What do you mean exactly? Are you the type that hates seeing comprehensions and high order functions and would rather just see long for loops and nested ifs?

Amateurs are the one who argue about syntax. Code quality is about how well a piece of code expresses what it intends to do. It’s like quality writing.

We should force cost basis to rise some % every few years, in order make tax due on unrealized gains. How would that throw a wrench into these tax deferral schemes?

That’s only part of it. The true intelligence is knowing what to recombine, and this is where AI falls short.

In Israel they use happiness as a rebellion. You try to kill them, you say what you want, but they don’t care, they stay happy. It fuels their enemy’s rage.

For all the hype of AI agents, you never see people taking on real challenging projects like this. Just low hanging fruit.

I know at least one case where the obsession with agents ruined a marriage.

There is a long history of managers just wanting to work their developers like horses.

People just don’t get it. The old internet isn’t coming back. Yea you could setup a little old school page but you won’t have visitors. So what’s the point? Better to post a blog post on instagram as pictures where you get more reach, inste

In order for companies to save face, we should rebrand WFH as “fertility days” instead. This way, companies can say they do not have work from home policies and are a full on site shop, however employees have “fertility days” they can use w

It’s a search engine, not a global grep.

That’s not why it doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense because in the forward guidance you’d be able to say you expect the $15 million coming in.

If you have earnings too frequently, it encourages companies to become hyper focused on earnings and make less long term investments. But if there is too much gap in between earnings, there is potential for grifting. What to do?

Yea I think a general history of computing that teaches from first principles would be great. Could help students realize neural networks and transformers aren’t really new concepts just needed the data and hardware to catch up. Can dispell

Any CS course that does not teach students “the hard way” is doing them a disservice, and represents everything wrong with the industry. Learning CS is not about learning how to get a big tech job at a fancy company, it’s about igniting the

I think we all know what Agentic engineering is, the question is when should it not be used instead of classical engineering?

The best thing to do is to schedule meetings with those people to go over the docs with them. Now you force them to eat their own shit and waste their own time the more output they create.

Similar to people building a bar in their garage.

In the millennial suburbs some people have converted their garages into small indie move theaters with good sound systems and people from around the neighborhood show up to watch obscure movies together and eat barbecued food.

It actually is. A year of experience is not equal at different companies. You could spend years writing very little code and have “years of experience” in a language, and you can also output intense volumes of work and still be within a yea

You’re right, and I think this is the future. For any proctored standardized testing a person takes, AI should be able to quickly summarize that person’s abilities. This way, instead of people writing their own BS resumes, a trusted test pr

Where I work, if you literally implemented everything in the backlog as is you’d fuck everything up. Things in a backlog are not independent units of work ready to go, there are nasty dependencies and unresolved questions that cross domains

If you work on 10 projects in parallel for a year using Claude code… you have the equivalent of 10 years of experience in 1 year.

I think it’s pretty clear what the purpose of this stuff is: get people so invested into the Claude ecosystem with certs and “modernization kits”, so that when the subsidies end and subscription costs shoot up they feel they’re in too deep
