Enjoyed reading this. I've followed J Kenji Lopez-alt for a while and I've practiced the "aim below" method for a few years now. I also like that the article ends with the perfect Kenji-ism. "Yes, technically my met

I have a well documented copilot-instructions.md (and have used githubs new agentic self-documentation prompt) and the reality is that it takes about 15-20 minutes to build and start multiple react, reactnative and expressjs projects. Githu

Curious to try this against the Github (website) Agent. The website Agent is definitely dumber than the vscode agent (because it has to spend 20 minutes figuring out how to build and start my monorepo apps) but on the flip side, it doesn&#x

Everyone is suggesting that AI rejected this candidate but that brings up two points: 1) Is the hiring AI so incompetent that it did not realize it had a "S-tier pull" in the process and should have immediately prioritized the fin

The concept that you're talking about in the US is a "common carrier" e.g. a taxi can't deny some people or a hotel can't refuse some people. In the US, payment processors are not common carriers and operate on a co

I mean, they can burn it all up in a fire in a few months. xAI loses $1 billion per month, so this round would be an 8 month runway for that company. OpenAI loses $2 for every $1 it brings in, but perhaps they're only losing $500M&#x2F

I'm not sure I agree that flat design removed the technical barrier to entry. First off, not everything is flat. Second, and I think this is really important, the ability to deliver a beautiful design system and the ability to use a de

Even if the impenetrable human code was translated to English by AI, it's still useful for every future AI that will touch the code. Perhaps to get that decent documentation it took a decent bit of agentic effort (or even multiple pass

China would not engage in nuclear escalation in response to the US striking Taiwan, and China does not otherwise possess the ability to strike the US homeland without incurring a nuclear response, so there is no mutually assured destruction

I disagree. This is exactly what happened with the initial launch of Healthcare.gov after the Affordable Care Act. The government spent hundreds of millions contracting a large firm that completely botched the site, it couldn't even ha

I highly doubt it. Taiwan would destroy their own fabs before someone else did. But that's likely unnecessary, China would be unable to operate the fabs anyway and they've already stolen the relevant information and are trying to

Obviously charging back Hyatt won't get you banned from Hilton. And the response question would be: Why would you returned to a hotel chain that scammed you?

Do you have a tiny monitor? I find that people with small mointors maximize their windows because they have to. I have a 27" widescreen. The idea of maximizing a browser window is absurdity. My monitor can comfortably show three websit

Having a widescreen monitor is irrelevant to me unless I fullscreen my browser (which I don't and I assume most don't). My (multiple) browser windows on my very big wide screen are all roughly in 4:3 ~square shape and top tabs mak

Nonsense. The airline doesn't ask your marital/family status. They simply offer a bulk discount. By your logic, Costco is also "discriminating based on marital/family status" by selling bulk at discount. Costco does

Bulk discounts don't "penalize" smaller purchases, they reward larger purchases. Companies offer bulk discounts on basically... everything. This is like pointing out that the Dollar Store penalizes people for buying small qua

I'd say algebra is required, just because that's what introduces variables and functions. If you get into programming without knowing algebra, you'll learn algebra on Day 1 without realizing that's what you're doing

"understand" is doing a lot of work here. LLMs can explain math and solve math problems better than most programmers.

If paying rent, mortgage and food is all that matters, why not just pay people to dig ditches and then pay them to fill them back in? Why go through the rigamarole of engineering at all? If we accept that we should be productive, then it se

CEOs laying off engineers for AI is a good thing. It's a natural selection mechanism whereby poorly run companies will fail extremely quickly. These are bad companies with horrible leadership that are wasting resources. Their existence

Imo current models can already break things up into bite sized pieces. The limiter I've seen is twofold 1) Maintaining context of the overall project and goals while working in the weeds on a subtask of a task on an epic (so to speak)
