Managing Humans by Michael Loop Many of the chapters are derived from his blog posts if you want to get a feel for it. https://managinghumans.com/pitch.html

Find example companies, find their current or past jobs postings (maybe use the wayback machine), and identify the specific technology and techniques they request. Use that to write a map and plan. Start using those technologies and buildin

Add more diverse characters which overlap with the personas you're seeking to appeal to? I'm not sure there aren't already highly educated viewers. I'd also point out that not all highly educated people are the same. In

Try cursor and 3.5 sonnet. It's definitely good enough. It's good if you give it specific functions to write or if you write a well structured plan in markdown.

You'll be fine, especially since you are making a best effort to adhere to the rules. While many people like to nitpick the specs of the contract, and they aren't technically wrong, the reality is nothing happens from the corp sid

For a start: There's a nice indie hacking and build in public type community on X. You can find lots of people there and see what they are doing in terms of posting. Next, just look for communities where your potential customers hang o

What's interesting to me is how this is also true for interactions with other humans.

I wouldn't say human code will be a hazard. More that Humans augmented with AI will be able to deliver more quickly, which is a potential business advantage. Humans guiding AI via a well integrated tool like cursor are reporting lots o

It's very clear that more computation (and ram) on larger models will produce better results when talking about general model use. This will be true for a while. Eventually the marginal benefits might plateau in combination with enoug

Whether applied to vibe coding or other tasks, I think it's the iteration and interaction that is the hook. And I do think it could be leveraged to practice and improve reading and writing.

ctrl-r in bash tops my list, even if it's not quite what you are thinking of as a unix tool. Probably the pipe itself would be my favorite next. Then in no particular order: tail, cut, xargs, wc, tr, grep, sort, uniq.

I'll suggest some, all very different. 1. The Software Developer's Career Handbook: A Guide to Navigating the Unpredictable by Michael Lopp This is about all the things around being a programmer at work. 2. The Soul of a New Machi

I'd say the most valuable skills are ability to learn / adapt, attention to detail, curiosity, and resilience. It seems like you're doing things right. Just keep iterating, learn from experiments, and do it again. Sure, you

A good first step is to imagine something fun you would like to create for yourself (or whatever idea you already have), and then try building that thing as a side project. Limit the experiment to no more than 3 months. Learn how to heavi

I've seen similar things happen. This is a great example of the unintended second order effects of regulation. Good intentions don't ensure good outcomes.

It's ok to be confused, and dealing with this kind of ambiguity is a normal part of life. I'll provide some ideas, but the real moves are always up to you. First, it sounds like you're not being challenged anymore or able to

I miss the prevalence of telnet and finger. There are still plenty of telnet accessible services, but not as commonly as before.

It would be fun to read a detailed writeup for just one successful infiltration. All the small details, step by step. Anyone have any movie recommendations for a more modern version of Sneakers (great movie)?

Difficult to learn indeed. Generally, employment gets a lot of interaction time each work day, and it's hard to set boundaries against that volume of input. I'd love to hear how people have learned to do that.

From your perspective: What are the characteristics of a healthy career? Is it healthy to have a plateau where you sustain some level (say Sr SWE) and don't "advance"?

That is indeed wild. Did you confirm it's 24 month term?

I read (but didn't confirm), that it's on a payment plan. So maybe it's more like renting the domain, which makes at least this detail sound more reasonable.

From my understanding, the protocols for each of these systems are inherently coupled to the internal service characteristics. RabbitMQ and Kafka take very different approaches to messaging. Neither is generally better, and they each make d
