Thanks for sharing your story. Your third iteration looks polished and professional on the outset. I haven't used it, I'd like to comment purely on positioning and messaging: Appaca seems to addresses the internal tools realm of m

llms don’t produce anything on their own. the sibling reply puts it very well how it doesn’t really make sense to gg mankind because a computer can endlessly answer questions and code. it is truly amazing! technology has been mind blowing

it’s not wrong. it’s what is unique about the AR medium in particular. “heightening reality” is whats in discussion. we can talk about it, but its not the sane discussion as photos, or video games, or VR.

I wouldn’t say that “what if the world was digital!” is some kind of apex creative insight. More practically the people in power need to own real estate. The metaverse, VR, AR, you’re giving these builders way too much credit by connectin

I used to think this but you only know which were the right corners to cut after the fact. And most things are not obviously right or obviously wrong, instead it’s a slow zombie death by a thousand fuzzy signals. And the management tier of

Yes, the main issue I had was regarding how anyone can get good without first being bad. Your comment highlighted a very particular worst engineer persona, as if there was an obvious way they could have avoided it preemptively. Since we’re

“Master all prior art before naively trying to do anything on your own” - also, very much does way more harm than good in a learning context. (it narrows the top of the funnel for no good reason) The gripe seems to be the negative effect on

Well, the inventory of primitives has to be earned. Else they can't actually be composed. Composition requires tacit knowledge. There's a learning pyramid thing that describes it. Just asked chatGPT to jog my memory (heh, heh)

It's much, much more nuanced than that. On one hand, it's very good advice to be clear about PMF. If you have to ask your product doesn't have it. It'll be servers-on-fire obvious when you reach product-market-fit. On th

I'm younger, but not by much and I too feel instinctively sad by how abruptly the entire industry has changed. And there's no going back. It's because I'm a craftsmen, I care about the code. And you learn in your career

I just recently learned about hooks[1] from another HN comment. Conceptually, running CI doesn't have to impose an Agentic tax right? In other words, isn't there a way to orchestrate this NOT as a long running token maxxing setup

/advisor has been really good experience for me especially with having only a Pro plan. I exclusively use sonnet and advisor is basically “hey opus chime in on my approach”. been working great as far as i can tell.

The trailing snark at the end will likely get you downvoted but I'm latching on: wtf is "system card". My previous coworkers popped that in the general slack channel when Mythos first "dropped" - "have you seen

I agree but the practical cost is most heavily paid in a collaborative work setting. Now everyone at all layers of a company is doing build prototype exploration but without the intermediary internal-filter check. Instead, these exploration

You're right, my gripe is specifically with code slinging that hits production end users. My background is in product so to your point, it's very unnerving to see a straight line being enthusiastically optimized for developers -&g
