I’m still an MVC fan, thanks in no small part to Scott Allen’s teaching (RIP). I agree that if controllers stay tiny and boring, your model stays rich and your app stays portable, testable, and easier to evolve. If you’re learning MVC, Sc

I’m old enough to remember when blogs were basically personal journals. Totally agree things have changed. But those diary-style posts are still out there, they mostly circulate in small circles instead of being easy to stumble across. Th

While I’d personally love for this to turn out to be alien tech, history suggests natural explanations usually win out. Still, it raises good questions. I asked ChatGPT for a summary: "3I/ATLAS is an interstellar visitor that does

Like it or not, AI is here to stay, but many of the questions it raises are ancient ones. Since I often spend my rainy days diving into the writings of the ancient world, I couldn’t help but imagine how three philosophers might look at it:

I get it. That’s why, over the years, I’ve simplified my own system. I use a paper sheet that is daily breakdown paper template and a quick Excel tracker. At the end of the day, I spend about 15 minutes logging everything in Excel, and la

100% agree! I learned that lesson a little later in life, but now I protect my “yes” like it’s a bitcoin. That said, as someone who loves juggling multiple projects, time tracking really helps me map things out and stay grounded. Appreciate

Trying not to do a shameless plug, I just wanted to share a few lessons I’ve learned that might resonate with anyone who’s ever launched something and expected the hard part to be over. I recently started blogging and quickly realized that

That’s a great question to start a Saturday morning. My take is somewhere in the middle: yes, karma matters, and no, not in the way it’s often perceived on other social media platforms. What I genuinely appreciate about Hacker News is that

I’ve been trying to make sense of all the recent safety discussions. After reading Bengio’s interview on Vox, I felt both uneasy and strangely hopeful, so I tried to put those thoughts into a blog post. It’s not technical, just one curious

Hard to ignore how much the AGI race now resembles big-money sports league. Top talent getting poached with 9-figure offers, teams reshuffling, and CEOs giving public commentary like it’s post-game press. Talent moves happen, and they ofte

Great piece. I assume you already know this and I’m not suggesting you’re saying otherwise, but I’d just like to comment that while “stretching beyond comfort zones is essential for professional development and growth…” is absolutely true,

Your article is well done with great advice. I definitely agree that we should focus on how changes benefit the user, not just what was built. One positive criticism: in my case (with a small user base of aprx 100), I feel it leans a bit to
