He is misinformed. Employment laws aren’t new, they’re the laws these countries adopted when they became independent because that is all the law they knew, since when they were colonies, these were the laws they lived under, and similarly t

I have just done a performance audit on some endpoints of a very fast moving team. Man, it is disheartening. A simple GET request to fetch one record has loops in the controller with nested database and external api calls. And this is in a

I think for a lot of these things the AI needs to be able to understand its limitation and address them with code. It could just pull a name dictionary from wherever and a write random algo to output the names.

They are forcing bc the goal is to reduce the cost center that SWE is, and are aware engineers will fight it because we don’t think it’s there yet, but they don’t want to wait for it to get there, they want to feed us into it so we can all

You don't get hired for any of that. OpenAI did not hire him because he went viral. Virality brought something interesting to OpenAI's attention. And they thought they could use this product idea/vision/execution, GTM st

It's not about being recognized, it's about when you are asked to be patted down, having the courage to lie "I can't raise my arms over my head", knowing the risk of being caught is at worst not making this flight.

It is mostly security, but not to residents of the country. Those can enforce their rights. In my country, I can argue with airport security, and win. Foreigners can’t, so they follow whatever rules. A few times when landing in the US, secu

What part of faster is better means engineering to you? Non engineers will prefer you get there faster, but however you get there, better is better.

When did this start? IMHO it started with instagram. I remember back then there were multiple retro photo apps, insta was one of them, I had several on my phone and kept playing around with them (at the time apps felt like Christmas present

You misunderstand me. While I left Windows over a decade ago, I recognize it was a great OS in some aspects. I was referring to the recent AI fueled Windows developments and Ad riddled experiences. Someone decided that is fine, and you won&

I don’t think this is the issue “yet”. It’s that no matter what class you are, your CEO does not care. Mediocre AI work is enough to give them immense returns and an exit. He’s not looking out for the unfortunate bag holders. The world has

Why do they have to charge employee tier prices? At the scale of job displacement they’re hoping for, a $2k/month per employee is better than even outsourcing overseas. And I think for a lot of jobs this is still profitable. Not every

How do you patch something that was written by another colleague, using an LLM, that you also need an LLM to figure out? How do you find the subtle bugs? Working with LLMs I noticed, they try to implement things from scratch. I asked it to

This is one reason, the other is just fraud. Being from a developing country, I am well aware of the stigma of saying I don't know, which I had to strip out of me as I became an engineer to the point of me being immediately suspicious

Understand what you want to build. Architect it. Talk to it like a junior. Ask for a plan, ask it to write the plan in plan.md, ask it to update the plan after every task (for example add this to CLAUDE.md), tell it to look at the plan and

These people won’t have to be experts like the tailwind team? Quality will be spontaneous?

Today, I wanted to add tailwind to a new project and realized I had purchased it back in 2022. So I went to the website and realized it had moved to tailwind plus. That’s how distracted I’ve been. To my surprise my access worked and I could

I don’t think we were ever supposed to be programmers. A lot of us are scared because they assumed knowing every detail of a system or language and being able to conjure a system with code was the point of your profession. But it was always

Sounds like a great idea. I would love to be able to swap technologies, like use a go or node backend, maybe use an entire framework like Echo or NestJS (I’m going for maintainability here, and I feel frameworks provide good guardrails). Bo

I love and live inside linux, so please go easy on me but...there is some level of product design that an OS needs to be a viable consumer OS. Linux has 100 ways to do any thing, this is 1: paralysis inducing, 2: causes high cognitive load

I think this would be a great product, and yes, I see value in it. Maybe this could go deeper. Many engineer founders want a Christmas tree of features. This process could help them trim the fat and actually optimize for PMF.

I agree, but this would mean that almost anything can’t be called hacking, bc it usually relies on vulnerabilities and implementation defects. If something is poorly encrypted and you retrieve data, you didn’t hack because it wasn’t encrypt
