore intentionally used as a value? I get that never-done software tends to justify shitty products. But how would you suggest taking advantage of software's

I just edited my comment! I do not wish to convey negative energy toward something you made. I felt bad about it. Also, I do care about writing, so thank you!

You got downvoted but then I read some and you're not wrong. I think we should call out bad writing assuming English is their first language. Bad, lazy writing, doesn't respect the audience. > Instead of crowd sourcing the OKRs

"Focus on problems, not solutions" is pretty standard practice. Seems like author cherry picks some abstract concept of "bigco" and their process-driven planning. I guess. Came here to say, I don't deny those anecdo

As not a fire fighter, I agree! I suppose I took OP to say gleefully as if it was uncalled for. But maybe it's what you said and they're just on the inside. Good to know all around.

Gleefully? because they should express remorse and handle your car with care vs you know, putting out that fire?

Good last line. Yep, I immediately thought of all the behind the camera people it takes to run a show like that. Conan O'brien also notably ensured his entire team was account for during the whole Tonight Show debacle, and onward.

a nurse is not the janitor of healthcare jobs. Your first hand experience with how brutal the job market is is real. And it definitely feels like zero sum when it comes down to "a woman gets hired for reasons over me" but i must c
