Do we really need a new system for this? What’s wrong with just writing an elaborate commit message?

I kinda like Taleb’s take on forecasters; get another job.

When nobody actually knows (how to write a CLAUDE.md), everyone’s an expert. Infuriating, indeed. Even more so when people vibe code those files without proofreading.

Ugh, agentic _dreaming_. Why on earth would I want that?

I remember when OpenAI announced ChatGPT now will remember stuff between sessions. Oh, you mean find random trivia about me and copy paste it between prompts without out my explicit consent. ”compare these three cars. Oh btw I am a data eng

TBF, I haven’t heard much about MCPs at all lately. I thought it was one of those “install once -> make LinkedIn post on how MCPs will change the world -> ugh MCP crashes with wierd error -> abandon” things. Could be wrong.

How is that company doing today? I think there’s a balance to it. You have to meet the customer, and also understand your boundaries. I’ve sold non-existent features that I was unsure if I could deliver, but always solved it since I’m good

I don’t like that non-technical users has to keep context bloat in mind. That should be ”solved” on the developer end. How would they now it’s bloated if they treat MCPs like regular software? I 100% agree on designing things for humans, an

I remember my good old PC with Windows around 2005. It wanted to reboot all the time and got stuck in an infinite updating cycle every time I did. It was a particularly lazy computer.

Big Data is terrifying and only solvable with opaque deep learning

So not much a coincidence I’d say. Very much by design.

Imagine there’s a hit list circulating on Signal with your name on it, and an anonymous user is offering $5,000 for your head. Or imagine your daughter is getting blackmailed by some anonymous pedophile freak over Snapchat. Nah, I need stro

It all sounds like a really fragile business model. I cant imagine a world where AI is NOT commoditized.

Yeah, the narrative feels like pre-IPO shenanigans, and it looks like the lid on my laundry basket. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a con.

Well, you did good and got paid. It all sounds very serendipitous. Isn’t like 99% of all tech fraud?

It’s the new internet. So, so annoying.

Why would you prefer Python and Pandas over good old SQL? Pandas is so verbose and hard to debug, most of the times struggle to be performant on small datasets. SQL has been around since the dawn of databases. I am happy to see a trend away

Are they trying to say its ChatGPT?

I have seen a few codebases lately with AI-bullish teams. Code produced by Cursor reeks of low quality. I’ve tried it but never got hooked. AFAIK their market is pseudo-technical people who haven’t found the terminal yet.

Do you use this at work or is it for vibe coding? Also, I don’t quite understand the problem you are solving. The solutions is a lot of technical parts put together, but why?

VSC with dbt Fusion, or Datagrip maybe? I used SQL workbench once and it felt like a time capsule. It was impossible to navigate without mouse.

The real flex is delivering it in one-tenth of the time. Mentioning lines of code is mostly noise. I’ve worked with 20-year-old codebases and products that grew organically over decades and still sit well below a million lines of code. Usin

CI/CD? My non-techie friends send me screenshots of ChatGPT. I guess that’s a modern micro aggression?

We had a notorious (traditional) ML course at uni, with a very high fail rate. I got an assignment full with “complete the proof”-type derivations and Python stubs. ChatGPT had just received PDF support so wth, in goes the complete assignme
