The funny thing is, they don’t. They often jump to a solution that lacks in many ways, because it barely addresses the few inputs I gave (since they asked no follow up, even when I suggest they ask for more requirements).

I’ve conducted about 60 interviews this year, and have spotted a lot of AI usage. At first I was quite concerned, then I realized that in nearly all cases I’d spotted usage, a pattern stood out. Of the folks I spotted, all spoke far too cle

Sure, currently I’m performing a big refactor. As I do this, I find myself switching between refactoring perhaps 2-3 related (but still separate) components in my code. I find claude struggles to separate them if I’m working on one then nee

Imo I’d prefer terminal for this as well. Ie; if I could keep context specific to a branch, or even within a branch switch contexts.

Agreed. Most services start deployments on a small number of hosts in single AZs in small less-known regions, ramping up from there. In all my years there I don’t recall “us-east-1 first”.

Fairly accurate take on a lot of AWS. I worked there from 2015-2022, and overlapped in CloudFront for some time. Can’t say anything in there comes off different from my own experience, though my own time there was through a different growth

“Global” and “edge” services such as IAM, Route53, CloudFront and so on have dependencies on us-east-1, so even if you don’t think you do, you probably do.

Some of the “global” and “edge” services depend on us-east-1. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-fault-iso... “In the aws partition, the IAM service’s control plane is in the us-east-1 Region,

The feature in the app is also worded cleverly: “Search party lets you use your outdoor Ring cameras to help neighbors in your area” Note: doesn’t mention pets yet. Then: “Starting with lost pets, Search party will…” What comes after lost p

The Wayback archive piece disappearing is concerning, though perhaps there is a rational explanation. Can Instagram request the Wayback archive remove content?

Yeah I think that’s accurate. The org had good intentions and owned some reasonable programs, but more and more became basically a security organization focused on cutting off hands to prevent people from touching keyboards, rather than add

At a large cloud provider I held a role for a bit in the “safety” organization that was tasked with developing better understanding of our incidents, working on tooling to protect systems, and so on. A few problems I faced: - culturally a l

This is great! I can see this useful across a variety of self-assessment things: - I’m tired often, are there certain patterns that align with that? - I’m feeling anxious, what events in a day (or other inputs) align with that?

But waymo does not operate nearly at the same degree as what Tesla FSD aspires to (anywhere, anytime). While a good amount of functionality exists, the liability model and accidents are big road blocks to seeing this technology truly mainst

The problem seems to be that it’s already out there, why would the data brokers and companies cut into their margins?

It goes in waves, the forces behind it will continue and keep pushing until they can get it through, its a setback though.

How do you think the current political climate has shifted this? It seems maybe individuals won’t express a non conformist view as easily, but politics has grown more extreme in terms of what acceptable positions are in the first place.

It really feels like there is no debate anymore when it comes to things actually being implemented, they are just thrust upon us and maybe discussed later after there have already been consequences

It can be, but isn’t the most realistic starting point for someone out of shape to go from being overweight and driving already for 45 minutes (without traffic) to cycling 40-50 miles each way.. also people have kids to drop off/pick u
