Oh I see, thanks! I was under impression Google has migrated away from Perforce towards an in-house system a while ago, but looks like I was mistaken (or do you mean that system is derived from Perforce?). Edit: I guess its name is Piper..

Right, I know it’s not on Git and hence was my question - and it sounds like this is more about terminology and less about technology. I.e. what Google does in this case is not that different from just “Code Review” in the traditional sense

Oh, I see - by "pre-commit" it doesn't really imply it in "Git commit" sense - the change is still propagated to others (presumably by committing it as a sort of "draft"), it's just not committed to t

Curious how pre-commit code review worked, could you please elaborate a bit?

Sorry, what did they lie about? Not sure I follow (and don't have access to the article or the archive links, it seems..)

Never seems to work for me, unfortunately. Also the context window is too short so it chokes on giving me large outputs. And if doing it piecemeal, it would (partially) forget what it gave me in previous prompts. I feel like maybe my expect

Have you tried generating Arm templates too? I think my attempts were unsuccessful. What I have consistent troubles with is it losing the context as I try to guide it through something. And as I try to fix some mistakes, it fixes them and i

I think it's actually better for junior engineers to go alone for long stretches of time. That is such a huge driving force for their own success, when they have to learn by doing a lot of things on their own, without external help, an

Work != socializing. Quality work requires deep concentration over long stretches of time, not tapping on a shoulder at random intervals. Both IRL and virtually.

Well, that’s exactly what I’m talking about - new unproven tech that created more problems that it solved. It didn’t “solve” art since that is meaningless without a human artist. Instead, it stole popular concepts and is regurgitating it wi

LLMs were/are massively overhyped though. Like it’s not even close to the sort of transformation they promised. Neat tech yes, world-changing solution to all of our problems? Very hardly, unless a very significant effort is spent (and

This very much applies to Cloudflare, otherwise it wouldn’t tolerate hate groups hosted in the name of “freedom of speech” and all that PR bs. Ethics not only takes the back seat, it disappears without a trace. And let’s not forget the ethi

Or it may also happen the opposite way, when CEOs try to achieve too much with too little all in the name of staying “lean” so they could stay afloat, and working their early employees into the ground until they’re dead and fresh meat repla

Before calling someone's genuine thoughts "absurd", I'd suggest exploring https://readmake.com book, which goes into much more detail on these thoughts. It was written by one such highly successful indie dev,

They are not. Low is relative! Where a big company charges you 300,000K/year, I will charge you 30K and I have 10 of you, so still a win for me :-)

While difficult initially, a small business doesn’t need as much volume though - you might “only” have a few customers, but that’s gonna be enough to feed you and maybe your family. Plus, small business customers can stick around for longer

The prevailing school of thought in modern psychology even recommends to prioritize values/ideals over goals. Unlike the latter, the former is an inexhaustible resource. You can always be kinder, more honest/authentic etc, and no

This is kind of a stretch of an argument though. We could say the same about physics and any other sciences - everything is an abstraction at some level, but if this abstraction is reproduced by multiple independent types of measurement and
