Huh yeah I guess I never thought of it as not a rhythm game. At higher difficulty it’s really more of a DANCING game, if you think about what you’re doing with your body. I think the observation about the scoring system backs this up too, b

by corytheboyd 1y ago
It’s been so long I don’t remember if they explain the scoring system fully in a tutorial… but it becomes very intuitive if you _flow_ the direction the blocks want you to go in, with liberal follow through. Also, this makes way more sense

Whoa this looks really cool! I love how you made something physically 3D to stand out in a world full of 2D knobs and sliders… but it still has 2D sliders because those work the best for dialing things in with precision.

I’ve tried it, but it didn’t seem to have enough structure log support, so I gave up. I just want a way to say “this is a jsonl stream” and have it do the right thing, which is parse out the json paths of each line, and let me filter by tho

Damn, if you took out the “Kubernetes” part, and made it generalized, it looks like you built something that I have wanted to see for a long time. I think log explorers work best as a GUI, and that they need deep integration with structured

Yeah, that feels more right, and feels like a problem that is only going to get worse.

How do weekly 1:1 meetings with a manager not catch this very quickly? Okay, maybe the original suave interviewer comes back for those… Still feels like a good EM would pick up on discrepancies between work done and how the suave person tal

OBS can always get you there, but you will be doing the scene work on your own.

I guess the point is that VSCode won because it collected critical mass (despite people practically chanting Microsoft’s “embrace, extend, extinguish” game plan). If a sort of exodus were to happen, perhaps that same critical mass would sto

Eh MS wasn’t going to just let VSCode derivatives soak up all the AI gold rush money, these companies knew the risks. I wonder what it’s going to mean for projects like Zig, a migration of VSCode refugees could crank things up to 11 pretty

I think your intuition about this all is right. Maybe we’re holding it wrong, maybe it’s plateaued and won’t get better, or maybe it will get massively better. Whatever happens, I think it’s the right call to hold a sober opinion— LLMs are

I’ve grown weary of people repeating absolutisms they hear online, too. As is usually the truth in practice, it’s a mess, which is why I’ve seen combinations of upfront planning and code spiking work the best. An upfront plan ensures you ca

by corytheboyd 1y ago
I agree, they are very much exaggerating both time spent writing code, as well as the amount of time LLMs shave off. LLM coding very much does NOT take “near zero time,” I would argue that sometimes it can take the same amount of time or lo

I’ll do whatever shit the industry wants me to do, I don’t particularly care if it’s dumb. I mean, it doesn’t FEEL great to work on dumb things, but at the end of the day, I’m around to help implement whatever the paycheck writer wants to s

I never thought about it until now, but it’s insane that the companies who offer both LLM products and cloud compute services are double dipping— they get the LLM product to sell, as well as the elevated load egress (and compute, etc.) mone

Facebook gave you access to friends of friends, which was huge when EVERYONE was on it. That coupled with the Events system was pretty awesome. I don’t know if WhatsApp does this TBH, but it’s something you don’t get with typical messengers

I think the whole custom sort DSL is swinging the pendulum back a bit too hard. People just want a deterministic sort, with no injected ads or hate-bait, from exactly the people they follow, with the ability to apply basic filters on top o

The day can’t come fast enough where we just see things like this as trivial misuse of the tool— like using a hammer to drive in a screw. We use the hammer for nails and the screwdriver for screws. We use LLM for exploring data with languag
