It's worth nothing that over the holidays, I decided to pick up Go for a personal project and tried GitHub CoPilot. I was tremendously impressed. At the beginning, it was mostly useful for helping me with syntax as I could ask it to

I spent a bunch of time trying to get my family to take the train from Boston to Florida, but didn't have any luck until a couple years ago. Our "flight" ended up requiring sleeping on a bench at the airport and driving for

Is this a surprise, though? I think any sane developer would expect that a generative AI code helper making suggestions based on existing patterns in your code would do exactly this. It's not "thinking" about security, perf

I've experienced startup acquisition as an executive and as an employee. Unusual travel is spot on. Our CEO was a frequent traveler, but the rest of the exec team rarely traveled. When 5 of us were all traveling to the Bay Area at

I'm new to Go within the past year or so. Every time I start thinking about some fancy sugar I got from another language, I've basically realized that I didn't need it. The ease of "build" and "run" is a

Agree. I've built a bunch of stuff using those APIs and consuming those links is actually more work than not having them, IMHO. To find them, I have to look at response payloads, identify the field with the link, and then call that li

For me, it all comes done to ideological purity vs. what works. Everything exists on that continuum. REST as defined in Roy's dissertation is pure and beautiful, but the work of programmatically navigating such an API adds burden for

It is worth noting that a "lowball" from Meta is still probably more than a "best offer" from the vast majority of other companies.

It's interesting to see how things have change. Granted, my sample size is 1 for negotiating with Meta a few years ago. In that, I had competing offers, but let the recruiter know up front that I wouldn't share exact details oth

My very first startup (early 2000's) was a SaaS billing platform. It was acquired long ago, but I've yet to work on any system that approached that level of complexity. Ignoring all of the challenges of taxes and such, things ra

My own personal and completely based on anecdote opinion on note taking is that I can write notes while paying attention to something else, but typing has a much higher cognitive load, so more of my attention is focused on operating a keybo

Agree. This feels like judging youth because they don't feel compelled to conform to some "subculture" in order to have a happy, fulfilling youth. As the parent of a teen, I see a massive difference from what I saw as a teen

This has been my experience as well. I resisted cordless for far longer than I could really justify, and have been very, very, very pleasantly surprised with how well the cordless stuff works.

I wanted to accuse you of being preposterous, but it looks like S&P 500 grew 24.1%, Dow 13%, and Nasdaq 43% in 2023. A basket of investments spread evenly across those would have returned around 26.7%.

Personally, I've had a wild ride: 2019 - 50% raise 2021 - 30% raise 2022 - layoff and eventual 67% pay cut 2023/2024 - applications everywhere, and "success" is getting a company to communicate a rejection.

This sounds awesome, and exactly the type of thing that a) I love and b) I'm really good at. I can go very deep in a new thing while also fitting everything into the big picture.
